CLASS ODE.
I.
The winged moments fly, Long years have passed for aye, While tossing on the stream, Our bark has sped its way And now where drooping skies The restless sea enfold, What thoughts of future stir ? What memories wake of old ?
79
II.
Far o'er the pathless deep A mist its veil has drawn ; See we the falling shades, Or glimmers dusky dawn Of other years in view, That wait to add their store Of memories sweet and long To happy times of yore ?
III.
May ever, faithful ship, The wisdom gained with you, As once it led us all, Now guide us each anew ;
The breeze on rippling wave, The storm in foamy sky, Shall both proclaim your praise. Well earned in days gone by.
IV.
Alas 'tis time to haste, The moments e'en are heard When we too soon must say Our last sad sundering word, The faltering strains that now Our inmost hearts compel,- Hence ever on, good guide, Farewell-a last farewell !
-CHARLES J. ANDERSON.

Plan of Work :-
The first meeting of the Association for the current year was held October 22d. It consisted of a short business meeting followed by a sociable. The sixth and last meeting will be similar to the first.
In view of the present responsibilities of the individual teacher, it was deemed expedient to change the plan of work for the other meetings of the year, in order to remove the burden added by the previous demands of the Association. Therefore, lectures by different local celebrities are planned for the second, third, and fourth meetings. The nature of the fifth meeting is as yet undecided.
