I6 The Torch Cardle, etcetera, etcetera. It was very successful. Then Class Day arrived and everyone was presented with a gift from her classmates indispensable to her future happiness. At last Commencement! The night of nights is here. Don't Mabel and Bab look lovely leading the procession of graduates with their white gowns and red roses? And the essays, well-written and well-delivered, bring to us the message of the South, a call to friendship. And Mr. Schoch's Address gives us a last bit of advice and a hearty wish of Godspeed. May he never have cause to be disappointed in the Class of june, '22. ELIZABETH ZIMMERMAN. Gllazz Sung Shouts of praises ever greet us Of the 'work that we have done, And of victories triumphant In the tasks that we've begun. We have never ceased our efforts, Our school spirit is so trne,' Don't forget that it s because ll e're the class of twenty-Iwo! CHORUS Oh! sing with the 4B spirit, Sing the song anew, Sing of every virtue Of the class of twenty-two!

Many a bill collector isn't successful in his calling.

Record Number I5 once in a life time. Washington! And three whole days of bliss! Gayly we fared forth with whistles and lunches to our nation's capital. Some few girls tried to initiate a certain member of the faculty into the joys of lying across a train seat with her head out of the window and her feet in the aisle, but with very poor success. Also do we remember Anne Diller's losing her voice in Washing- ton and not retrieving this valuable article for a month or so? Likewise weren't some of us unceremoniously pulled out of bed at 7 A. M., after a two-hour nap, by a certain young lady whose name I shall not mention? Moreover, we shall always connect the mention of Washington with mince pies and raspberry ice. And didn't we make a hit with President Harding? Of courseg he admitted it. As our train slowly steamed out of the beautiful station, we realized that never would anything equal this trip, but we didn't realize it very long, for most of us were soon in the land of slumber trying to catch up to the sleep that had got the better of us for a few days. The next big class event was the Senior Party for which all our wealth went to convince the 4B's how much we loved 'em. I am sure they were impressed by this demonstration of our affection. But we could not spend all our time on the 4B's, so however much we enjoyed our social activities, we never looked forward to anything with anticipatory interest as to the Senior Exams. But after Mr. Schoch had explained to us how necessary they were to our future welfare, we were more reconciled to our fate. These finished, our 4A year was all over but the shouting and we were 4B's occupying front seats in Assembly. This year found our girls holding many of the important school offices. Bab Sweeny was vice-president of the S. A., Dot Van Loan, president of the A. A., and Kathryn Kramer, Editor-in-Chief of the TORCH. Then we elected our Class Officers. And was there ever a better choice than Mabel Edwards, Grace Roberts, Clara Brodsky, and Leonore Witzemann? Can we forget Leonore's puzzled frown as she tried to figure out if a girl paid 58.25 this week and 8.10 two weeks after and 31.00 next month, how much would be the average balance per week? Poor Leonore! We sympathize with her. Next we went to work on this Record, and have tried faithfully to record the past and future misdemeanors of all our class- mates, however modest they may have been about divulging the same. Soon Captain.-ball was the order of the day. 'Member Duddie Smith's wallops in center circle? And Harriet Shilliday's quiet but efficient management? VVe missed winning the cup by one game but some of the girls got their letters after playing in the Junior-Senior game. Wasn't it a thriller-and a superb victory for the Seniors? Also we must mention the Alumnae game. Now, haven't the Alumnae got to get up early in the morning to beat us? Well, anyway, they overslept that day. All this time we had been' anxiously awaiting the proofs or reproofs of our pictures. VV hen they arrived, some were bad, and most were worse, although a few portrayed our Venus-like visagesg only these lied. The rest were as others see us. Then the crowning event of the year, S1200 a Year, in which we shared honors with the 4A Class. Can we ever forget how wonderfully well Lucille Buchanan portrayed the part of Paul, and wasn't Dud's romeoing realistic? We don't agree with Tony that she needs to go to the movies to be educated in the gentle art of making love. Wonder how she learned it so well, girls? Finally our much postponed Track Meet on which the elements seemed to frown was held. All our athletes of ability competed, Muriel Farr, Zoe Ballagh, Helen Mac-
