last, in spite Of the numerous teste
and stun bling blocks, has reached
the goal of every High School pupil.
When this class entered the High
School it was seen Immediately that
they possessed great ability, but
they were not proud, they were not
naughty, and treated other classes
with great foroearance, and now four
years later only the pick and shining
OF that illustrous class are here to.
night. This class consists of five
boys and fourteen lonely girls.
But all dill not originally enjoy the
benefits OF each others society. Julia
Mcclure and Fannie Chastain started
up the dizzy heights Of fame from the
primary class twelve years ago and
since that time, never knowing the
word fail, they advanced rapidly.
Julia Mcclure was born in lola and
for some time exhibited nothing more
that the ordinary brightness Of in
fants. SO far she has given no
special excuse for her existence, ex-
cept that she is o fire walker, excell-
ing all the rest of the class in this
art.
Fannie Chastain was also born here
and having been connected in school
work with Miss Mcclure for 30 long
is greatly like her, having o genial
disposition and an expansive smile.
She has done nothing remarkable,
except when she was child of IL
years to write the plot OF story,
which, as the actors did not have to
learn the words but made them up as
they went along, was no severe tax
upon her intellectual faculties.
Ora Hart was born near lola in the
dark of the moon and has never come
wholly out from under it's shadow.
She is Without q doubt the smallest
one in the class, but che greatly
make up in mental qualities what
she lacks in physical and can con-
verse fiuently on all subjects from
"what she likes to eat" to (which
is the hardest book in Virgil"
George Hawkins, born near lola,
has that thoughtful visage which al.
ways points out people that are cap.
able of making jokes and letting
other people do the laughing. When
he entered the High School four years
ago, casting aside such frivolities as
free shows and merry .go-rounds, he
plunged deeply into the mysteries of
Geometry and Literature and now
has his mind well stored with in
teresting and valuable knowledge.
Ruth Mckinney was born near
lola and is undoubtedly the thought.
FIJI one of the class. On account of
this we, the zoos, expect great things
of her. OF course being president of
the cass OF 1900 cannot help but
raise her to almost any height. AL
though she has so brilliant Il future
before her as she is of a timid dispo-
sitlon, we know she will never be
woman 's-rights advocate or run in
opposition to Mary +. Lease.
Walter Crowel being born near lola
under an unfavorable star, has had
more difficulties than the rest of the
class, but he has surmOunted these
nobly and may be OF some service to
humanity in the future. He has
confiding smile and q susceptible
nature, on which account he should
avoid girls and circus parades.
Edna Ball was born near Kansas
City, Mo-, and linked her destiny
with this class in 1896. She is not
very large but anyone to look at the
firmly compressed lips and deter
mined nose would know that she
would either be she president Of
university or matron in a young
lady's boarding school.
Leavenworth was the lucky place
where Bess Hyde was born. She

she already shows the results of the
years. association. She has a mild
deposition and an adhesive nature
and would not make good new
woman.
Daisy Thomas was born In
Blanchester, Ohio. She has very
affable nature and is quite harmless
If not aroused. All the genius Of the
class seems TO be conferred in her, as
she is the class poet. A poet! The
soul inspiring ambition Of every
school girls heart. Not another one
In the class in spite of its intellectual
attachments can ever make rhymes.
Harry Wiley was born in Wheel

moved to lola, all unconscious that
