Glass History.
Upon the conclusion of her beautiful
essay. Miss Price proceeded to thus set
forth the following interesting points in
relation to the class OF '83:
In looking over the past events of my
class l could but think of the allegory
in which life was seen under the SEM
blance of bridge, crowded at first, but
one by one dropping into the river of
death below, until as they reached the
further shore few, very few, were seen.
So see IN the long ago a crowded class
as we entered the hall of learning, but
as the years glided on, one by one

class at the beginning OF the present
school year. He was valuable acqui-
sition, and to him we owe much. First
and foremost, he brought us dignity /;
secondly, wisdom; and thirdly, height
Frank was born fifteen years ago in St.
Louis, Missouri He has attended
school at st. Louis, Wyman Institute,
Illinois, and Humboldt, Kansas, where
he carried off the honors IN all his class
es in which full scope could be given to
his conversational powers, which are
great, and his Imagination. which is
greater. He claims the honor of being
the youngest graduate from the Emporia
High school.
We might fill volume and then not
halt would be told of the wonderful ex-
ploIts, feats and achievements of Arthur
MillIken. He has attended school in EN-
poria seven years. His first teacher was
Mrs. D. Jackson, whom he tortured by
constantly asking questions and en-
deaYoring to prove all her replies il
logical. His penchant for argu-
ment and investigation he has cul.
tivated during his entire course in the
High school. Arthur has advanced
steadily in learning, and we take great
pleasure and pride in introducing to
your notice our rhetorician, metaphysi-
clan, mathematician and logician.
Among the young ladies of the class
first on the alphabetical list is Annie
Atyeo, who has attended school nine
years, obtaining her entire education in
Empnria, except short term in Jack,
sonville, Illinois, where she was born.
Her peaceful and contented disposition
has always made her a great tayorite.
Carrie Frost is remarkable for being
the youngest and the tallest lady IN
the class, and the only one who has com
pleted the Latin course. For the first

not last long, for soon neither for love

four hours. Carrie was born in Clinton
Iowa, and attended school for sever
years at Clinton and Bellevue. She en-
tered our class in 1880. and has eveI
since been faithful aud conscientious
student.
Jessie Green has been our most indus
trious member, and the only fault heI
friends think she can never forgive is in
dolence. She has always attended school
EmpOria, beginning in the lowest
grade and gradually working her way
up into her present position. Having
devoted nine years in acquiring an edu-
cation by careful and diligent study she
will receive her reward when tonight

1t was the determination of Kate
Hurst never to attend school, for she
wished to employ herself in having g
good time generally, but to the surprise
of all became pupil quite young and
