EDNA RYAN

As the members of the brilliant and
famous Glass of 1909 are about to sepa-
rate and to take up other studies and
work, it is no more than right that they
should have some remembrance of this
happy year. As | have the privilege of
presenting to each this remembrance, |
hope some of them will prove useful as
well as ornamental.
1t was often necessary to assist our
school mates during the past year, and as
our President, Frances l.. Schenck, is hay
ing such difficult time in selecting a
male companion | will take great pleasure
in helping her over her difficulty and will
present her with this little man, hoping
he may be satisfactory.
The second member of the seven is our
friend Elizabeth Henderson. During the
year in our class meetings Elizabeth, bet
ter known as Beth - has done nearly all
of the talking and we have often had to
call her to order. We hope in her future
life she will be more quiet and hope this
rattle will have some effect.
The most popular and agreeable boy of
the Glass of 1909 is Wellington Thorne
Wellington is a great basketball player
and the champion of the Reliance Club
team. While playing against other teams
he has made several good throws, but he
did not sneceed in placing the ball in the
basket. | don t know whether it was be-
cause the ball was too heavy or the basket
too high. This basket and ball being
much smaller and lighter will not cause
him to be so exhausted at the end of the
game.
To our future college school mate, Mil.
bred ii. Mariarum, who enjoys sports of
all kinds, and particularly fishing. both
in the water and on the land, | present
this string of fish, so as to keep her in
mind of the fish s.
The next ease to be brought up is that
of Helen La Baw. To Helen, who
thought she might get "tueker,' will
donate a taylor's goose instead. which
might be used in pressing the suit
''Tommy Tucker, the carpenter S son,
Makes more noise than big bass
drum. -
Our friend Tucker is always blowing
either ON his cornet or about his own af
fairs and. as everyone knows, he always
blows has omn horn, | will give him this
little one SO that he will ever have it near
him, because | know the other one is too
heavy to carry around. But | advise him
not to take il to the dances, because 1t
would be "A temptation, and then If he be
gan to blow, it would awaken the sleepcrs
from their pleasant dreams.
Well. now, Edna, you have had your
fun with us, but as everybody has his
turn, just now my turn is here. You
know yen can travel with an ex-Presi
dent s namesake without the rest of the
class applauding and looking. well-some
what downeast. But, even so, we are glad
you have chosen 40 wisely. Look Edna
is hlushing. Please take this bag of flour
and put some of il ON your face.
Blushing is one of Edna s failures, es-
pecially when certain name Is men.

As / was saying, Edna has chosen
wisely. You know that it was n wonder
full thing when Andrew Johnson was
saved from impeachment by barely one
vote. That vote saved Edna IS hero, and
! will now give this ballot to her, which
in reality is the one east in favor of
Johnson and which decided the ease in
his favor. Edna, please accept this with
| my compliments. Don't forget to use
that flour, because it is guaranteed not to
spoil your complexion
