to enable people to see what they are saying, and, last, but by no means least, he showed us a machine which very much resembled a coffee mill and which he claimed would remove all difficulty in studying for examinations.
 My friend was so absorbed and de- lighted in studying his character that he had omitted to introduce me, and l was becoming more and more puzzled as to who the inventor really was, feel ing sure 1 had seen him somewhere. He was engaged in explaining the working of his lemonade machine when we were interrupted by the entrance of a little boy whose chubby face was a living advertisement of Pears soap.'
 He responded to the illustrious name of Geo. which the inventor told us was his ingenious abreviation of his little sons name, George"
 As soon as the little boy with the shining face entered and I knew he was the inventors son, there was no longer any doubt in my mind as to who my friends'S strange character was. I re- called the initials on the drawings; it immediately occurred to me that the tune he had been humming was actual ly our beloved class song which he had evidently never forgotten. The little boy seemed to walk right out of the past and I knew our talented inventor was no other than our would-be prophet. Charles Balfe Jackson, class of 1902, Waterbury High school.

Just at this moment loud buzzing noise was heard and Culhane suddenly Jumped up and ran upstairs as though his life depended upon his ability to reach the top. In lew moments we heard him coming down, but as soon as he reached us the same noise was heard again and he repeated his race horse act. When he returned he told us that the wireless telegraph instru- ment on the roof had been calling his attention. The first message was from Miss Dickson, who was now q gov erness in the family of the czar of Rus sia.
 The second came from Miss Vaill, who held the high post of stenographer to the president of France.
 The evening passed off very pleasant ly after this. Miss M H. Mcdonald and Miss Post came in, quickly fol- lowed by Miss McKennerney and Miss Mullings. They apologized for their taridness, saying that they all owned lunch carts in various parts of the city and for that reason 1t was impossible to come any sooner.
 The evening passed off in very de- lightful manner, and the hours flew so rapidly that the time to depart came all too soon. Fruin had engaged rooms at hotel and thither we decided to walk As we were going along dark street we heard the sounds of quarrel going on. We stopped to listen and as we did so we caught sight of our two former classmates, Benjamin Henry Fairbrother and Benjamin Webster, fighting for all they were worth. When we reached them and found what the cause of the fight was, we were nearly convulsed with laughter. Fairbrother contended that an egg was of greater value than a chicken because it was from the egg that the chicken was matched. Webster, on the other hand. claimed that the honor of superiority should be given to the chicken because the chicken laid the egg. And with that they started to punch each other once more. I rushed ill and endeavored to separate them. Webster aimed a vicious blow at Fairbrother, but it caught me on the point of the chin. I felt myself sinking down until sudden | ly I landed with a terrific crash just in time to hear a familiar voice say. You had better wake up if you intend to get to school today"

PRESENTATION ADDRESS.
 lTObD T RIiftarIxy

It was wise custom among the Greeks and Romans to erect statues of their heroes i'll public places that their youth in contemplating these statues might be inspired to emulate the noble examples thus placed before them. The example set by these peoples has not been lost on modern civilization All the great nations of the present time have the gratitude of thus remembering their dead.
 Nor is this practice confined to great nations and societies renowned in his tory. Many of the high schools of this country have taken up this method of presentation and memorial. This high school is among the number. Around us today are presents of this kind made hy former classes. The Goddess of Wisdom having done good work for the class of 1900. was re- membered nobly by that famous ag- gregation of beauty and talent. now she silently watches over the first cor ridOr and is seen sometimes to smile Knowingly when the would-be wise pass by Caesar and Shakespeare, Homer and Cicero. the immortal favor ties of the Muses. have come back from the silence beyond the misty Stygian sea and think their great thoughts in the twilight of the same corridor.
 Profiting by commendable example. we, the class of 1902, have the honor of presenting to our Alma Mater the statue of Clio, the muse of history. She is reputed to be the daughter of l Jupiter and Mueme. She appears in a sitting attitude with an open scroll and her duty to celebrate the glorious actions of the brave and honorable What fitting cast it is then to place 1 before the gaze of the many students who shall hereafter pursue their studies in this institution. And as they pass to and fro in the corridors may l they reflect on the trials of character 1 for which Clio, the most beautiful of l the nine muses is famed

ACCEPTANCE OF STATUE. Lloyd Wehstar. in hahoIf of tha Ty1niol

Q.loyd Webster in behalf of the Junior
 class.)
 MT President of the Class of 1902.
 1 have been appointed by the princi- pal to accept. in the name of the school, this tribute from the class of 1902. It is task which comprises within itsself much that is unpleasant. This is truly beautiful memorial. and we are in- deed fortunate in obtaining it, but while we are thus favored we at the same time cannot help but realize that we are about to suffer the great mis- fortune of losing one of the best classes that our school has ever known
 This is the second statue that has been presented to the school. It is the second but it shall not be the last No. let us rather hope that the classes hcre- after will follow the good example set them by the classes of 1900 and 1902 until the High school is adorned with so many works of art as to rival the Metropolitan museum.
 Let us hope, as you have said, thax ''this statue of Clio will be an incentive to the study of history, and to lofticr' appreciation of all that is good in art'h And trust that in after years, as tho classes to come look upon this beauti- ful gift, they will think not of it's beauty alone. but also of the class that gave it. so that the memory of that class will be always with us.
 And now. i'll the name Of the pupils of this school in the name of the dis- fereEt classes, Il the na,nc or the priIi- cipal and teachers, ali of whom we know feel deep interest ia our well fare. accept the gift of this statue as a token Of esteem which the class of 1902 bears for it's Alma Mater, and I asure you that that class shall not lack for friends so long as the Waterbury High school remains in existence.

 when we shall have been gathered to our fathers! He kept faith with his class motto; he fought the good fghts and all who knew him hold his name in veneration.
 In the name of the class of 1902 | present this statue to our Alma Mater in hope that it may prove an incentive to the study of history and of all that is beautiful in art.

 Make acorn-oak with quick electric thought Marry fair now to swart futurity? Nay, not in all detail can we foreknow What fate shall bring to us of joy or woe;
 But the great law is hidden in these words: Effect the plant. from the soil, cause, must grow. If straight the twig straight, too, shall The seed of fickleness ne'er grows to constancy; Who plants dishonor in the loom of youth Shall reap dishonor in eternity. The seed is sown, we can foretell the
 grain That we shall harvest, whether shine

 Tn due proportion shall be sent to us Ere our life's summer shall to autumn Wane. Yea, in our fields tall lusty corn shall grow, Malgre the tares the enemy may sow, If in our heart and brain we burn the words Hand clasped in hand, let life and
 honor go. Nor pest nor draught shall hurt the
 growing blade. For He who gives the sunlight and the shade

 world away The throng dissolves and void is every seat Soft silence listens to the noisy street. And in my aching heart still voice cries, Never on earth again shall we all

 Never again on earth, then goodbye all. Teachers and friends-we hear the summers call Goodbye. fond goodbye, long
 farewell, But we shall meet beyond the starry
