Presidents Address for Class Day MR. FENNER, Parents, Members of the Faculty, and friends of ,35: In behalf of the Class of 1935 I extend to you a cordial welcome to this first exercise of our graduation week. Of course, we all realize that this particular func- tion would never have materialized had it not been for the threefold co-operation of parent, teacher, and student, a harmony analogous to that involved in the Roman fable concerning the stomach, Whose function was dependent upon complete co-ordination of all members of the body. The success of our endeavors is displayed in this hall, where sit side by side the agents of this worthy under- 1 H taking. THOMAS V- HEA1-EY At Classical the Class of ,35 has obtained not only P f-'lidfflf an academic education but also character training in preparation for future life. Furthermore, our life has been enriched by the many friendships We have formed during our four years here. For us Class Day is a time of reminiscence, whereas Graduation Day is a time of anticipation and regret. Naturally, therefore, today we are going to recall the pleasant memories of four years of happy associations. To present to you some tangible evidence of the gay activities and attractive personalities in the Class of '35, we are to deliver this afternoon a Class History and a Class Will and Testament. We extend to all our friends assembled here our most hearty greeting and hope you will take pleasure with us in our gala day. Thirtccrz

They sit down, fold hands, and look expectantly toward the platform. Their faces show eagerness and fear as their principal begins to speak to them. He welcomes them to Clas- sical, enumerates a list of can'ts and don'ts and encourages them to study hard. They Hle out quietly and file to the top of the building, resolving to take home seven books instead of the usual six. SCENE II Athletic Field. The last game of the girls' hockey series is in progress. The lone bleacher that is placed by the hockey Held is filled by Freshmen-and three upper class- men. The Freshmen cheer wildly as the game ends and Classical has won the champion- ship. SCENE III Room 43, Fourth Hour. A cat, which has walked in through the open window and sat on the window sill, quickly departs to the peace and quiet outside as someone throws a very soft orange to Harry Midgley. Mr. McKinley reminds his kindergarten that freshmen should be seen and not heard. I-Ie gives infant Teddy Phillips a P. M. for doing nothing. Bob Iones and lack Churchill are trying to get customers for their publication, Hal News, in which they mourn the fact that Harold MacGilpin is a hopeless freshman. SCENE IV A small, dark, precocious child wanders along a corridor reciting poetry. It is Norma Sharfman. She is not reciting Shakespeare, but a poem of her own making: Fourfeen
