Ifaistnrp uf the Glass uf '23 It was a dark and dreary day. I sought as my refuge the dust attic. Upon seeing an old chest lying upon the floor, I opened it, Ughl A spider crawled out. I blew the dust off the top layer of the many papers within, and pulled out a much soiled and blurred scrap of paper. There were a few lines at the top of the page which I could barely discern. Registration for Freshmen at 10:30 in the study hall . Oh, the memories that scrap of paper brought to me. I closed my eyes. Kly whole Freshman year spread before me just as though it were a map. I saw the gay and carefree Freshmen tearing through the halls of learning. Oh, the joy of being a Freshman. The class of '23 as Freshmen did not do much out- wardly that is for the school, but they did very much for themselves. They learned How to Study and how to make friends, they learned the councilor rules and many other things which proved invaluable to them in later yearsl '23 con- tributed Red'7 Baldwin to the football team. I-Ie was the second freshman to ever make a school team. When the Freshmen gave their informal, everyone said it was the best informal ever given. We continued our progress throughout our Sophomore year by carrying out our high ideals. ' Then, in our Junior year we began to attract attention. Deerfield's athletes have always stood as being above those of other schools, and the athletes of ,23 have always stood out as being above those of other classes. As Freshmen we sent a goodly number of men to the squad in football, basketball, and track. All these progressed until in 1921, when we sent our football champions to Brockton, six of the eleven regulars were from the class of ,23. The class athletes have shown this same prowess in all the other sports of our school. In our last year, the Seniors won the intra-mural track meet, and the Post-Grad's, who are really Seniors, won the basketball championship. The class of ,23 has also been foremost in social activities. VVe started out by giving numerous informals and parties, until in our Junior year came the crowning event of our social lives, The Junior Promv. Everyone in Deerfield, except the Juniors, who are prejudiced, will admit that the IQ22 Prom was one of the best ever given. But, of course, the senior year is the year which is most filled with activity. VVe started out on this final and most important year by electing the class oHicers. Vlialter Simmonds was elected president, Ted Watt, Vice-President, lXIargaret Pirie, Treasurer, and Phyllis Edkins, Secretary. These officers immediately set out upon their important duties. An annual board was soon chosen, with Joy Tibbetts as Editor-in-Chief. Never before in the history of Deerfield has the Editor of the Annual been a girl, but we are sure that she has fulfilled her duties as well as, if not better than, any previous editor. Early in the spring the try-outs for the Senior play, NIonsieur Beaucairew, were held, and Phyllis Edkins and Byron Harvey obtained the leading roles. They were both most admirably suited to their parts. As yet we do not know how the play will be, but We are fairly sure that it will be a great success. The Seniors have done a wonderful thing this year. They have established a school ring. Nlany other Senior classes have thought of this, but never under- took any action upon the subject. The ring committee under Serena Seymour selected a very good looking ring, and we feel sure that the rest of the school will feel obliged to us in later years, because of our choice. Our last year has been a mighty happy one on the whole, bringing with it as all years do, some joy, some sorrow. Our greatest joy, our Senior Class, our greatest sorrow, the loss of our much loved president, Wialter Simmonds. He was undoubtedly our best and finest Senior. At present our footsteps are upon the bottom rung of the ladder of success, but our past four years have taught us to climb. Vile will surely climb as all our other graduates have done, and we know that there is not one in our class who will not be worthy of his school. XITICKY DAY, ,23 STANLEY SHIPNESS, 723. Page 20
