GLASS NIGHT EXERCISES
(Continued Prom Pago One)
party for the Juniors becanio Jeal
ous because thoy wero not Invited
and an enmity was formed between
the two classes which 1 am sorry to
say existed until their departuro.
Beforo concluding I must not forget
to mention the triangular contest
which was held in llonosdnle that
year between the three schools, Car
bondale, Dunmore and 'Honesdnlc. ,
For a week beforo tho great affair
our mothers wero kept busy baking
good things to feed tho visitors,
etUl If wo had known that thoy had
such enormous appetites (as wo af
terward found out! wo would havo
solicited tho wholo town, for they
ato and ato and nte. Tho rest of,
tho year passed unoventfully and In 1
ilune we bid a sorrowful good-byo to
tho Senior class, still tho thought
that the following year wo would
1)0 Juniors somewhat lessened our
grief, but hero I must draw tho cur
tain and allow my classmato to re
late our experiences ns Juniors. 1
Jl'.VIOU AX1 SE.VIOK HISTOKV,
I My Hilda Dunn.
When wo returned to school Sep
tember, 1910, all was excitement be
cause we wero going to havo a now
vice-principal; overyono knew his
11a 111 u hut fow had seen him. Those
of our class who took German II or
Chemistry soon know him well, for
ho was the instructor in both sub
jects. As we wero registering in
Rhetoric wo noticed six girls who had
previously attended Texas High
school now entered our class. Five
of theso girls soon fell In love with
the school building that they took
Chemistry In order that they might
loiter unmolested about the school
building after study hours, pretend
ing to perform experiments In tho
Inbratory.
During the first part of tho year
we selected our class colors, maroon
and gold. After they wero chosen
we, wishing to display them publicly
wore them to school next day. It Is
needless for me to say that the sen
iors mado a big fuss about it, told
(Mr. Oday, and well, wo wero kind
ly requested to remove them. How
ever, the Jolly Juniors of 1911, gave
a Hallowe'en party which afforded a
fine opportunity for displaying them
in the decorations. No doubt some
of my classmates may remember the
trouble wo had In obtaining the dec
orations, how that big, live hungry
cow chased us thinking wo were
walking cornstalks. This party which
I speak of was delightful despite our
trouble.
The literary contest of 1911, wo
well always remember for after wo
had worked so hard to collect money
to buy flowers for our contestants, we
had the extreme pleasure of seeing
our beautiful bouquets given by the
Carbondale (contestants) ushers ac
cidentally or on purpose, to the Car
bondale contestants.
The latter part of the year passed
quite uneventfully except the day we
could legally assume the name Sen
ior. Under that name we assembled
Sept. 1911, all of course having the
senior privilege of taking tho rear
seats In tho study hall. Our stay In
most cases was brief for two meok
looking sisters can boast of having
live and six seats apiece, however,
some "goodie goodies" held their
same seats all the year.
One regret of tho physic class is
the falluro of a proposed fudge party
Perhaps you will wonder how we
could havo a fudge party in 6chooi.
'Well, It is Just this way: Mr. Oday
was away, but returning unexpected
ly, ho aueered the wholo thing
Chang, however, got some fun out
of it for ho drank tho milk we had
bought and hidden In the labratory,
nevertheless ho was nearly caught
and spilled some of it on the lloor,
which later we had to scrub.
It Is not necessary for mo to men
tion tho contest of 1912, for you are
all familiar with It, hut did you
not notice that Carbondale and
tHonesdale agreed for tho past In fifty
years liut Dunmore proved herself a
auitter.
Our school career Is now ended,
but 1912 expected to go right on
making her history, tho full account
of which will be given at our twenty
fifth anniversary In 1937.
KIDDLES.
Hy Agnes II. Mcfiraw.
During our High school course
many perplexing questions havo
arisen which we have not oeen auie
to answer. Having with us to-night
a "mystic" of some renown, it is my
purposo to see If she can answer
some of these riddles.
'Why does Hannah Harder like
to celebrate the seventeenth of Jan
uary? Don't you know that? Be
cause she likes to honor "Bonja
mln."
What part of Physics does Mary
Lonehan like to study best? That Is
easy. That which deals with light
and Rays.
What flower reminds Clara Kief or
her future life? Why "Jack"-ln-the-PulpIt.
Can you see any comparison be
tween Marie Wler and a music
book? Both are full of airs.
Why would Sing Sing be a good
place for Mary Blppol? Becauso
her musical abilities have become
too strong for Honesdalo.
Will you prescribe a proverb to
which Lulu Itickard better take
heed (?) undor tho present pros
pects? Havo you been waiting all
year to have that answered?
Changed tho name and not tho let
ter, change for tho worse and not
for better.
Why did Itay Sandorcock enjoy
his wholesome chats during noon
hour? I suppose because ho could
find nono "Wilder."
'How can you account for Margaret
Moran's dlsliko for n sunshiny day?
It must bo because the sun is mas
culine gender and she cannot en
dure his ardent glances.
How do tho two Smiths remind
you of two geometrical figures? Any
ono who has studied Geometry can
answer that. Ono reminds you of
"a solid whoso width is equal to its
length" and the other "two parallol
lines whoso perpendicular holght is
Incominondurable."
"What lessons has (Philosophy
taught which Betty Murtha cannot
learn? That too much of a tongue
wero worso than no tongue at all."
A STRANGER IN
'What degree would Deroy Krelt
ner soon obtain at college? Any of
the teachers could tell you that.
A. B Art of Bluffing.
Why did Margaret Purdy do so
well in the play? Because "Bobby"
was so familiar.
What maxim has been Agnes
Murray's refuge? " Better late than
never."
How can you account for Grace
Wilder's strange fancy for dress
making? 1 sunnoso because sho
wants to associate wlfh the Taylor.
'Why would Mortimer Stocker
rather walk along the board fence
in Seelyville than on Broadway, 'N.
Y.? Because there Is a Prosch at the
end.
Well, do you suppose you can
solve this: What is the magnetic
strength of the North Pole 3000cm
from the polo If lines drawn hori
zontally strike the pole 2G feet
from the ground and rays fall per
pendicular to the polo 20 feet apart,
each one being equal to GOOcm
drawn on the other side of the pole?
That s too much for me. 'We will
leave that for Mr. Kilroe "the man
of the hour."
CLASS PROPHECY,
By Dorothy Weir.
After being away for any ledgth of
time, it always gives me pleasure to
look over one of the county papers.
Here Is ono which I have Just receiv
ed; perhaps some of the topics will
interest you:
Wayno County Herald,
Honesdalo, Pa., 1930.
Just listen to this:
Senator Fritz lashes the Insur
gents in a stirring speech to-day.
With words that aroused patriotism
in tho hearts of tho masculine ele
ment and even brought tears to the
eyes of the suffragettes, ho appealed
for better, and more adequate legis
lation to control the monopolizing
tendencies of the women voters
With enthusiasm raised to tho high
est pitch by his eloquence the Senate'
rose in a body to applaud.
Is'ow Isn't this fine! Notoriety of
One of Our Wayne County 'Boys.
Prof. Dlrlam of Yale has completed
the dictionary which he has spent so
many long years In compiling. It
is a wonderful production containing
over 20,000 words, some of which
measure 0,000 inches in length.
Why wo are even represented in
the ads.
Teeth removed without pain or
worry. Carl Curtis, Dodtlst. Wo all
knew Carl had a good pull.
Dein Bros. Meat Market. High
est quality meat makes you grow In
weight and stature. Why, I wonder
why Katherlne does not try this.
Carroll's Candy Kitchen. High
grade confectionary. French kisses
n specialty.
There certainly must be some 1912
news In the Personals. Sure enough
hero it is:
Francis Brown, head of tho Stato
Reform School for Boys, is visiting
at her former home.
Hannah Harder, a student of tho
Class of 1912, according to rumor,
will soon 'becorao Lady Benjamin.
Bessie Caufleld, tho famous musi
cal composer, published a great song
hit entitled " Never on Time."
Mary Bracey opened a hair dress
ing department in New York City.
We always thought sho was practic
ing for something like that whon
she went to school.
Bertha Flora has accepted a posi
tion as Instructor In physical culture
at the Stato Normal school.
'Hilda Dunn has completed her
course at school and accepted a posi
tion as nursery governess. This will
not be a surprise to any of her
friends, as during her senior year
sho was found to bo fond of children.
'Well if hero Isn't Vera Ebcrhardt's
picture In the paper.
I hereby announce myself as can
dldato for Mayor. If elected I prom
ise to perform my duties to tho best
of my ability. All true women llock
to my standard.
I always knew Eva would do
something like this. If horo Isn't
her name In tho court notes:
"Fierce Struggle With a Jail
Breaker." As Eva Burkart, tho Il
lustrious sheriff of Honesdalo, was
making her way Into tho Jail yestor
day, a prisoner attempted to pass
her In tho corridor. Sheriff Burk
hart struggled with tho prisoner and
aftor rapping him gently over tho
head with tho butt end of her ro
volvor, soon had tho would-bo des
perado back In his coll. So this is
tho outcomo of Charlotto's curiosity.
Book News. Charlotto O'Connoll
recently edited a book of miscellane
ous questions. Soveral others havo
failed in tho attempt to accomplish
this feat, nono being so well versed
in tho art of asking questions.
Well, I never thought that it
would como to this:
At tho Lyric: Do not fall to eco
HIS OWN HOMEI
-Qreag in Atlanta Constitution.
Harriot Hnmbly, tho famous poser
for moving pictures, at tho Lyric
next week. Tho part Miss Hambly
will play on Monday will be that of a
Jointed doll.
I never thought this papor would
have so much news about our class.
It certainly was a pleasant surprise.
1912 has surely made its mark in the
world.
I'KOlMiKCV oiiD HOME WEEK
IN 1030.
By Cliarlotto O'Conncll.J.
'Having received an Invitation
from a former classmate to attend
an Old Home Week given at Hones
dale on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of
September, 1930, I readily accepted,
thinking of tho good tlmo I would
havo seeing my friends. Soon the
time drew near for me to start on
my Journey. I was more than anxi
ous to see a familiar faco. 'As I
stepped on the train at Carbondale
I spied the smiling countenance of
our class president, Deroy Kreltner,
swashing baggage on tho D. & H..
I had to stop and think for a mo
ment, how he should secure such a
position, but the thought 1912 all
came back to me. When we stopped
at Farvlew I noticed a lady arrayed
in a nurse's garb, her face seemed
familiar; taking the second glance
1 found it to be Marie Weir upon
inquiring of the baggage master, I
learned that she was head nurse at
the asylum.
Gradually I grew anxious, the
time was drawing nearer, within Ave
minutes I hoped to bo In my home
town. I gathered together my van
ous parcels, made sure I had my um
brella, so when tho conductor called
'Honesdalo, I was the first to set foot
In dear old Wayno. As I gazed at
tho throng of strange countenances
I was quite disappointed at not see
ing a familiar face, but alas! upon
a more thorough examination I spied
behind a tall, slender figure, a little
woman elbowing to the front, as
usual, which I soon discovered to bo
one of my dearest friends, Grace
'Wilder. In tho excitement and con
fusion at tho station, my umbrella
caught in the wheel of a baby car
rlage. Upon turning around to beg
tho most humble pardon, I recog
nized Margaret Purdy. She extend
de a kind invitation to me to visit
her at her homo In Seelyvillo during
my short stay In town.
Thinking it profitable to attend
to some legal business, beforo visit
ing my friends, I took a car at tho
corner of Ninth and Main and called
at tho law office of Mortimer
Stocker. Here I Inquired as to tho
welfare of my classmate, Ray San
dercock, and was delighted to hear
he was doing wonderfully well as
Professor of Scientific Agriculture at
Stato College. From thero Grace
Insisted that I go to her home. On
reaching our destination I noticed
tho house bore tho sign "Tailor
Within."
That night tho suggestion was
mado we attend tho chief place of
amusement, tho Lyric. Being hand
ed tho program, my eyes fell upon a
familiar name, "Clara Rolf, tho
Professional Glggler." I always
thought it would como to something
liko this. I again picked up the
program and perceived the nnrao
"Agnes Murray, tho Fancy Dancer."
When wo came out my attention
was drawn toward a brilliant olec
tric sign which Tead, "Smith's Pool
Parlors." I asked Grace what
Smith that was, as I remembered
thero wero two Smiths in our class.
She asked mo if I did not remember
Chang Smith as a pool shark.
Passing the city hall wo wore startled
by the cry, "Vote for Women," as
wo stopped to listen I recognized tho
familiar voice of Lucy Lowe, deliver
ing a closing address to a band of
suffragettes.
Next morning I visited my Alma
Mater but did not recognize nny fa
miliar faco until I reached high
school. As I was escorted Into the
class room now occupied by IMIss
dregory, I heard tho voice of Mary
Lonehan dictating tho Periods of
English Literature to tho Litoraturo
class. While thoro I picked up an
Outlook, which was not strango to
mo and much not to any students
of H. II. S. Glancing through it I
noticed tho namo of Agnes McGraw,
ono of tho popular contributors. As
wo entored tho laboratory I saw Tom
Kllroo explaining tho wireless telo
graphy to a Physic class, but I soon
lenrnod that ho was Prof, of Physics.
I suroly onjoyed my visit at school
and delighted to think that two of
my classmates woro toachlng thore
Leaving tho school wo wnlked
down street and met Elizabeth Mur
tah, society leader of Honesdalo and
Dorothy Weir. Upon inquiring' as to
hor wolfaro I was told sho had taken
a successful courso in domestic sci
ence, preparing for tho future My
attention was next drawn to a sign
"Gymnastic Toachor," but soon1
learned that my friend, Maudo
Smith, was holding that honorablo
position. I of courao called on her
and It wns thoro that I hoard of tho
good news of Mary Hippie, living in
Paris, Franco, designing styles for
womon. But after hearing tho good
news I was rather disappointed
when told that our vnledlctorlau,
Lulu Hlckard, was still smashing ,
hearts and Marguorlto Moran was
Just living In hopes.
The tlmo was passing quickly and
my visit wns soon to bo n thing of
tho past but to think that 1 had
seen my classmates happy! 'I surely
enjoyed my visit nnd dreaded tho
day when I was to leave, but alas!
It enmo too soon and beforo I had 1
tlmo to rcallzo I was swiftly encod
ing away, hack among the strangora

diligent work have successfully won

to prepare this work thoy havo fln-
aliy succeeded In placing beforo you
