the first mid-year class. It had ter minated its first year at the local high school. As it is a custom in the school to elect new officers each year another election was held. Harold Roberts was elected President; Rena Neri, president; Beatrice Peace secretary; and Gustave Hjerpe trea- surer.
 That year will be remembered by the class as n period of happiness: for our accommodation were a great deal better. As sophomores, the time went by very quickly. Then the time came when we realized that we were Juniors. That year we elected Joseph Curioni, president; Bessie Kramer, vice. president; Rena Neri, secretary, and Harold Roberts, treasurer. The ranks were fast thinning. It seemed as though fate were working against us. In the third year. more dropped out than in the two previous years.
 Then came our Junior Promenade: : something new in the history of the school. Never had social affair of this sort been held during the winter months. The committee. consisting of Myrtle unkelback, Rena Seri, Bea- trice Peace and Esther Futile. work ed with zeal and were rewarded by the affair turning out to be one of the most successful ever held here.
 At the beginning of our senior year, we elected Harold Roberts, president; Catherine Travis, vice president; Dagmar Carlson, secretary; and Ebbe Anderson, treasurer.
 ''Wc had about 70 members, most of them determined to stay with the class, if the faculty allowed. The ma 1ority of fiom succeeded and will in two days receive the coveted diploma.
 Last June the 1924 mid-years flew their color at Class Day, a far better than those produced by them fin the previous three years.
 This fall, preparations have been made for the first mid.year gradua- ton and also the accompanying acti- ,ities President Harold Roberts an- nounced the commltttes and work was started at once.
 Except for two socials for the pur- pose of raising money. the first affair of the class was the banquet The

us step by step through our entire High school education.
 Now the four years are over and we are facing the problems of life as they really exist. Some of us will enter upon business careers, some will go to college, but l am sure that all wills strive Loyalty to make the future the same success we have had in the past.
 "Ipros Seientia Portestas Este-or knowledge is power is the motto Of our class may we follow It's ideals and earnestly live by them.
 We are happy tonight in being considered a part of the New Britain High school, but there is an under lying element of sadness in the thought that we will be separated from 1t and all it means, graduation that long looked forward to goal be- ing but two days away. However this is no time for long speeches, we have prepared for you this evening a little entertainment which we hope you will enjoy, and so in the name of the mid year class of 1924, l bid you one and all a most hearty welcome"

Class History
 By Philip Fucker.

The class history by Philip Fucker follows:
 'The history of the mid-ycar class of nineteen twenty four is equal to that of any previous graduating lass. Although its numbers have been greatly reduced, 1t has achieved it's aim; to make the most of the oppor- tunities that this high school offers.
 There is a saying, DO not judge a book by It's cover" Then. do not judge this class by it's size, but by it's achievement.
 When this class entered the New Britain high school, it had nearly two hundred enrolled. As this was the first time a class entered the high school in the middle of the term. ar- engagements had to be made to accom- modate it. Although conditions for some were not satisfactory, the class in general made tho best of it.
