dividing of the ways; some Of our
class took the Latin course. and
others the science. In the former we :
listened to the orations Of Cicero
against Catiline. but before these
orations were half finished two Of our
members got tired of ms manner Of
speech and left the rest OF the class
TO finish the trial
The science course which included
physics was taken by the boys: the
girls being a little timid in mathe-
mates, had the misfortune to miss its
intricaeies-
Senior year enlisted our last MEM
Der, Dorothy Schneider, and thus IN
creased our regiment to It's final num-
ber-eleven. She, like All others who
jump right into the high school, had to
go off to preparatory school 70 meet
the high standards of our class, the
class of 1915.
We read in Caesar, "All Gaul IS d.
vided into three parts Perhaps this
gave rs our inspiration for the divis-
ion of our class into three parts, In
order that we might acquire all in
formation as a class, since individual
ly that was impossible. Some Of us
branched into the physiological
course; others held true to the clas-
steal, and the rest to domestic art
and science.
Senior year also found rs IN the
new high school building. and when
the workman left we found castle In
his place. Professor Cassels soon won
our friendship and we prospered this
year as we had in the preceding ones
Professor Cassels once said that
our characters were told BY the writ
| ings on our books, 50 I at once pro-
ceeded to borrow those Of my class
mates.
Ruby Cappleman, better known as
Cap" was the first victim On the
first page was drawn little farm
house. So poor Ruby must have
been homesick, for she is the only fair
country maiden of the class
The next book that fell into my
hands was Susie's. but sad TO be told,
Susie has no character for there were
no scratches to be found.
The next / am little afraid to re-
port on, but since ! have already
started / shall take the risk. Alfred
MacKay's book was like . miniature
art gallery. The pictures which came
more frequent than the rest were lit
tie hearts and Cupids; 50 the poor
child must be in love. The girl who
has captured our Alfred has won q
youth as sweet and stirring as -
fudge spoon and one who has dainty
pink complexion like . picture On
, Christmas calendar.
, The next was Olivia TofaIeti's, but
to my surprise on the first page I saw
picture of a grave with this in
scription on it: aHere lies the body Of
my dear-cat Tabby, died July 9TH,
1906" Now, this has solved the
! mystery Of Olivia's solemnity for the
! last ten years
/ In Mans book found al kinds Of
! advertisements such as face creams,
: beautifers and electric curriers'. These
! indicate that she aspires TO be so-
ciety belle.
g Welch Dewey's book looked like a.
4 baseball game, but instead Of the
i names of the heroes Of baseball, his
! own name was scrubbed on every
E page. He can tell you with ease
\ every baseball player in the country
: and give the standing Of the clubs for
e the last ten years. Why his name
should be written all over his book I
e cannot explain; but. In order that the
r truthfulness Of history may be pre-
e served and that naval honors may not
! be ruthlessly snatched from . most
= worthy and deserving hero. II Is emf
: nently proper that should state here
that Welch is not the Dewey who
q gave the command, Fire when you
d get ready Gridley,D and who sank the
Spanish ships in the Manila harbor.
q In Vivienne Eycleshfmer's book
Y was amazed to see the alphabet writ
I ten on every fly leaf. Now Vivienne's
name is not only hard 70 pronounce
II but also to spell. So she had these
n letters written here only to have ref
" erence to in spelling her name IN the
h English language, and II you, the an
dience, should forget the name, i
% may be recalled to memory b. jumbl-
e ing together all the letters Of the
II alphabet
