place vacated by Keith Brown. 1t was
also in that year that we bought our first
class pins. Things moved along very
lively during that time, because 1907 was
in power, and when 1907 was at the front
things had to go.
There is one thing of which we must
speak, that was discussed at great length
on 1907 s class day, namely, the baseball
game which we all attended that year
The members of 1907 thought they would
disturb our equanimity, by pinning their
colors, Purple and White, ON the boys in
our class. Their class flag was already
| flying from the flag staff in the diamond,
| This we did not object to, but when our
boys started to parade around wearing
the Purple and White our class spirit
was aroused All we shall say is that
before we went home the girls of 1909
| were in possession of several nice pieces
of Purple and White ribbon; while some
of the girls of 1907 were mourning the
loss of their share of ribbon from their
Arbor Day tree. These souvenirs are still
in the possession of the girls of 1909.
In March, 1907, Miss Sanford came to
I.ambertville and all of our class began
Latin. One by one we have fallen before
| the foe, until now there are only four
who have survived the ARRAY, and enc of
! those has been severely wounded. Three
of our members have taken the work of
three years in two years and twelve weeks.
At the beginning of our SubSenior
| year. MIR. Boutwell, came to Lambertvillc
as Supervising Principal. Under his
leadership the schools have made rapid
progress in every line.
While 1908 was in power things went
along slowly, as this class lacked class
| spirit and enthusiasm 1909 could have
| had everything her own way, but she
| would not impose upon such weak little
| class. All those who were here last June
remember the symbol of the Class of 1908
IA cabbage head containing six lemons.
Near the close of our SubSenior year
we chose our class flower. We decided
upon the beautiful American Beauty rose,
and it well symbolzes the Glass of 1909.
| At last we come to our Senior year. AL
though it has contained much hard work,
it has also given us many pleasures. Dur
ing this year we have sadly missed Miss
Lodor. She was highly esteemed by
every member of 1902 Miss Orwig was
also missed, rs she was always ready to
help us over all rough places. We have
enjoyed many Senior privileges, which
were wiied to us by 1908, if we could
find them. We have found them aud are
sorry for 1908 that she did not have the
ambition TO look for and claim them.
| Our class has always been a bright, in.
| telligent class. One teacher said that in
some classes one could choose one or two
who were bright and We're sure to win
honor, but in the Class of 1909 all were
bright and one could not tell until the
last on whom the honors would fall
| The Glass of 1909 has always been
liberal When Miss Barkley left in No
vember, 1907, besides contributing to the
gift from the school, we gave an indi.
vidual present. as Miss Barkley had al
WAYS been a favorite of 1902
When we returned to school in January
after our Christmas vacation we missed
Miss Butterfeld, who had been good
friend to all the pupils Miss Tuthill
was there in her place, and we have found
in her an able teacher and friend.
While speaking of our teachers, we shall
speak of our principal Miss Stout. The
Glass of 1909 has always found in her NJ
able adviser and one who has the inter
ests of both the class and school nj heart
Neither must we forget Mr.. Lowe, who
always has a pleasant greeting for eaci
one
1909 will shine in the history of tn,
Lambertvile High School for three rea
sons: First, because she was the class to
organize the Girls Athletic Association
1t was 1909 who called the girls together
and who has urged them on in all their
sports. We hope that the coming classes
| will carry on the work which we have
started 20 well. Second. because she
started the Alumni of the Lambertville
Uigh School. II was 1909 who decided to
organize. who invited the old graduates to
come together. and who encouraged the
work When the Alumni hold their wear.
" banonets the name of 1909 will be held
in reverence. Third, because she was the
first class to have class paper Under
Miss Sanford Is supervision, 1.-THE Senior
.Junebugn was published. We hope the
| future classes will follow in our steps in
this direction, as it gives the people an
opportunity to know something of what
| is being done in the schools.
On account of some of our number eav-
| ing school near the close of Sub Senior
year. several new officers we're elected
| These officers are still serving; they are :
President, Frances l.. Schenck; Vice
President, Mildred II. Marjarum; Secre-
tary. Helen La Baw; Treasurer. Edna G.
Ryan.
Many of the classes which have grdau-
ated before have told you, on Glass Day,
| how well their motto worked: but they
did not mention when the motto was
chosen. I'm most eases it was when
they made out their program for
Class Day. OF course Il worked
well for the next two weeks. With
