Gen. Custer.
Longfellow.
Bryant.

L. M. Alcott.

Capt. John Smith.

For historic pictures and landscapes we would suggest the following an eminently appropriate:

Landing of Columbus.
Landing of the pilgrims.
Perry's Victory on Lake Erie.
Declaration of Independence.
Surrender of Gen. Lee.
Washington and his Family.
Lincoln and his Family.

It is a commendable custom for graduating classes to present a class picture as a farewell gift to the school from which they are departing, thus leaving behind a tangible token of their continued interest in the welfare of those who are following in their footsteps.
