 'life Is but a sweet, sweet dream"
 My classmates will now introduce to you, and just remember when l have made you acquainted with these august CD persons you know some of the brilliant CD class of 1908. I only regret that time will not allow me to introduce you to all. for they are, one and all brilliant and loving classmates.
 The president of the class, and, the most popular boy, Harold Mabbott, besides having very fine voice, ex- cells most of his classmates In speak ing German with the girls lnd mak- ing chocolate cake with mamma. He has the peculiar ability of smiling and laughing at any time or on any occasion. His popularity among the girls at Crosby won for him his posi- ton here to-day. yet this fact does not keep his mind from those of Simsbury, Hartford. Bridgeport and numerous other cities. His next home will be in Massachusetts Tech nology school, where we hope his loud laugh and his winning way will help him as 1t has thus far III life.
 Alice Hutchinson, our valedic- torian, has not missed single mo- ment of school time during her ca reer at Crosby. But she has success fully pretended to be bashful, espe- cially in class, but before school she has glibly talked with girls, and boys, too. Now, don't stare at Alice; they were only the other members of the Greek class. Won't Alice be lonesome next year?
 Willie Phelan, our treasurer, has always been a reliable friend and a jolly good fellow. His aim is to take life easy and to enjoy it in every possible way.
 Well, Ruth Buck, our salutatorian and most sedate girl. wouldn't give anyone the chance to say single thing about her and had behaved al- most perfectly throughout her four years. But then you can't expect me to know what she has been saving to Charlie Larkin, our tallest boy, late- ly. All know is that she wouldn't whisper during algebra class for fear of disturbing her esteemed teacher, so the chats before and after school were indulged in. Ruth's next home will be in MouAt Holyoke--Charlie's, S, Yale.
 Now you surely desire to make the acquaintance of the smiling young lady whom we have chosen as vice. president. Lillian Adams, besides being the most popular girl among her classmates, is fagorite even among her relatives. She belongs to the smiling three" of which Ethel member. who laughs with Lillian at the witty remarks of the third party, Helene Cross. Ethel is the beauty of our class. The three are apt pupils. Besides Helene has the reputation of being the wittiest girl of our" class and the girl athlete" of our school. Her favorite pastime. This last year she practiced during the fourth period with the window rod as her vaulting pole, until one day she leaped to the astonishing height of four and two-fifteenth inches. That was the reason she could not speak above a whisper when ques- toned during the fifth period--fear of working too hard. .yon know.
 Leslie Brown, our smartest boy. has made an excellent beginning t,- wards accomplishing such work as becoming a linguist usually involves. His English especially has been . success. for he has new pronuncia- ton for because" He says be cuz."
 Our secretary is Edna Packard, distinguished by her pretty golden hair. She is very strong advocate of woman suffrage" and the most talkatiye girl here. If you doubt It
