We regret that all the members of our last year's Class have not been able to remain with us through this year, for we feel that they have missed one of the most interesting years of our Class' existence. Greatly do we miss the smiling face of our last year's President, Alfred Kuhn. Ruth Hoffman, Katherine Tuck and Elizabeth Cockcroft, are also among the missing. Katherine 24

reduced, but those remaining kept on with faithful hearts, ever following the class motto, Onward and Upward!'? This year there were a few additions-Leonor Randall, Paul Burrell and Ralph Vincent. Leonor Randall entered the class of Sophomores on Hallowe'en, and if you want to know whether or not she can entertain, just ask the Seniors! In the Spring there was a moonlight picnic to the river, but before they got home, big dollar drops of rain fell, which, however, did not spoil the fun. When I was three years old, the class was diminished still more-it was less than half the number that it had been in 1812. Harold Beresford was President this year. There were two new pupils, Marion Wright, from Iowa, and William Walker, of Ohio. That year I was surprised to see the girls of the school turn out to a High Jinks. They are going to make it a custom of the school. The Juniors gave a play, A Prairie Rose, on March 29, 1915, with Miss Stringfield as coach, and it turned out to be a ripping good success. This year, my fondest hopes for the class have been realized, and they have blossomed out into a graduating class of twenty-three, the largest yet that has received diplomas from my halls of learning. Bessie Stussy is the guardian spirit of the class, which is one of the jolliest ever found in Corning Union High. The various enterprises which they have undertaken have all been successful. The Carnival this year was superintended by them, and was a decided success. The play, Anne of Old Salem, was given May 26, and of course the Seniors lived up to their reputa- tion of coming out victorious in all they undertake. The class will graduate June 16, and although going out of my active life, I am sure they will always think of me with love and regret that the good old days are no more. Never have I cared for a class as I have this one, and never again shall care as much for any other. CORNING UNION HIGH SCHOOL. Per M.C.S.

Tuck is prominent in the school life of a certain Montana High, and we all know of the laurels won by Elizabeth Cockcroft, when she played leading ladys in Quality Street, a play given by Alameda High School. Elwood Arrowsmith joined our ranks during the month of March, coming from Oakdale High School. ' Our Class contributed largely to both basket ball teams, and have been prominent in school life. Several of our number participated in the Japanese 0peretta, given by the Sopho- mores. Velma Lyon played the accompaniments. The Juniors decided to give a play. As a result The Twig of Thorns, was chosen. Miss Albee was unanimously voted coach. The banquet given by the Juniors, in honor of the Seniors proved very successful. The remaining question is Which was the best, the 'eats' or the programme ?' 25
