LOEB, Men's Wear Farmer's Bank Building, Punxsutawney, Pa. \ \ And now, my dear classmates, what shall I say, that will adequately express our mingled feelings as wo ap proneh this farewell hour? The four hapjy years «»f High School have ilown so rapidly and now to our backward look, 'they present a vista without a shadow. At times shadows have arisen, but they served only to make brighter the succeeding; sun- Ugh: of good fellow-ship. We have met difficult problems and struggle with them has prepared us for future conquests. We have learned from association the value of friendship. And now a:-', we come t«> the partln?: of the ways, we would carry with lithe friendships formed here and, with loyalty to "i- T»unxsutawnoy Hlg'. School, from which we are proud graduate, we go forth always njindful of our motto—"Scimur Agendo." Wherever our lo4 may ho cast and whatever our environment, may n<> one of us ever be ashamed to own this motto, which will prevent him from bringing discredit upon the class of 1907. Wishing you abundant success through long years of noble living, 1 bid you farewell. you with a sense of tndAWwIless which we must Kck In vain to repay. You have labored untiringly and ineessanlly to prepare the class of 1907 «to face the future unflinchingly. We have been guilty of many indiscretions and short-comings during our High School course. But, like Napoleon, we wish to be judged by our noteworthy, no: our notorious deeds. The lat'ter. >Ve hope, you will try -to forget, tho' we regret that they ever marred our record. He assured that wherever the future may find us. Individually or unitedly, we will strive to be loyal to the precepts and examples you have so fai:hfully set before us. Wishing nothing better for succeeding Seniors than thf.'t they may receive instruction from you. the class of 190 7 bids you an affectionate farewell.

Our farewell vt you is tilled with deep gratitude, high hopes and best wishes. in .social realm The luncheon served overstepped .1 rule of the club which limits the viands to three separate and distinct kinds and the members held a short discussion as to whether they shouln fine the hostess for giving them too much to cat. There were mon boys than girls present, however, and it fell through. Misses Lyilia Parsons and Sarah Evans rcml"i'i'(l several Instrumental due's on the plnno which were greatly enjoyed by the guests. Those who had to walk home In the rain are .Misses Mabel St. Clair.

Clement Miner, the William Cullen Bryant of the school, did .his class | proud by reciting an original poem I eulogizing the public school system, and Miss Vere Simpson 'he class donor scattered gifts with Carnegie lavlshness, [ including a copy of the Ladles Home Journal, a miniature lantern, a nu king chair and a Brashear telescope. The Valedictorian. Miss Mary ClaTk with whose compositions Spirit readers are already familiar, easily surpassed all of her previous efforts. Her paper, which had for its subject the. class motto, "Scimur Agendo" was a model in composition, rhetoric and style and was faultless delivered. In presenting the diplomas Prof. A. M. Hammers added new laurels to his crown as an orator. His address was a classical, scholarly, thoughtful masterpiece of oratory, and furnished a fitting Inspiration for the voimg men and women of the class as well as to all who had the pleasure of hearing it. Last night's exercises were of silt h a character that tin y must have been exceptionally gratifying to the facul,y, directors and patrons of the public schools of Punxsutawny and especially to Prof. Hammers whose praises formed the keynote for most of the compositions read during the evening. The High School Glee Club and the High School Mandolin Club were both heartily encord after each number. There were a number of excellent compositions Included in th'e program that would be well worth reproducing in The Spirit, but we are unable to grant space for more than that port of the valedictory which was addressed to the principal, faculty, directors and class, and which reads as follows: After four years of association, the class of 1 !>07 has come to the place where we may no longer chornlcle Its deeds as a body. We must separate and assume Individual responsibilities. Should we leave the parting word un- Vsahl, we would bo untrue ito the sense of appreciation and grutltude of which we nre so deeply conscious. Our honored superintendent, Join- : Ing us in our Senior yeur and ming- j ling with us for so short a time, ns you j have, yet we have leared to honor and esteem you most highly; we all wish ito thank you for your hearty cooperation, your enthusiastic Interest," your wise guldnnce and your welltimed advice. May many more classes enjoy the privilege of your counsel. the pleasure of your friendship and the honot of your superintend- ■ ence. Gentlemen of the Board of Directors: We, aa a class, would not be unmindful of your Interest in us, expressed In so many substantial ways.

Personally, wo thank you for the Interest which you have shown in our class for supporting us so liberally, financially and otherwise, and enabling us to graduate amid such pleasant surroundings. Our beloved Faculty: ■ We come to The school year of 1906-07 in Punxsutawney came to a brilliant close In the Jefferson Theatre Thursday, when a large aiul enthusiastic assemblage, which was composed of the parents, relatives and friends of the Senior Clqjsfi, packed 'the handsome play house from pit to dome, and f »r three hours listened attentively to the rendering of a most excellent program. The curtain came up promptly at 8:15 o'clock, revealing two circular rows of happy human beings on the stage, the front line being composed of the seventeen young men and women who were about to make their di»but from the stirring scenes of school room life to the sterner and more somber duties of responsible citizenship, while just back of the.n sat the proud parents of the seniors nnd -the members of the School lloard. The curtain, arch and box seats were handsomly decorated with the class colors, green and white, Including a beautiful scroll which hold the class motto, "Sclmur Agendo," "We are known by our deeds." Following a well rendered overture by the High School Mandolin Club and the invocation by Itev. T. W. English, Miss Ellodle North dellevred the salutatory, a welyy wrttten, thoughtful and most creditable composition. The c lass history by Misses Helen tlyman and Edna Lucas, was made most interesting by the Intrductlon of cartoon illustrations of scenes and persons connected with the four year period of High School life through which they had emerged successfully Mis i Pauline Spencer's last will and testament was a well-writtea, ingenious composition that caused much merriment, as did the class catechism by Misses Olive Wetzel and Mabel Smith. "Higher Citizenship" was the title of an oration given with dramatic effect by Karl English, whose word pictures were exceedingly vivid and effctive.A recitation by Miss Marie Elder pleased the audience mightily, as did a brief but well rendered effort by Class Optimist John Donahue. Miss Lillie Weiss made a hit as a Class Grumbler, and the class prophecy by Miss Cuba Rod key and Jay Putney was an Innovation that caused great, merriment. The way they handle the dog nuisaneo question In OH City is described in the Derrick us follows: "An Innovation In the manner of collecting the city dog tax has been inaugurated by Mayor Confer, who will dispense with the services of ;i pound master and instead of rounding up the animals, the owners will bo prosecuted under the ordinance which makes it a misdemeanor to own or harbor a dog upon which the tax has not been paid and which provide? ithat the declaration must be mad< by tho owners or the person where the dog li harbored. A fine of not leas than tl and not more than $25 la attached to the violation of the ordinance. Ex-Patrolman Frank Mc- Vaugh has been appointed a special policeman to ace that the ordinance If enforced. The tax haa been due alnct laat June and dog owners better "get busy"' If they wish to avoid additional coat and some annoyance."
