After a few days our government heard that the new territory known as Freshmen were going to try to elect officers without first being ad- vised by some competent nation. Of course we could advise them but as they didn't ask us about it we decided not to let them hold their meeting. This plan was successful for us but 1t left them without a government Tor some time.
 In order that the more important nations might know that we existed on his earth. Miss Pike, our new mu- sic teacher. put some of our members in her chorus and in Musical Sketch es." Anna Johnson, Dorothea and Priscilla Powell came to join the Soph omore nation.
 The only event was the picnic held at Roseland Lake in June. Thus end ed the year of this established nation in Woodstock Academy.
 When We returned to take over the more important government of the Ju nior nation in 1928, there were three new International Directors to aid us in the right paths of learning and higher education. These new direc- tors were Mir. Ellis with his assistants, Mrs. Futile and Miss Upham.
 In the new election of September We elected Dorothea Powell, presi- dent; Priscilla Powell vice president ; Eugene Hubbard, secretary of state Ruth Pamer, secretary of treasury and Miss Louise Pike. was advisor to the president and the nation.

History of the Glass of is3o

In 1926 from the districts of Wood stock and pomfret, seventeen young people landed on the steps of Wood- stock Academy.
 We all arrived on the same day and spent most of it trying to see where we were supposed to go and what we were supposed to do. From every corner the Sophomores appeared, ready with advise for us. At last We decided that to become colony we must have some governing head in or der to accomplish the goals we had set out to reach. So we elected Ma rion Cady. president; RoXanna Child vice-president; Jane Lyon, secretary Elsie Hubbard, treasurer and Miss MacComber our advisor.
 Organized as a colony, then we tried to establish ourselves with the rest or the school. namely. Sophomores, Ju- niors and Seniors who called us the usual name of "Freshmen.
 After a few weeks we were inform cd bv the Sophomores that we, as Freshmen had to give cheers and sing the Alma Mater before the assembly .on a certain morning So We called a class WEtLlHk anu NidNtAatA AbNaA Nt "a and over. On the assigned morning we gave them.
 In spite of the fact that the Sopho- mores thought Us as green and awk- ward. Miss Drake put several ol our members in the play, "Air. Bob, which she was coaching.
 Nothing more interrupted our eolony until June when we held our picnic at Roseland Park. In planning it We asked permission to go early in the afternoon. This. we were granted and everything went fine until late in the afternoon when some of the Soph- omores came down. Then the quiet class was turned into an uproar of laughter and noise. Thus the tortures of the year were over and even then We started planning how to treat fu- ture freshmen.
 In September of 1927 our colony returned informing other nations that We were ready to become a nation known as Sophomores. We imme- diately held election which resulted in Elsie Hubbard being president; Ruth Palmer. vice president; Marion Cady, secretary of state; Eunice Pike, secre- tary of treasury and Miss MacComber stiIl chief advisor.

Are we dreamers? We should be, but the important thing is that We should also be doers. seeking to make our dreams come true The spirit of adventure, the spirit of quest is so important in life. Trails spread out before us; some appearing smooth and pleasant. others seeming steep and beset with difficulties; still others leading to the valley of deceit, false hood, unclean living. To everyone these paths are open and it remains for each to choose between victory and the heights or deieat and the depths. The real explorer locates the true trail. follows his guide, falls per- haps, but rises again to reach his goal. He is never satisfied with easy attainments-half hearted accomplish ments. Therefore the products of his toil will be lifted to a higher degree of character. and different tasks will be overcome.
 Then let us dream but let us also realize and take up the challenge of adventurous living, the quest for the finest and best values in life.
 John Oxenham says to us; ''To every man there openth
 4 way, and ways, and a way; And the high soul climbs the high
 way,
 And the low soul gropes the low, And in between on the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro.
 But to every man there openeth 4 high way. and a low
 And every man decideth
 The way his soul shall go"

Every year in the spring some af- ternoon Is set aside for rakinc up leaves on the campus by the school This year everyone hurried and fin- ished early. Then the Senior nation served eskimo pies and cookies to all.
 On June second, all the nations went to Roseland Park for a picnic. There were athletic events and games after lunch. After these were over we went out boating. Thus ended the studies of the Senior nation. Now here We stand near the uneNplored land of opportunities known as the Future, and we are going to face 1t with the same courage that We have shown in years before.
