The next item of interest occurred in the form of a Christmas party. We had a huge Christmas tree,
 thanks to Francis >Cobey and Howard Beecher. The decorations were do- mated by. ddftereIit- -fflshfbefs .ofH' fthe class. Each. :Ine1hEer: .raeeRe cd one or more gifts Miss Elaine Wright in cooperation with the T::S. c. k. worked very hard to hove this party a success. Thanks to Miss Wright and all the other helpers. The T. S. c. K.' also furnIsh4d' Christmas
 joy for three families in the Town i of Beriir, y!ta' thes way or food: and
 During January little happened ex- cept of course, mid years, which note We want to forget.
 About this time a J. H. S. orches-
 tra was started. Great expectations
 were raised. The girls had visions
 of themselves dancing and the or
 chestra playing fof'es thenl.e zray ..r--t f1e;
 hour ~ But woe be urltn-- them, tne+ orchestra was a complete. failure. The reasons were: First, the violin ist couldn't see why he had to play the Sd and 4th position; second, the
 pianist, being a quiet sort of fellow
 said that the violinist and drummer made teo %much noise; third, one
 member -absplutely refused to play
 unless lie had three or four weeks | to practice. each piece in. Thus the orchestra was doomed.
 | February 14, our class together
 with the other classes in the J. Fl. $.
 held a Valentine party which was
 proposed by Miss Scollon, our be- | loved principal. All the teachers
 were present and the entertainment
 was provided by a number of the
 freshman pupils. Refreshments were served and enjoyed by all.
 The next event of note was on
 February 2S when the freshman class
 under the leadership of, Miss Beard,
 Miss Honiss. and Miss Loyons, took
 sleigh ride to -AIeriden by way of
 Cat-hoie. It Was a very cold ride and the hot chocolate which was
 served at a drug store in Meriden
 was indeed welcome. We returned in the wee small hours of the
 morning, a tired but happy crowd. During March we visited the cap itol in Hartford with Miss Beard,
 and Miss Honiss. While the chief thing that we went fo ~seess was the
 capitol, where by the way, we shook
 hands with Governor Lake, we also visited the library, armory, cathe-
 dral and the museum. -. On May the 23d we were privi-
 legged to hear Miss Boards father,
 the Rev. MT. Beard, who. is on furlough from China, address the
 school on the country of China. He
 also spoke to our geography class
 describing the country as to people,
 habits, cities, and industries. We also had, two gatherings of
 the T. S. c. k. during May One in
 the form of hike with Miss Cor ! ton. at which time We selected a place for our last dog. roast. This
 dog roast was held the following
 week. We had special time and al-
 most drank MT. Baure's we'll dry
 on our return which. was about 6:45. i D. m. -"'~-
 For the closing of. this .eventfui and
 joyful history we hold class day on
 the Fist of. June, Then shall we i look over our past years, remem-
 bering our good times. hard studies. trying days of examinations, and smile with corltefted feeling. know ling that we have spent a profitable
