BENJAMIN Austin Gooch of Var

great difficulties in ascertaining the
future occupations of his classmates OF
the mems division. He tried every
conceivable method. and was finally
reduced to the alternative of descend
ing to the depths below. There on the
borders of the dread river Styx he
found the major number of his class
mates some of them without the price
with which to bride old Charon for the
trip across. The ways in which Mr..
Gooch disposed of his classmates were
amusing and interesting.
Martha Anna Boynton of Skowhegan,
the prophet of the Woman's division,
took a unique and pleasing method of
looking into the future. She started q

And the hours have quickly sped

Now the summer wind is signing,
And the river whispers low.
And the river whispers low.
While the last sad hours are flying
Soon from Colby we must go.

Still her praises there repeat,
Sounding on the summer ar.

Yet our hearts beat warm ana true
