and friends. Miss Bailey gave ns a delightful tea in her rooms the afternoon before the dance. Our greatest enthusiasm and excitement was shown when Miss Bailey told us she had planned a midwinter vacation trip for us at Intervale, New Hampshire. Our pleasure in all the winter sports was increased many fold by the proud feeling that we were the first Abbot Senior class that had ever had a midwinter holiday! It was at Intervale that we learned that we needed no tonic for our appetites. Our Senior play has caused us much hard work and denial of many hours of outdoor exercise, but we hope that its success was worth our labor. We shall have our banquet early in June which will be one of our last meetings as a class. The year is fast coming to a close and it is with sorrow that I write of it. The sad part of it is that no matter how many times we come back to our Alma Mater things can never be the same. We make our farewells regretfully, wishing that all the classes to come may feel that they are the heirs of all that Abbot has been, and that they have a part in all that she is to be. O. M. E. 27

Class f tstorp Early in September we, the class of nineteen hundred and thirteen, elected the officers for our Senior Middle year. We had a very successful year in spite of the fact that we felt as if we had the burdens of the school upon our shoulders. Our Senior Middle banquet and play were undoubtedly the most important events of the year. The most impressive occasion, which touched the heart of every Middler. was our first invitation into the Senior Parlor after the Seniors ' banquet. We then began to realize our responsibilities for the coming year and wished that we could be as successful as the class of 1912. The next time our class met together was early in September in the Senior Parlor, to elect our officers, and we made an attempt to find a motto — but as we were unsuccessful we decided that our theory must have been " Better late than never, " as we have just accomplished that task. Of course we felt our responsibilities at the opening of the Senior year. Our minds were filled with dread at the thought of taking Psychology, Ethics, and Theism. As we look back, we hope that, whatever we may have failed to grasp in the wide range of the Philosophy course we have at least learned that the successful road towards happiness lies in the doing of the greatest amount of good for others. Early in October we went on a straw ride to the North Andover Country Club and there we had a very enjoyable time. Shortly after Christmas vacation, came the Senior dance for the Senior Middlers 26
