 WHAT MISS GRIGGs SAID.
 History of H. H. S 95
 Officers and Classical Girls:
 After delving for three weary months in the archives of history-namely the grind box in the corner of No. 10-the following authentic and fabulously truthful volume has been compiled, needless to say the subjects dealt with are far superior to all the Caesars or Solomons of renown, for my victims have one great advantage over the mile stones of history, for the latter never belonged to the class of '95 at Hill house Everything has been standing up for ninety-five this spring, even the thermometer; which does not go to prove that we are a class apt to become heated on all occasions. On the con- trary we are the most dignified class ever known to exist; yes, and the most accomplished. And among these tal- ented lights our blushing president Charles Frederic Williams, Is found, Just watch him blush now. If anyone doubts his ability in that line. This gift has proved quite a useful one dur ing the winter, for one dark day it would have been necessary to light the gas in French recitation had not Williams and his blush entered the room, which so lighted up the spot that the board of education was spared the expense of an immense gas bill. Then Mir. Williams can sing; sing like a lark, people say, or, in other words, it Is lark to hear him sing. But the public will have the pleasure of hear ing this wonderful warbler. for he is the class bass, and sings in the quar- tet as if "On Golden Wings"
 He who Is noted for his modesty, whose election as valedictorian was followed by such repeated applause, who edits the class book and won't tell who has been voted the most popular as well as handsomest boy, and who sits on the platform at the present moment as secretary, is John Leo Gilson, His smile Is bewitchingly Gilsonic, and is always to be seen in all it's grandeur, including the present moment MT Gilson likes to chase the Orange street stage and walk through snow banks when he has on patent leather shoes. He also likes to go into country churches to recover lost wells, and once when he tried this the somewhat err ratio minister grasped his hand and wanted to introduce him to the whole so great were his charms But he declined, and vanished from the spot, and was so upset by the encoun- ter that he could not eat any chocolate sake for dinner.
 We have a marvel in '95, a creation all the art from Raphael to Du Maurier for Gin the words of Miss Rose Sophronla Singley), "he dotes on lrt; he writes plays of such touching nature that they could draw tears from he eye of needle, and his elocutlonary powers are so great that cold shivers 'un up and down ones spinal column when he reads the witch scene from Macbeth In fact The elements (are) 10 mixed in him that nature might l tand up and say to all the world: l This is Starkweather-clas treasure | md class treasurer. He likes to jingle | he money of '95 very much, and does so l whenever he has a chance One thing | or which this genius has a weakness | $ cats, and 1t is doubtless because he | S himself so kittenish. He was taking | girl home from tea not long ago, l nd they met cat, which greatly inter sted the artistic William, but they to to reach the girls house without meeting with any other catas- rophe But we must leave Stark Ieather with his numerous attractions, pr the classical girls demand atten- lon.
 Least in size, but by no means last, omes Miss Edgett, Ora Edgett She Is he Annie Laurie of Hillhouse for "her oice is low and sweet and her face
 is the fairest that e'er the sun shone n, and for young Ora Edgett we all ope the Harvard scholarship is wait lg in New York.
 Others mentioned in her history were ouisa Allen, Elizabeth Mary Cham erlain, Clara Adams, Gertrude Roise abel Sherman, Florence Bridget, Adele -erwin, Ella Plumb.
 The history of Walter John Walsh as the next number on the program nd was one of the best histories of le afternoon. It was as follows: ISTORY or CLASSICAL BOYS, BY
