The first time this has been done in a great while. Another feather was added to our hat by representation of 15 of our men on the track and baseball squads. We were now being looked up to for in September we were to be sen- iors.
 Summer came and went and we returned to school full fledged Sen- iors. Gone were all in1eriority com- plexes, we were dignified. but not high-hat. For the third and last time we chose our officers. This was done with the noteworthy precision of intelligent Seniors. Frank McGrath was chosen as our Presi- dent, Betty Barker our Vice Presi- don't. Dorothy Wright our Secretary and John Matulis the guardian of our vast treasury.
 We started with . Bang this year. '27' will always be remembered as being the nucleus of the team that wo- the state football champ ionship. Zaleski. Bromberg, Mat ulis Anselmo. Bruce, McGrath. Hav-
 
 members of our class all received rtheir letters. In due time the, bask- etball team took four of our class as regulars, and with Zaleski their captain Havlick, McGrath and Mat ulis were the others, After a success full and what looked like another championship for Coach Cassidy and Red and Gold a fatal blow was struck when Zaleski. Havlick and McGrath were declared ineligible for violating headmasters' rules. But with the help of more or our class we managed to carry on for the rest of the season.
 "Now the class turned to the so- cial side of our school. Three of our class were elected to offices in the Senior Cub, McGrath became Pres- ident. Paula Zotter; Secretary and Al Havlick was to watch over the mint. One of our number, Gunnard Carlson was chosen President of the Amphion Club where seven other seniors were taking active part in the clubs productions. Class Day rolled around again and we as Sen iors reigned supreme, predominating in our Blue" and popularity on the dance floor. Again we were the bright lights in sports where We were rep resented in baseball and track by fourteen of our class, including the two captains Matulis and McGrath. Seven of our number. the most in the schools history, were honored with white sweaters, for excellency in three major sports. They were McGrath, Bromberg, Matulis, Zales- Xxi, Havlick, Morin and Conley. We were again to the front in the so- cial activities, when our Promenade was a tremendous success and our Banquet equally so, for with appe- tites of such as "Firpo" Anselmo and "Herbie" Anderson what couldn't be success.
 But tonight 1t behooves us to look back upon three exentful years ---years Of toll, joy, and success.

Parents, teachers, friends and classmates
 Tt is my privilege and pleasure as president of the June class of 1927 to welcome you to these exer- cises this evening. l am taking this opportunity to thank you all for your encouragement and assistance during the three years past. In our parents we have found unlimited patience and help when help was most needed: in our teachers a will ingness to smooth out and make pleasant the path to knowledge; in our friends the pleasant company for our leisure hours: and in our class mates . depth and bond of sympa- thy which can never be severed. For these things we thank you each and every one. And now to a light CT vein. We have prepared for this evening musical comedy, which idea is not original. having been used by the two previous classes, but "c dIC HUI OuuSil5 uIdlS 1ullON d- tions. We trust this will please you, meet with your approval. and still further show the reai meaning of our motto. Always to Excel.'" President McGrath's speech as he presented the class banner to Presi- | dent Zehrer of the incoming class was as follows:
 Tt is my pleasure and duty as president of the graduating class to present to you for the class you are about to lead, this banner in behalf of the class I am leading. Its his tory began in 1924, when 1t was pre- sented to the June class by the pres ident of the mid d-years. Each class has done it's part to live up to the ideals for which this banner Is a symbol
 Loyalty truthfulness and coop eration are its chief characteristics.
 "Our class has followed and 1 strongly upheld these ideals for the past three years. and tonight vii, again find new friends.
 we look to you to carry on these ideals. and as you graduate, you tos will pass it on with honor"

! 10 take care or the students. There were so many bicycles in those days the authorities found it necessary to construct special bicycle stand. Pass by the school now and one will see about 25 or 30 automobiles parked about the streets near the school. One student said. Nobody ewalks to school now"
 An Unsung Hero
 Out on the front lawn of the school, massive form swung pa tiently at little white ball. wield- ing slender stick. George Cassidy, although he had moulded inexpori- enced youths into machine-like foot i ball players, was not having too much success directing the eventual destination of the pellet. "Cas" was getting more and more inpatient the little white ball was getting more and more elusive when. with an indignant snort, the big Yer monter waved his club down upon the ball with all his 300 pounds of might. Bing-went the ball-zzzz- through the air-conk-as 1t landed.
 The irresistible force was the little white ball--its target was the shining head of Jesse D Sallee, head of the English department. The re- suit was surprising and painful.
 Principal Slade was appealed to by the head of the English depart ment. Principal Slade used gentle tact. Coach Cassidy was informed that the front lawn of the high school Is no place to lay down 250 yard drives. especially when MT. Sallee is sauntering past. Coach Cas- s!dy bowed sorrowfully beneath the yerdict-and another Bobby Jones was nipped in the bud of his ca reer.
 A Chance to Get Acquainted
 The new rule which the school board put into effect at its last meeting which provides that stu dents who absent themselves from school five days whether successive ly or separately without satistac- tory excuse must be expelled for the rest of the term, will give the students a chance to get better ac- quainted witt the school.
 Tenth Anniversary
 Miss Ilga F Harvey, whose efforts in directing the students in present. irg the class night production last evening were crowned with success is completing her 10th anniversary as q senior class adviser.
 Since 1917, Miss Harvey has been actively engaged in directing the activities of the class. That was her first year as teacher In the school system of this city. All the socials preceding graduation, the senior promenade. senior banquet, and class night are held under Ter supervision.
 Miss Harvey holds high place in the esteem of the seniors and on several occasions she was mentioned among the faculty members to whom the Beehive" class book would be dedicated. In 1918 the classbook was dedicated 10 her by unanimous vote of the students. Probably one of the most popular members of the teaching staff in the academic building is Miss Adri- enne Raby, who. during the past two years, has been an assistant 10 Miss Harvey in conducting the ac- tivities Of the graduation classes.
 Like Miss Harvey, Miss Raby has also received the highest honor the students can give a member of the faculty when the Beehive class book was dedicated.

CLASS HISTORY Written by
 Albert Haylick and Fred MOrtn and Read by Donald Lynch

"As the end of our high school career draws near. memories of past years come to our vision. It is with both pride and regret that we look back upon our three years in this school. It was in the fall of 1924 that this class first saw light in this dear old Senior High.
 "We were 8 wild-eyed. happy lot of novices, hilarious with the thought of the newer and higher life that was before us. Freshmen we were and freshmen we were destined to be for one year. And it was not long before we learned what it was to work and we can safely say we did 1t. But soon we were given the privilege of electing our freshmen officers who were: Herbert Schick, president; Dorothy Wright. vice president; Betty Barker, secretary, and John Dem ing, treasurer. We have no memory book of our activities in this first year. We were merely contented to study and attain a scholastic repu7 tation Unusual for freshmen of N. B. H. S). The only real enjoyment we had that first year was Class day where our Blue predominated.
 "In our second year the boys re- turned to school, changing 2 from short to long pants and filled with the desire to become active in the field of athletics. The young ladies fearful lest they be outdone by the ambitious stronger sex. changed from long to short skirts and stepped forth into the light of so- cia( prominence. Now We began to feel important and lost our fear of the upper classmen and demand ed place among them. Brave!y we set forth and elected class off, cers who were the same as our freshman year: Herbert Schick, president; Dorothy Wright. vice president; Betty Barker; secretary. and John Deming. treasurer. Now we began to show our speed. Our class was represented on the foot

"1947-What | year 1t has been! After twenty years of quietly and peacefully pounding . typewriter my health. always delicate. wa. completely shattered. The grea. nerve specialist. Deming Hewitt, told me that I must find some out side work to do. A book company offered me . position as house tc house canvasser. for the complete works of the renowned authoress, Helen Paskus. edited by the Anna Traut Publishing Company.
 Many and varied were my book selling experiences. I travelled from Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate and from Parama to the Arctic Circle. Let me tell you something of the people I met that year.
 Almost the first person VII opened the door to my bold knock was . girl whom I had known as Dorothy Wright. but of course the Wright part was changed, and she introduced me to her husband, . meek little nah in gold trimmed spectacles who supported his wife and three children by writing four line verses to advertise CampbelPs Soups. Dot knew the histories of quite a few of my old class mates in N. B. H. S.
 These are the historieA as she receunted them to me. Betty Bark CT had accepted a position with . famous museum as an authority on prehistoric animals. She was famous the world over for her discovery of the long sought missing link. Anoth- CT girl who had won renown as . scientist was Anne Zahnlieter. her discovery of perpetual motion had astonished the scientific men of the world.
 "Marion Muller was head of the women's Foreign Mission and had become famous through her relf- gious articles in a well know weekly paper.
 Euclid Hartung writing under the name of Peggy Peach was editing feminine topics in the Hartford Courant, which by the way was con- troiled by Edward Sweitzer.
 Fred Morin had opened . store specializing in "All that the well dressed man will wear"
 Gan you imagine Mildred Wight wood as proprietress of mail order matrimonia bureau?

Her method was to fea- ture a picture of Rose Battaglia, . famous Chicago movie actress. &C.,
