 share of mistakes but 1t wasn't due so much 10 our ignorance as to the tender care of the upperclassmen who possessed of the idea that we should be thoroughly initiated. During our first year wo elected Frank Vibberts, president: Rose kirshnit, president; Flora Hine, secretary; and Howard Belser, trea- surer
 The most important event that year was Class Day. We wore our class color, nile green. for the first time; and added much to tho general color scheme in the gym by standing on the sidelines watching the dancers for as yet, in spite of the efforts of our upperclassmen guardians, we hadn't become social stars.
 The time passed by very quickly and in February, nineteen twenty. three we became Juniors. Like all other Junior classes of previous years, we also gave a prom. It was most select affair, due probably to the weather, but the nine couples who attended had q very enjoyable time.
 Our officers for that year were: preslden, Howard Stevens; vice. pre- sident. Mildred Quigley; secretary, Alice Corbat; and treasurer, Robert Christ.
 Again many of our classmates took part in the various school activities. Howard Belser John Grip, Neshan Deradorian, Edward O'Brien and Harold Beloin figured in football, basketball, track,an baseball. The strain of athletics must have been too much for them. for while they have all continued to be stars, only two were able to stand the pace, and have the honor of graduating with us.
 The Amphion club chose Flora Hne, Mildred Goodwin, Constance Carrier, Mildred Quigley, Robert Christ, and later, Sarah Confer and Bessie Kalmanowitz as members.
 After the midyear class of twenty four was graduated, we became seniors Muriel Kehve, Faye Ratten. bury, William Christ, Graham Mag cine, Frank Vibberts,and Howard Stevens left to go 10 other schools, Helen Symolon, Mary Pape and Muriel Stockwell advanced to grad nation with the June class of twep- ty four, so the class was much smaller, but we determined to stick together and do our best to make ourselves known.
 Howard Belser, one of the most popular boys in the school, and captain of the basketball team was elected president Flora Hine was our choice for vice president; Mar lon Gagan was elected to keep the records of important events during the year; and Charles Dehm was chosen to take care of the money which We hoped to raise.
 The presidency of this class must have been too arduous because not one of our presidents has completed his term Frank Nibberts left to go to the Gunnery school, Howard Stevens went to New Jersey, and Howard Belser preferred to wait un- til June to be graduated. In his place Frank Johnson was elected president.
 Before we could begin to make plans for our prom, banquet, and class night, and graduation, we had to raise q deficit from the Junior Prom of a sixty dollars. We at tempted a social dance in the gym nasium. but relied so much on the support of the undercassmen that we neglected to attend ourselves. The result was that we added four dol lars to our debt. However, by class dues and every members paying the quarter that he would have given had he attended the dance we clear ed our debt and were then free to hidNC oHl SluhhAlA'li plollc LJl' prom, banquet, and classnight com mittees were appointed. In our prom we tried the new experiment of combining with the Junior and Junior Midyear class. While the prom was a very pretty party. there was a smaller number present than we expected; but certainly everyone had a wonderful time.
 In fact, we seem to have been a class for experiments. They have been tried on us so often that we feel we must be an unusual class. We were the first class to be gradu- ated from the Junior High schools, first to come down to Senior High school on a three year basis; and the first class to be graduated un- der the Laboratory System.
 The happiest and saddest day of our high school career will be grad nation. While we shall be sorry 10 leave our teachers and friends, we cannot help but rejoice that we arc ready to receive the much coveted dinloua from N R IT. &
