CLASS ODE.
Tune-Love's Old Sweet Song. Fondly we hail thee, dear old Milford High, Sadly we sing our class's last good-bye ; E'en though the twilight shades our hopes from view, Yet with the dawn our way we shall renew ! There crowned in light, our word of destiny,
Vitae Vis Virtus, shall forever be !
CHORUS :
Let us pause a moment, ere we say farewell, In the halls where memory shall forever dwell ; Classmates, may we ever helped and guided be, By our nineteen- fourteen's loyalty, our constant loyalty.
Gladly tonight, dear teachers tried and true, Garlands of grateful thanks we twine for you ; Early and late, you've given of your store, Moulding our minds to knowledge more and more, Lifting our hearts to Heaven's holy light, -- Love's the return we pledge to you tonight ! CHORUS :
Now as we pass beyond thy portals wide, Deep in our hearts, dear school, thou'lt e'er abide. Youth e'er is fleeting ; it cannot lag for aye : Sweetness and sadness merge in memory's lay : Salve et Vale! Dear M. H. S., adieu ! Comrades and teachers, may Heaven smile on you ! CHORUS :
-Alma Evelyn Sweet, '14.

The commission has held nine meetings, at which it has received information from all of the departments and their officers, covering expenses of the previous fiscal years and re- ceiving estimates from each department for their respective needs for the coming year.
The limited time which the commission has had at its disposal, and the enactment of new legislation calling for in- creased expenses handicapped its work considerably, so that at the present time the commission is still confronted with work concerning recommen lations and suggestions in the diff- erent departments.
The commission unanimously votes to recommend the fol- dowing appropriations :
