grand;
 Our little throng grows in temerity;
 Minds are filled with wisdom; brains
 expand
 And sprlngtime gladdens all the earth again
 With bird songs and bright blossoms as before;
 As three long years have passed away since then,
 But now it all comes back to us once more.
 The further progress through school life is delightfully."- depicted. The poem closes:
 In after years whatever life may bring
 To each of us, of gladness or of pain, As swift the season rolls, each coming spring
 Shall call those happy visions back
 again.
 Of the spring time glad and merry
 when we met;
 Of the spring times glad that lead us
 still more high;
 VI lllC 5PA HI D StAAAN WV NNA- AA NA forget;
 Of the saddest springtime when we
 said Good bye.''
 The class then sang musical selec- ton entitled "Lo! the Morn on the Mountain is Breaking" which was rem dered in a most excellent ~nanner
 The history of Mabel Gertrude Phelps followed and was listened to with great interest. It was in part as follows:
 WHAT MISS PHELPS SAID.
 All orthodox histories, whether class histories, or histories of the great events of nations have introductions, but it hardly seems as if an introduction were necessary to the history of this group of girls. These girls have an established reputation in old Hinhouse of being the most amiable, the most studious, and the most intelligent girls in the whole school.
 Whenever teachers or scholars think of this remarkable division, a vision is sure to come to them of that renowned trio, Miss Neebe, Miss Coe, and Miss Purdue.
 Miss Emile Neebe has been the cyno- sure of all eyes throughout our career. In proof of this I will cite one little instance. At one of our school teas sev- eral of Us girls were introduced to one of the boys who joined our class in the senior year. He gracefully acknowI- edged all of the presentations, but when Miss Neebe was introduced he blandly remarked that he didn't remember as he had seen any of the other young ladies before, but that he had noticed Miss Neebe so many times
 As you look at Emilie's commanding form and lofty brow you would never dream that she could feel fear. But let me tell you, she is an arrant coward When she was in the lower classes she used to wear her hair drawn smoothly back from her forehead, and although fashion, decreed that a bang must be worn, the decree had also gone forth that Emile should not wear one. Now, Emilie did not like that; she wanted to be in style as the rest of the girls were, so one day she went over to Miss Goes home and cut her golden locks. After the deed was done, and she surveyed her altered appearance in the mirror she wildly exclaimed. My hair! My hair! What shall I do? Oh, am sol afraid to go home!'
 Rollicking Susie Coe! Who does not know her? Who has not at least heard of her? Who in the senior class has not heard her giggle and chatter? Every day from 8:30 until Land sometimes later-we heard the incessant rattle and chatter of her industrious little tongue. Susie will be a ventriloquist some day; she has practiced until even now she can neigh like horse and cackle like a hen when she giggles. Every one appreci- ates the remarkable development of her tongue. When we were studying that organ in our physiology class she, as the one best qualified, was called upon to explain it. She glibly told us that it was very muscular, movable and high ly elastic organ, and we believed every word, requiring no further proofs and than she herself had daily given us.
 Miss Coe and Miss Neebe have been firm friends ever since they were scrub l lets Tn all that time they have had only one quarrel, which lasted for the 1 extremely long period of 600 seconds; | so it must be that although Susie exer- cises her tongue so vigorously, she does l It good-naturedly
 Miss Maude Purdue is the most digni l lied member of the trio. She expects to ! be a teacher some day, so she probably l thinks that dignity is necessary. She all occasions for acquiring per lection in the ins and outs of her future l Once when she was called ! upon to explain why she had not hand | ed in an English exercise she startled | IS all by sternly saying, q will see you after school" Even our teacher was l moved by the pedagogic tone of this em- oryo school mistress.
 But please don't for a moment think | that Maude never unbeAds. She cer- -ainIy does, for we have been told by | the best of authority that she is very | well Versed in the art of winking; she ] even understands the winking of the | finger, which is surely very undigni- fed.
 Miss Theresa Marie Peck, or, as we girls more affectionately call her, Tessie ! oeckie, came to us from the Middletown nigh school bringing with her all the customs and practices of that strange a Al I
