istory of the Glass of 1903.

T was the first day of September, and the long-silent
{ school bell rangout its warning music, for school had
begun. In the high-school rooms a new class had assembled to begin the four years’ course. It was the class
of '03, a class that will, by the teachers at least, be long remembered. (Never mind why.) We assembled with the
determination ta do our best. From the beginning we
found the work very interesting (with variations). Mr.
Barker, of whom everybody stood a little in awe at first,
was reasonably lenient with us, for he realized that it would
take a little time for us to acquire the dignified (?) demeanor of high school students.
The first year passed very pleasantly for everybody.
(Except once in a while.) Patiently the class wound its
tedious way through the intricacies of Latin declensions
and stored away in their minds the fact that the double of
X is not X-square. Long will we remember the pleasant
journey into-Spain with Irving to-visit the delights of the
classic Alhambra. In short, we left school at the end of the
‘term with a very satisfied feeling toward the year and a
pleasing anticipation (and apprehension) of the coming
one.
The junior year began very pleasantly for all concerned.
Caesar told in lingua nova nobis how he fought the Gallic
hosts, while in Algebra the unknown mysteries of quadratics were opened unto us. Few noteworthy. escapades occurred that year. Z
In the middle year the class of ’02, who had not previously deigned to notice us, condescended to unite forces in
Physics and Geometry, and soon found themselves ’way in
the rear. (Ask them if that isn’t true.) This was one of
the most pleasant years of our high school life. Cicero, for
our special benefit, hurled forth his invectives against Cataline; Shakespeare brought to our minds the romance of
Venice and the tragedies of Rome: De Morgan informed us
concerning the value of “pi,” and Physics showed us a new
world of reason and reality. We indulged in a few harmless pleasures, such as ice cream in the lab.,-and a very enjoyable party at Odd Fellows' Hall.
The senior year opened under favorable auspices.: The
work progressed very well (according to students’ ideas)
during the first half. In the course of the Christmas vacation, death took from our number one of our favorite classmates, a loss we can never cease to regret.
The second half term has passed happily for us. We
have sailed around the orbis terrarum with Aeneas, admired the elocution of Burke, looked askance at the sines and
cosines of Trigonometry, written innumerable history papers on every conceivable subject, and combined everything
in the Chemistry laboratory with everything else.
And now, at our graduation, with a little sadness in our
hearts, we prepare to leave four of the happiest years we
have ever spent and go forth on our ingens aequor of life.

“Venimus, vidimus, vincemus,” which, translated for
barbarian readers, means, we arrived on the scene, took in
the situation, and have assurance enough to think we'll
come out on top.
Glass of 1905.
When the class of 1905 entered the High School it gained
a reputation for accuracy. One boy in particular is always
Wright. He, of course, stands Hi. We numbered twentythree, “of whom the greater part remains with us to the
present day, but some are fallen asleep.”
In athletics we do not excel, for though we kick at the
length of the history lesson, we are two light for football.
Owen to a recent acquisition we are represented on the diamond.
We are singularly free from schism, for though “Mouse”
sits in Kitts’ vicinity there is little trouble between them.
Despite several dark hints dropped by the principal, we
hope to pass into the middle class, there, if need be, to
take our medicine—or at least our physics.
Glass of 1906.
Class history, did you say?’ Why, bleas me, we're only
Ninth Graders; we haven't any history.
