The Senior Class According to Shakespeare.


Geo. Taylor--"I fear he will prove a weeping philosopher when he grows old, being so full of melancholy sadness in his youth."
Fanny Sanford--"Pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, audacious, without impudency, learnedwithout opinions, and strange without heresy."
Delmar Herbert--"I have immortal longing in me."
Beatrice Reynolds--"She have a pleasing eye, a merry spirit, and her every motion speaks of grace."
Earl Low--He is an honest, willing, kind fellow and I warrant you no tell-tale. His worst fault is that he is given to prayer; he is something peevish that way."
Grace Conerd--"I am the daughter of my father's house and all the brother too."
Harry Cary--"His heart and hand both open and both free, For what he has he gives,--what thinks he shows."
John O'Connell--"That is a brave man. He writes brave verses, swears brave oaths and breaks them bravely."
Arletta Vail--"Who chooseth me shall have as much as he deserves."
Arthur Hayward--"We well know your tenderness of heart."
Clara Coe--"I would have thought her spirit had been invincible against all assaults of affection."
Walter Scheel--"He was a scholar and a ripe and good one; exceeding wise, fair spoken and persuading, lofty and sour to them that loved him not; but to those men that sought him, sweet as summer."
Nellie Franklin--"Man is a giddy thing and this is my conclusion."
Claud Camblin--"With eyes wide open, a living drollery."
Mary Kringel--"She is not forward but modest as the dove. For patience she will prove a second Griselda."

Karl Steinke--"A Daniel, a Daniel! yea, a Daniel; oh, wise young man, how I do honor thee."
Josie Marshall--"A very good piece of work I assure you, and a merry."
Beulah Kringel--"She is so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition."
Belle Bradbury--"She hath many nameless virtues."
Bertha Keeley--"Those about her, from her shall read the perfect ways of honor."
Charles Hulley--"The best conditioned and unwearied spirit in doing courtisies."
Mabel Woodward--"Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire."
Belle Colver--"I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me."
Mabel Hartshorn--"She's a fair lady; I do spy some marks of love in her."


Lines to Winter.


Let others glory in verse and rhyme,
About the flowers and glad spring time;
But give me, I humbly beg
The time when spiders up your arm
Crawl not; and when no roving ants
Upon your face and neck do dance;
And no small worms both brown and green,
Spinning from the trees are seen;
And midst the heat, the dust and sweat,
While thunder storms are booming yet,
Taking the weather
And all together,
Have the winter time I'd "rether."       F. B. S.
