Glass Ode.
Together we've journeyed thus far,
A careless and happy band;
Now the world throws her portals ajar
And here on the threshold we stand.
Into dim future we cannot gaze
To read what there lies in store;
But we may turn back to bright school
days,
We may view those scenes oncsmore,
Which charm to our school life lent,
And made all the way so fair
That through the time in study spent
We have known scarce thought OF care.
The years have rolled pleasantly on
And been numbered with the past;
One by one have our school days gone
Till too soon we have reached the last.
Soon will we mingle with the throng
In this busy world OF strife,
Who are ever laboring on
To attain true success in life.
Still would we gladly linger here
But in new fields we must dwell;
SO to our school and teachers dear
We will now say fond farewell.
80 and 81 Banquet.
Immediately upon the close OF the ex-
ercises in the hail the classes Of 800 and
'91 proceeded to the Red Lion Inn where,
as usual, tempting feast had been pre-
pal ed. The place each was to occupy at
the table was designated by name on
the menu, upon which was also written
quotation that was. supposed to apply TO
that individual, and after all had partaken
OF the rerast and refreshed the inner
mani reading of these quotations was
called for and afforded no little amuse-
ment as they had been carefully selected
and many OF them fell very pat. George
e. Mann acted as POSTMASTER and the ad-
mirable way in which he discharged the
duties of his position showed that no Wis
er choice could have been made. His
ready wit and free and easy manner ban
shed all feelings OF restraint IL such had
existed and all felt that II seemed like old
times in school. Miss Cornelia Pierce, in
behalf OF the '90s, then extended greet
ing to the Younger sister, 81, in most
manner, dispelling thoughts OF
regret that her words might awaken by
happy intermingling OF testing and sad
ness. In we'll chosen words irwin l..
Chadwick responded to the greeting,
thanking the '90s for the kindness and in
terest shown toward the class he represent
ed. In pleasant ,anecdotal style, Fay Wells
next related some amusing incidents con-
nected with his experience in "wieldlng /
the rod in district school. NJ. Lucina |
Saxton responded with pride to the toast. |
.sOur School," and gave excellent reasons
why all should share her feelings in re,
yard To II. The toast, Recollections,
brought j. Pearl Clifford TO his feet, and in /
an informal and agreeable manner he re-
called many amusing occurrences and /
gave sketches which brought the past WV
div before the minds of all. In response |
10 the toast Expectations" Agar +.
Carleton spoke in his usual spirited and
'orcible manner. Miss Clara A. Dubois
hen favored US wit b well executed piano
,olo which was appreciated by all Geo.
W. Scott was next called upon to respond
o the toast, 'sUniversitas Verd Months"
md his hearty words of praise OF the Uni
,ersity OF VT. awakened in all feeling OF
bride that this is an institution OF our own
Green Mountain State" Galen b. Fish,
II responding to the toast, 1.-The Chand-
er School, gave some very interesting
acts in regard 10 the work done there, and
lis words should have weight as he is in
position to know whereof be speaks. Be-
ore the close OF the banquet Mr.. White
ill spoke OF the pleasure afforded him by
his and former gatherings OF a similar
nature and hoped the practise would be
continued. The POSTMASTER then called
pon Miss Mabel j. Smith, j. Laroy
damn and Carroll H. Pratt, and each re-
pended in very satisfactory manner, az
er which the '91s adjourned TO the par
Or where farewell class meeting was
eld, and President Clifford once more
allied the class of 80 to order and steps /
'ere taken to establish feasible system
I communication between the members.
hen all prepared to depart with many
fishes for another reunion next year.
