SENIOR CLASS PLAY “£!)e Cl)ann £ cl)oor Presented by A. H. S. SENIOR CLASS That “Charm” is the most decisive factor in the life of a woman was proved when this clever comedy, “The Charm School,” was presented April 30, 1926. The fun begins when an aunt of Austin Bevans dies leaving him in charge of a girls’ school. He assumes his responsibilites and the comedy glorifies a little mischief maker. Elsie Bendotti, president of the senior class. The school curriculum is thrown to the wind, and in youth’s headlong flight of fancy romance blossomed into a fitting climax for the clever comedy.

@entor Glass J3tstorp IN the fall of 1922, a crew of sixty-five boarded the train. School Life, which ran between 1922 and 1926, in order to get some of the rudiments of the feat of engineering. In our apprentice stage, known as the Freshman year, we were advised by the higher officials, the faculty, until we were able to choose Miss Downs, engineer; Cleo Lechliter, conductor, Howard Furlong, assistant conductor; Laurine Anderson, financier and secretary; and Mildred Myers, telegrapher and reporter. We managed to glean the essential facts of our education on this first run and to become acquainted with the mechanical part of engineering. By the time we had reached the city of 1923, the officials gave us a leave of absence for three months after which our crew was promoted to run 1923 and 4. Another crew took our former place. We were now considered a very intelligent crew and were able to give much information to those below us. Although some had been represented on the previous run, more of our number were eligible to take out membership in the various guilds and unions. Our crew, termed the sophomores, were well known and respected. On this run Mrs. Grandy was engineer; Francis Avey, conductor; Katherine Allen, assistant conductor; Varro Rhodes, financier and secretary; Laurine Anderson, reporter. But now the officers deemed it wise to promote us to a more trust-worthy position, or to run 1924 and 5. We were well represented in the athletic and debating guilds, and the G. R. and Hi-y unions, as well as having representatives in other organizations. Several of our members were also awarded badges of merit and workmanship, bearing the inscription, “A.” We also sponsered a Lyceum course for the benefit of the Company workman. To show our gratitude, we gave a banquet, to which the Sen;or crew and higher officials were invited. On this run. Miss McGrew served as engineer, with Mrs. Grandy retained; Varro Rhodes, conductor; Laurine Anderson, ass’stant; Cleo Lechliter, financier; Roy Masters, secretary. Then the Company gave us a still higher award. We were promoted to the highest run, 1925 and 6, and were termed the Senior Crew. We entered upon this run, full of enthusiasm and spirit, yet with some misgivings, as it was the last run for this train. And because it was the last run, we determined to make it the most successful one of all. For greater efficiency in this work, we elected three engineers, Mrs. Maclay, Miss Codington and Mr. Bedell. The conductor was Roy Masters, assistant conductor, John Ferneau, financier, Fred Allen. Near the end, we put on a play, “The Charm School,” for the benefit and pleasure of tho co-workers. Although a few have dropped out, and others have been enlisted, the Senior crew have made the run successfully, and with dignity as befits workers of our position. We sincerely thank the officials and engineers for their splendid guidance in these four runs. Just now we are waiting for the train, Life, where we may gain a still greater education, and at this moment we hear it whistling in. Laurine Anderson ’26. [19]
