Sparkling with wit, yet In a vein
reminiscent of the four years that the
class of IA have been members of the
c II. s., were the exercises OF the SEN
iors at the high school auditorium last
night. Witnessed by an audience that
packed the first floor and comfortably
filled the balcony There the seniors
made their last bows to the school, to
their teachers, their principal and sup
erintendent and bade last regretful
farewell to the school and surround
ings that have been SO dear to their
hearts. When the curtain fell. the
last piece to be staged in the auditor

and Indifferent have a history, and
that such condition was also true of
the class of IA. 1t had history. She
then proceeded to unfold the secrets
OF the class in manner most startling

that the little characteristics she

them after long and patient interviews
and much association with her suo-
jects.
The class entered the high school,
she said, in 1910 with 30 members,
and that three editions of the class
had already been issued. She then told
of the advancement of the class, of
their trials as undergraduates. Of pic

had participated. The historian stat

class was instrumental in forming the
first debating society in the school.
