pre enting this Record of the Cla s of 1907 to the faculty, the students, and the public, it is not our intention that it shall form any great contribution to literatur . The object of every class record is to portray the history and life of the class it repre ents. By the record of the cla s, one is to judge that class to a large extent, yet the reader must interpret the work as inten led by the author . To fully under tand the happy time and the sad ones too, we ask of you a . ympathetic reading and trust that we may have your favor.

'\Ve who are about to die, salute you," so said the gladiators of old, so ay we as we leave Friends' Central. Our school days have gone, never to return; we have lived our school life and now it must die. But while our school day are past, we are just beginning on the new life. In thi new life we have a broader landscape and greater opportunitie . We feel sad to part after our good old times together, but time rolls on and we must go to greater things. We each have many plans and hopes to fulfill and now we are just beginning on a pure, spot les s page.

o, friends, before we leave, in these la st two days, we welcome you to our festivities, to join with us and help us s how what love and honor we have f r them. :'.\Iany of you have watched us grow from childhood, and now wait to see us take our second great step.

vV e thank our teachers for their kind guidance, the memory of which will help us in the future.

vV e will keep the honor of nought seven an honor never to be disgraced and · in the hard struggles to come we will remember our class motto, which 1s not for to-day only, but for all days and forever.

"Let us conquer."

VIRGINIA DRYSDALE KEENEY.

PO LOGY: It was a decided and probably th e only mistake ever made by the Class of )rineteen- even, when I wa s elected hi torian. To fully realize the error read thi s hi s tory, but "De to it merits (if any) very kind Be to it s fault a little blind."

1902-1903.

One bright Tue clay in eptember ( all class hi stories begin that way) the corner of Fifteenth and Race Street was crowded with nur e maids, black and white French and Irish, all ort and ize . There wa a rumor o f its being a trike, but 0011 it wa di covered that the maid had merely brought their young charge to enter Cla s E ot Friend s ' Central School. If you will ju t step in · ide the . chool you will see the youngsters themelves. What dear little darling they are! No one would ever think that they would, in the cour e of a few year , become that mighty, that famou , and gloriou la .s of Nineteen-

Seven! Dutch cuts, white dresses, and pink and blue sashes predominate. That little girl with long curls is Ethel Borden-her nurse is telling her not to get her hands dirty. Ethel has not forgotten that to this day. That's Peggy Shoemaker with a French nurse-Peggy has been good in French ever since. Alice Mac Ilwee, Edith Baker and two or three other pretty little things are staring at some little boys. But the boys are hustled off to realms above, and, except in the corridors, we never saw them again until we were in Class C.

At first we thought ourselves very big, especially we who came from the Intermediate, but we soon noti.ced that everybody patronized us; and when Mrs. Speakman called us " tho se little E girls," our proud and haughty spirits were humbled in the dust (this dust was on the desk as u ual) and ever since we have been noted for our humble spirit, even in the midst of all our successes.

The lessons in E were easy and we did n o t have to study very hard to get good marks. The most interesting study was Zoology, and we were horror stricken to learn that a grasshopper was not a grasshopper, but a locust; and that a locust was not a locust, but a cicada. Connected with Zoology was that ancient institution, the Natural History Field Club. Never having had a pin of any kind betore, everybody bought an N. H. F. C. pin, and great was the surprise when the pin turned out to be Gimbel's trade-mark. "The pins came from New York, where they don't know Gimbel Bros."-this was the explanation, and we were satisfied with it, and wore the pins for a couple of months, and then laid them away to rust, for they were anything but gold.

Still more interesting than the pins were the excursions made by the N. H. F. C. Only one was indulged in, and the only participants were two small boys and one girl. Wissahickon Creek was the place chosen by the "excursion" in which to drag their nets and hunt for the mighty mon s ters of the sea. Unfortunately the only finds were two smaIT worms , and they died on the way back to school because they were handled too much.

After many sad and long rehearsals the "Merchant of Venice" was performed before an admiring audience of scholars and relations. Helen Fitzgerald as Nerissa , and Helen Paxson as Portia , were the success of the day.

Dy the time June came, the faculty were a bout tired of us and so there was a unanirnow motion to adjourn for the summer vacation.

1903-1904.

Every one was glad to come back and get to work ao-ain-evidently we thought school life would always be as easy as it had been in E. But we fully realized that we were in for trouble and hard work when we first visited our classes. Latin especiall) frightened us, but Mrs. Sterling, to use her own expres ion-"hammered it in," and by the end of the year we felt that we knew a good bit more Latin than when we tarted.

great many new girls entered in D, am ng them were Elizabeth Price, Helen Sensenderfer, Margaret Keen, and others. It was about thi time that Virginia Brown and Virginia Keeney started to write poetry. These poetical effusions were very delightful to reacl. but unfortunately, they were never publi hed, owing to the extreme ba hfulness of the young poets. It was very expensive, too, because they had to invest a great deal of money in note-books. I think they filled about a dozen note-books each. ow the quetion is-where is all that poetry now?

In athletics we excelled, and how could we fail to do anything el e with such a brilliant example as Peggy Shoemaker, who could make all sorts of record-breaking jumps. tand up. Peg, and make your bow.

1904-1905.

When we came back we were quite forlorn at being split up into sections. Although the literary section had to work fairly hard, the classicals had to grind and grind. Even at recess you could see some of them laboriou ly writing Latin exercises.

At an exciting class meeting Kathryn Powell was ele,ted President. Yours truly, who

was Treasurer, had to collect the enormous sum of one-twentieth of a dollar toward class dues, from each girl.

Several members of the class, among them Helen Fitzgerald, did not come back when school reopened; but several new girls came, among them Ruth Sharp and Therese Spackman. At first we got Ruth's and Therese's names mixed up-but after three years' intimate acquaintance, I can truthfully say that we know that Therese's name is not Theresa Speakman, Terence Spankman, Therace Speckman , nor any other of the awful epithets that have been hurled at her by careless teachers.

The study we enjoyed most in Class C was Physics. The reason was. because we didn't study , and although there were about fifty experiments to be written up , we copied four which 'fessor Case dictated to us. But whatever Mr. Case's faults were, he was a brave man · and once he nobly placed his life in jeopardy that he might save our lives from an awful death. One day as the class were chatting and laughing in their usual innocent way, they were scolded a little by Professor (he n e ver dared to scold much) and the result was that the books were opened to the proper place, and by this means the lesson was most satisfactorily being recited . But suddenly Helen Supplee , who is about to rise and give the law of the pendulum, looks down at her book to make sure that she answers correctly. A ight meets her eyes that freezes the blood in her veins; and although she is nearly fainting s he hurls the book to the far end of the room with almost superhuman strength! The Professor gets up. He does not comprehend. Carefully he walks over to the book, and beside it, quivering with rage , is one of those deathly and poisonous spiders, known as the Tarantula. The Professor does not seem to breathe. His nerves are tense. In that one second he has aged perceptibly. A muffled cry, or is it a giggle, is heard on the back bench. The Professor is struggling-should he rush for the door and leave these girls helpless? No , their lives are worth more than his! The muscle s of his face relax. He has decided. Quickly he goes back and procures a tin can and a long meter stick. With a deft movement

he pushes the enraged insect into the can ; and heedless of his own s afety , bears it swiftly to the faucet and turns on the water. He lo o k s up at his pupils. Tears are flowing freely down their cheeks , but it seems to him as if th ey were laughing , pr o bably it is merely hysteria .

1905-1906 .

Now we were Juniors! What magic in that word-it makes young ladies out of little girls , and it means sociables! The bravest girl in our class is Helen Sensenderfer. Why? She had the first s ociable. The next day at r e c ess it was quite e v ident from the animated

conversation that the affair was a success. I often wonder if those boys' ears tingled-for the way they were talked about and discussed was simply immense! Even though I was not at the sociable I knew who were there and from vivid descriptions I could tell everyone of them when I met them in the corridor. For instance, I could tell which one was Joe Miller and which was Walter Hillary. One girl described Garrison minutely-even as to the color of his eyes.

But please do not think that all we did was to go to sociables. At an exciting class meeting we elected Virginia Keeney, President; Adele Scott, Vice-President ; and Margaret Shoemaker, Treasurer.

Lessons were growing hard in direct proportion as our brains grew soft. Algebra and Geometry were the worst. Many girls lay awake at nights thinking of the Algebra problems-the result was that they overslept themselves next morning and were late for school. The sensible girl did not worry about them, but went to bed early, got up early, reached school by eight o'clock in the morning, had Miss Alice help her with her problems, and got ten for her lesson. With all due respect to Miss Alice-"It's the early bird that catches the worm."

There were a great many new faces, both among teachers and scholars. Alice Ambler, I\Iary Yarnall and Emma Yarnall entered the classical section, and great was the rejoicing thereof, for, to u e Em' favorite expressio n-"t hey're corking nice g irl ." Among the new teachers were Miss Cole, Miss Sawyer and Dr. Taylor. Dr. Taylor informed us that we knew nothing whatever about Physics, and straightway he pitched in and made us work, too, and we've been learning and working ever ince. (Julia Coggeshall is an exceptionshe never works-her good disposition and innocent smile carry her along.)

Our class was becoming famous in athletics: "further particulars will be found in the latter part of the book." (This is quoted from the chemistry book, and is a very tactful way of getting rid of a subject which is too large to write upon.)

At the end of the term , the girls who had attained the highe t averages were a ked to be ushers at Commencement and then it wa that we realized that it would be our turn next . not weather, exams., headache s and n e rve s came in a bunch-but we pulled through and went away to dance all s ummer , and o th e rwi se re t o urse lve s.

1906-1907.

!thoug h we now wore our hair up, we did n ot o therwi se conduct o ur elv e as dignified se ni o r s h o uld. (F urther particulars apply Mis· Flora White.) In st ead we played pass-ball or t ag at rece , and behaved t er ribly in Arithmeti c and Dook-keepino- cl a es. Mary Tuttle, D t Hopkins and A letha Burbank s uppll ea rerresf1rnents, and the fun wa uppli ed by everybody. Jn all other classes we "Literaries'' behaved ourse lv es almost a well a the ·' la ssica ls," who hav e to tudy o hard that they a lwa y behave.

Kathryn Powell, Margaret h oema k er and Adele Scott go t tir ed of th lit e rar y sectio n and went into the clas ical. ther calamities were o. D o t Hopkin , who got app endiciti , and Helen Paxson, who went abroad.

Early in the year the Record Committee was appointed and work was begun immediately. Another committee started working on the senior play. Two plays, "Cranks," and "A Case of Suspension," were decided on. The players were soon chosen, and rehearsals were started-to use Alice Mac Ilwee's expression, "theoretically speaking, they never stopped." It is probably due to the numerous rehearsals that the play was such a success.

In the midst of all the excitement of class pictures, French reviews, etc., an event happened that made us the happiest girls in Friends' Central. We won all three cups! We won the basket ball cup, the contest cup, and Peg Shoemaker won the cup which is presented to the best all round athlete in the school. Hurrah for Peggy!

To-morrow we will no longer be pupils of Friends' Central. We part with deep regret from those who have patiently labored with us for five years; and we ask them to remember the Class of Nineteen-Seven with all kindness, for between us there has been a bond of friendship-which cannot be broken.

NCE upon a time, long, long ago. 111 the fall, full five _vear ago. in fact, there was lined up on both side of Fifteenth Street half the city of Philadelphia. The entire crowd seemed to be in a frenzy of expectation, throwing each ther aside in a mad endeavor to command a good view of the narrow passao-eway in the middle of the treet difficultly kept open by the police. t last there could be seen in the di tance an orderly mass of talwart twelve-year-olds proudly approaching. As they came nearer, the crowd broke out into a mighty cheer, and the mayor , in his grandstand, took off his hat, bowing approvingly at this repre entation of Philadelphia's youno- manhood. As they reached a point directly in front of the school, Profes or Baker, followed by all the faculty, is uecl forth to welcome its honored o-uests. Most of the teachers seemed well plea eel, but Profe or Baker was heard to say to himself: "I'm afraid they'll be a hard class to manage." But he only patted one of the little fellows on the head, as he followed them in.

On that day we began our lives as 'high-schoolers." The fir t few months were exceedingly trying ones, for the school seemed so slow in adapting itself to us. But it finally succeeded, and as it needed new recruits for its "Blues" and its "Grays," each one of us swore allegiance for better or for worse to one or the other of the two rival colors. If we were as loyal to our oaths to-day as we were that first year, you would see those Blue and Gray draperies rent in two; the Blue decorating its followers on one side of the platform, and the Gray its adherents on the other. I remember one day, late in the afternoon, after all the teachers had gone home, the Blues glued a triumphant po ter with B-1-u-e blazed upon it on the ceiling of our class room. The next morning the Grays were completely dumfounded at the way in which they had been outwitted. They resolved to have vengeance. The next morning the Blue sign was nowhere to be seen, but in its place a huge "GRAY " covering , nearly a quarter of the ceiling . Of course , it didn't stay there long.

The principal thino- of interest that year was the Natural History Field Club. At the joint meeting we first met the maidenly section of our class and at once became so enamored that there was a regular hand to hand fight to see who should get in the club play with our fair cou ins . Those that did, of course, had to act the parts of grown men and dres accordingly , but ome of u vividly remember to this day how terribly uncomfortable Father's long trou er felt .

lass D i celebrated for the introduction of the fire alarm and the cutting of Hillary 's finger nails. But, perhap , you don ' t know that little story about Walter' nails. He used t o be addicte I to wearing them excessively 1 ng, to the sorrow of the rest of us. A fellow carcely ever came out of our basket ball games without some kind of a wound or scratch all on account of tho e tentacles. At last we lecided that we would have to trim them. So one gym. period, without any warning, we seized our victim and proceeded to carry out our resolution. It took six fellows to hold him and then, just as we had gotten the left hand in good shape and were on the point of tarting on the other, the fire bell rang!

Hillary has never forgiven us for the injury we inflicted upon him that day . It seems he had spent six months of caretaking pains on those nails.

In Class C came the election of class officers. After much stump speaking, haranguing and other contentions in our class meetings , Albert Keller was finally chosen President.

vVe had scarcely settled down from the excitement of class meetings, wherein some of us were thrust to the boil of a Class Pin Committee. It's a hard matter to tell whether the girls or the boys came out triumphant, but at any rate, the pin finally chosen-one that for originality of design-would be hard to equal.

Everyone returned the following fall , glorying in the knowledge that B was the year for sociables. So as soon as we had elected the class o fficer s, thi s time Perrott, Pre ident; Jackson, Vice-President; and Wil on, Secretary an<l Treasurer, we immediately began to hint to the girls that a premium would be paid to the o ne giving the break-in.

For that first sociable every girl and every fellow in the class turned out. The girls arrived early, and firmly believing in the old saying, "There's safety in numbers, " collected in a bunch at one end of the reception hall and waited patiently for the fellows. They waited and waited and still not a boy showed up. Finally there came a faint ring of the door bell. The door was opened and there was but one poor boy. Trying to appear confident in his embarrassment, he made a stride for the reception hall, looked in, and-well, that was enough. He decided to wait in the vestibule for reinforcements. Thirty to one was too much for him. When finally five solitary individuals had arrived they made a dash through the door and succeeded in gaining a corner partially hidden by the piano in the end of the room farthest removed from the objects of their bashful admiration.

Such was the way we met the girls. But before the evening was over, we had discussed the weather with every girl there, and with this good beginning, by the end of the year, after ten or a dozen "parties," we had developed into quite fluent conversationalists.

At last our year had come. We were now the graduating class, looked up to by every one in the school. Our political machine this year consisted of Perrott, President; Miller, Vice-President; and Carpenter, Secretary and Treasurer. Perrott to boss the class, Miller to pacify the rest of us that we weren't "bosses," and Carpenter to collect the cash for the services of the three.

The first part of the year was one of jolly good times, for we had not then begun to think and plan and work for the Play, the Record, and Class Day. Late in October, Albert Keller gave a Hallowe'en barn dance to the class, at his country home in Morton. Of all the good times the class has ever had, I am sure we will all ao-ree, that was the best. The dance and the merry ghost party, for ghost parties may be merry, will be long remembered by every boy and girl.

And then but two short months later, we all went home for a jolly Yuletide vacation. Ah, that Yuletide! While it brought blessings to most of us, to one home, it carried a deep sorrow. Some of us had the good time, but not those who knew how ill Albert Keller was. On the first day of our year, of his year 1907, he passed away. Many had not heard of his illness, and to them the news of his death came as a double shock. There was not a fellow but realized that the class had met with an irreparable loss. "Ella," as we affectionately called him, had been the hard worker of the class. Striving for a spirit of good fellowship between the girls and boys, he had been the first and-yes , the last, to offer his home for the sociables.

Class A we have found to be a hard year. Between lesson , the Play, the Record, and this Class Day, we've not had much time to nap. I know there is not a fellow in the class that is not glad, that in the vacation that commences day after to-morrow, he will really have time to rest. But when he remembers that that vacation lasts forever, as far as Friends' Central goes, he's sorry he wanted it.

Our work, we hope, has been successful. Our plays, someone said, were good. No

t e acher ever said that about our school work , but of course they thought it , all the same, d idn ' t they , Profe s or Baker?

O f o ur lit e r a r y eff o rt yo u will have to ju do-e, fri e nd s. W e hav e put h o ne t work into o ur Class Record , and we hope that when you read it, you will return the verdict that the so meone did about o ur Pla y, " Good ."

HAD been waiting an hour, and for the tenth time I looked around at the invaluable curios and art-treasures crowded into the small room where I was sitting. There were rare statues, forgotten old paintings, finely wrought weapons of dead ages, all scattered at random about the apartment or on the tapestried walls. Several large easels stood in the corners, supporting pictures which were hidden by heavy red velvet draperies.

It was the first time I had ever visited this remarkable room, the studio of the greatest artist the world has ever known, Father Time.

uddenly the curtain opposite me were separated and in stepped the old gentleman himself, with his face reddened by the winter's cold, and his long beard blown into disorder. Nodding toward me where I had risen, he walked across the room and stood his long scythe in a corner, and then hastily pulled his winding scarf from his shoulders, disclosing beneath it an ordinary, grey business suit. I guess I must have shown my surprise at seeing this very conventional dress under hi traditional habit, for with a quick smile he turned toward me, and with a little backward nod, said:

"Oh! yes! I should greatly prefer to dress like this always, but the people insist that I would not be Father Time without that troublesome grey scarf and a scythe. Why, it has only been a couple of hundred years since they first permitted me to stop carrying the great, awkward hour-glass about with me. And really, my dear young lady, you can not think what a nuisance carrying an hour-glass is, unless you have tried it. So you are the young person who wrote to me of your intention to honor me with a call."

I smiled, for two reasons, at hearing my humble request for an interview put so haughtily, and because it had been about twenty years since anyone had called me "young person."

"Well," Time continued, "sit down and talk to me a little. So few people visit thi studio of min e that I can fully appreciate the nov elty."

"Then first let me thank you for seeing me, to-day," I began. " While I waiting I have enjoyed looking at your collections , and I find them wonderful. things of every time and some strange contrivances of which I do not know at for instance, what is that small iron cylinder with the dial and hand on its end?" ha v e been You have all. Now ,

Father Time eyed me for a moment, then his face wrinkled in a smile, and then s·uddenly he laughed heartily.

"Well, I guess you can keep a secret," he said , "so I will tell you. That is a speedometer for airships . It has not been invented yet , so no wonder you did not know its use. I think Elizabeth Yocum will patent it in a few years. "

For a moment I was silent, trying to think what there was about the name familiar to me, and then suddenly I remembered " Y e nnie " a s she us e d to loo k at sch o ol , and I recalled how she used to know e v e ry word in German.

Father Time ' s v oice broke my reverie at that p o int , and I heard him saying :

" You come from Philadelphia, perhaps y o u know of Mis s Keen , the actres s?"

" Maro-aret Keen! An actress! Well, h o w did that happen ?" I ga s ped.

" Largely due to the untiring efforts of h e r g en e ral m a n age r , l\ Ii ss B uchanan ," said Time , and then continued , " Another famous Philadelphia w o man o f that period was Therese Spackman , wh o was , for years , the m o ving force o f th e Sal v ati o n A rmy. he was an untiring worker for reform , and , together with Bertha Coyne, th e temperance lecturer , and Dorothy Hopkins , the famou s Women ' s Ri g hts ' Advocate , did much for th e advancement o f her se x."

A ll I c o uld d o wa s t o s mile f e ebly fo r my surprise at this triple s hock was overwhelming. Presently I asked:

" In what other way s have Philadelphia girl s become prominent during the last half century?"

Father Time did not answer immediately , then he said thoughtfully:

" There was a youn g woman named Sen s enduffer-or bluffer-who might have become noted as an elocutionist , but she was irretrievably handicapped by her bashful disposition. "

I only nodded in reply , for my attention wa ~ center ed o n a larg e white marbl e bu st which s t oo d in a far corner. It wa s the head and shoulders of a woman, and there seemed something strangely familiar ab o ut the broad for e head and deep-set eyes . Stepping nearer, I co uld read the in s cripti o n at the base:

·' E li za be th Ev an P ri ce, t each e r , auth o r , sc ho lar. E rected by th e tud ent s and alumni of Swarthmore College in honor of their former beloved instructress and president ."

" That, " explained Father Time , "is only a copy of one down at Swarthmore . Dr. Alice I[. A mbl e r , wh o w a alwa y an admir e r o f Dr. Price , was the one who first became interested in havin g the s tatue erected. "

My ab s ent - minded answering nod was not so much due to surprise as to preoccupation, for I was bu s y trying to think of a plan to h ear about all the members of the old class. Nothing better occurring to me-I finally asked Father Time if he ever kept a record of a cla s s a s a cla ss .

" I think I see what you mean ," he smiled , "y ou want to hear about the members of the Class of ineteen-Seven at Friend s' Central. Well , I don ' t usually chronicle classes as classes , n o, but the case you mention is a very unusual one . In such an illustrious instance , I th o u g ht I had better make an exception."

So s a y ing , he stepped over to a pile of books and drew out one of the lower ones.

" Thi s," he explained , " is a sort of class r e cord. It contain s a brief account of the life o f each of the members since June seventh, nineteen-seven. I consider it one of my greatest treasur es . But before we start, let me show you a wonderful portrait which · has recently co m e into m y p o ·se s ion. "

He stepped acro s s the room and drew the curtains from one of the easels, disclosing

a life-sized picture of a lady in a flaming red evening dress, who gazed carelessly at the world from haughty, half-closed eyes. Those eyes fascinated me with their blackness, and I was studying them thoughtfully when I heard Father Time ' s voice saying:

" Thi s is a po rtrait o f a fam o u s bea.uty, Jo s ephine Virginia Brown, who was, a decade or so ago, the most beautiful woman in Philadelphia. That picture was painted by Katherine Powell, the distinguished portrait painter, and the gown was designed especially for th e po rtrait by l\ Iadam es Cog g es hall and Cock. "

Then he placed a chair for me and drew up one beside it, opening the old volume.

As he hastil y turned the pages, I saw groups of boys and girl s flash between the yellow margins , til! at last he stopped near the back of the book and read: " Ambler , Borden , Brown, Buchanan. "

"Yes! yes! " I interrupted quickly, " that is the list. Now tell me about the ones of whom I have not heard already.

So he began to read :

"Borden, Ethel Marie , born 1888; died---."

My startled exclamation cut him off , and he substituted , " reporter for the Ladies' Horne Journal. O h , by th e way, did yo u kn ow that Do roth y Y ogd es u ed t o writ e th e health-food articles , and Marian Stockton the fashion reviews for that paper when Adele Sco tt wa s edito r ? Y o u mu s t kn o w o f th e wide-spread influence Miss Scott exerted by her fine series of religious articles. "

Then, skipping down the list, he read, "Fay , Pauline R--, made fortune in partnership with Anna Gri s co m a s trap e se arti s ts at the New York Hippodrome . Miss Fay later became the proprietor of a troop of artists, in which were Margaret Shoemaker , who weighed 5ro pound s , and Angeline Power, the giantess."

I was not surprised at this , for I remembered Pauline ' s fondness for work and activity , but his next announcement ,Yas truly startlin g . It was:

"Sp r o ul, 1Iary Letitia, s is t e r of charity. Later a complete reclu se."

I thought of how jolly Mary used to be, and it all seemed very strange.

' 'I hav e to ld yo u all the famous o n es," sa id Time, ''excep t perhaps Florence Mowlds, th e great society leader, and Edith Baker, who was, and is, well-known among the Friends as an eloquent speaker in their meetings."

"But tell me about the rest," I pleaded. " \i\That did Aletha Burbank do , and the Yarnall s ?"

"A letha went to South America with Helen Suplee , as a red-cross nurse," said Time, referring to the book , "a nd the Yarnalls ran a very select school for young ladies, out near Hav e rford College. They say the Haverford fellows used to visit the school to see the teacher s."

I was still longing t o know about the few remaining ones, but I did not like to ask so many questions.

Ju st then a knock wa s sounded on the do o r, and Father Time stepped across the room , and opened it , engaging in a low -voiced conversation with some one outside. This gave me my chance, and I quickly opened the book and glanced down the page to Keeney. I was really di appointed to find after Virginia's name only the entry "book agent-sharp-married. " I re-read this several times , and was puzzled until it occurred to me to look up Ruth Sharp's record. So I turned over to the S 's and found after Ruth 's name "Very successful book agent. Forced Keeney to give up the business. "

A nd I s ighed at Ruth 's mean di s positi o n.

The old leaves fell over as I lifted my hand from them, and I found myself staring at the startling announcement that Alice Mcllwee had married a country m1111ster. Then , s kipping Powell and Power, of whom I had already heard, I stopped at Clara Price 's name and discovered after it this , " Proprietress of the Indian Rock Hotel. See ad."

With a hasty glance toward Father Time, who was still talking, I turned the old

leaves till I found the advertisement, where was a full-page picture of that very well-known hotel, in colors, and a notice under it saying that special attention would be given to sleighing-parties and straw-rides.

Pausing in my reading to recall Clara more distinctly, my gaze fell upon the opposite page, where, enclosed in wreaths of pen and ink cupids, was a card announcing the reopening of the Misses Taylor and Tuttle ' s private matrimonial agency.

Just then Father Time stepped to my side.

"I am sorry," he said, "that my man announced your carriage."

Glancing quickly up , I saw the lengthening s hadow s and prepared to go, saying, with my " Good-byes: "

"Your knowledge of the Class of Nineteen-Seven is certainly complete."

Father Time accompanied me to the door, where, with a profound bow , he answered: "I am glad to have come to know the only member of that class, of whom I had not learned before."

ACH year there is chosen in the graduating class a prophet, one on whom falls the task of forecasting the future of his classmen. Much depends upon the temperament of the prophet. As lamentation and bewailing are quite as permissible as joy and sunshine, the prophet must needs determine the tenor of his prediction.

To obtain the information for his forecast the prophet may use any means available. l\lany and various are the methods at the prophet's command. If he be a dreamer or be ver ed in the occult so much greater advantage has he over the ordinary mortal. But as there is always supposed to be an intangible air of secrecy about at least some portion of a prophecy, your prophet has chosen to draw the shroud of mystery about the means whereby he gains hi information and to give you the true account of the Class of Nineteeneven in the year 1920.

I had just returned to Philadelphia after an absence of several years and was, of course, de irous of seeing what was new in the dear old town.

A I walked out the street from the railroad station I saw before me a huge sign, "Profe sor Abbott, the Wizard of Astrology." Could it be possible! Yet there was the sign before me, o without further hesitation I decided to call upon the professor. I was soon shakino- hands with a weird-looking man in a long purple bathrobe and Chinese slippers. till ga ping with astonishment, I was hurried into the private office where the professor removed the weird garment, disclosino- himself as he really was.

"You see," he said, "I have to do it or the people won't believe what I say. It isn't quite as ea y to fool the public now as it was to bluff the faculty at Friends' Central."

After takino- leave of the professor, I sought out a hotel at which to pass the night.

The evening, I decided, could be most pleasantly passed at a theatre, so I ventured

out m search of one. The house was crowded and everyone awaited the appointed time with anxious expectation.

The curtain rises and there steps upon the stage a graceful creature in pink ballet skirt. The orchestra leader waves his baton and the dancer begins to circle in the intricate dance. Faster and faster the musicians play; women gasp and grow faint; strong men grasp their chairs with the tenacity of death; the building rocks and threatens to be dashed from its foundation . But the finale is at hand and with one last flouri h the leader of the orchestra finishes, the whirl of pink subsides and Jackson steps forward with smiling countenance.

The audience has hardly recovered when the curtain rise again and a tall, sad-faced man appears and begins to sing. But this time the audience i prepared and with one howl of rage precipitate itself upon the orchestra and then the burst of ancient eggs. l\Ieanwhilc Hillary gracefully exits.

After these astonishing events it was with no little hesitation and concern that I entered upon a new clay, the econd of my stay in Philadelphia. I had very vivid recollection of political parades, as a feature of certain very exciting elections in the earlier year , but the one I encountered on that second day has ob cured them entirely. Block after block of men carrying huge signs with "Down with the rich men," "Give the workingman a chance," "Vote for Bunting," and imilar devices met my gaze. uddenly the line stopped and a big man in a silk hat and frock coat began to harangue the crowd.

As I could get no part of the discourse except the frantic gestures, I asked a man beside me who this eloquent gentleman was.

"That," he said, ' 'is Lawrence E. Dird all. ward bo in the 10th \Vard and leader of the Labor Union Party, of which the Hon. Samuel Bunting is the candidate for mayor."

As I turned away I was buttonholed by a short and extremely tout man who gave no chance to escape, but who began:

"Young man, what you need is a wife, someone to make you happy and cheerful. Now, I'm Miller, of J\Iiller and Rambo, l\Iatrimonial Speciali ts, and I have just what you need. Our terms are very reasonable and we guarantee satisfaction or refund your money. You run absolutely no risk and-"

But I had broken away and hastened up the street after the procession. Soon they reached the City Hall and there disbanded.

Filled with curiosity to see again this monument to civic purity, I entered and, after wandering about, made my way to the court room where I sat down to hear or see anything that might be interesting. Soon the judge and court officials took their places. The crier called the divorce case of Heacock vs. Heacock. Instantly I became interested in the proceedings and, as the plaintiff appeared, I could scarcely recognize in the meek and nervous man before me our "ladies' man" of 1907. Here was a true victim of domestic infelicity. How sad, I thought, to see such a spectacle, but my trend of thought was suddenly interrupted by the voice of the judge announcing the adjournment of court.

till meditating on the unhappy scene before me, I was startled to hear behind me a voice:

"Yes, my dear doctor, I entirely concur with you in the belief that sleep is one of the greatest benefits that man possesses. Therefore, I avail my elf of it bles ing in abundance."

There could no longer be the slightest donbt in my mind as to the identity of the speaker. it must be Garri on. It wa Garrison and with him Doctor Fussell.

Doctor Fussell, I learned, had become quite a prominent physician in that town called l\fanayunk. He had at first become a partner in a patent medicine concern with Doctor Edwin I errott, but when the newspapers beo·an a crusade on such enterprises he resigned, leaving Doctor Perrott to face the investigation and-well, Doctor Perrott is traveling in Europe just now for his health.

The following day being Sunday, I resolved to go to church before I left the old town. s I walked along, I saw a board "Hope Baptist Church, Rev. Royal B. Dobbins, Pastor." I entered and was shown a seat just as the service began. After the offering had been taken the pastor arose and said:

"Dear friends, we have with us to-day a well-known mi sionary and a zealous worker. He returns to u after a trip of two year mini tering to the heathen in Africa. The R everend Austin A. Adamson will tell us of his travels on the Dark Continent."

Simultaneously with the opening words of the Reverend Mr. Adamson, began the nodding of heads as one by one the congregation was called to sleep. Finally the great bleing of Garrison overtook me and the heathen were forgotten.

With the first peal of the organ I was awake, but at that same instant the veil of prophecy was rent and only this little account remains as a forecast of the future.

WILLIAJ\1 SEAL CARPENTER.

0 clear old '07 was a thing of the past!

I was sitting icily ~n the green slope near the river , with that l:orr1~ly uncomfortable day-after feelmg, for yesterday we had graduated from Fnends Central. Already I felt old and lonely; already I missed our dear cla smates, and wished, oh, how I wished I could see any one of them for just one minute!

Suddenly, some distance up the river, I spied a canoe, advancing with long, even graceful strokes of the paddle. The girl, its sole occupant was evidently athletic- omehow she reminded me of l\Iargaret Shoemaker, our ' best athlete.

As I had been the class statistician, I had had the honor of finding that our average weight was 120 pounds, our average height 5 feet 3 inches , and our average age 18 years, <?• months; al o that eight of our illustrious class had chosen in favor of warthmore, four in favor of Smith, and two others \Vellesly and Bryn l\Iawr respectively. Well to return to Peggy. I had been amazed to find that one member of the cla , had not voted for her a the be t athlete. The vote was for Virginia Keeney and while Virginia is perfectly splendid she i not quite a Peggy! I wa really quite excited about it until I happened to notice that I was looking at Peggy' own paper. Of course! How stupid, I suppo e her modesty did prevent her from voting for herself!

Busy with my thought , I had forgotten the canoe, but now it had grated upon the bank and the girl jumped out, pulling it high up on the bank. Then she turned and came slowly toward me. I started and rubbed my eyes. Vvhat was it that was o strangely familiar about her? I recognized her very step, her figure, her very motion and yet, I was absolutely positive that I had never seen this girl before!

he was quite near me now, and she smiled. At least I could place that smile! It was Mary Yarn~ll's without doubt! She held out her hands and I arose.

"I beg your pardon,'' I exclaimed, "your face i so familiar to me, yet I cannot place you. \Von"t you tell me where we met?" The girl laughed. fary proul's laugh! It was po itively weird. But I wo uld know that jolly, infectiou . chuckle . if I heard it in the wilds of Africa. Then he said in a voice, which I could have sworn was Alice Ambler's, it was so low and sweet:

"I think you have never met me before, although you have known me for years." This was amazincr, alrno t alarming, and I gazed at her features · intently. Her eyes were beautiful, large, dark an I expres ive , Helen Pax on's eyes. Her nose was straight and cute, beautifully formed, fac- imile of Virginia Brown ' s; while her hair waved and rippled, and shone like Kathryn Powell' . A light began to dawn upon my perplexity.

"Yo u are our ideal girl, aren't you?" I cried.

"Good gues ," he answered and miled. Mary Yarnall's curncl and full like Mary's, although the teeth between the reel even a Adele Scott's . Adele has the prettie t teeth in the class.

mile again, with a mouth lips were teeth as white and

"Do excuse me for starting so,'' I exclaimed, "but really, it is such fun to recognize your features."

" uppo e we sit down and talk everything over," she suggested, and so we did, the ideal girl with an ea y grace again suggestive of Adele.

" It mu t be splendid to be graceful,'' I sighed.

·•\\' ell, it' no t much credit to me, for you girls made me o,'' he answered. Then , ' 'Oh will you ever forget how Bertie Coyne showed us true grace?" No, I never shall, for didn't our bles eel hi torian practice at school sliding clown the bani ter of the back stairs, and alighting crracefully on one toe? But unfortunately at her fir t performance before an appreciative audience he did not alight graceiully, and there were several more points of contact than one toe. So, poor Bert did not get the most graceful, and Edith Baker won as the clumsie t (at which Bert might have had a chance).

"I suppose," I began after a pause "that you are as generous as Ruth, as witty as Bertha, as versatile as Kathryn, as hard a student as Pauline, as lovable as Mary Yarnall."

"Yes," she agreed, "and as dainty and original as you." I said "Bosh!" and frowned. She mocked me. Her frown was so exactly like l\Iary Sproul' s three cute little vertical wrinkles, that I laughed outright.

"You see," she continued "although I have many good qualities, I am really the most contrary person, for none of me was meant for the rest of me," and she lapsed into a rather gloomy silence.

"I've been wondering," I said, "how it is about things which are opposites, whether yo u are as lazy as K., or a s energetic as Emma, for instance ?"

"I am just half way between," she said, "I'm just half way between being as angelic as Alice Ambler, and as wicked as Mary Sproul. It' s the same way with my feet ," thrusting that pretty member forward for inspection, "they are exactly half way between Edith Baker' and Elizabeth Yocum' ."

"Yennie Yocum has the tinest feet," I replied . "Oh by the way, whom do you like best among the boys?"

"Edw in Perrott, Jr., " she answered without h es itation, "a nd I think he ' the best-looking;" and this was not strange, for Edwin had been voted the mo st popular and the handsomest boy. Then she added, as though anticipating my que tion:

"Of the teachers my favorites are, Prof. Barrett, oh isn 't he dandy? Next Prof. Taylor, and Miss Fetzer, and Miss Baker, just alike. And weren ' t you pleased that Helen Paxson was voted the prettiest brunette and Adele, the prettie t blonde? And the h onor girls-of course Virginia K. the spoon; Bert the bowl, and Peggy the plate, and as I told Peggy I know she will soon have that plate full of ears of hot Shoepeg corn."

"Do you know ," I said, "you are almost as much of a talker as Alice Mcllwee !"

"Thank you." She smiled Mary Yarnall's mile. 74

"And," I continued, "you have the nices manners, like Ethel Borden's."

Just then I dropped a chocolate bud that I had in my handkerchief. She picked it up, fingered it a minute in her plump well rounded, little hand, (Helen Paxson's hand) then deliberately peeling off the tinfoil, popped it into her mouth.

"Well, I like your nerve," I cried; regardless of slang.

"Yes," she replied, "my nerve is equal to Adele ' s." And then we both laughed, for Adele Scott was voted the nerviest girl. Then she added, "I mu t leave you now and go to Virginia. I am visiting each girl this afternoon. Dear V. D. K. I wonder what '07 wou1d have been without her! I'm so glad she was unanimously voted to have done most for the class! Do you remember her answer to the question of 'Did you ever think, and when'?"

Virginia had said that she thought hardest in the lunch store, whether to "spend two cents for a little round chocolate-iced spi<;e cake , o r two twi sty , salty , penny-pretzels." We bo th laughed at the recoll ection.

" 'vVell , I must say good-bye."

" h, don ' t go yet , you'r e just like one of the girls." But even as I protested, she rose, displaying a good figure , neat and stylish, Aletha's.

" Don't mind,' he said, "you know I'd love to stay and do anything you'd like me to, if I could ."

" I suppose that is Julia's good disposition cropping out ," I replied disconsolately, "but it doe s n ' t help me any. Oh, can ' t you stay? You are just the spirit of dear '07; you ' re as cute as Crumb and as pretty as K, and as-" :

" Ye s ," s he s aid , " I am. " And with a smile in her dark eye s she gave my hand a little queezc , and was gone , gone-

But what wa s the matter ; why was I stretching and waking up ; why had I such an excited feeling? Ah, yes; I remembered. Our Friends' Central career was not quite over, for to-day was the Class Day of '07. THERESE DORRANCE SPACKMAN . 75

E now come to what is, perhaps, the most useful part of our exercises. l\Iany valuable facts can be _ discovered from statistics, and who knows what information may be contributed to science by the stati tics of a long line of classes of Friends ' Central, among which, no doubt, Nineteen-Seven, as the most representative class, will stand pre-eminent.

Turning then to our measurements, the average age of our fourteen members of the boys' section is 17 years, 8_½ months; the average height, 5 feet, 7 _½ inches, the limits being set by Hillary, 6 feet, .½ inch, and Rambo, 5 feet s.½ inches. In weight we range from Joe Miller's 202 _½ pounds of avoirdupois to Carpenter's u6 _½, the average being 141 _½ . The color of our hair is clas ed a brown, although ranging from Rambo's sandy to Adamson's and Birdsall 's raven tresses. Birdsall wished his classed as golden brown, but we could not please him in this. The colors of our eyes are as follows: grey, 5; brown, 3; blue, 3; green, 2; hazel, I.

Let us now turn to some of the celebrities in our clas . In the e timation of his classmen, the best looking boy is Dobbins; -Perrott, who thinks he is, being outstripped by one vote. The brightest boy by practically unanimous consent is Bert Rambo. However, the statistician divides honors with him, for they claim that I am the wor t grind. This shows what a studious class we are, for I study on the average three-quarters of an hour per clay. Birdsall thinks he is the smartest.

The contest for the best athlete was close between Garrison and Jack on, the former winning by a few votes, and Pe_rrott coming in third . The honors of being the most conceited fell to Birdsall, with Perrott again a close second. For the laziest, Dobbins won

oYer Adamson by a few counts. Heacock gave Carpenter a hard contest for the most dignified, but with Billie's overcoat against him, he had to give up. The wittiest was a walkover for Joe l\liller: the sportiest for Hillary in remembrance of several of his neckties. Through his work on the "Blue and Gray," Class Record, and his general indefatigability, and his achievement in getting an ad. for the "Blue and Gray" from the Baldwin Locomotive \York , Carpenter has won the distinction of being the greatest genius among a class of geniu es. It would probably be supposed that the biggest grafter and the best politician were one and the same person, but strange to say, this is not the case. The former goes to Perrott and the latter to Jackson, for obvious reasons. We would like to call attention to the coincidence that Hillary is the most cheerful liar, and also our ladies' man. We wonder if there is any connection . (We later learned that there is a mistake somewhere for, according to the girls, Perrott has this honor.) Hillary also thinks he is the biggest devil, but thi , by a trange jest of Fate, has fallen to Samuel Bunting, with Adamson as a poor second. The happiest boy in the class is l\liller, the saddest Birdsall. Birdsall is also the worst grouch. There is no second choice in this, it is even unanimous. Adamson is said to be the big<Yest bluffer, with myself second, perhaps because I gained the reputation of being the biO'gest ()'rind. Perrott has done the most for the class by conducting class meetin<YS in such an orderly way. He has also done the mo t for the school.

In the estimation of the masculine element, Ethel Borden is the most popular girl with l\lary proul econd. The race for prettiest girl ended in a tie between Virginia Brown and Kathryn Powell. l\fary Sproul is the cutest, with four votes, the rest were distributed among several others. Probably if there had been more boys , every girl would have received at least one vote. uch, at least, were the indications.

The most popular teacher among the boy s is Professor Barrett, with Professor Thompson second. (Regarding the 1110 t popular teacher, we have come to the conclusion that we do not know any of the teacher well enough t o render a fair decision and we have, there-

fore, decided to postpone awarding this much-sought honor until we become better acquainted.)

To the question, What is 'your idea of haP{Jiness ? we received, among others, the following answers:

Hillary: Chestnut Street.

Heacock: Moonlight night and a pretty girl.

What is 'your idea of misery ?

Adamson: An examination with two teachers in the room.

Garrison: Studying chemistry.

Heacock: Carbon bisulphide.

vVhat is the greatest benefit yoa have recei1:cd ?

Miller: Knowledge. (That's the proper spirit, Joe.)

Hillary: Learned how to have a good time.

Heacock: Learning how to graft.

What is the greatest achie'Ve mc•nt ?

Heacock: Learned how to ride a pony.

The rest of us agree that graduating will be our greatest achievement, ifWhat pai-t of 31onr school course have 31011 7/l0St cnjo3 1ed ?

Adamson: The part in my hair.

Birdsall: "A" French.

Carpenter: Recess Monday and Friday in Class A.

(You must ask the girls for explanation of the last two.)

What part have you least enjoyed '!'

Bunting: Dobbins in Chemistry.

The rest of us: Paying class dues.

T¥hy are yoii glad yon are in '07 ?

Adamson: l\lisery soon over.

Hillary: Because of the Washington trip, with P inochle!

Perrott: Because it is the only class I wa~ ever in.

TV/wt is :vour ambition ?

Heacock: To make gold bricks .

Hillary: To have a bald head.

Miller: To get rich quick.

What lii11d of a girl do :von like best ?

Adamson: One who sees good in the dark.

Miller: Pretty, jolly and loving.

From this modest summary, you may gain some idea of what a remarkable Class Nineteen-Seven really is.

T is with g r eat pleasure that I now make a small presentation to each girl; just something by which she may remember the school and the good times connected with it. It will be of little u e, girls, for you to become offended, for I am now only wreaking my just revenge on my classmates.

ALICE H. AMBLER: Alice is our quiet girl. She has a very sweet disposition and is always willing to do anything for anybody, but Jots of the girls are not well acquainted with her because she is rather bashful. Now, Alice, I want you to be better known to the girls, so I present you with this drum . Make a noise with it and attract all the attention you can, and the girls will find out how nice you are.

EpITH HARRIET BAKER: Did you ever hear Edith coming through the hall? It doesn't make any difference whether you see her or not. You can tell her a mile off by her foot-step. Oh, it is awful! It wears out the floor so fast. Edith, the best thing we could think of to give you was a lamp to lighten your foot-steps. Here, take this and let me see how light ly you can go down those steps.

ETHEL M. BORDE Hasn't Ethel a real air of responsibility? he is our little mother. When anyone gets hurt or needs help, Ethel is always at hand to give assistance. Et h el , in be h alf of t h e class, I g ive you th i s babycoach and t h ese dolls . The babycoach is not for your own use, you understand, b u t for the dolls, who signify the girls of this class. May you always take good care of t h em.

J. VIRGINIA BROWN: Now, Virginia, you seem to have a hard time to get seats for t h e plays, so I am going to give you this shad . This is one you can always keep and have t h e w h ole row (roe) to yourself.

IARION R. BUCHA TAN: l\Iario11 is extremely neat, but somehow she has a little curl of willful hair which protects her medulla oblongata. She calls this "My Bi r die," so the mo ~t suitable and useful thing in my estimation was a bird cage to keep your "Little Birdie" safely under control.

ALETH S. BURBA TK: Aletha is our most stylish girl, but somehow she has a tendency for country life. Here is a coop , Aletha, to keep a hennery (Hen ry) since you are so fond of chickens. I also thought this bag might be of some use to you to keep your jacks-in (in).

l\1ARION G. COCK: Marion is a harmles little creature and cause much fun for us at times. Iarion, I'm sure you will acknowledge that you get very excited at times, and it seem most fitting for me to give you this soothing syrup. Take a tablespoonful every time you feel yourself getting excited.

JULIA vV L H COGGE HALL: Julia goes out at night a great deal. Sometimes he tays too late and the family o-o to bed. Then Julia has some trouble getting in. To avoid future trouble, I have procured a skele t on key and also this dark lant ern so that you may be ure to find the keyhole.

BERTHA S. COYNE: ·when I began to think of presentations for class day, Bert stopped eating pickles and crullers for lunch, but I have not forgotten and here is a pickle and a c rull er to make you feel like old times again. Now, Bert, I felt that you were so popular and cona-enial with everyone that I would make you the blue ribbon girl of the cla , so please accept this with my best wi hes and make a bow to th.e audience. By the way, Bert, you are blu hing a little. Do you remember that bet we made? Well, I think you owe me a few cents, ask the girls?

AN A GRISCOM: l\Iy, but Anna does study! She says she has to because she 1s

going to college and expects to graduate with lots of hono r s. Here is a thermometer , Anna, and it is my si n cere wish that yo u may gain as many degrees as possible without getting too hot .

PAULINE R. FAY: If you ever see Pauline without a piece of pie except in class or on the street, yo u may fee l proud to t h ink that you have seen what few other have seen . It would be a shame to let all th is audience behold you without seeing you in your most natura l occupation, so I bought you a piece of pie all for yourself. Please taste it for the amu ement of the audience.

DOROTHY VOORHIS HOPK I NS: Did you ever watch a n yone coquette with a crow? It's lots of fun! No one ·ever dares to make eyes at Dot, because she looks o much like a boy in disguise, but t h is crow of hers is a wise o l d bird and you ought to watch theni together . Now, Dot, crows come high if you buy stuffed ones, but I got thi one so t h at you can show the ladies how you speak to a crow.

MARGARET P. KEEN : Watch Marga r et blush f Isn't she red? Well, this is entirely natural. But Margaret, you have my sympathy, so I will give you this box of powder, which I am sure wi ll be of great benefit to you in the future.

VIRGINIA D. KEENEY: Now, V . D. K., which will thee choose? A two-cent ginge r cake or two penny p r etze l s? Now speak a piece for the ladies rea l fast. Wouldn't you think she would be exhausted? Well, s h e will someday and then she'll miss her voice. He r e, V. D. K., is a talking machine , so thee can li sten to thy artificial voice w h en thy own voice gives out.

ALICE H. McILWEE: Have you ever not iced A l ice's liking for jewelry ? She seems to like the la r ge heavy pieces best. Now, A lice, I bought you a few a r ticles which I thought you might like to wear o n state occasions as t h is.

FLORENCE E. MOWLDS: This is our fresh air fiend-every class has one. They are not rare. It is not her fault that she wants air; it is ours because we wear summer clothes in the midst of winter while Florence dresses hygienically. The question is, shall we roast or freeze Florence? They say a hot death is worse than a cold one, so, Florence, please accept this windmill. Sit under it when in motion and you will be conscious of most ia vorable effect .

HELEN PAXSO : Helen i our most distinguished girl. Hasn't she a stately walk?

Last year, Helen, you used to come to school in an automobile, but this year you have been running for train that won't wait like autos. Since your taste has been turning toward brown (Brown), I am going to give you this brown automobile , chauffeur or not as you choo e.

KATHRYN S. POWELL: You would think after all the long years of school she ha experienced, that Kathryn would learn to be at school at nine o'clock. But alas! not so: he is frequently late. To remedy this failing I got you some thyme. Put this in the ole of your shoe and you will always be on time (thyme).

I GELI E J. POWER: Will you please laugh for the ladies and gentlemen? There, that' fine. I n't that a hearty laugh? No wonder you are always happy and hungry, rumb. Your favorite condition seems to be a broken state, so I give you this glue so that you will never have to ay, "I'm broken," again.

CLARA PRICE: Here is the belle of our class. Hasn't she the most fascinating way of rolling her head? And she is so kittenish! Ju t watch her and you can see for your elf. The most appropriate presentation for a girl of your disposition, Clara, is a kitten, and here is the bell , which is not intended for the kitten, but for you.

ELIZABETH EV ANS PRICE: Elizabeth lives in the country, but that's no disgrace.

I just want tO say she comes in on the train. missing her train back fo school, only to find here is a chain . Wear it around thy neck, and time, trains and money . She is forever Josi ng her ticket and then it in her desk where she left it. Elizabeth , carry thy ticket always to avoid the loss of

EDNA ADELE SCOTT: Of course, this is a peculiar time to talk of furs, but Adele, you seemed burdened with a superfluous amount of furs last winter. There seemed to be no place at school large enough to keep them, since they could not be forced into a goodsize desk. It was really a pity to have those furs knocking about everywhere, so now I am going to give you this wardrobe with lots of wall and floor space to keep your furs in. This one you can carry with you as a convenience.

HELEN SENSE" DERFER: Here ' our bluffer, but I am not going to give her a pony, because that's an old horse by thi time. Sensy, I have something better than that for you. Let me see your hand. Yes, I knew you looked hungry. Here are some more na ils. These are more durable and you can chew them without feelin<Y the loss.

RUTH C. SHARP: If you merely look at Ruth, you can tell what we are going to give her. You know it is so much trouble for the photographer to remove all those freckles. If I were in his place, I would charge extra for the picture alth u <Y h she really won "t be natural without them. Here is an effective remedy. But, Ruth, do not put too much on at one time. It will cause a pale appearance which will make you paler when you see yourself.

MARGARET SHOEMAKER: Here is our star athlete. If you had been over in the new gymnasium on March 15th, the date of the gymnasium contest, you would have een some excellent work done and beautiful honors presented to Peg . She just walked right into the middle of the floor after the contest and received three silver cups. Peg, since you could not keep those cups for yourself, I procured one for you that you can keep,

and this is a mark of appreciation on the part ot the girls of the class for the honors you have gained in their behalf.

THERESE D. SPACKMAN: Ladies and gentlemen, you are now looking at the most origina l and daintiest member of the Class of Nineteen-Seven. When I say original, I don't mean like the original man, but origina l in ideas. Now, Therese has a special inclin ation for fakirs, probably because she is from New Jersey. They are quite a novelty there. There e, you are the one who almost caused a nervous breakdown on the part of one of the physics teachers some time ago by brinrring a huge spider to class. Now, since you are so fond of reptiles and insects, I- will present you with this cameleon as an addition to your famous collection.

MARY L. PR UL: Mary is going to be a kindergarten teacher. I'm sure of that because she is so fond of children. Even in Washington she picked up some rare ally specimens. Now this doll won't act like a real child, of course, but it will serve to amuse you when no children can be had, and will be effective in attracting the attention of small urchins, whose company you may desire.

MARION STOCKTO : Every time we have a holiday, Marion always comes to school the day before all "fussed" up to go to West Point. It must be a nice place up there. I wonder what the attractions are. Even though you do get passes on some railroads, I thought this ticket to \i\Test Point mirrht be of use to you at some future date.

MARY MARGUERITE SIMPSON TAYLOR : Marguerite has grown several years in one winter. Unfortunately she has not grown upward. The most prominent of Marguerite's adult touches is a net which she has adopted to keep her hair in curl. Here, Marguerite, i a net, not exactly like your own because yours are frail, and this will last as long a you continue to wear a net.

MARY TUTTLE: You ought to see us stand in line , waiting after school to get a glance in th e mirror. It requires patience and lots of it , and it is all Mary ' s fault. Mary, here is a m i rro r. Please make the best use of it by carrying it with you in your pocketbook , thus preventing delay on the part of the majorit y o f the class after two o ' clock.

EMMA YARNALL : Here is the baby of the clas s, not a baby in manners , but a baby in age. Emma is our bright girl and it s eems fooli s h t o g ive her this baby cap and b ib , but babies can be bright, too, you know. Now, Emmie , this is really an honor. To think you are graduating when you are only -- ; oh, I would never tell your age to all this audience .

MARY YARN ALL: I think Mary is our most affectionate classmate. Hasn ' t she the sweetest face and she fixes her hair so artistically. She is just dear, and we all love her. Mary has a little bank at home which she prizes very highly. You ought to see her shake it to see how fast those pennies are accumulating. If I give you these pennies , Mary, you will please drop them into this bank and show the people how you do it at home.

ELIZABETH YOCUM: Yennie, show your feet to the ladies and gentlemen . . I wonder how many people in the audience could beat thi s . Shoes ought to be cheap when they come that small. However, here is a pair of rubber s, ju s t your size. I might ha v e bought you shoes , but as you are frequently misplacing your overshoes , these will be more valuable, and you can keep them in your pocket so as to have them hand y .

HELEN MOROT SUPLEE.

1inya ' Jrrarntatinna

ELLOWS, now I have you all just where I want you. Now I can tell you what I think of you and you dare not get mad. But don't mind me in the least, for I am as harmless as a lion. .

\VILLI M L. ABBOTT: Allow me to introduce to you all a future great a trologer. Thi fellow will tell you more of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and the other planets, with all their satellites than the man who first discovered them. So, now, in appreciation of the fact that you will be a great benefit to science in the future, I present you with this telescope to aid you in your research.

AU TIN AUBREY ADA.11ISON: Kindly take riotice to the three A's at the beginning of each of his name . ounds like an advertisement for some horse medicine, doesn't it? Addie is from the far distant land of Jersey, and intends to become a full fledged farmer. ow, with thi hoe, rake and sp a de, I want you to promise that you will raise prize tomatoe . corn and pumpkins.

LA \VRE CE E. BIRDSALL: Lawrence has one bad fault. He is too hot headed and gets mad too quickly. With the aid of this i ce bag I do hope he will be able to cool down.

SAMUEL J. BUNTING, JR.: Watch how the poor child blushes, as this is his first appearance before a large audience. Sam has never indulged in any rough-house tactics usually enjoyed by other fellows, but instead has become an expert jackstone player. So to save him from any further exertion than is necessary I will give him this doll and suggest that he take aood care of it and treat it as a mother should.

WILLIAM S. CARPENTER : I certainly had a job to settle on something for Willie. But on the day when he gave up his editorship of the Blue and Gray he looked so sad that my heart went out for him and I decided to set him up in business for himself. So he r e is your printing press , now go and start a paper of your own.

ROYAL B . DOBBINS: All through the years we have been together in class; it has been one long struggle to know what Royal has been talkina about. He is eithe r too tired to talk or ta l ks so low that no one ca n ever hear him. With the aid of this megaphone, kindly make yourself heard in life.

GEORGE D. FUSSELL: George is a new member of our class this year, and has no bad faults . He hails from that school at Broad and Green Streets, commonly known as. the Boys' High School. So to show there is no hard feeling I give you now the colors of the new and the old.

ENGLEBERT H. GARRISON: Here is another member of our class from that much pitied and despised state. You all know the rest. Bert has a reg u lar bed time and is so awfully sleepy after that time that he finds it a ha r d matter to keep awake. Take this. p illo w then, and go get a good sleep.

CHARLES Vv. HEACOCK: This sort of fellow is known among the boys as a "Fusser," or as the more civilized people would express it a "Ladies Man." But on the other hand, as an orator he is unexcellecl . Why, friends, some of his speeches would have caused Cicero to turn green with envy and the body of Patrick Henry to turn in his grave if they could but have heard them . Here is a book of speeches by famous men, now go and see for yourself if your own orations do not put them in the shade.

\VALTER H. HILLARY: Here is an authority on all matters of religious history, etiquette. weddings, dances, dress. mythology and in fact anything you wish to know. He

always expre es him elf in language that would put a dictionary to shame. But his neckti es are the most important feature. They speak for themselves. With these few which I have selected and which I think suit your complexion, I hope you will be able to keep up your former O'OOd record.

HENRY W. JACKSON: I have known Jack ever since he and I were six years old. Then he was a quiet little chap. But times have changed and he is now a daring chauffeur. This machine is a six-cylinder, forty horse power, water cooled, 1907 model, three speeds forward and one backward . Here, then, is a machine in which you can safely r ide without fear of breaking down twenty miles from a repair shop.

ED\YI \V. PERROTT, JR.: This is our class President, quite a handsome boy. But he seems to know it and carries himself with such a great amount of dignity that I thought it best to get him a mirro r so that he can always look his best.

BERTRAM P. RAMBO: Last but not least. He is the sailor of our class and can man a boat with the best of Old Tars. Now I do hope he will not give up, but with this boa t will some day lift Sewell Cup on Barnegat Bay as now seems to be h is one desire.

LL aboard for Washington! is heard and a car full of jolly, laughing girls pulls out of Broad Street Station, amid fond glances and waving of hand s to parents and hearty F. C. S. yells of our noble youths. It was the twentieth of March, nineteen hundred and seven, at three-twenty P. M. that the memorable trip wa started.

Shall we say the ride down was a quiet one? Well, that would be slander. But it was a jolly one. Some very studious maidens, in company with our little girl chaperon, racked their brains to make rh yme about the poor lads of the class left behind, and by the time the trip was completed they were finished. Two groups of four in each played 500 for the championship, but to my knowledge it was not decided. The candy, home-made and otherwise, for a while flowed like water, but, most strange, the current was soon checked. Where it went, of cour se, no one could guess .

As we approached wonderful Washington there was a general scramble to get the right coat and hat for the right person, and of cour e your suitca e was at the bottom of the pile in the back of the car. We filed off the train like a grand opera troupe, exuberant over our coming engagement. Our special automobile awaited outside the station, and up we filed, being viewed by an all-admiring crowd of standers-by. "My, what a clean city!" wa on every lip as we majestically rolled out Pennsylvania avenue. Upon reaching the hotel we were greeted by a swarm of black porters and some inquisitive glances from windows here and there. Two by two we marched up to the d es k and received a key to our rooms for that evening . There wa great distress, at first, in camp becau se we were sca ttered from the third to the sixth floor, and that would never hav e done. After a few complaints were entered at the desk we were fixed more uitably. Some tried to get off a little of the Pennsylvania Railroad dirt, then put their hats on again and ate supper. They gave us a dining-room all to ourselves, with four long tables , each

able to accommodate eight, but some nine. The poor waiters, I know, thought, " othing doing for us," when they beheld our tribe; but some learned different in the course of our stay. Our little girl chaperon, viz., Miss Baker, graced our table and kept eight bad maidens in a continuous giggle during the meal with her many amusing stories. Two tables beyond was our motherly chaperon, viz., Mis Sawyer, with her three faithful followers and the only four who could sport spring clothes.

After much chattering and a hurried dinner we again boarded our machine, and this time bound for the Library. What a beautiful building it is! All we could do was to look up and ay, "Be-au-ti-ful !" or "\i\Ton-der-ful !" In one place we saw the words, "Knowledge is Power,'' and ever sine it ha been a question in our mind whether you could turn the phrase to read, ' 'Crumb Power is Knowledge." We wandered about in little groups, and many were the tales each group would tell. I was . told that only readers were allowed in the first floor of the reading-room, but Peg and K . walked around taking everything in as if they were foreign princesses who owned the Library themselves. Ask Margaret and Virginia what happened in the Library. They would love to tell you. As luck would have it, we were required to leave at ten o'clock, so we did not get a very thorough view of it all. Upon reaching the hotel, Emma Yarnall informed u that she would be at home ready to receive guests when we were ready to come to her man ion. There were a great many postals sent, and then slmdy a few girls would wander down the corridors and enter the elevator. The poor elevator men never worked so hard in all their live , I know.

As the majority had a different bedfellow each night, it wa a question where to keep your clothes, but it wa finally decided. I know of quite a few rooms that played as dressing-rooms for three or four, while only two slept there.

After much maneuvering around the labyrinth of halls and up and down steps, an array of Japanese o-irls met in Em's room. The lights were extinguished and Miss Hopkins delivered a brief ghost tory. A tap was heard at the door, the lights were put on and then the door was

opened, to behold a light-haired Jap dressed becomingly in green. he informed u- of the fact that a complaint had been 'phoned to the office, and they in turn had 'phoned to her, o we must be more quiet. It wa growing late. o we disper ed shortly. But many a poor creature wa roaming about those halls even in the wee hour , trying to locate her room.

THURSDAY, March 21, 1907.

At seven o'clock the 'phone rang informing us of the fact it was getting-up time. Vve did get up, but some were tired already, for they had talked until three or four in the morning. Again there was running through the halls to locate rooms, and some were late for breakfast, of course. We left the hotel, not on time, for the Capitol. Our guide, Ben. in the Capitol, wa . he thought, a very witty man; but we thought differently. We all enjoyed the little trip, th0twh, immensely, and if we should ever forget the Capitol, we will NOT Ben . The next on the program was to revisit the Library, but, strangely, quite a few in groups here and there wandered down town and shopped some. It was rather enjoyable finding your way about in a strange city, but we all reached home in good time for lunch.

After lunch we again boarded a car, this time for the Mount Vernon Electric Station. We had our own private car for Mount Vernon, and we again experienced a fine ride . Oh, may every one who visit's George's home be as well entertained as we! The day was beautiful and we felt fine, consequently every nook and corner was well examined. Our friend in the Banquet Hall was the best ever. We all thought \ T . D. K. was a record-breaker for quick talking, but he puts her decidedly in the background. The walk along the river was great; but how our few sailors wished for their yachts!

With great regret we said farewell to George and his friends and straggled to our car. Tho e not wi bing to sit within tood on the back platform and entertained the conductor with some choice ballads. ·At Alexandria, after much effort. we procured two boxes of Zu-Zus, but they were no sooner opened than they disappeared. Did any one mention that we were a hunrrry

crowd? When we reached the city some came straight home, others wandered about town again and at the late hour of six came home with marvelous pasteboard contrivances, viz., flyer . It appeared that they had been amusing themselves along the street , sending these arrangements into the air.

As a dance followed dinner, we appeared in evening dre . Every one wa eating and talking at once, when, all of a sudden, there was a lull-as Miss Brown, very much decollete, and Margaret Keen, in suit and waist, entered the room. We resumed the dinner, and then to the dance. Ethel Steck very kindly played for us, not only dance music, but some other beautiful selections. Dancinrr was not the entire feature of the evening. \Ve had a delightful deaf and dumb passbear game. Em Yarnall's side won two games straight, then Ethel Borden's two, but Em rrained the champion hip by winning fifth . Mr. Darnell, our guide, very kindly kept score. ome performed with their flyers, and then followed "Farmer in the Dell" and "Around the l\'l.ulberry Bush." It wa somewhat iate, and we should get ready for the feast, a Japanese kimona party, to be held at midnight, in Room 54 and 55, by Misses Burbank and Yarnall and Messr . Powell and Coyne . Our costumes were donned, and down we went to the third floor. .

My, how fine everything was! In the middle of the room wa a table with a va e of beautiful American beauties; every one asked, as they entered, "Oh, where did you get the pretty flowers?" Some one would kindly shout, "Garry sent them to Mary. " Now, wa n't that just too lovely for anything? We were requested to be seated , and were handed picnic plate and paper napkins. Then the hosts and ho tesse waited on their guest . There was everything imaginable to eat, and we ate it all, too. Do you know, we even had lemonade!

In the morning we had been informed by the occupants of I 18 that they had had a very thrilling experience the night before. The man next to them became very irate, and actually swore real swear-words. Thereupon this evening four or five went down there to hear the performance, but the gentleman was not in his room , and his wife only gave a small selection. So we trotted off to our respective rooms to talk some more.

FRIDAY, March 22, 1907.

This morning was an exceedingly interesting one, for we visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printino-, Smithsonian Institute, Tational l\Iuseum and nited States Fisheries. The money we saw floating around was all very carefully caged from our reach. As I mentioned, everything was very interesting, but it was as hot as--, and we were pretty well tired out. After lunch our automobile took us around \Vashington. It is certainly a beautiful city, but please give me a cool, shady afternoon for sightseeing. \Ve were all very glad to reach home early and rest and clean up.

Baker, Burbank and Sproul wandered down town and had their faces taken on postals, with very good re nits. To-day wa Ede's birthday, and she was to have a surprise party. vVe were already informed of the arrival of the box, and that it would be opened in V. D. K.'s apartments when the folk returned from the theatre. The majority went to ee James Hackett in the "Walls of J cricho," but the minority had a grand old time turning things upside clown for the others.

When the majority had returned, after a delightful time at the play, and arrayed themselves in kimonos, we gave Ede her urpri e, and then for the "eats," as "Crumbie" says. We certainly enjoyed the little surprises the boys ent us. They were surpri es with a capital "S." At about three A. M. the la t of the bunch crawled into bed, and soon the hotel resounded with glorious nores which told of the good time we had had.

SATURDAY, March 23, 1907.

As u ual we were at the breakfast table( s) on time and left the hotel promptly (?) at ( ?) .

After a long, hot walk we reached Wa hington Monument; the elevator took the wise virgins both up and down, but the foolish viro-ins walked. The view from the top was truly "grand." Many picture were taken from the differem windows, mo t of which were very good. As we were rather ru hed, we had to omit the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and went to the United States Trea ury. Here we were divided into two parties. The party with Virginia Brown were mtro-

d ,teed by her to Treasurer Treat. It was indeed a "treat," and he told and howed us many interesting things. The other party wa taken into the Secret Service Department by a o-uide provided by the Assistant Secretary. 'vVe then met and went to the White Hou e. By thi time every one was so tired that we simply sat down on every available chair and gazed at the thing in plain sight. When we had "done" the White Hou e and caught a glimpse of Miss Ethel Ro sevelt, we wended our way hotelward-at least, most of us did. Some who still wanted remembrances wandered about town and strago-led in just in time for luncheon. fter luncheon there was a ·'grand old racket'' in the hotel. There was a great writing of letters to people we had almo t forgotten, and a few picture were taken out of the hotel windows. At the appointed time we were ready in our "wagon" with our suitca es, cameras and many packages. The ride to the station was indeed intere ting, but the adieux of the people of the hotel-including the porters, bell-boy and barber! On the way to the depot an awful man, standing about two yard away from the auto, threatened to take our pictures with a 2x4 camera. \"fl.Te all climbed aboard the train, leavino- poor "K." alone on the platform. The ride back wa a quiet one, except for the few ballads sung ( ?) by "Peg and Co." As we emerged from the train at Broad Street Station, a tired, ooty crowd, we saw a truck pass the car on the way to the gate, so we all threw our suitcases on it and honored the man by letting him drag them the whole length of the train. Some of us had great trouble in re cuino- our property. Our face brightened up when we reached the gate and found fond mothers and isters and our faithful '07 boy awaitino- us. We then parted with many reo-ret . A couple of nicknames stuck to the p ople as a con equence of the trip, Bert Coyne being called '·Tool''-why ?-and Ethel Borden ''Little Mother"-likewise why? We haven't decided whether "Knowledge" i suitable for "Crurnbie'' Power. \Ve shall never forget our good times and kind chaperones, or our patient, obliging guide, who so kindly sent us posters.

LAS! it is over. It is gone, never to return. But it will never grow old to us and will be a "Red Letter Day ," in the history of our class.

On the 26th of February in the year 1907, fifteen braves left Broad Street Station bound for Washington. True there was one who was sorry to see us going away and came to bid us a sad farewell . Then, there was still another who came and left a large mysterious box. What did it contain? No one knew. v\'hen should it be opened? Was it loaded? But on being assured that it was harmless it was carefully tucked away for future use.

Finally we started and so did many other things, including rough-house, trouble for Pete and last ; but not least, music ( ?) rendered by our quartet, Hillary and Lieberman (Silvertoned Tenors), and Perrott and Heacock (Bum Bassos). Then the wonderfully mysterious box, which had been a center of curiosity for so long, was opened . But it soon ceased to be an attraction for the candy it contained disappeared within five minutes.

We arrived safely in Baltimore and let everyone in the station know it by giving three hearty cheers for dear old Philadelphia. vVhen the train started again and the roll was called, Dobbins, Heacock and Perrott were among the missing . Had we not known the good habits ( ?) of thoie boys we should have suspected that something had happened. "That's all." Through one tunnel after another and still no sign of them until at last their faces appeared in the doorway wreathed in smiles and we are wondering to this day what her name is.

It was at this time that Hillary showed us about fifty Washington postal cards, which he had purchased at Wanamaker ' s and had addressed and written and stamped them all ready to be mailed when he reached Washington. This, he said, would save him time and trouble when he got there.

Finally someone sighted the Capitol and then there was a grand rush for coats, hats and baggage only to wait ten more long ir.inutes before we could begin the iege.

Yes, we had an auto to meet us, as gentlemen always do, but someone made a mistake in the hour of our arrival and the band was not on hand. Some one of the natives of the town was heard to ask, "Are these the new senators due to arrive here?" This is sufficient to show what an impression we made on the public at large.

After supper our private "automobile" appeared and we visited the "Congregational Library," as it was termed by one of the lower classmen on our return. We were all ready to make the start but Hillary, the "Beau Brummel" of our party, who had to changt! his traveling costume for his evening clothes. The entire change consisted of a new tie and a pair of "yellar" gloves. On our return to the hotel we remembered the dear ones left behind by sending beautiful postals. No, not only our parents, but also-well, it is no u:ee to speak of it further, judge for yourself who I mean.

Our fellows are all good Sabbath School members and know how to play only "Old Maids" and such harmless games, so Miller, Hillary, Rambo and Birdsall retired to pass away the early hours in the seclusion of Miller's room, where they would be permitted to enjoy the enchanting game in peace. No one of our party slept that night with the exception of " ammy," nor did any of the guests in the nearby rooms.

The next morning, the majority ( ?) of the party being up bright and early, we started out in our auto to show ourselves to the inhabitants. Our sleepy gentlemen, Jackson and Lieberman, failed to connect, although we broke a transom trying to get them up.

After our ride about the city we entered the sacred halls of the Capitol in time to see the Senate open. From there we went to the House, arriving in time to see "Uncle Joe" throw a gavel at a refractory mule from Missouri. The Supreme Court was our next stopping place, but we were forced to leave at once, owing to an insane desire on the part of Abbott to instruct one of the judges. And then we headed for the dome. Joe looked long

and earnestly at the top, far above his head, and he looked harder when he saw the endless line of steps leading heavenward. He stopped and was persuaded to go on only after being solemnly assured by several that he might never get nearer Heaven than this. There was ome trouble with '•Sister" and "\Villie" when we arrived at the top, but fortunately the wind ceased and with Miller' help w e re able to hold them safely to the platform.

That night we visited the theatre and were De-light-ed with the how as the President honored us with his presence. Upon our return to the hotel the majority wandered off to bed, while some continued the harmless amusement referred to above.

Thur clay was the bigge t clay of all. In the morning we , ·isitecl the Bureau of Printing and Engraving and the Treasury, but in the afternoon came our memorable trip to Mt. Vernon. \Ve succeeded in reaching the historic site and in seeing the hou e and grounds without adventure, but at \Vashington's Tomb the fun began, for it was here that we first saw the "dear." One with yellow feathers took the attention of most of us. Tho e who now go to this place of historic interest will perhaps encounter some difficulty in finding them, but to those who do succeed "It will certainly be an experience worth having! " They seemed to be awfully shy of a camera and refu ed to po e in the regular way, but by u ing the regular deer stalking methods some of the fellows succeeded in getting o-ood pictures.

After we got on the car things "began to be doing." Sister and i\Ionkey obtained a seat directly behind that of the "dear" and at once entered into conversation. The rest of us got together and made things lively with songs and cheers.

The songs came forth in awful tune and rhyme from our throats, from Mt. Vernon to Arlington Junction, where we tore ourselves from the e fair creatures and went to Arlington to teach Professor Baker how to throw snow balls.

When we arrived at the hotel, a second mysterious box awaited us. One man could not lift it and after a half hour's work with a cold chisel and a hatchet it was finally opened. The contents were not further divulged until 12.30 A. M. Pictures of the "Banquet Hall "

may be obtained on application to our President. When the contents were placed upon the table our eyes bulged at the sight. But in five minutes a box of stuffed dates and a large box of candy were missing. The dates were finally located in a drawer in Hillary's room, but the hiding place of the candy is forever lost. Let me stop here for a moment to tell of how one of our number discovered, as he himself informed us, that as his heart was weak and his pulse was beating low that he would be unable to attend our spread; and of a miracle that was nearly wrought by the flash light powder needed to secure the picture of our feast . Promptly at 1.30 A. M., when, after a half-hour's work by the official photographer, every one had his correct position for the picture, the bell in Room 513 was rung and, after a long wait, a dark gentleman appeared at the door and was given orders to touch it off. This he did, and when the light was again turned on some say he was four shades lio-hter from fright.

We next proceeded to a careful examination of the presents the girls had sent us. To enumerate them all is impossible. l\Iiller's bottle of "anti-Fat," Lieberman's rattle, Hillary's snake, Heacock's sausage, Perrott's bear, and many others showed how thoughtful they were of us.

Then the feast began and continued until the "Wee Sma" hours of the morning. Then after we had eaten our fill, we divided up in parties, some to do one thing and some to do another, but all voting our friends in F. C. S. a hearty thanks for the bountiful repast.

Our chemistry professors, Dobbin , Perrott and Fussel, the latter who knows how to manufacture the worst smells, continued to r:erform experiments for some time, much to the disgust of our sleepy members. And Professor Baker, whose room was the object of their kind attentions.

Fe S and H2 S04 smell.

After carefully emptying a package of assafoetida about Joe's room, Polly, Birdsall, I .ieberman and Hayseed retired to 25 for a quiet game of poker. But first a broken tran-

som and a torn up bed had to be repaired. Hayseed then retired , but the other three remained about the table until 5 o'clock, at which early hour they adjourned.

The next morning was spent in a visit to the White House, where, owing to a pressing engagement , the President was unable to see us. We then scattered , each one to go see some point he had missed.

At la t came the time for our departure from this town, the s cene of our varied joy. \iVhen we left the hotel n o one was sorry but ourselves, for we hated to end such a good time . But after posino- for another picture beside the train, in order that we might look like real touri t , and after cheering Washington and all there was in it , we settled back for the ride home. The time passed quickly as we were again favored by numerous musical selections by the Combined Glee Club .

When, on our arrival in Philadelphia, a tired and weary lot, with one final cheer we departed for our homes, all declaring we would not have missed it for a Carnegie medal.

0 say good-bye; officially for the class to say good-bye to the &acred hall of Friends' Central and all they contain; to say good-bye to all the familiar places about this school, which we have known for so many long years; to say good-bye to all the familiar form and faces dear to us through long years of plea ant association; to say the words which hall end our class's connection with the school and -with to-morrow ' s Commencement exerci es-sever the Cla s of ineteen- even from Friend ' Central School-that was what it gradually dawned on me that I must do to-day.

And what should I say? Where should I begin? My mind wandered back through the year till it reached the fall of 1902. From there my thoughts returned through the scenes and incidents of five long years of school life. Many things I aw. Constant change of faces and forms passed before my mental vision. Old faces disappeared, new ones took their places. Varied influence came, did their work upon our minds and nature and then went. But through it all I could feel one influence which was always pre ent, alway felt . It wa that of our teachers.

To endeavor to tell what they have done for us i u ele . Those of you who have forever left behind you the period of your life which had to do with chool and school affairs , know, from the vantage point of the intervening year , the inestimable ervice your teacher did for you. Those of you who are still clas ified by the term undergraduates would scoff at anything I could ay and laurrh at any advice I could give just as I, or any other member of '07, would have clone a year or two ago. Therefore I will not mention any oi the services our teachers have done forus, but will simply thank them in the name of the Cla s of Nineteen-Seven for all that they have done in order to bring us to the point in life' path at which we now stand , and give to them our best wishes for like succe in the years to come. I 14

To the pupils of the lower classes I will say but little. We have, I think, been good friends together. We have had our contests and our differences, but they have all ended in good feeling. To you we must leave the future of Friends' Central. May you, profiting by our experience as we have tried to profit bythe experience of former classes, advance the name of Friends' Central even further than we have tried to do, and may your influence be exerted always for the honor of our school.

And now, classmates, what shall I say to you? As I look over your ranks I see many faces whose owners have been members of the class of 1907 since first it met as a class. Others have joined the faithful band as the years went by. But it is to all of you that I speak. All of you have shared in our sorrows and joys. From those who entered in E to those who entered in A you are all a part of the class of 1907.

We have, without doubt, lived happily together . True, we have had our little disagreements and troubles, but time has smoothed them all over and there is no one of us who can look back and point out anything which has led to a serious quarrel.

We have had in our class life many happy moments and many pleasant times. There have been victories over other classes and there have been victories over other schools in which our clas has had a share of the glory. There have been many sociables and class gatherings which stand out clearly among our recollections of happy times. And last, but not least, there are the Washington trips. either we or the weary inhabitants of Washington will soon forget the thing we did or the fun we had.

But, cla smates, as you well know, it has not been one long path of roses over which we trod. The roses have been many, and many of these were exceeding sweet and fragrant. But among all these roses have been many thorns and some have pricked us deeply. Most have been superficial scratches, such as misunderstandings with teachers or classmates or some of the many little troubles which one must daily meet. Others, more seriou , have pricked still deeper and lasted still longer.

These have all seemed more or less serious to us at the time at which they occurred. Time, h wever, has lessened the sting of all and to-day they are spoken of with but lauo-hing regret. But there is one sorrow which has cast a gloom over our last days and bound us together with ties of sadne s which will last long after the joy of our chool days are forgotten.

Never did prospects for a happy vacation seem o bright as when we left chool on Friday, December 21, 19o6, for our Christmas holidays. And never did a vacation end so sadly. For on January 2, when we returned to school, it wa to find one face mis ino-, and to learn that one form, which had for nearly five years been one of u in our joy and orrows, would never again be with us. Albert Keller had died at midnight on the fir t day of the year. The first day of hi graduation year had pa sed and hi soul had pas ed with it. Clas mates, we did not know his value until he had gone. Then we realized what his cheerful smile and willing hand had been to us. Then we realized what sorrow is. Over u the black-winged Angel of Death pa sed and since then no joy have been able to dispel the gloom.

Classmates, Friends, Comrade , I mu t say good-bye. For you I ay good-bye to Friend ' Central and all in it whom we have known. To the teachers and member of the lower cla e I ay good-bye. To you, cla smates, I say good-bye. But may none of the e good-bye be final. May we alway remember and keep the friendships we have formed with each other and may we alway remember to be loyal to Friends' Central and to the clas of '07.

1907 in ilrhatr

S has frequently been said by those who know us , Nineteen-Seven has been a mo · t unusual class. This has been shown especially in the debating-team.

In the beginning of our C year we sent out three candidates for the schoo! team . This year Edwin W. Perrott, Jr. , became alternate on the chool team. Birdsall and Bunting also tr ied for the team, but both missed it. As F. C. S. lost this debate there were no more outside contests this year.

However, this year began the inter-color debates and a Gray and Blue team wa chosen from each class . In our class the Grays had the affirmative of the question, Resolved: " That capital punishment should be abolished ," and came out with flying color .

In our B year the school had two debates and with the exception of Louis Coffin, 'o6, we found that we must, contrary to the usual course of events, shoulder the honor of F. C. S. alone. The first debate we won from Haverford Grammar School. The que tion was , Resolved : " That Modern Business Methods are, in their Fundamental Principle , Contrary to the Christian Ideas of Right Conduct and Morality," and Friends' Central upheld the negative . The team was Lawrence E. Birdsall, Edwin W. Perrott, Jr., and Lewis F . Coffin, ' 06, with Samuel J. Bunting, Jr., as alternate.

By virtue of this victory we debated Swarthmore Preparatory School. The team was. the same except that Albert S. Keller was the alternate. Swarthmore defended the affirmative of Resolved , "That Capital Punishment Should be Aboli bed in the United States." The deci ion was in favor of the affirmative, and we were disqualified from further debating for the year .

Now we had time for the inter-color debates. The Gray team wa composed of Bunting , Wm. S. Carpenter and Perrott. The Blue team, Walter H. Hillary and C. Wayne Heacock, upheld the city college against its country rival.

Now began our senior year, and with it a discontent with the present system of debate. Dr. Carver and Bunting were chosen to attend the annual meeting of the "Interscholastic Debating League." After much debating, this assembly decided that this year there should be three rounds of four, five, and four minutes r espectively. And under these rules we debated with Swarthmore Preparatory. Resolved: "That Theodore Roosevelt should be the candidate of the Republican Party in the next Presidential Campaign." Our team was composed of Birdsall, Perrott and Abbott, with Goshorn, 1908, alternate. We won after a hard fight, having upheld the negative.

At Christmas we were preparing for work again when we lost Albert Keller. He had always been a zealous supporter of the team and was not on it at Swarthmore only because he was busy as bu iness manager of the Blue and Gray. The debate work was brought to a tand till, and George School very kindly granted u an indefinite extension of time in which to submit a question. Much as we wish to thank them for their courtesy, we succeeded in submitting the question on time. It was: Resolved, "That Labor Unions as they now exist in the United tates, are more beneficial than detrimental to society." With the same peaker and in the same order and with Bunting as alternate, we put up what is generally regarded as the best fight in the anna l s of debating at Friends' Central. However, George chool, with the affirmative, was a little better and secured the verdict .

Those connected with our debate work who are in a posit ion to judge say, without reserve, that we have been a phenomenal class, surpassing all others that the "Old School" has ever known, and we wi8h to thank those who, beside the most active members, helped to make us what we are . The names worthy of note in this connection are Wm. S. Carpenter and W. H. Hillary. The others of the class deserve praise and gratitude for their upport and loyalty.

May Friends' Central soon have another that will be a championship class, but we feel none can equal 1907.

PLAYS

F anyone had been standing on the corner of 12th and Chestnut Streets at about 8 o'clock in the evening of either Friday, the 12th, or Saturday, the 13th, of April, he would have een crowds of belated ladies and gents decked out in gladdest rags, coming from all direction , and hurrying with exultant expectation toward the New Century Drawing Rooms. To draw such a multitude, something very unusual must, of course, have been on hand at the hall. And something unusual was on hand. The '07 Class of Friends' Central School was to give the first play ever given by any class outside of the school or adjoininO' building, and was to follow those plays by a dance, the first one in the history of F. C. S.

Those were ventures, but were we successful? Well, I reckon we were . Each night, after the performance, everyone told us that we'd done some of the best acting the school had ever put forth, but of course they said that because they felt in a good humor over the dance we were giving them.

Two plays were presented, "Cranks" and "A Case of Su pension," the casts of which may be een on the following page . "A Case of Suspen ion," a little comedy portraying some of the stolen joys of boarding school life, went with a gusto. Carpenter made an excellent professor, almost rivalling some of those at school, while "Ophelia" was incomparable as the old-fashioned school-marm. Kathleen and Jonas were also a happy pair.

The other play, "Cranks," written by Dr. Neall, got loads of laughs, too. The complications that result from Dare and Furlough stumbling into Mr. Gizzard's room in their attempt to find the apartment of a friend are as Miss Fairwold expresses it, " positively killing." Bird all portrayed the part of Dr. Gizzard, the crankiest crank, with perfect naturalness.

For the success of our efforts we wish to thank Dr. Neall, who, in spite of the duties of his r;rofe ion, coached the plays and brought them up to what they were.

HE athletics of the Class of Nineteen-Seven ha found an important feature in our general success. In Class E we did not have a basket ball team, that honor beino given in the D year.

In D we were not very successful, but we were till young, and our victories were yet to come. In C we won first place in the gymnasium contest, but in B we had to be satisfied with second place. We were much surprised and disappointed at being defeated by the 1909's in basket ba!J in our B year. The score was very clo e, being 6-4.

Our enior year has been more successful than any other. \Ve were Yictoriou in all our games except one. which we lo t to the r909·s in one of the three cup game . \\ e ucceeded, however, in winning the cup. Not atisfied with this. our gymna ium team, much to our surpri e and joy, carried off a second cup. Peggy Shoemaker, being the be t all-round athlete in the school, received that cup. The po se sion of these three cup i a great honor, and though some of the other classes think we are rather selfish, we do not exactly agree with them.

ARLY in October, after our inter-class games were over, the new squad appeared. It was the beginning of our first year in the Inter-Academic League. Just where our standing in the League would be at the end of the ea on, depended upon this squad. Con equently Coach Caber and Dr. Taylor worked dilio-ently for many weeks perfecting the different positions.

Finally the day came for our first game. It was with Chestnut Hill Academy and just how the team would make out no one knew. Although outweighed in every position Friends' Central opened the season with a victory, winning from Chestnut Hill by the score of 6 to 5.

Throughout the eason Friends' Central played well, and although beaten several times, finished with a creditable record, standing fourth in the Leao-ue.

HE last foot ball game was hardly over when the candidates for the ba ket ball team began their work in the gymna ium. \ i\Tith only one regular from the preceding year, the new squad had much hard training t o undergo. The schedule was rather exten ive. containing many games with chools outside the city, in addition to the Leao-ue games. Owing to the fact that too much class spirit rather than school spirit prevailed throughout the team. our success in the League game was not of the highest. Neverthele s, much credit is due the team, not only for the victorie won, but for their pluck in defeat. They succeeded in defeating our lono- unconquered rivals, Friends' Select School and Swarthmore Preparatory, and the crowning glory of all by defeatino- Lawrencev ille.

RIENDS' CENTRAL will this year continue its Inter-Academic base ball career. The candidates have begun their work and daily practice has been in progress in the yard for severa l weeks, and expect to be on the field in a few days. The new captain, "\tVayne Ayres, is looking forward to a bright sea on, a good schedule having been arranged by the managers. It includes, in addition to the Leao-ue dates, game with many leading preparatory schools in and about Philadelphia.

Owing to the early date at which the Class Record goes to pres , the outcome of our basebalJ season cannot be stated here, but we take this opportunity to extend our best wishes for a most successful season .

Old Pupils ' Association of Friends' Central School.

A VE you ever felt that in leaving school you ;:ire breaking ties which have been very pleasant? Do the friendships there made mean nothing to you? School days never return ; but the memory of them is very dear; and as the years roll by, you take more and more pleasure in meeting your classmates and in talking over old times. To supply the desire for this pleasure, alumni organizations are formed. The alumni organization at Friends' Central School, however, has among its membership not only those who have graduated, but also those who have dropped out of the classes from year to year. For that reason it is called Old Pupils' Association. It is an organization generous in its scope and wide in its power. It is an organization to which you should belong. The minimum dues are One Dollar a year. The Annual Reception, in the Fall, and the Annual Lecture, in the Spring, are well worth many times the dues. The opportunity again to meet your school friends is worth as much more. Join now!
