 at her now and see the bright color mantling her cheek at the mere mention of her name She begged me to leave her out of the history, but of course
 such partiality could be shown to nc one. It seems strange that she is sc timid, for she came to us from the wild woody west
 Others mentioned in the history were
 Mary Avery Sanford, Edyth Blakeslee, Miss Marie Dillon, Miss Katherine and
 Miss Josephine Sullivan, Miss Clara Klebe, Lillian May Hopton, Miss Nettie Moore, Miss Ethel Tillotson, Miss Louise Alice Griggs.
 The history of William Frank Clark then followed, which Is given below;
 WHAT WILLIAM FRANK CLARK
 SAID.
 I will commence my list with our ge- nial friend and my opponent, Walter Walsh, better known as "Wallie " Now Waffle is a very nice sort of fel- low, but he has one failing, and that Is for breaking things; as "Hen" Ray knows to his cost, At the beginning of the year Waffle had nice strong desk. Now look at it. You would think San dow had paid visit to No. 10. One day Waffle came to school complaining of terrible toothache. At the close of school he buttonholed "Pete" Ray and made him go to the dentists with him. The dentist adjusted the forceps and after considerable trouble pulled the re- fractory member. He then turned to Waffle and asked him how it felt. Wal lie thought a minute; then placing his finger in his mouth he suddenly turned very pale and rushed out without an- swering the dentist.
 Pete began to feel frightened and asked Waffle what was the matter; and this is the startling reply he received: {: Why, the idiot pulled the wrong tooth"
 The next person whom have selected as my victim is the captain of next years football team, Oscar Erickson. oscar isn't contented with the studies laid out for him in the commercial course, so he is coming back to school for an extra year Brick has strange faculty for getting himself into trouble, his latest adventure being in the Ger man recitation. We were all sitting there very quietly, listening to the rec itation when suddenly there was a great commotion in the back of the room. The teacher asked Oscar what was the matter, but he didn't answer. Finally she went down to Erickson's seat and there he was with lis hand through the door that leads into room B. When told to draw his hand back he exerted all his strength and finally broke away, and has ever since avoided that hole in the door,
 We have in our class one who is like Napoleon He can sleep under and in- convenience imaginable. Even in reel tation his teacher often has to call him back to earth by alluding to his appear ance His name is Philip Lynch One day Philip went to sleep, and some un- kind boy. whose name I withhold by re- quest, pushed the arm on which his head was resting out from under him, which naturally caused considerable amusement; especially as Philip tried to see If he could put his face through the desk Philip is going into a busi- ness in which he expects to have all of the trade of the class of '95, namely the undertaking business. To Philip is given the credit of having thirty-nine days in August. Lynch is very bash full young man. When young lady asked him to take her to the Prom. he had to go to the undertaker's that even ing.
 I have next to deal with Oliver Beck ly. When I was writing my history | had some difficulty in getting any grinds on him, so l asked him for any on himself. Oliver said that I might put down that he was the oldest boy In the class. One day we were discussing dogs in the English class, and 1t affect ed Becky so that when the instructor asked him what the capital of Scotland was he replied: "St. Hubert's Breed"
 My next subject is very peculiar person, He has strong penchant for little girls in short dresses. His name is James Dunleary. It is said that he has given his services to the mothers of all the little girls over his way to act as their guide to High school and back One day Dunleary went into a friends house. Now his friend had just pur- chased a new piano with three pedals on it. He looked at it a minute, and then turning to his friend said, What are those three dampers on that piano for?" At another time he was walking along the street with this same friend when they came across some dahlia roots. Dunleary saw them and very in- nocently informed his friend that those were the first potatoes he ever saw with stalks on them"
 The class made a great mistake in not getting "Job" Higgins to print all and such things for them, as that is "Job's" future occupation, and the one which he is now practising. He brings such signs as Rest" Sleep" and Hired" and pins them on Philip Lynch's back. One day when the teacher had gotten through explaining the workings of the electric light "Job" raised his hand and very innocently in- | quired where they kept the electric oil. | Is not very well informed in re- 1 gard to the settlement of Pennsylvania. | He came to school one day and asked | Murphy If Penn's ancestors were pie 1 takers. Jack said he didn't know, and | he asked him why. Because" said | Job, "I have been reading lately of the | Pirates of Penz-ans and thought l | should like to know"
