DEAR FRIENDS :

I am heartily glad to welcome you. I thank my classmates for the privilege of welcoming you, and I thank you for your presence on our Class Day.

To-day is the day on which we set aside serious thoughts of the future and of the trials of the past, and think and speak of those things which have lightened the work of study in our school life. It is with much gratitude and loyalty that we think of what Friends' Central has done for us, and how we have been broadened in every way by our life here—gratitude to our teachers for their persevering help and encouragement, and loyalty to Friends' Central for all she means to us. We sincerely thank our teachers.

This is the Class Day of the Class of 1906—the day of our school lives. Friends, if you feel that our efforts this morning have raised the standard neither of eloquence nor of wit, I hope nevertheless, that you may enjoy our fun. And I hope that everyone present may enter into the Class Day spirit and share the fun with a good will !

Again, I extend to you all the warmest welcome.

Girls'

N September of 1901 t rre appeared at Friends' Central a class of bright-faced, eager girls, prepared for the illustrious career which was to make famous the history of the Class of NineteenSix. Their efforts were quite limited at first. Besides the excellent work of the class-room, to which any teacher will testify if you wish to inquire, they joined that ancient association of Friends' four hundred," known as the Natural History Field Club. Katherine Preston, who has Central's since joined the matrimonial band, as president, carried it through a most successful year, and our last meeting was a joint one of the boys and girls to which the fond parents were invited. It was then that the girls starred in a play entitled " Florette." The whole affair was a great success as was shown by the cheers and affectionate caresses of the fond mothers.

In Class D the " Dramatic Co. of '06 " appeared for its second season in Shakespeare's Winter's Tale." This time the school was asked besides the parents to behold the budding geniuses. It was then that the eyes of all were turned with interest to the superior acting of Florence Nelson, who took the part of the peddler most gracefully. Clara Hawkins also drew quite a little attention as the clown, gowned in an exquisite green cheese-cloth robe (the latest French importation). The basket-ball team was organized this year, but for reasons of my own I shall not relate the career of the team during the D and C years. 'Nough said.

In Class C the first great problem to meet was the subject of class officers. Anne Bunting was elected President; Anne Pearson, Vice-President, and Margaret Carson, Secretary and Treasurer.

The Class-pins were also chosen this term.

But the most exciting year was yet to come. Anne Pearson was our dignified President this time. Class B is the year of sociables. Those joyous festivals still cling in our memories like a happy dream. Florence Porter is the bravest girl in '06. Why ?—Because she had the first sociable. Perhaps those who have never had anything to do with Friends' Central sociables cannot understand why. You see, we meek, shy girls had never before been allowed to be introduced to those beings

who inhabit the third floor. They seemed like something supernatural. Therefore it was with palpitating hearts that we sat in the 7.15 train, bound for Overbrook, eagerly watching for the shadow of one of those masculine forms to appear. Soon the train started, but not a vestige of a shadow appeared. We began to think they must be visions. West Philadelphia passed and still no sign. We reached Overbrook where we fled breathlessly to report the news to our hostess. The 7-45 train went out and still no sign of those horrid '06's (for such we were beginning to call them). The hen rty seated in the library began to grow very tiresome. But behold the 8.15 train brought them, an the lost was found. As I said, the girls were rather paralized at the appearance of these manly forms, and resorted to the wall for protection. But there seemed to be something alarming in the appearance of that row of skirts, and the boys fled to the opposite wall for support. Our hostess, however, soon started us off in progressive games, and everyone seemed to thaw out. The evening, thus so sadly started, ended with many cheers for the sociable and desires for many more. We had eight that year. Perhaps that accounts for our having but three or four this year.

Our term as Class B girls was not, however, the happiest in every respect. It was then that the death of Margaret Carson took from us one of the most loved girls of our class. She was a good, true friend to us all, and the Class of Nineteen-Six truly realized the dreadful loss.

Now is the time when I can relate with pride the activities of the basket-ball team. It at last became eligible for contesting in the cup games, and although it did not win the cup, it was satisfied that the '05 's were made to work hard for their victory.

The '05 commencement was the time when '06 shone forth in its true splendor. Mysterious posters were suspended before the eyes of the dignified Seniors upon which were such inscriptions as this: ' 'As the Candle is to the Sun, so '05 is to '06." This burst of poetic genius did not seem, however, to encourage the good feeling between the graduates and their Junior tormentors.

The A year is the the time for business and, therefore, should be the year for class-meetings. But if class-meetings are held to transact business, they certainly fell short of the mark in this case.

When I close my eyes, methinks I can still hear yelling voices ringing in my ears. Of course, our first duty was the appointment of class officers. Anne Pearson was elected President; Dorothy

GIRLS' CLASS, 1906

Howard, Vice-President, and our business lady, Florence Porter, was put in charge of the finances. She must have earned lots of money, too, from the number of times she came around calling, Got your class dues ? " when we had only five cents and an exchange ticket left. Anne Bunting was put in charge of the Literary Society. The first important meeting of the year was the Christmas one. At that time the " Dramatic Co." again appeared after two years of study in the dramatization of the ' ' Cricket on the Hearth." This was positively the last free show of the Company. The appearance of class-rings was a feature of the year. With them we were wont to dazzle the eyes of all whom we met.

At last the time came for our long looked-for Washington trip. Chaperoned by Miss Eastburn and Miss Cole, and attended by our mascot the " Monk," we saw all the sights of the Capital. Nightly concerts by " Heinie," and dances in the red parlor did not add a little to the enjoyment of the trip. We even saw Nicholas Longworth, who proved to be quite an attraction to a couple of the girls, who followed him quite a distance in order to obtain a good idea of the man. Altogether we agreed that we had had the time of our young lives.

The basket-ball team came into prominence again this year, and this time they won the cup after a series of cup games with the '07 's. You may be sure we were proud of it.

In April the "Dramatic Co." appeared with fifty-cent tickets to sell, in a play entitled ' 'Mr. Bob." Patty, alias Juliet, quite brought down the house by her repeated endeavors to interest Jenkins in the drama, which gentleman declared that he objected to any name but Jenkins, but to please Patty he supposed he must be a Romeo. Aunt Becky proved to be an excellent old maid with her insatiable love for cats and her plans for turning the upper rooms of the house into a home for her pets; while Bob and Kitty succeeded beautifully in perplexing Philip and bewildering Mr. Brown by their mischievous tricks.

Now the time has come when we must leave all the happy times which we have had at Friends' Central, and to-morrow, when we receive our diplomas, may we be encouraged by them to make famous in the great, wide world the history of the Class of Nineteen-Six.

ANNE H.

BUNTING.

HIS is a task well nigh impossible for me to do; for if I were to go into detail, the history of the boys alone would fill the class record, but I will tell you of the most important facts in the history of our high-school life, omitting the minor and most interesting details. The part about which I will tell you, is that portion which makes the name and reputation of a class; that portion which is most important to those who have gone through the same thing that we are just finishing.

CHAPTER I.

A group of boys met in room 32 on the third floor of Friends' Central School about the middle of September, 1901. This was the very beginning of the '06 Class in the boys' department. It is needless to say every one felt strange in those conditions but with time and experience we became familiar with the surrounding circumstances. Being at the end of the line to the lunch room grieved us the whole year and it seemed as though the time would never come when we would lead that moving caravan of hungry boys.

Of course Coffin, being the nearest to the ground, found that by skating his feet along the corridor and then touching the railing, he could make a spark, something which had been discovered by every preceding class. This would have been a great discovery had it been before Benjamin Franklin's time. Later in the year, we organized the Natural History and Field-Club under the supervision of Mrs. Dutton who was to take us out on field excursions; Mrs. Dutton commenced with the second section, but owing to a misunderstanding of some sort, that was the only one we had. We held monthly meetings of the Field Club when one section alternately entertained the other with readings, recitations and short talks. Later in the term we gave a portion of " Little Men," the staging and spectacular setting of which were wonderful, but the acting far surpassed either of these. Then regular school work continued until May, when we gave the annual Field Club Entertainment

'-64zc-ccæ6t

BOYS' CLASS, 1906

in which both girls and boys of each section entertained those of Class D. decorations were very fine, there being daisies wound about the posts in the lecture room and above the platform a large '06, made by putting the stems of daisies and violets through the meshes of a wire fly-screen. School soon closed after our annual meeting and our first year at Friends' Central School was over•

CHAPTER

II.

After a long and restful vacation we returned to school in the Fall of 1902, fully resolved to do better work than in the preceding year. Then we were in Class D and were much larger and wiser. The school requirements that year were very easy and outside of a little athletic work in which our fellows participated in way of preparation for what was to follow, the year passed rather quietly and without much increase in our importance among the other classes.

CHAPTER Ill.

When we returned the pext Fall we were in Class C, the last class in which we could still be called Juniors. The first real_business was the election of our Class President, Edward C. Ayres who was successively re-elected as President for the next two school years. Then the Class Pin Committee was elected; hot discussions followed, the girls wanted one thing; the boys another, until finally a convention was called and a pin decided on. This was something new in our school lives; it was the beginning of our being thrown in company with the girls. That year our accomplishment in athletics was great, for we won first place in the Indoor Meet and also in the Spring Sports. Again the term ended and it was time for a much needed rest.

CHAPTER IV

We returned to work in September, 1904, but our numbers had been somewhat diminished. Edw. Jacoby was elected Vice-President that year. The school requirements were much harder then, and in fact we had very little time to devote to outside work, for studying took so much of

our attention. were then Upper Classmen and must, of course, keep up the social end as well as the school requirements. Among the business of the year was the election of the Class Sociable Committee. Then came the question, which girl was brave enough to give the first sociable. Florence Porter kindly consented, and I will leave it to the girls to tell you what happened. All our sociables, however, were not like that one. As time went on, we became better acquainted and more enthusiastic in our social life. That year, I think we had about thirteen, it must have been somewhere around that number, for it seemed to have its evil effect on those of the next year. Again we were up to standard in athletics, and won the Indoor Meet and Spring Sports. Vacation time appeared again, but as usual, it seemed very short, for time soon came to return and resume our work.

CHAPTER V

We elected Walter Müller as our Vice-President this year. Now it became our duty as the highest class in the school, to act with dignity and set a good example to the lower classes, and we certainly did (?). But that was not all that went with being in the highest class in the school—we also led the line to the lunch-room. Even that institution had improved since other years, and seats had been put around the counter. This year we secured the Cup, awarded as a Trophy to the class that won the series of class football games. With about three sociables, a few interesting lectures, and the continuation of our school work, time rapidly passed until the year 1906 finally arrived, that year in which we were to graduate, the year which, when spoken of several years before, seemed like a prophetic, ancient mythe, never to be realized. Then came the Washington trip, an interesting account of which was written by Newell Alford and may be found in the Class RECORD. I will not burden you with that now, but there is one thing I should like to say in connection with the trip; that is while there the Class Club was formed called the "Delta Phi Delta" Club which has only seven members. Walter Müller was unanimously elected "Chief Delta Phi Delta" or President of the secret organization. For the last time, on the evenings of March 20th and 21st did the Class appear on the stage, producing a Minstrel Show followed

by ' 'Mr. Bob," a two act comedy, for the benefit of the Class funds. Time was rapidly passing and it was necessary for the Class RECORD to get down to solid work, and put THE RECORD in shape for the printer. Then came the week's vacation in May, which gave some rest, and others a chance to make up back work. On returning school lasted a very little longer, when final examinations were soon to follow. This brought the end of our high-school life, which was always a source of happiness to us; then came the time to part, when each shall do his own task in the world or else have the pleasant duty of going to college, where he shall further the education obtained at Friends' Central School.

NE evening as I was dozing before the fire, I was startled by a tap on the shoulder and a little

In reply to my question of who it was, and what cracked voice said, " Wake up, wake up."

I am Know-it-all, the Wise, and have been sent here to tell you any- was wanted, he said, thing you want to know." Seeing my way out of the great difficulty of prophesying for the Girls of Nineteen-Six, I immediately asked about their future. Most prophecies, I admit, are doubtful, but these coming from little " Know-it-all " are very reliable, so prepare for the worst.

I first asked about our illustrious president, Anne Pearson and found that she is still keeping up her reputation. She is chairman of a " Women's Convention," which position she obtained after graduating from Swarthmore and gaining much honor by public speaking.

Gwendolyn Evans, our star basket-ball player is now captain of the " Women's All-American Team " for 1920, and winning new laurels at every game.

The next person I heard about was a great surprise to me, for he told of a girl living in a little house, with a cat and a parrot; and, yes, it is Adele Stockham, an old maid, in spite of her airs (?)

Edna Jones is a living advertisement of ' never fail " hair tonic and stands in a window on Market Street. (Edna, who would have thought it ? )

Two of the girls at least have been successful in the matrimonial line. Emma Van Court and but I'll leave that to you, Florence Porter are happily married, the names of the lucky men being it won't be hard to guess.

Alice Byers went through Swarthmore and graduated with flying colors. She is now leading a literary career, and has become famous by writing several books.

The stage has claimed two of our members. Florence Nelson and Dorothy Howard took up this profession soon after leaving school. They have both been very successful, and are now playing Shakespeare, though for some reason, Florence will never take any character but that of Juliet.

Carrie Tredick is happy ; she has gone back to the " Wild and Wooly West " and the bluffs which she seemed so fond of.

I next asked about Florence Wagoner and found she is still fussing " fast and furiously with every man she meets, and still making them bless those ferry boats for running all night.

Viola Wahl naturally followed Florence. She is teaching German in Friends' Central School. Wish you luck with the little 1920's, V i.) She and Florence still go together as much as they used to in the good old days when we were gradually shortening our teachers' lives by our actions and density.

Anna Fussell is a doctor's wife, and so it is a self-evident fact, as we so often tried to impress her, that at least one of the young doctors who came so often to see her father had other interests than those of medicine.

Mary Murphy has gone out as childs' I tremble to think of the children, for how she, as Tilly, did knock that Perrybinge baby around. We will hope for the best however, and it may be that she has improved.

Clara Hawkins is still the same old jolly girl, going around getting everyone else out of trouble and getting into it herself. (Girls, doesn't that remind you of German class, when your humble servant" never knew any words and Clara always got her out of trouble.) And, wonders of wonders, girls, she is now thin as a rail !

Our Literary President, Anne Bunting is teaching in one of the large colleges, and finding that she simply could not live without more dancing, she has taken a dancing class for every night in the week but Sunday, and she is in her element.

Last, but not least, I came to Lydia Hunn, but when I mentioned her name the little man seemed dubious, and shaking his head slowly, said, " Lydia is still sleeping."

Suddenly I heard some one calling me to wake up, and the little man vanished before I had time to ask him anything about myself.

ELIZABETH A. BURTON

*Propbecp

few days ago as I was sitting in a large arm chair, I endeavored to write this prophecy. But I wondered how I could possibly foretell the future of fifteen fellows. It was almost an hour before an idea came to me, and jumping up I left the room. In about ten minutes I had returned, having borrowed from a friend his latest invention, a mineoscope. Again seating myself, I It is formed of a hollow brass tube, three inches in length, carefully examined the little instrument. and with a magnifying glass in each end. The mechanism of the interior is a secret, for the mineoscope has not yet been put on the market. Around the outside is a long roll of paper on which one writes a name and date, then, looking in the instrument, is seen that particular person at that time, whether past, present or future.

To test its accuracy, I wrote: "Class of 1906, March 16th, 10 P. M." Looking in the mineoscope, sure enough, there were fifteen fellows peaceably (?) eating the fourth meal of the day in the Ebbitt House, Washington. From this let us have faith that what is to follow is true.

Writing one by one the names of the Boys of 1906 and after each the date 1925, I certainly saw some strange sights.

First came Ed. Ayres, our president. There he was, as usual, dealing out medical lore and examining the nostrils of a dilapidated horse for a poisonous infection. Ayers had become one of the most well-known veterinary surgeons on York Street, Camden.

The next brought to light Newell Alford, plodding away at his overflowing desk and manipulating a gigantic pair of shears in a vain endeavor to eradicate enough material and superfluous words to publish the Rosette. This was a weekly paper edited for the benefit of the flourishing hamlet of Wyndmoor.

After Alford was Crawford. Archie was dealing out good advice and wisdom to silent and

beaming admirers in Uniontown. He had become the village deacon and was quite a shining light in the neighborhood.

Then there was Corson, probably one of the best known farmers in Pennsylvania. He had become the proud possessor of nearly a hundred acres of good farm-land near Conshohocken. Besides this, George had established the remarkable record of shooting one muskrat a month.

I saw Ed. Johnson earning a good salary in the circus of Bailey, Mann & Mann. He was endeavoring to the best of his abilities to reach 500 lbs. If Eddie was not the heaviest man, he at least broke his former record of one suit ripped a week.

Edward Fell had surprised himself as well as all his friends, by becoming one of the most distinguished statesman of the Twentieth Century. The Hon. Edward Fell had been elected as United States Senator from New Jersey and had delivered some well-known and famous speeches.

By 1921, Philadelphia had been almost overshadowed by the flourishing city of Wissahickon. Consequently Charles Wetter had moved to that place and was engaged in one of the leading theatres. Charles took tickets at the side entrance, but he entertained hopes that some day he might appear on the stage in a minor role.

The sight of Wetter with all the actresses, somehow reminded me of Justice Mitchell. Looking in the mineoscope, strange to say, I saw that honored gentleman conducting one of the most fashionable dressmaking establishments in West Chester. Mitchell annually went to Paris to examine the latest styles and thus kept in touch with the business.

Another strange sight was that of Lawrence Hess on the Yale track squad. Sad to relate, Lawrie was not there to break records, but rather was engaged as chief rubber-down for the squad.

The appearance of Jay Kyle and his occupation surprised me, but on second thought it seemed quite natural. Kyle had gone into business of his own after leaving school. But this did not suit him, for he longed to be near his teachers once more. Consequently he set up a teachers' agency and now is quite contented, for he can be with them all the time.-

Next was Ormond Rambo. He was engaged as deck-hand on one of the small yachting boats that frequent the bays and inlets around Seaside Park.

I was quite taken aback to find George Powell at the head of a matrimonial agency on Arch It seems that George had run into debt in a rather peculiar manner and consequently had to Street. look around for an occupation. Upon investigation, he decided that the head of a matrimonial agency would be both pleasing and profitable. But how did he run into debt? Simply by wearing out the steps of Van Court's house so many times that his funds were more than exhausted.

Shoemaker was the next on the list that I had before me. Looking again in the instrument, I saw Bill, bowling on the New Star Alleys on Seventh Street, near Market, Camden. As I watched, I saw him finish a game with the score of 101. He had a broad grin on his face, for he had broken his record of 100. After this he bowled about a dozen games, when I began to wonder why he did not pay for them. Then it struck me that Bill was only bowling between hours, for he was engaged as pin boy.

After Shoemaker was Walt Müller. Upon graduating (?) from the U. of Pa. he applied for a position in the Pennsylvania Railroad. In about a month he could be seen as brakeman on a local train which ran between Broad Street Station and Overbrook, and not any further.

The last name was that of Clarence Woolman, our former class-mate. For the last time I looked in the microscope and beheld him giving a lecture on the latest type of racing automobiles. He explained, first how the centre wheel was propelled, then how the power was generated, how the best speed was to be obtained. Gradually the packed hall thinned out, until there was only one person left, and that was Clarence himself.

Fearing to write my own name, I returned the instrument to my friend with thanks, quite overjoyed at the pleasant prospects before so many of the boys of Nineteen-Six.

Lous F. COFFIN.

Girls' wagbington Crip

HE wonderful ' 'Washington Trip," toward which we have looked for so long, has come and gone—gone in reality but not from our minds, for we all look back to the trip with great delight.

It was a joyously expectant party of twenty girls, with two important chaperons, Miss Eastburn and Miss Cole, that piled out of Broad Street Station and into the Special Car as fast as suit cases and escorts would permit. The trip down was very enjoyable and about a hundred miles shorter than we expected. The first excitement—after we pulled out from the Philadelphia depot—was an animated contest for the ownership of the two posters with which our "Guide" labeled us at each door. We finally subsided to boxes of goodies, etc., and the beauties of the scenery.

The Ebbitt House was all we could wish. Our compliment to the elevator boy, who showed rare taste in adhering most touchingly to our Mascot. The Congressional Library we found It afforded us all much pleasure and instruction; and Aletha and Dorothy splendid at night. discovered in the upper gallery that that power of attraction which they have heard so much about in Physics was at work in that building with personal emphasis.

For some strange reason we found that it was often after nine—which was the appointed hour—when we left the hotel. The trip to Mt. Vernon was splendid, though we had to back up to Arlington, which might have been more dignified. There was much planning on the rear platform of the car. Is that why Miss Cole thought there must have been a bride and groom in the house, when she sat down to dinner—or was it because a friend of hers Oh! but that couldn't have been it.

Thursday evening Miss Eastburn arranged that we should have the "Red Parlor," where we held a dance. The programs were remarkable! Half the girls took the parts of boys, and such spooning was never seen before as went on that evening. There was almost a duel between two gentlemen over one girl, which was ended by a scream in the hall from one of the gentlemen, the other having stabbed him in the back. That night we went to the theatre supper in the hotel dining-room, and then went to our rooms, but not to bed. We all gathered in one room and "1JIr." Wagoner gave a dance and song entitled ' 'Heine," which was accompanied by many encores. The evening dresses of Miss Jones, "Mr." Wagoner and "Mr." Preston added great attraction to the occasion.

The automobile tour was great, and the guide very brilliant! Friday evening we saw ' 'The Man on the Box" dramatized. On returning from the theatre, the lights went out and we were swallowed up in ghost stories, the most thrilling! You may imagine our fright after being made creepy," while passing through the corridors at being attacked in unexpected places, by real live ghosts, which scattered us in all directions (?)

One of the most interesting features of our midnight enjoyments was the pig-tail brigade" which gave the fourth floor a proper spirit of liveliness and visited the iniquities- of the Naughty-Six's upon Miss Cole and Miss Eastburn. At one time a slight excitement was raised by the slats falling out of one of the beds in No. 423, and letting every one (about ten in all) drop. Queer, isn't it? The chambermaid was very pleasant, though. That was strange, too. (?)

The other guests at the "Ebbitt" were charming to us. One gentleman was heard to remark with delightful animation, "Those girls raised the (gentleman not mentioned in polite society).

Saturday morning we went to the Washington Monument it is magnificent! We shall never forget it! About eight of the girls walked down singing and cheering, and charmed the official (at the bottom) by their youthful voices.

The mail was eagerly looked for every morning. The personal mail was of course plentiful. The Class in general received a most interesting illustrated story on postals from "Polly" Hunn, and also greetings from our less fortunate fellow-toilers in Friends' Central; and Oh! goody of goodies, a very sweet box from Miss Thomas, which came the very first night!

Alas! we did not see "The President' '—but we did see Mr. Longworth, our opinions and followed him out of the Capitol on his way from the House.

We sorrowfully left the beautiful city of Washington at 3.15. Our sorrow, however, was unable to keep down our youthful spirits. The trip home was spent in dozing (?) and Oh! ask Florence Porter if anyone laughed. We streamed into Broad Street Station with mighty yells for the P. R. R. , the "Ebbitt," the Mascot, the "Guide," the Class, the School, the president and "Eastburn, Cole Co.!

Crip

ITH a puff and a snort, the engine drew our train out of Broad Street Station at twenty minutes after three on the afternoon of March the fourteenth. The papers of the next day stated that the floor of the station was so flooded with the tears of two or three who wept because they could not go, that the station authorities were forced to use boats instead of trucks to manipulate the baggage. Everything was quite serene until the train reached Port Deposit, and as we were crossing the Susquehanna, Wetter saw a duck in the river and nothing would do but that Charlie must get off and chase it. The duck became scared, however, and Charlie was unable to make connections until we reached Washington.

A more lady-like bunch of gentlemen never struck Washington," quoth the telephone operator to Chubby.

The party started for the Library, but when they arrived and counted noses, they found they were two shy. Pete immediately dusted around with coat-tails in the air, and about half an hour later Ayres and his squaw, Ike from Wyndmoor, put in their appearance. It was rumored that Eddie was so interested in the letter he was writing, that he was lost to the world. Alas, alas !

With our brains clouded by the maze of angelic statuary and gorgeous paintings we descended from the seventh heaven, but only to be soaked with Washington rain. It rained hard, and it rained long. It rained everything but five dollar bills, and Coffn said he saw very few two's.

After hearing Coffn make this statement, the Senator representing the Overbrook district proposed to get him a job in the Weather Bureau Department. When the necessary examination took

place, however, it was found that Louis could not tell 'em big enough and that he was entirely too small in the feet.

At 11.21 P. M. the bunch held a meeting in room 414, occupied by Müller and Powell. Hess was sent to order some lemonade (?) but much to our chagrin he returned with two rounds of Coca Cola. This slight mistake was soon straitened out when Alford appeared on the scene with a suspicious looking bottle in his stern pocket. Confusion reigned, and the company adjoined to 518, the abode of Ayres and Alford.

Corson indulged a little too freely in the refreshments, which proved to be his pndoing, for he was as white as a sheet, and had it not been for the timely aid of " Doc " Ayres the result would probably have been serious.

A game was started to keep things moving. The Bimbus accusing Lizzy Mitchell of having an ace up his sleeve, and the air whistled around the chair legs and the mantle-piece at a pretty lively speed. The discussion came to blows, and the Bimbus sailed into Lizzy like an old tar. Hess took sides with Liz and sallied o'n the Bimbus with Ayres' kimona; so vigorously did he wave his death-dealing weapon, that it became tangled in the gas fixture and four globes lay helplessly in atoms on the floor. The fight was postponed until the dead and wounded could be removed from the field of action. The host carried the broken crockery out the back door, wrapped in a newspaper, and left the bundle in an innocent ash barrel on Z street.

The Bimbus, suffering from nightmare, was found by Hess, in a vain attempt at climbing the ballisters. He had a splinter in his big toe the next morning.

We killed Thursday morning by representing F. C. S. in the Senate and later in the House. The ' rip-roaring, fire-eating, light-complexioned Senator from Naomiville," was to deliver a speech ; we waited as long as we could, but had to leave for luncheon at the Ebbitt. The same afternoon we visited the Fisheries Building and saw the fish. The authorities wanted to pickle Kyle as a specimen of a Lobster, and there he is, a faded picture of his former self, but nevertheless, the only one of his kind. With the Government's permission we afterward borrowed him for the Minstrel Show.

Dr. Ayres and Müller spent the remainder of the day in veiying and discussing the fossils and

skeletons found in the National Museum. They thought they saw " Skins " Johnson in a glass case, and returned to the hotel with sorrowful faces. Johnson was later identified in the dining room doing justice to an appetizing menu.

We passed the evening very enjoyably at the Opera, where Monsieur Redhairio-Fax rendered that touching selection, entitled, " There will be no Show this Evening." The song made quite a hit with our bunch and there being skeenteen in the box, we encored him again and again.

The crowd kept late hours, and again it was in 518. Müller, Powell and Johnson were unable to return to their room and hence Ayres and his squaw very hospitably kept them over night.

Friday morning C. Hart Wetter made various bets with different individuals that they could not ascend the Washington Monument in two hours on foot, Johnson and Bimbus finished on a tie for first ; time, 9 minutes, 3 2-5 seconds. The last man crossed the mark in 14 minutes, 3 3-32 seconds. Wetter was broke! Consequently the gang showed him the way to a Hock Shop, where poor Charlie tearfully parted with a piece of jewelry which he had borrowed in Wissahickon.

Our eventful trip to Mount Vernon followed. We visited the grand old mansion ; Müller and Ayres sat on the portico, with "postal card" Willie, and wrote postals to—guess who—while the rest viewed the kitchen, the garden and the river. Elliot washed his feet in the Potomac for the sake of the say so. Wetter also took a drink. After making a mad rush for the car we found it had not arrived. This slight delay gave Ike time to send off about twenty more postals to friends at Fifteenth and Race. Later word came that the car had jumped the track, and that the passengers should walk to the scene of the wreck. The mud was very forbidding in its stickiness, the tracks were narrow and slippery, and many were they who slipped from the tracks into the mud, being prevented from going in over their heads only through the timely assistance of some good natured comrade. When we arrived at the scene of the wreck, we sought an entertaining mode of killing time. The programme opened with a short scientific lecture by Professor Baker on "How Trolley Roads should Avoid Accidents." Rambo followed with a monologue; Corson sang a song (Oh Horror ! ) ; Lizzy Mitchell gave a skirt dance while Powell whistled (?) " There will be no Show this Evening." A short comedy in one act by several others concluded the performance. It was entitled :

Mr. Mrs. Mr. Mr.

It is needless to say that the play was a howling success.

We reached the Hotel and found a big baboon for Pete with instructions to care for the other little monkeys. Wearily did we file into the dining room, but the expressions on the waiters' faces as we gave our orders were fit subjects for a comic artist. We take pleasure in quoting one of the orders :— Coffn: " Let's have it all, but cut out the cigars."

We enjoyed an evening at Chase's theatre, and then adjourned to 518 where the former evening's pastimes were again indulged in.

Sleep overtook us about one-thirty, Ayres being the last man to retire. He sat up until two hours later, writing a long letter and making various entries in his diary.

Saturday morning we bid the President farewell. After inspecting the White House we leisurely sauntered about the town and tucked in all matters of interest that had been left out.

Shoemaker received an appointment from the Inter-State Commerce Commission, naming him as Supervisor of the Ferry between Philadelphia and Camden. Owing to his many other duties Mr. Shoemaker refused to make good.

We took one long breath of Washington air ; one lingering look, and then we boarded our train. Some went to sleep, others told stories ; but most of us joined in the general rough-house in order to

In these different moods, we landed in Broad Street Station at ten minutes of seven, keep awake. and with long hair-raising yells for Professor Baker and Nineteen-Six we separated. Our trip to Washington was a thing of the past.

PROF. BAKER :—Take care of all thy monkeys,

And do not let them stray, What would become of F. C. S.

If they were all away.

Newell Alford went to Washington, I hope he caught the train. For when he goes to Sociables He walks there in the rain.

Ed. Ayres he went to Washington, Adele she couldn't go, Listen to my tale of woe.

Once there was a little boy

Whose name was Louis Coffn ; He just read Latin like a breeze, While the rest all died a "loffn ! "

Young Edward knew he'd get there—

But the way he couldn't tell.

He heard that Washington was down South, And so he simply—Fell.

Easter's the time for Bunnies : Said a tot named Laurie Hess, But I don't like the ones at Washington

As much as those (?) at F. C. S.

When he started out for Washington, Edwin Johnson was scared green. One cannot have his life insured, Till one is past fifteen.

Oh ! something strode along the street, It made the natives smile, The Washingtonians turned to gaze, It is Kyle." They whispered—

Stick to thy class-mates Mitchell, Then however much we ride Our neighbors' horses or our own, We've Justice on our side.

Little Walter went to Washington "Alas ! " he cried, as he left school, I cannot find my little horse, I'll have to ride a mule !

Oh, who has gone to Washington, Poor Emma cried Geo. Powell, This brings back happy memories And she sits her down to howl.

Why don't Rambo go to Washington, Little Ormond says, I can't, He is to big to take along, My faithful elephant.

Poor Charlie went to Washington, He went without his sweater, And everytime the snow flake fell It makes poor Charlie Wetter.

riends' Central opened the season of 1905 with bright prospects for a fast eleven. With seven of the '04 team back in the game, and about a dozen new men trying for positions, it was a hard proposition for Coach Cober to pick the team. After many weeks of catching punts, falling on fumbles and signal practice, the team was finally chosen.

The 10th of October was the day set for our first game, with the strong De Lancey team as our opponents. The visitor's line had a great advantage in weight, and this accounts for our defeat. Score: De Lancey 6, F. C. S. O.

One week after the De Lancey game, October 17, we played Germantown Academy team on their grounds, and lost one of the hardest games of the season. The deciding score was made in the first two minutes of play, when a Germantown man kicked a goal from the field, that being the only score of the game. Score: Germantown 4, F. C. S. o.

On the 20th of October we won our annual game from the St. Luke's team, by the score of 10 to o. The game being played on a field of mud, made end runs impossible, and this accounts for the low score.

On the 24th of October we were again victorious, our opponents being the heavy Chestnut Hill team. It was due to the weak condition of Chestnut Hill's ends that we ran up a score of 22 to O.

Our next game, on the 31st of October was with Northeast Manual eleven. After two pluckily fought halves, in which the Kensington team played anything but a clean game, we were defeated to the tune of 11 to o.

We secured our third victory of the season by defeating the Chester High team, by the score of 6 to O.

With the score 5 to 2 in our favor, and the second half nearly over Chester forfeited.

FOOTBALL TEAM

The most important game was played on November 10th with the strong team from Radnor High School. Although defeated, our team put up a good article of ball and made the heavy Radnor team work for every point. Score: Radnor 12, F. C. S. o.

The last game of the season was played at Swarthmore, on the 17th of November, when we lined up against the team of Swarthmore Prep. School. The F. C. S. team was greatly outweighed and lost by the score of 11 to o, thereby closing forever the foot-ball career of seven of the team at Friends' Central School.

HE wind had hardly been left out of the footballs before Captain Ayres issued a call for the candidates for the Basket-ball Team. Four of last year's team reported for practice, and about fourteen new men helped make a very promising squad. The team was again represented in the Interscholastic Basket-ball League, and after a season of fourteen hard games, finished in fourth position. The Friends' Central team was twice defeated by Northeast Manual, twice by Drexel; once by Central High School and once by Brown Prep. On the other hand our team defeated Central Manual twice, Cheltenham twice, Central High School once, Brown Prep. once, Phillips Brooks we defeated in our first game and tied in the second.

The team also played four games outside of league games, at De Lancey, Swarthmore Prep. , Lawrenceville and Friends' Select. We defeated De Lancey and lost to Swarthmore and Lawrenceville.

The Friends' Select game should have been played in our hall, as it has been the custom of the schools to alternate halls each year, but the Select management thought it wise not to play on our floor, so we were compelled to play in their gymnasium ? )

The game started amidst loud cheers and blowing of horns, and after two fiercely fought halves the F. C. S. team was defeated by the small margin of 19-16, having all odds against them.

We take this opportunity in wishing next year's teatn great success under their new captain.

riends' Central will this year be represented in the Inter-Academic and in this league our team will be matched with the best teams in and around Philadelphia. Besides these, games have arranged with Phillips Brooks, the Alumni, Chestnut Hill, and Spring Garden Institute. The baseball candidates were slow getting out this Spring, as the grounds were not fit for use until April 16th. On that date eighteen candidates reported to Coach Orbin for practice. Thus far the fellows have shown up well in the daily practice, but how the team will succeed in the season of 1906 is still a question that can not be answered in the Class RECORD, owing to the early date at which it goes to press. Nevertheless it is our sincere wish that the team will meet with the greatest success, and be a credit to Friends' Central School.

HE Track Team this year at Friends' Central is one of great promise and already much has been achieved. As soon as possible the candidates were out, and training under the direction of Coaches Taylor and Cober. The first meet on the schedule was at the First Regiment Armory, where Hess captured the Middle States Interscholastic Championship in the 40-yard dash. Hess followed this by winning at Haverford in the 100-yard dash, while Alford was third in the 220. From then until the Relay Races, the candidates worked hard to gain a position on the team. Alford, Ayres, Jackson and Cook were selected. Though they ran a good race, we only secured sixth place. Close on the heels of the Relays came a Dual Meet with Radnor High School. Radnor won in an exciting manner by the close score of 40 to 32. We feel confident that the team will distinguish itself throughout the remainder of the season, and will bring glory to Friends' Central School.

ineteen-Six started athletics as far back as " D " when Clara Hawkins was our basket-ball captain, and although our first year was not one of victory, still it helped us for a strong team. In " C " and " B " we defeated the lower classes, and in " B" we played the game for the cup with '05 's. Florence Porter was captain both years. Then came the Senior year, where with Elizabeth Burton as captain and guard, and our star center, Gwendolen Evans, backed by Clara Hawkins, guard, Florence Porter and Anne Pearson, forwards, we at last won the cup and the championship.

The gymnasium " Meets " started when we were in Class " C " and every year Nineteen-Six was well represented, and lost it only by several points. On April 19, 1906, took place the last contest in which we would ever take part, in the gymnasium of the intermediate. We were represented by Lydia Hunn, Clara Hawkins, Anne Pearson and Florence Porter. Although we did good work on the " horse and in the jumping, Florence Porter jumping 4 ft. 9 in. , the school record being 4 ft. 10 in. , we did not win, but were defeated by 1908's. F.

o brought applause from the audience.

N the evenings of April 20th and 21st crowds of people made their way to the Young Friends' Association Auditorium, 15th and Cherry. And no wonder, for these were the evenings set aside for the Senior Minstrel Show and Play. Sharply at eight o'clock the curtains opened, after the first verse and chorus of In Dear Old Georgia" were sung behind them. Jay Kyle, the middleman, was an easy mark for the two end men, who threw jokes thick and fast. Songs and otfier music followed, and after a touching selection entitled, ' 'Fare Thee Well, That Means Good-Bye," was sung by the end men, the Minstrel Show retired to be followed by "Mr. Bob," a comedy in two acts. Since many people have heard it, a friendly criticism and not a description of "Mr. Bob" will be taken up. Anne Pearson, who took the part of Aunt Becky, was an interesting old Aunt, and the way in which she ordered the butler around who declared it beneath his dignity to run after cats, Florence Nelson was an interesting maid and the manner in which she made love to Jenkins, the butler' was quite romantic. Edwin Johnson, who took the character of Mr. Brown, had a difficult part and acquitted himself to the satisfaction of the audience. The parts taken by Anne Bunting, Elizabeth Burton and Newell Alford were well played, and the curtain dropped with many rounds of applause. The Senior Class on the stage in public, is a new departure, and we hope that the classes which follow may have as much success as we have had.

" Recorb" Cbitorial

N presenting this RECORD of the Class of Nineteen-Six of Friends' Central School to the public, faculty and fellow students, we ask that it be read in the spirit in which it was written, and as you pursue your way through the pages of this publication, we trust you will gain some idea of the jolly times spent at Fifteenth and Race.

While publishing this year's book, it has been our ambition to make it one of the best ever published at Friends' Central, and in order to bring about this achievement, we have departed from the general form of previous RECORDS. We fully recognize that the goal has not been reached, and we hope that the following staffs will profit by our mistakes. In time the Class RECORDS will advance step by step until perfection is reached.

The contents of this RECORD being of an extremely personal character, we wish that no one shall be offended at the fun at his or her expense, but take it as a friendly joke. Trusting that the Nineteen-Six RECORD will be read with the sense of htßnor intended by the editors, we leave it for you to decide whether or not our dream of success has been realized.

Now we hear the farewell sentence, Thy school days are done ; "

Gather up the laurels that By constant work we ve won.

As we re grateful to Friends' Central, With our might we'll try To voice our thanks upon •this day When '06 says " good-bye."

(tttnt, Coming Cbrougf) toe Rpe)

In the years we toiled together, All of us have learned

That nothing's worth the name of honor But by effort earned.

Often when we',ve been discouraged In various petty ways, We have looked with glad relief Toward graduation days.

Now we find 'tis with reluctance We lay down the pen, Wishing that the page just written Might be turned again.

We'll ever think of F. C. S.

And all that she has done ;

Ne'er can our memories leave behind The thought of school-day fun.

We hope that in our future life, Each task we start to do May like our Class of Nineteen-Six

Be seen, triumphant through. And through the life we enter, now

That our school days are done,

In every crisis may we say As now, " '06 has won."

Though we wander far from F. C. S.

Our hearts are true.

And we'll rally when we see Friends' Central's " Gray and Blue."

We know as we've ne er known before How hard it is to tell—

The Class of Nineteen-Six must say, Friend's Central, Fare Thee Well "

1906 Clagg Song

(Co tune of ' 'Ooob=bpe, ftlanbattan 3SBIe'

When first we saw those honored walls, That fame has builded together, We all were filled with a love

That time can never sever ; So our love has grown, And a love taught by thee, shall perish never.

CHORUS

Good-bye to you Friends' Central School, Farewell old Blue and Gray, Naught-Six belongs to you old school No matter where we stray. That we'll be true to you, to you There's not the slightest doubt, For as we leave, we'll all arise and for Friends' Central shout.

To-day the class parts, And with aching hearts, We say good-bye to you. Do what we may, night or day, To Friends' Central we'll be true. And as we leave this dear old school, with heavy hearts we say.—CH0.

—CHARLES H. WETTER.

Girls' Statistics

Each girl has a pair of eyes

A pair of hands, and toes

A mouth, some teeth, a little hair

She even has a nose !

N the words of our illustrious Patty we takes our pens in our hands" to tell you something of the characteristics of our famous Class. Genius in 1906 is plentiful and covers a wide field, from one girl's talent for managing class meetings to that of the infant prodigy who knows how to talk so very fast. It is my mission then to tell you in which direction each girl's talent lies and a little concerning the general features of the Class.

Be it known that our average age is 1812 years. Our average height is 5 feet 3 inches and our average weight 124 1-10 pounds. If we all piled on the scales together, could we find one that would hold us all, we would weigh 182612 pounds.

Gwendolen Evans by the most overwhelming majority was voted the best basket-ball player.

Gwen never steps on people's toes when she plays, and makes an amazing number of goals from centre.

Our brightest girl is Anne Pearson, but alas, Anne, you are not considered the best student. Anne Bunting takes first place for this. Dorothy Howard, though she objects, has the most intellectual forehead. Clara Hawkins has the most inborn contradictiveness, at least in the opinion of the teachers.

Taking us a whole, we are a particularly jolly class. Just ask the elevator boy in the Ebbitt House at Washington, the day one, or the people who were kept awake to the wee sma' hours" by our nightly clamor. But Clara leads us all in jollity. When we begin to be sober, there is Clara if we want to be enlivened.

In direct contrast there is Lydia Hunn, with lots of jollity inside, but hiding it under the most solemn demeanor in the Class.

Florence Nelson, the aforesaid Patty, talks more than anyone else. Why, when she gets started it is necessary to take a rope and haul her away from her victim and forcibly lock her up. Even then the sounds of her voice continue on the breeze. Once she was stopped by being placed at a lonely desk on the other side of the room. Ask Miss Shepherd for this remedy. Elizabeth Burton is next, but she is big and you cannot treat her so.

Our nerviest girl! Let me see! I do believe Elizabeth received the most votes for that.

The most original is said to be Dorothy Howard.

Viola Wahl has the best disposition, and our sweetest is Gwendolen Evans. She is also the quietest, which seems to displease her.

Emma Van Court could get through the smallest opening in a board fence and May Murphy next, while Clara, because of her plumpness would make the softest pillow. For Emma's sake I have tried to put this delicately. If Carrie Tredick fell from the second story window she would make a bigger dent in the pavement than any of the rest of us under similar circumstances.

Dorothy Howard is the tallest and Florence Nelson is nearest the ground, as Carrie Tredick once remarked.

Anne Bunting is our prettiest girl. She also has the prettiest eyes.

It was voted that Dorothy Howard has the best manners, with Anne Bunting a close second.

Edna's hair received the most votes for beauty, and Florence Nelson has the prettiest nose.

Florence Porter got the most votes for the prettiest hands.

I daresay the jig in the French play It was voted that Dorothy was our most graceful girl. had a good deal to do with this.

The prettiest mouth and teeth in the Class belong to Florence Porter.

Our ideas of pleasure are widely different. Anne Pearson is very enthusiastic about presiding at quiet (?) class meetings and having enough room to roll and stick Blue and Grays. Elizabeth likes to stand on Chemistry benches and wildly wave her arms. The chief delight of Carrie Tredick

is to have people use her for a pillow in basket-ball, while she struggles faintly. Emma's idea of pleasure lies in her beautiful shrug and "I don't know."

Our ideas of misery are also varied. Anne Bunting's most wretched moment is when her pumps are removed promiscuous" and transferred to distant climes. Alice Byers dislikes to pass notes in Latin.

Florence Porter wants it distinctly understood that of all things she dislikes saucy remarks concerning her hair.

There is no doubt about the prettiest complexion. Florence Wagoner received all the votes except one. She could not vote for herself you know.

Florence Porter has the most winning smile. Even when she came around with her continuous unearthly cry, ' 'Got your Class dues ? " it was irrestible. Out came our very last precious dollar.

Without a doubt, Florence Nelson has the smallest and prettiest feet.

Anne Bunting has the neatest figure in the Class.

Anne Pearson has the prettiest neck by a large majority of votes.

There were three candidates for the most stylish girl, but Emma Van Court won, partly because of her famous Marcelle wave, on which she continually floats in bliss.

Florence Nelson is the wittiest by an almost unanimous vote.

Clara was voted the girl. with the biggest sense of humor. She also laughs the most and we laugh with her.

Anna Fussell loves animals more than anyone else in the Class. She rides beautifully. Here's a chance for Mr. Briggs if he wants a new instructor in the strenuous art.

The girl who always does the "little kindness which others leave undone," is May Murphy.

In the Christmas Play "Cricket on the Hearth" she did the most for everyone.

If you have seen Florence Nelson as Patty, I am sure you will agree with us that she is the cutest girl, "Menial, I would a word with you ! " Emma Van Court received the next place.

Edna Jones is our neatest girl. She is just as neat as a tenpin, which is ten times more than one pin.

Our ideal girl then, with the prettiest features of the Class would have Edna Jones' raven tresses, Anne Bunting's eyes, Florence Nelson's nose, Florence Porter's mouth and teeth and hands, with Florence Wagoner's complexion and Anne Bunting's figure.

Who else could our Class angel be but Alice Byers? Our cutey little Class Imp is Adele.

The professors, now that we have had them for a year have proved our most popular teachers. Professor Carver received the greatest number of votes, then Professor Barrett, and Miss Jenny Cornell is third in our hearts.

We consider that Anne Bunting is the favorite with the teachers.

Among the boys, Edwin Johnson is the most popular with the girls. George Powell received the most votes for the handsomest boy in 1906.

We have learned to know each other so well during the five pleasant years that we have been together that these statistics may be regarded as the result of long study. Yes, I think that now our friendship is cemented fast and the greatest knowledge we have gained in F. C. S. is our knowledge of each other. May Friends' Central live long and prosper, and the Class of Nineteen-Six remain always as firm and true as she has been.

DOROTHY V. HOWARD.

Statistics

T takes all sorts of people to make a world. We say that it also takes all sorts of students to make a school class, especially that of 1906 of F. C. S. The following will give you an idea of what our Class is composed :

Who is the best looking? Ed. Ayres, in spite of his name, landed first. We suspect this because he is our President and so had ordered everyone to vote for him. Of course we could not disobey his orders (?)

Who is the brightest? Justice Mitchell won first place. He won this because he had only seven ponies in German Class the whole year through, and was exempt from the final examination.

Who is the most studious? This was a close race between Jay Kyle, Archie Crawford and Louie" Coffin. While on our Washington trip, Coffin was seen studying from a German book, so he was awarded first place.

Who is the teacher's pet? Jay Kyle was unanimously elected. He is talking of founding a private school in order to teach students how to be popular with their instructors.

Who is the best athlete? At one of our Class Sociables, there appeared a tall lean youth who carried off the laurels in the potato race. This person was Ed. Ayres, and on account of this great achievement he is elected here.

Who is the worst cut-up? Charlie Wetter wins on a walk. He had fourteen cards against him at one time.

Who is the most dignified? This was a pretty close race, but Archie Crawford won. He is so dignified that he would not go to Washington with our terrible 1906 Class.

Who is the laziest? George Corson fell asleep during the race and the judges decided to award him this honor. Ed. Fell, who won second place, was so tired during the election that he had no energy left to vote for himself.

Who is the wittiest? Ed. Johnson is considered the wittiest, for he always laughs at his own jokes, even if no one else does.

Who is the dude? George Powell won easily. He always carries a whisk, a brush and comb, a nail file, etc., around with him.

Who is the baby? Some one informed us the other day that ' 'Louie Coffin's breakfast consists of Mellili's Food for children, and that his favorite beverage is diluted taffy. He is now known as the ' 'Baby."

Who has the best temper? This at first resulted in a tie between Walt Müller and Ed. Fell. It was agreed that we should tease them to see who would lose his temper first. We were unsuccessful for a long while, but finally some one asked Müller if it was not time for his train to leave for Overbrook. Well, Fell won.

Who is the most modest? Ayres is considered the most modest because he did not cast a single vote for himself.

Who is the most jolly? We think that Walt Müller should win here. He is also very much at home while speaking before large audiences (?)

What is our idea of happiness? Müller says, ' 'collecting Class dues." Alford says, contributing to the 'Blue and Gray." Rambo says, ' 'being in Latin Class."

What is our idea of misery? Powell says, when the pants pressers are on a strike." Wetter to be in Prof. Baker's office." Ayres says, when the ferry boats are not running." says,

What is our favorite feed? From the variety of names sent in, we may deduct that excelsior, sawdust, or any other packing will do.

Why are we glad we are in '06? Our gallant comrades are of the opinion that we could not be otherwise if we look at the classes which have gone before and those that are trailing after.

Our average age is 17 yr. 9 mo., average height 5 ft. 712 in. and our average weight 144 lbs. Eleven of us have dark hair, two have light hair, and one has red hair. Our favorite study is History.

Brof. Barrett was elected our favorite teacher, with Prof. Taylor a close second.

Now concerning the girls, Florence Nelson was voted the most popular and also the cutest by a good majority. We think that Edna C. Jones is the prettiest girl, while Adele Stockham has the prettiest eyes. These two races were very close. Anne Bunting has, in our estimation, the WILLIAM K. SHOEMAKER prettiest hair.

Clagg

Assembled here before this gath'ring, The Class of 1906 appears, To bid farewell to all our schoolmates, Whom we have cherished all these years.

We leave our teachers with reluctance For they to us were good and true, And their influence e'er will linger, As this life we journey through.

Oft we'll think of Alma Mater, Sound her name with much delight ; Ever round her glorious colors, We will loyally unite.

How we look up to our colors, Those to which we'll e'er be true, We will love you now and ever Dear old colors " grey and blue."

Many times we've felt discouraged, Many times was failure near ; But we always came out victors, And it paid to persevere.

We all looked upon our school life As a race, ah, too soon won ; Though hard and unattainable It seemed when first begun.

Year by year we've strived and labored

For the place we now do claim ; So let us keep on striving ever, Ever for some greater fame.

How often are we too decided That success is quickly grasped, How long we see it in our future, But how soon it hastens past.

Though we must suffer sore defeat

We can't give up and fall.

Pride yields too often, and we retreat Beyond the victor's call.

We win the race by steady toil, We lose because we shirk

So if we will the victors be, We must decide to work.

When you start out be determined That a record you shall make ; Start at once for chances lessen When a person starts too late.

We'll always try to guard and strengthen Our honor and our self control ; We'll never dare to shun the small things For they the larger ones extol.

Though our F. C. course has ended, And we part for life's long way ; Still we'll ever stand united— United as we are to-day.

The time has come to say farewell, Our '06 year is ended ; Still we will ever sing the praise Of the class which we defended.

Dear schoolmates, who we leave behind us, You, class by class, will take our place ; May you to F. C. be an honor, And to your class ne'er bring disgrace.

Dear friends of glorious 1906 class Remember just what rests on you, And all that leads to your advancement, Strive ever perfectly to do.

And now dear teachers, one and all, Our schoolmates and our friends ; We bid farewell with saddened hearts, As this, our last year, ends.

FLORENCE WAGONER.

*Presentations

EVVELL G. ALFORD : As soon as we arrived in Washington, the first thing Windy Ike did was to rush for the news-stand where he purchased stacks of postals of every variety. He kept on sending letters and postals during our entire sojourn at Washington and as it is only fair to suppose that at least half of these were answered, maybe this album will hold a few of the postals Alford receives.

EDWARD C. AYRES : Ed finds that there are attractions in Camden sufficient to draw him to that town almost every night. Ferryboats at their best are fickle, to put it mildly, so I hope that this boat may be a means of saving Eddie from a lecture on promptness, some night when the ferry-boat is disabled and he arrives on York street, late.

LOUIS F. COFFIN : Louie is a great talker. In the classroom or in debate he is forever giving proofs of his oratorical powers. In a debate he cannot be excelled as a speaker; but in the classroom his flow of oratory cannot be stopped. One of Louie's diminutive proportions may have trouble to get a hearing after leaving school, but with the aid of this megaphone it is probable that he will always be enabled to make lots of noise in the world.

GEORGE C. CORSON : The laziest man imaginable. Why, he is so lazy that he would even attempt to go to sleep in meeting. With the aid of this pillow it is to be hoped that George will secure enough sleep sometime.

ARCHIE CRAWFORD: Archie's dignity and noble bearing may be the death of him yet. We are told that pride and dignity go before a fall, and I hope that this cane will help support his dignity and also save him from a fall.

EDVVARD W. FELL: Ed's chief ambition in life seems to follow out that old adage, one good turn deserves another." This is especially true in the height to which he will turn up his trousers. You can easily see why ankle supporters are a necessity in Ed's case.

H. LAWRENCE HESS All of Larry's time and thoughts are devoted to running. When he

is not winning victories for Friends' Central by running, he is running for trains to and from Secane. This watch is kuaranteed to do a little running of its own, and may act as a pacemaker as well as enable Larry to be on time for trains.

EDWIN J. JOHNSON : Johnson is the '06 girls' favorite and needless to say a great part of his attractiveness lies in his slender proportions. In order that Johnson may not gain a single pound over his •present fighting weight, namely, 108 pounds, it will be necessary for him to employ strenuous measures, so I hope this bottle ofanti-fat will keep him from having any superfluous flesh to cover his bones.

JAY M. KYLE : I am going to tell you a story of Washington, not the immortal George, but of our adventures in that city.

One night as the class was partaking of an after-theatre supper at the Ebbitt house, Jay was seen to beckon violently for a waiter. When that dusky personage came, Kyle demanded a wine list in a desperate tone of voice. He was seen to glance hastily at the champagnes and wines with the eyes of a connoisseur. He next wrote something on the order blank, although the rest of the class tried to dissuade him, but in vain, for Jay said he was thirsty and must drink something. We turned our heads away when the waiter appeared with a bottle, but the joke was on us for here is what Jay had ordered (a bottle of ginger ale.)

JUSTICE MITCHELL : Justice is known as the bright boy of the class. But he seems to hide his light under a bushel at times by failing to procure a shave. This shaving brush and cake of shaving soap may help a little. I am not going to give you a razor, Justice, because a pair of scissors will do just as well in your case.

WALTER H. MULLER: Walt is what is known as a tremendous feeder. In Washington he would order everything on the menu and then call for a large cup of coffee and toothpicks. This box of dyspepsia tablets may help you sometimes when your appetite gets the best of you.

GEORGE R. POWELL: George is the dude of the class, and I might add that it is quite an honor to be the dude among a "bunch of sports" like the '06 class. In spite of your numerous and

various array of brilliantly colored garments, I doubt whether you will find anything to match these (a pair of socks).

ORMOND RAMBO, JR. : Ormond has passed his exams so easily with the aid of a horse, that this horse (though not of the same type) may be an aid to him after he leaves school.

WILLIAA/I K. SHOEMAKER : Bill was 'touted" as class poet but I am sorry to say that he I hope that he will be able to grind out rhyming couplets and failed to deliver the goods in poetry. other poetry by means of this apparatus (coffee grinder).

FELIX WILSON : Felix, like other famous musicians, believes in the power of long curl' locks as an aid to bettering one's technique. This pair of shears may help you to look like an ordinary mortal should music fail to pay, but anybody who could play the piano for the '06 Minstrel Show as well as Felix did will surely be successful when he undertakes easy tasks.

Fellows, I don't know how to take it. Is it irony? Perhaps its proof of the fact that the more you jump on a fellow, the more he appreciates it.

Thanks more than words.

You fellows have always hung together since you have been in the school and I admire you for it.

Our association together has only been marked by a kindly feeling. I have jumped on you sometimes, and hard, and from this I take it that you received it with the spirit in which it was given.

I don't know of an instance in which I have not defended the boys, because I had confidence in you. We've been the best of friends in the past and in the future you will find find me ever ready to help you. You were boys and I understood, and I wouldn't have liked you as well had you been otherwise.

I cannot think of a case in which you have not held up the reputation and dignity of the school and your class.

Gentlemen, I appreciate sincerely the honor you have bestowed upon me, and wish that I could find terms that would express my appreciation. Thank you."
