Under an arrangement which is a complete departure from the system of other years, the class history, class will and class prophecy will be read at the banquet of the Senior High school graduates rather than at the class night exercises. it was learned today from Miss Ilga F. Harvey. class adviser.
 On some occasions in the past members of the faculty and those who have had any connection with the class have felt sensitive about statements directed at them in the class papers. Miss Harvey feels that much of this embarrassment will be avoided If the papers are read at the banquet since this event is open only to members of the class and guests.
 Miss Harvey announced today the pupils who have written the accept ed class papers. Miss Virginia Le- May wrote the class history: Misses Libby Dunn, Phoebe BalIou and Evelyn Copeland composed the class prophecy. Miss Marion Schechtman wrote the class will.
 The social events from now until the end of the school year ere as follows: Senior club final social and meeting at Walnut Hill school or Friday.
