To me has been assigned the pleas

mates certain mementoes which, [

purpose by bringing wildly 10 mind
some of the characteristics of the
members of this class of 1911, as well
as the good times We have had dur
ing our High school life
, Among the members of this glori-
Gus class. is one who is very fond of
nature, especially the trees and
shrubs. But of all the varieties there
is one that appears the most beauti
/ full and to this her affection is turned.

times that Il BGsh has given you.

We have Gin our class a most
talented musician. Not only has this
young lady mastered singing, but
she is also rapidly eonqueriag the
piano. We need not be surprised to
hear some day of her as leading in
: structor in the best conservatory i'm
the country To accomplish this will
require time and practice so in pre-
sentipg You, Miss Curricr, with this
massive piano, | earnestly wish it
will be of assistance to you. | hope
that after strenuous practice YOU will
be able to play in harmony with each
of the notes you sing So during
spare time play away and your future
career is assured.
one of the young ladies i'll this
class for the past two years has been
very much interested in the Lives of
Great Men, But Of all the histories
that exist one has become the great

Great" In her mind a Frederic is
rightly named the Great The name,
itself, she honors and adores; so
also the person. | have for you. Miss
Tiiden, short history of this Won
derful man and | expect when you

to come. Keep this book in your
library and wher tired or weary. get
it and read. | am sure it will make
yeu cheerful and gay.
Another one of our young ladies is
| known somewhat for her athletic
ability. 1t is quite uncommon to see a
girl throw ball, run. jump and per
form other feats almost as well as the
| average boy.
But | am proud to say we have a
girl who can do these things better
than many boys. Need | tell you that
| some day she will be a physical in
structor in some large woman's col

| recipient of a pair of dumb bells Now
let us hope that for an hour or so
each day we will hear of you exercis-
ing your muscles preparing yourself
for the tolls and cares of life to come.

| With the greatest of pleasure | pre-
sent to you. Miss Nye this paintin,
outfit. Most of us know what it sig
nfes, and the least you can do is to
cause it to be used by one who knows
how.
| As IN many classes, there Is in ours
one member VINO is noted for her calm
and peaceful disposition. During our
hot debates in class meetings her tenn
per was seldom aroused. but she sim

thought best About the schoolroom
the same characteristic was shown,
nothing was too hard to try, and al
though her school work perhaps, has
been sometimes tiresome, and what ap-
pnared to us difficult, yet she is with
us today. | take great pleasure in pre-
