Vl- Some of us have been here a shorter time than others, some of us have been less successful than others ; but as a whole, loyal to each other and to the school, we edit this Class Book. It is one of the last things we may do together, and we are often thoughtful as we gather the records of the year. We remember defeats we have suffered, victories we have won, weakness and strength that have come to us, and we wish to carry with us a record of the memories ; — memories of class, of sport, of music, of pleasant clays together. We wish to have something to take us back to thoughts of school, our striving, our friends, our joy; but especially we want to leave behind us such a record of triumph and achievement, that other classes coming after, filling our places and struggling in our foot steps, ma} - find encouragement and new impetus, and climb onward to higher things than we have known.

The first important step was taken when we elected our class officers. We were no longer individual stragglers, but an organization of people, all working together for the glory of ' 06. On the night of November 8th, 1904, two great things happened. The returns from the election of President Roosevelt came in and the " Senior Mids " of Abbot gave their annual spread. You can see from that how closely our class is connected with the great affairs of the nation. Of course our Senior Middle year was a year of interest and we may say oi success, even if we did get beaten on Field Day, but the memories of that year have been dimmed by the splendor of our Senior year. We started but fourteen strong, but one of our number was forced to drop out because of illness. It was with sin- cere regret that we heard that she would not be able to finish with us. •9 Of course it is the things that pleased us most and those which frightened us most that stand out in our memory now : — the delight of giving our reception to the faculty and to our friends, closely followed by the horror of our Psychology examin- ation ; the long days of work culminating in the triumph of the successful presenta- tion of our play ; the delightful day spent at the home of one of our number in Win- chester ; Field Day ; the dance given to us by the trustees and our class banquet. These are the things which come first to our minds, but it is the daily work and as- sociation with friends and teachers, the little trips and informal gatherings, the new interests and the many kindnesses received during the year which will be remem- bered longest and which make up the real and lasting history of the class of 1906. May all classes to come find the happiness in their school life which we have found. Magaret Yexxette Herrox. A W b t w ■ 20 CLaxaL E CastLe.

We study old Macauley, criticism and the like But we really are not in it for we haven ' t studied Psych.

Do you think it will be realized that we haven ' t studied Psych ?

A new impulse has shown itself this year in the founding of the Odeon, a society for the purpose of encouraging the appre- ciation of good literature. The members derive much benefit as well as enjoyment from their meetings, and through their enthusiasm influence the other girls in school to be interested in good writing. The Courant has had some particularly good things this year in its literary pages, and the senior members of the Board are looking forward with high hopes to the bright prospects for next year and rejoice in the strength and stimulus gained through the three new editors. And then there are our Literature classes ! Our senior course is an unusually interesting one, and though it reaches out in many directions and touches upon the literary mysteries of all ages it gives no mere smattering of knowledge, but gains for us many real and life-long friends — Antigone, Faust, or Luria. We want to thank Miss Howey. Miss Converse, and Miss Towle for giving us so much practical help and inspiration in appreciating good and noble works, in understanding more fully human life, and what is best of all, in thinking for ourselves.

Vienna Qltu0tc © !USIC has always been a prominent feature in the life at Abbot from the Fidelio Society, which has been conducted by Mr. Downs and has been most successful in its concerts, to the small groups of girls who walk around the circle after dinner singing the popular songs. Mr. Downs has been most enthusiastic in his work in school, and has made us successful in whatever we have attempted. Every girl feels the spirit which he shows and can not resist working with him and for him. We all look forward with interest and pleasure upon the series of concerts during the winter term which he provides for us. We boast of a Glee Club, also, which has been doing some good work, and show- ing its success in the concert it gave late in the winter. Our occasional Sunday evening gatherings in Miss Means ' room are a proof of the interest that the girls themselves take in their music. Altogether, we feel that the musical atmosphere is unusually strong in the school this year, and we know that where this is true kindliness and happiness are likely to be found.

In our Senior Middle year those to win the much-coveted " A " in field hockey were Misses C. Wil- liams, captain, S. Hincks, H. Jenkins, and L. Clark. At the Indoor Meet 1906 made a good showing, although we had no individual star to do our work as did the Seniors. On the basketball team the Senior Middlers seemed to have won first place, as Misses C. Williams, S. Hincks, E. Weissbrod and L. Clark were all Middlers. Although Abbot was badly beaten by Bradford, we all looked forward to better luck in the coming year. On Field Dav we won in basketball by a score of 1 5-7, but the class honors went to the Seniors, who had sixty-two points to our fifty-two. As we entered upon our Senior year, we all felt that we must do our best to help sustain a good school spirit. As representatives of 1906 on the hockev team were Misses C. Castle, S. Hincks, M. Bellows, and L. Clark. Though defeated by Bradford by a score of 5-1, Abbot played a hard and well-fought game. We were aroused to the fact at the Indoor Meet that the Senior Middlers had stolen a march on us, for they carried the day. On May fourth we won from Bradford in our annual basketball game by a score of 14-8. Miss E. Weissbrod ably captained the team, and Misses S. Hincks and L. Clark, of 1906, also helped forward the cause. On May sixteenth we held our last Field Day, and carried off the honors, gaining eighty-four points to the Senior Middlers ' thirty-six. Miss S. Hincks helped sustain the class reputation and won the cup, as she gained the greatest number of points. But in all our contests in our school and with Bradford may we have alwavs friendlv rivalrv and good fellowship. Lvdia A.
