Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-06-19

strolling up Cole street instead of down East Main.
 In keeping with the regard which
 the members of the class have al
 ways held for Hamilton park, (this includes Miss Bowes, of course). We were all present when, in the name of the class of 1907, the Jamestown elm was set in place in that delight full park, with its shady paths.
 The air was now beginning to be filled with talk of graduation, pins, notices and the like. A class meet ing was called by MT Wilby, at which he announced that Lawrence, yes, I guess it is Lawrence Phipps, stood highest in the class. He is l well deserving the honor, as he is a strong believer of the saying that Nothing worth while comes without | labor" That long to be remem- bered day came when the class off, cers filed to have their physiogno- mics placed in that souvenir which will endure until the end of time, the class book. After Mcknight had got in such position that his tie was in full view, and after Eustace had been gagged to prevent the eX- tolerance of his wit from overflow ing, the movement arrived, and it was all over.
 It may not be out of place here to mention few of the statistics of the class, expressed by popular vote.
 Popular Vote.
 To Edward Kilduff goes the palm for good looks. Edward has the good sense, not to be seriously affected by this and up to press hour" we find him in no wise changed.
 Margaret BoweS, when asked about her relatives said, Well, Venus is a cousin of mine" Beauty is hereditary, so it is not to be wondered at that Margaret is the prettiest girl in the class.
 Eunice Crane and James Mcknight are adjudged the brightest In the class. They never deign to receive a report with less than 90 on it.
 Marjorie Chapman, voted our laziest girl, is also our most popular girl. We do not think that it is dislike for exertion that brings her that title, but in trying to please juniors she finds very little time for studying.
 Benjamin Leopold is our smallest boy. But the old saying that good things come in small packages is verified here, for "Bennie'' is an adept English student that is when Mir Donovan allows him to use his im- agination which is developed to a marvellous extent.
 Of Howard Phipps and Mary Havi- can we must say:--
 "A modest blush they wear, not famed by air-Free from deceit their faces, and full as free their hearts. Those girls who admire the big and brawny athlete, the base ball hero of the hour, can turn with pride to Ronald Morse, our pest athlete. Harold Caesar also ran a close race in this contest, which shows the high esteem in which he is held.
 Those we'll acquainte with the school will remember that the board has ungraciously overlooked the fact that we have no recreation grounds, and we are obliged to congrega.e in the corridors. A favorite spot for the Misses Coughlan. Healey, Havi- can, Doran, Bowes, Seery and Tehan was at the feet of the illustrious Clio. From observation they have formed the following set of questions for which they demand answers within a week:
 Why John Fitzgerald wears such a woe-begone expression since class election. Life is short and honors are fieeting Jack.
 Why Miss Healey says she never had better time than at the Debat- ing club dance?
 Why the faculty were conspicuous for their absence at the above named dance?
 Why Miss Kenney is not satisfied with the contents of the class book. l We are sorry that her ambition was not realized.
 Why Helen Kenyon thinks there Is | DO place like Thomaston when it is | such a little spot upon the universe?
 Why Miss Seery is so particular to l We hear she intends l to take $ postgraduate course.
 Why Kilduff had so many different | suits and ties this year? He must | have been contemplating what was coming.
 When Eustaee will become mana- ! ger of the Waterbury dancing acad- ! emy? He accuses everyone of being l inflicted with the same mania that he has.
 Where the dainty morsels in Miss | desk disappear to? Miss Kenyon please explain.
 Why Miss Tehan is so indifferent to Waterbury friends ? answer that she is true to the Capitol City.
 Why Miss Reilley says Not yet, put soonT Do we get an invitation, Gertrude?
 If Miss Bowes Is really a poser?
 I am not to be called to account Tor these queries, as I am only the of the aforementioned -oung ladies.
 The committee on the motto decid- d on the following: Caste Integre- lue Vivamus" May our lives be free rom all stain. Certainly a better .hoice could not have been made. It s our wish that every member cf his graduating class will strictly fol- Ow the sentiment of our motto and hey must succeed.
 Our program is s6 long that I am lot at liberty to use much more of his valuable time. but before I bring his to an end I wish to extend to our aachers our heartfelt thanks for the indness they have displayed. their
