studies, specialized in my beloved
mathematics and for several years
have been a contented teacher of that
science in one of our leading schools.
And now that l am privileged to

these happy times and the faces OF
the class and teachers wildly to my

thinking of each one individually and
jondering over what the years have
had in store for them. 1t is a source

Miss McCarley, our room teacher,
who always shared our toys and dis
appointments, went to her new home
in Colorado Immediately after school

dignified young lady. She is keeping
books for the Baze Manufacturing
Company recently established at Sny-

Grady Biggs, the farmer boy, and
lover of nature, followed up his last

in pure blooded stock. He has pur-
chased and improved by up-to-date
appliances, big ranch in the West

exhibit at the State Fair always mer-

Curtis Brown, who could always
"flunk" on exams as easily as II he
meant to do it, has several times
been a successful candidate for pub
Lie office and in his efforts to be am
liable to all voters, especially thewo-
men, his old good-natured grin has
