Eiatnrg nf the Gllaaa nf 1925 ' OUR years ago on a morning in September, We were organized as a class, and JH on the evening of a day in June this year we shall disorganize. It seems that it will be only the evening of that same September day, and yet four hard years have passed. Since that day we have played the parts of downtrodden Freshmen, soph- isticated Sophomores, condescending Juniors and now we are in the stellar role of Seniors. Throughout our afhliation with this school we have done our best to put Bulkeley School in the high place she deserves. v A Our achievements have been many as well as great. Be it on the athletic Held or treading the boards, ,28 has done everything that it Went into with true Bulkeley spirit. Although athletically we have our best representation on the diamond, we have sent men of the highest calibre on to the gridiron, and in a large measure have accounted for the successful years at track that Bulkeley has known of late. As ,luniorstwe won the interclass baseball championship. In the gentler arts we have alwaysibeen a very serious contender for first place in the Pot-Pourri, and this year we hope to produce a class play. In addition to this, our members have aided considerably in making successes of the operettas held in the past two years. Our scholastic average is high, and in all scholastic activities and competitions we have played important parts. Last year one of our members tied for first place in the Declamation Contest. We also decisively established our supremacy over the class of 1927 last spring in an interclass debate, so that ours was the first team to have its name inscribed on the trophy shield now on exhibition in the main corridor. Our choice of leaders has always been well supported by experience. As Fresh- men we were captained by Earle Edgecombg as Sophomores, by Quentin Walsh, and last year by Morris Sulman. This time we have chosen Robert Ferguson as our guiding star. lt would take a book to do real justice to the years as we have experienced them. but from this it can be seen that we have set a mark for all coming classes to aim at. Now we leave the school with the knowledge that it has given each and every one of us more than we can ever repay. Farewell. ' Page 7 wr'l1fy-two
