committee as follows: Marjorie Brown, David MacKillop, Richard McEldowney, Carolyn Raye, and Rosalind Bigelow. Although we were still joining new clubs, our great distinction was as athletes, for we had four men on the varsity baseball team, and several participants in intermediate and junior varsity football, hockey, and basketball. The girls, too, did their part, for they won second place in the gym meet. In spite of the fact that we held our dance on Friday, the 13th of February, it was a great success. We also had prominent speakers among us, namely: Virginia Kretschmar and Richard McEldowney, who won the Freshmen-Sophomore Prize-Speaking Contest. Time flew faster and we embarked for a larger port. We next tied our ship to its mooring at the Junior dock. At this time, Robert Bankart was our leader with Fredice Littlefield, vice-presidentg Jane Forte, secretaryg and Joseph Manning, treasurer. Our repu- tation as athletes steadily grew when Huston and Kevorkian made the varsity team in football. The girls, unwilling to be less honored than the boys, seized the soccer contest and had six members on the varsity field hockey squad. When winter sports came along, we found six boys on the varsity basketball team, while in the same sport, the girls had a most successful season by bowing to no defeats. The climax of the athletics for the girls was their victory at the gym meet. Our dance arranged by Rosalind Bigelow, Harry Diman, Jane Forte, Katherine Swenarton, Richard McEldowney, and Carol Bloom, took place with as much excitement as ever. At the Prize-Speaking Contest, Virginia Kretschmar and William Bit- tenbender secured the honors of first place. Later, glory went to Virginia Whitehead and Joanne Wyman for the first two prizes in The Newlonite Short Story Contest. According to a new system, we elected our officers for the ensuing year as follows: Warren Huston, president, Jack Purple, first vice-presidentg Roger Maynard, second vice-president, Jane F orte, secretaryg and Joseph Manning, treasurer. We concluded our trip for this year by choosing William Durbin and Roger Myrick as editor-in-chief and business manager of the Orange Book. The following season, we made our way toward our home ports with a new helmsman at the wheel, Mr. Paul E. Elicker. With rhythm in our bones, we started the social program of the year by featuring Norm Hill's orchestra. Later, the seniors with all the glory of the English aristocrats indulged in the comeback of Barrie's The Admirable Crichton with the more prominent parts played by Mary Hill, Constance Southgate, Barbara King, Jean Beach, Margaret Davy, Roger Maynard, Julian Barron, Robert Giddings, Kenelm Winslow, and Gordon Yarlott. Among the prominent personages of the well selected casts of the comedy, The Royal Family, the Drama Club production of the year, from the senior class we saw Winnifred Clark, Virginia Kretschmar, Betty Bierer, Ruth Andress, Robert Robinson, William Bittenbender, and Frederick Claffee. The seniors were well represented in all the clubs with many of them serving their respective organizations as officers or on assisting committees. Karl Goodwin was elected by the National Honor Society, at an early fall meeting, to be its leader with Roger Maynard, Alice Burton, and Richard McEldowney holding the other offices. An outstanding attainment in athletics, was secured by Huston, who was captain of three varsity sports, namely, football, basketball, and baseball. In the girls' athletics, Barbara Phinney led the varsity hockey and also the senior basketball team, while Betty McCready was elected captain of the varsity basketball team. In the spring of 1932, Ralph Bixby was elected as editor-in-chief of The Newtonite, while Harry Walen led the Newtonian staff. At our prom, William Bailey was chairman and Jimmie Gahan's HUtopians supplied the music. We, the voyagers, having completed this long difficult sail, have now reached the end of our senior year, prepared to graduate and then to separate, continuing on new seas, unaccompanied. Perhaps, we will meet our high school friends later on in life - this, time alone will tell, Twelve
