intellectually was offered by
members of the Alumni
Miss Matte Fruit the Presi-
dent of the Alumni Association
was also Toast Mistress. In a
. few we'll chosen words, she s,wel-
: coined the class of 1907 to the
+. ranks of the Alumni. The
response was given bv Mr. Will
Charles. His was a masterpiece
of thoughts of human sympathy
and pleasure.
Nearly all of the classes that
have graduated from the High
School gave a response. Miss
Florence Poole responded for the
class of 'SS. She was the only
member of the class. She gave
some "reminiscences, of her class.
1t was a class composed entirely
of girls. These girls we're so en-
tirely harmonious and of one
mind that they not only too their
joys and sorrows and recreations
as one, but had always remained
fast friends and have even chosen
the identical avocation in life.
She said that from such beginn-
ings, behold the large and brill.
ant assembly. Is it not par.

The elias S of '89 was not repre-
sented, Mrs. Jettie Russell
responded for the class of go.

a sorrow, to see it torn away a

in that time. Looking backward
it has proven only long enough
for a modest start in our life

life" was our motto, and while
we did lot have a particularly
brilliant class, we have had nc
dismal failures in life and | think
We have all tried to follow Ed 7.
Barber's oft repeated advice,
BE somebody; do something"
The class of 1913 was represented
by Miss Ella Vollmer who well
coined the new class royalty.
Then Miss Lilah Smith said on
behalf of the class of '99, How
pleasant it is to recall the many
trolics we had, sometimes at the
proper time and just as often dur
ing study hour. As most seniors
do. we felt that we were able to
conquer the whole world with
very little difficulty. However
dare say that we have all over
come such ideas and have at last
begun to realize our class motto,
From possibility to reality"
The class of 1900 was not repre-.
Sented. Miss Helene Connect of
the class of the naughty ones"
spoke feelingly of life's oppor-
tunlties. She spoke of the pleas
ure of knowing that something
had been done we'll; of the sorrow
that comes in knowing that op-
portunities had slipped by US un.

Miss Lee and Miss Margaret
Osmond of the classes of 'O2 ard
'O3 welcomed the class of 1907.
The class Of 'O4 responded in the
person of Miss ZoeChapman who
said The class of 1904 was not
especially noted for its briIIiancy
or wit; but what we lacked in
numbers, we made uD in size;
what we lacked in brilliancy. we
made up in steady Flooding until
We achieved our purpose. What
we lacked in wit, we borrowed
from Bill Nye or the almanac. 1t
was a remarkable class from the
fact that the boys outnunbered
the girls.
Miss Anna Sutherland said that
the class of 1905 we're all girls
and possessed the remarkable vir-
ture of knowing how to stop talk
ing in time for the teacher to as
sign the next lesson.
The class of 1906 did not make
a reponse. Miss Blanche Ham
mond recited the class poem for
the class of 1907.

ported to Sheriff Hammel yesterday that

dressed stranger, who asked him II ne
wouldn't drive him to town, as he had
left his purse in his office and was in a
hurry to reach the city.

nearby saloon to have social drink
His invitation was accepted. The two
went into the saloon and quenched their
thirst. Then the stranger disappeared.

for moment, suspected nothing. Later,
when the chance acquaintance still failed
to return, he stepped from the saloon
only to find his horse and buggy gone. A
lad on the sidewalk told him that the
man with whom he had entered the sa-
loon had driven the buggy away.
Clegg offers $25 reward to any one who
will tell him of the whereabouts Of his
