ton here. that there are others Of my
class who have received excellent train
ing in this same schOol-and for the
past four years | have observed close
ly the failings of my classmates.
There is n young man in our class
who attracts much attention by his
close resemblance to Samson OF Bible
fame whose strength all depended on
the quantity of his hair. Mr.. Ray Full
Ter, although your hair is always We'll
kept, the members Of the class OF 1907
feel that unless you get "a cut soon
er or later, your strength Will excel that
of Nigus, the star pitcher of the Sec
ond team, and to save you any cmbar-
rassment l have made up purse OF
% cents with which you may make the
much needed repairs and improve

An amusing feature of all our class
meetings and other good times, has
been Miss Ruby Sherman's fondness for
"sweet elder" On all occasions graced
by your presence, Miss Sherman,
sweet cider is always in evidence.
Now that your school days in Hallowell
are Ger and to keep you from being
lonely III the future, present you with
a bottle of this harmless beverage.
OF course you have all heard OF Mr..
T. B. Smart and Prof. o. How Wise.
We have in the class of 1907 a gentle
man who is as clear and level-headed
as either Of those persOnages, Mr.. Har-
old Wood. As you have already been
through the dictionary, Mother Goose
and other books of lore, 1 take pleasure
in presenting you a new edition Of
"Rook on General knowledge" COM
posed and written especially for you
by a friend and classmate, Miss john
son. This book contains many valuable
receipts, among them being How to
make n Pongee Dress for $1.9S," and
How to make ice cream out of potato
parings."
I have here a very useful article, a
potato masher. Miss Hayes has always
been connected III different ways with
Washers. 1 can't say that they We're all
potato Washers, but in order that she
may feel at home now that she is about
to leave school, I feel it my special
duty to help and prepare her for the
future.
Every class that has graduated from
our school has had its bashful youth
or maiden who in all class meetings or
discussions. although having many
worthy ideas on the subject in question, |
has been hindered from fatal shyness
or mOdesty from voicing his or her
opinions. We do not know what weighty
wisdom and wise advice has been lost |
to our class through the retiring ma
ture of one of our members. This per-
son to whom 1 refer has never as yet |

any of the fond projects Of the class i
There 10 an old proverb, Mr.. Skilins |
that unless you blow your horn no one |
will blow it for you" The modern adap- !
tation is: Unless you crow for yourself
no one will crow for you. AS 1 know
you could never be persuaded to stand
UP for your rights I present you with
this thorough bred rooster, whose clari-
on notes may be heard where your fee

Miss Lynn, it is to be lamented that

your part of the town, that is, to all APP

with the following friendly advice: Put

My dear brother, Charles. 1 have here
something which has taken me a long
time to manufacture. and which I hope
to obtain a patent on. These footpads
were made expressly for you, that the
members of your household may not

Among other celebrities the class of
1907 has very literary member in the
person of Miss Dixon. We are sorry to
say, however, that her literary taste
seems to run in one particular direc-
ton, and on those evenings when she
burns the midnight oil we know that
she is listening to stories of King Ar
thur. Books of that nature must grow
wearisome after a time, Myrtle. 90 T
now present you with a book of much
lighter vein that you may not feel lone
some when separated from your Arthur

1t has been rumored that our class
mate, Mr.. Vigus, has been working
out for a pitcher. I have closely OBJ
served him for the past few weeks and
up to the present time have not decided
whether he intends to become a water
pitcher or a baseball pitcher. After
much time and trouble I have secured
fair and impartial likeness of him
when he is in training, and there is not
a doubt in the minds Of his friends and
classmates but he will be capable of
Filling any position in the sporting field.
Miss Farley, your close application to
study during the past four years and
| the high rank you have attained. en-
titles you to the degree of strenuous
Schoolmarm." therefore present you
with this hard pine single with direc-
lions to use as many times as neces-
sary until the patient is fully cured.
