INTRODUCTION In the present day and age we hear a great deal about court and court proceedings. We have courts of justice, courts of appeals, Supreme Courts, and last of all courting, which, of course, we know nothing about. A good many years ago, King Arthur instituted among his knighted a brave man by tapping him on the shoulder with a the chief duty of the members was to right wrongs and do good throughout the world. Our class has taken delight in considering this school as the Court of Knowledge and ourselves as Knights and Ladies of it. The ceremony of knighting has always been an impressive 0116 since the time of chivalry. In days of old, the King knighted a brave man by tapping him on the shoulder with a sword. Tonight is the time for the knighting of the members of our Court. In this democratic country, we must use a cere- mony entirely our own. The Court of Knowledge assembled around its Long Table, therefore, decided that each one should rise and read his or her title, to the high dignitaries of our court, who have already passed on the fitness of each to under- take the new duties. Thus shall we assume our names of Knights and Ladies. CLASS HISTORY ' Four years have the members of our class passed in the East Hartford High School, our Court of Knowledge, prepar- ing to go out into the wider world of college or business. Here we have grown up to be worthy Knights and Ladies winning many struggles which will help us in our future lives. Of course we do admit that we have committed many errors, but, as each year has erased a few of our faults, we are now ready to start out with a good record. For this we owe a great deal to our teachers, who have so willingly helped us over the diffi- cult places. To-night we are gathered for the last time around this Long Table. We are looking forward to the future, but we are leaving this Court of Knowledge very reluctantly. Often in the days to come our thoughts will fly back, even though we are not here in person, to the happy hours of work and play which we spent here. The first year we were called, very appropriately, the Freshmen, because of our greenness. In our ignorance We even braved the wrath of our superiors by asking the location of the various court rooms. Soon, however, we knew where they were so well that we could have found them in our sleep. The Green Flag was continually waving over our barracks in spite of our struggles to substitute an emblem of Blue and White, the reward which would be given to us if we conquered our greenness. 26 K1
