listory of Class of 1906 I T is the story of the 190 class that I propose to give—the record of one of the best classes of which our school can boast. Before considering the class this year, we should gaze backward over the road it has traveled This road has been a little rough but time and labor have brought us to where we are now. From its infancy, it has been a faithful and intelligent clas.s. When we were classed as sixth grade stu¬ dents, we were styled “angels” even by our elders; but few of the original number are left to tell the story of this period of its greatness, and these few deserve much praise. You may be sure we felt joyful when we came back to our school-rooms this year, for we were then junior, and you who have reached that stage in your life know what a feeling of pride comes to one when he thinks that he is nearing the time when he will no longer be “bossed” around by an upper classman. This year finds us with a class of seventeen girls and seven boys, the number being much diminished from that of last year’s class, for several of the boys have gone to the colleges (much to the disappointment of some of the girls) and a few of our class-mates have become “Ladies and Gentlemen of Leisure,” but we who are left are very proud of each other. It was one of our noted girls who introduced to the English tongue the saying “Thank Stars!” which is now used by the students of all the grades of our school. The girl with the Hashing eyes still commands great attention, but once, at least, this year, she must have lost all her power, for the teacher, while not under her spell, marked her ten off. Her eyes looked flashy after that, and if you had noticed very closely, you would have seen that they had a decided reddish hue. We can boast of having three more boys than the Senior class, and they are, we think, as brave as the Senior boys ever dared to be. We have also a distinguished pony rider, and although an excellent horseman, he came near being thrown one morning while crossing a Homan ditch. Our class, although not as good mathematicians as our fellow-students “ The Se¬ niors,” are said to be better linguists, and one of our German boys can often be heard saying, “ Du hist ein Dumme,” though not to himself, strange to say. Another characteristic of our class is giggling, and one of our girls suggested we should have a second motto; namely, “ We live to giggle.” Do lectures pay a great part in making one what he or she should be? If so, we will some time be model ladies and gentlemen; for from the beginning of the year we have had the benefit of famous lectures, the kind that makes a scholar feel his smallness in more ways than one, and which causes a feeling of “ O! were I a Senior ” in one’s heart. Now we are all striving to do our best this year, and are looking forward to the time when we shall have completed the curriculum of the Salisbury High School, and if we are thus so fortunate, may we leave behind us a name that will be not soon forgotten.
