sure that my teachers and classmates unite In thanking Class '90 for this pleasant sight. Verses Read on Class Night BY MISS NELLIE J. BELL. _June 2, 1891._ Hail! To our friends, both one and all, Hail! To our neighbors, great and small, Hail! To the sweet June air and sun, Hail! To the Class of '91. For the past eight months we've been working, Working with might and main, To get Phonographic outlines Fixed firmly in our brains. But now our work is ended, Our Winter's work is done; Then hip hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, For the Class of '91! And we smile as we think of the hours That we thought so fraught with pain; They have gone like the fleeting shadows, N'er to return again.

And now in conclusion we bid you adieu And make room for the Class of '92. Now give three cheers, and three times three For this glorious G. S. M. & T. God's blessing be on it forever, we say, May it know naught but prosperous days. Address to the Graduating Class _On Examination Night._ BY W. L. MASON, INSTRUCTOR.
