Z perhaps taken some time from our studies but it has cer tainly been a pleasure .to us, and we feel that the time it has taken is not wasted. We will always keep a Gleam as a memoir of our school days and our school friends., As soon as we have finished our Gleam work we will turn our attention to Commencement. Oh, how much it means to us, and soon we will be preparing for it! Our class has always 'taken part in the new movements in our school. We are now about to start a new custom. We are to have a Class day. It is with great pleasure that we look forward to it, and we are doing our best to make it a success. Our class is about to leave. Our record is made, and it is now beyond our power to change it. Still, though it is not perfect, we are verytproud of it. Of course, we LOOKING BACKVYARD IN 1926. The class of nineteen six was a band Of boys and girls, whose aim in life, Was to become leaders in the landg To lead in the world's deadly strifeg In the battle of right 'gainst wrong, To fight for justice, -staunch and long. Gi all that wondrous winning class. Bessie heads the list in fame, Classics she wrote while yet a lass, And very early she changed her name. .

THE GLEAM. - Lives on her farm so great and fair, And Grace became a farmer's bride, And now she ruleshher acres wide. Alas, alas, Vida has come to be A teacher of solid geometry, ' Here, there and everywhere may be seen, The popular, Sister Lucy's Magazine, But William, early drifted out 'west Where he owns a ranch, Uncle Bills Rest, And Morton went to the busy east Where he became rich to say the least. Bertha journeyed back once more, To her native state, of the golden ore, Where she teaches the science of song, Labors incessantly and long. Spurgeon wen-t to a 'Varsity far away, And now he is Bishop of Ballarat 5 Allie vowed she'd be an old maid, But that air castle sure did fade, For she, too, has changed her name, Edna has forged 'her way to fame, She left her home for dear old France, ' She learned to paint in the home of the dance, But she returned to Missouri once more, Preceded by honors and fame galore. And Jessie, too, to fame did climb, The greatest musician of her time. U Kathelene married a merchant well-to-do, And julia is working and fighting too, For temperance and woman's rights, And May, after seeing the old world's sights Returned, and ended at the bridal altar, Myrtle with many a trial and falter, ' At lastdid scale the heights of fame, And on -every tongue is Annie's name, . Q She writes for many a magazine, Such as Sister Lucy's and The Gleamf' Georgia, too, became a bride, One man's treasure, one man's pride. Nellie eloped with an English prince, And hasn't been seen or heard of since, And Margaret's book's are all the rage, Read by people of every age. But Eva left to return again After catching one of -the richest of men. , Sybil, too, has made her mark in life, In busy, strenuous, commercial strife, And O-tto switched from prose to verse, But found he had gone from bad to worse. Twenty-four names are here told in rhyme, Soldiers living in every land and clime, Who fulfilled their school-day's ambition In high and responsible positions. OTTO A. SCI-IMID
