deepest gratitude, hoping that as the
years roll on he may look back on the
work he has done with entire satisfac-
ton. May the number of students
increase while the list of culprits
diminishes. We will take this oppor-
tunity to thank Mr.. Briggs who has
aided us to straighten out our many
to him, also, the remembranees OF the
strange definitions and proofs given by
this class. To him, too, the parallelopi-
peds, neutrality-suspicious., prisms,
spheres, cylinders, and all other geo
metrical figures and solids. With these
we sincerely extend our best wishes for
health wealth and happiness.
To the teachers of Algebra and Ger
man, we leave the memory of our
recitations, the queer definitions, con-
iugations, and declensions. We are
grateful to these teachers for the aid
they have given us in laying the foun-
dation of those studies, and we wish to
say that they are to be congratulated
for we still remember our algebra and
never intend to forget our German.
Our English and Latin teachers, too,
have earned their reward, for the toll
done in our behalf, so the best wishes
of this class, for we have not much else
to give, go with them in their future
work
We give and bequeath to our COM
mercial teacher, the hope that those
who are to take up that line of work
may always be prepared to recite the
fundamental rules and give words IL
Illustrating them. Also, that they will
get their work in on time that she may
not be over laden at the end of the
school year. We hope that those who
go out into the business world may
make such record that she will be
proud of them, thus encouraging her in
this work, for we feel that then she will
be satisfied and amply repaid.
10 Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Scholes we
bequeath the athletic honors for with
out them as guides and trainers to de-
velop the physical side of our boys no
good result would have been obtained
To tie latter, this illustrious class of
physics and chemistry, leave the
numberless, complicated and malo6or-
Gus compounds, as these will remind
him of the time we prepared hydrogen
sulphide, or mixed iron solutions with
hydrochloric acid, and with these go
the entangled apparatus.
To Miss Rogers, we bequeath the
echoes of our voices in the recitation
rooms and from this platform. Also
much of the credit that goes to the
school through defamation and ora
torical contests, for her work and per-
severence have aided in this respect
greatly as results have shown.
Having bestowed what little we could
upon the staff of teachers, we viii pro-
coed to our classmates. To the Fresh
men and Sophomores we will tender
some sound advice. Do your work
well, and never be imposed upon or
amused by the upper classmen. Be
modest, also, and act as fourteen or
fifteen year old boys and girls should.
Don't wear cady or derby, or do your
hair up Attend school regularly, al
ways doing your duty, and by copying
the preceding classes your work will be
done thoughtfully even though success
is not always your reward. Do not
waste your time by taking up your pens
and drawing little men; if draw you
must let it be minus and plus.
AS the nearest relatives always ex-
pect and are entitled to more than those
more distant, at the reading of the will
of a departed kin, SO, no doubt, the
Juniors are patiently waiting to receive
their share.
We give and bequeath to our much
q.
the wise looks, dignified bearing and
sedate ways of the learned seniors who
are about to leave them. Together with
this the accuracy in scholarship linked
with our great wisdom, hoping that no
blot or blur will ever be brought to bear
on it. Then, too, we give them full
possession of the west wing of the
assembly hall, including our desks and
lockers. Along with this we will add
the reference books, in order that you
may develop keen intellect and brain
power by looking tor some hidden ref
erence. For those who are to take u.
s. history we will make special mention
of Rhodes III and LII, as you will no
doubt all want these books at the same
time especially the period just before
the recitation. In the pentathalon
meets and other athletic sports, the
seniors have been the ruling and win
ming factor. We now pass and leave to
the juniors successes in foot ball games,
pentathalon meets and field meets,
which could otherwise never be ac-
complished. Likewise in the contests,
both declamatory and oratorical we
make way for our followers and wish
and hope that their classes will uphold
the school by winning laurels.
To our superintendent and school in
general we bequeath all the love and
blessings they may want, also, our re-
nowned class poem, a copy of which we
hope will be handed down from year to
year as an example, in sentiment, rhyme
and meter, thereby serving as model.
We leave the school as we entered,
humble and quaint, and we appoint our
principal as sole executor of this will
who after our debts are paid will APP
portion our last possessions. Then we,
as the makers of this, will depart, hop
ing not to be forgotten, and in witness
whereof we have hereunto set our hand
and affix the great seal of the seniors
this, the 9TH day of June, 1906.
The boys quartette, composed of
Frank Okoneski, Frank S. Osen, Mark
Scholfield and Ernest Tilgner, won the
hearts of the audience oy tt cir excellent
rendition of the selection, Goodbye,
Lovely Year" They sang unaccom-
panied and their voices blended SPLEEN
didly Although their selection was
most heartily applauded, they did not
respond to an encore on account of the
lateness of the hour.
During the singing of the quartette the
graduates formed on the stage behind
the curtain. At the end of the selection
the curtain rose and Miss Rowena
Arthur stepped upon the rostrum and
standing at the left, delivered the vale
dictory to the renowned class of 1906
She had written splendid poem, and
recited it from memory with great
force. The PILOT is proud of the worthy
valedictorian of the class of '06 and
publishes her magnificent work with
the greatest of pleasure:
