the last four years of school life, realz-
ing that they will need to make even
better use of all these virtues than we
have done, as they are to be deprived of
the kind and efficient help and inspiration
of our beloved teacher, Mr.. Proctor,
without whom we should have had many
discouragements and probably been more
hopeless failures in many things than we
are at present; and although we do not
consider ourselves shining lights, we do
hope that the use of all the virtues we
leave them may help them in measure
to close their High school career as sue
cessfully as we are closing ours.
Second-To the Juniors we leave our
desks, books and chattels, calling speci |
attention to our most generous gift, the
note books containing our Civil Govern
ment tabulations, which during our senior
year have caused US more trouble than all
other studies combined. We also leave
them the patience we have had to make
use of at times when they have refused
to help US in our efforts toward giving
successful entertainments, and may they
receive more help and encouragement
from their undergraduates than we ever
! have from them.
Third-To the Sophomores we leave
which we have made such go1d use of
for some days past and we recommend
that they study the art of dressmaking
, for the next two years, so that if they are
called upon in their senior year to display
the talent in that line that we have shown
they may be better prepared for the
! ordeal than we were.
Fourth-To the Freshmen girls and
boys we leave the very dim and distant
prospects Of the new school building, of
which we have had so many promises,
and of which we have been deprived,
and should they succeed in obtaining it,
we hope their good fortune may not
! cause their badly swollen heads to be-
come any larger than they are at the
present time.
Fitth-To the School Board we leave
our good will and appreciation of the
extra half hour per day which they so
kindly arranged for US to spend IN the
schoolroom, and they have no idea how
much extra knowledge we have been
able to obtain, and we also greatly ap-
preciate the day off which they gave us
in one slight storm, although after wal
lowing through several feet of snow on
other occasions, the shock of receiving
! that one still remains with US and we
hope the next class to graduate may have
as pleasant memories of the Board as
we are sure will linger in our minds for
years to come.
Sixth-To Mr.. Proctor, our beloved
principal, we leave our very best wishes
for his future welfare and success, We
realize that he has had much to contend
with during our four years with him and
we are glad for this opportunity to thank
him for bearing SO patiently with our
faults and follies. We are also pleased
to have been allowed his wise guidance
and assistance to the end of our High
school course.
Seventh. To Miss Hazeltine we leave
our thanks for her kindness to US during
the three years she has been with US and
we wish her the best of success in her
future work.
Eighth To Theodore Bramhall we
leave the title Of the Mellins' food baby
of b. H. S., which place William Norris
has successfully filled for four years, be-
lieving that Teddy is very well equipped
to fill the position.
Ninth-To Edna Curtis we leave the
dramatic ability, stage presence and fine
talent of Byron Salter, who has shown
himself such capable entertainer in our
class.
Tenth-To Lillian Dexter and Una
Greenlaw we leave the mantle which
falls from the shoulders of our talented
pianist, Marguerite Owen. believing they
will be fully capable of being her sue
