10 GRADUATES IN
CLASS OF 1906
Recall Happy but Strange
ly Uneventful School
Days.

Most senior classes manage to get
through the unending regime of pro-
grams and parties at the close of the
year with some semblance of wis
dom. 1t is so with the Glass of 1906,
keeping its impetus on to the last
with "Sapientia Omnibus PrOestat"
Wisdom stands before all. "FlOw-
cry genius" perVades the member
ship of the class; artists, musicians.
Away with the original essays on
graduation night Instead an inter-
Schaeffer was presented to deliver
the main thoughts. Another first is
the holding of the Sunday evening
Baccalaureate service in the Presby-
terian Church by Rev. II. l.. Bun
stein. Hitherto the, services had
been held in the morning.
Scanning the program of the class
night which was held in the Ar
mory Hall, one happens to see!
Glass pictures-Mr. William Roach
the class artist. All during the
year he delighted the classes with
his likenesses of the members; al
ways complimentary, of course. This
William Roach on a certain occasion
with two other boys decided that he
was too angelic and planned to play
hockey. He told the story in this
manner.
ut seemed so unusual to finish
High School without ever having
played hockey, so we three boys,
Jim, AL, and l did that very thing,
spending the entire afternoon up at
the head of Haven Lake. That eve
ming | was helping my father in his
barber shop. Mr.. La Rue, principal,
entered and it was my luck to have
to shave him. Just as | was ready
to put the blade to his neck, he said,
where were you this afternoons"
He little knew how close his shave
was by the fright he gave me.
Other evidences of genius in the
class of 1906 are listed in the pro-
gram, vocal solo by Miss Salevan
and a piano solo by Miss Masten.
In those days students marched to
and from classes by music. One of
the members of the class of 1906 has
suggested that perhaps this was in
duciYe to quick movement. Even in
these fast days" a little music
might help that lolling around in the
corridors, although a pretty face
sometimes attracts still more than
music would.
Milford stores at that time GER
tainly did bloom with generosity.
One afternoon each graduate of the
class was surprised at receiving a
beautiful bouquet of flowers from
the Kent Drug Company. Again, af-
ter the class night exercises were
the faculty and each |
member of the class was invited to
Mr.. B. II. Matthew's store for un-
dreamed of delight.
Miss Julia Nafe, the English tea
cher, was especially admired and
commended 1t is said that much of
the poise of the class night speakers
was due to her training. The privil-
eyed members I'll withhold no lon

ed; Anne Davidson, now secretary
