b0e2' 4Q'! Class History IC arrived at Salem in the fall of IQ24, some of us having already been in the graded school here. VVe played with our sister class 111 the soccer games and gg lost. However, we were quite proud when we defeated the sophomores, 34-4, in basketball. Our pride fell, though, when the seniors defeated us. Our classes progressed very well, and we started on our social career in the Acad- emy by entertaining our big sisters with a Japanese party in the hut. lVhen we returned the next year we found that o11e of our teachers, llliss Davis, had married, but she continued to instruct us ill the dead language. That year, with Bliss Grace Taylor as our adviser, we progressed very well. She helped us wonderfully with the luncheon we gave the eleventh grade at the Robert IQ. Lee. XVe didn't win any of the sports that year, although we put up a good fight. Our third year we worked hard, still under the advisership of Miss Taylor, for the junior-senior banquet which we finally gave at the Country Club. VVe were quite thrilled when the eighth grade gave us a lovely picnic at Peter Pan Glen. A new sport was introduced our junior year, in which we all took a big interest. Although we had lost the soccer game and were rather discouraged at the time of the final speedball game, we played hard and, with the fine coaching of bliss Zachary and Nliss VVeaver, defeated the ninth and eleventh grades, 7-o. We also made a hard hght for the basketball cup, but failed to win it. VVhen we came back in the fall of ,27, we had a hard time realizing that we were at last dignified seniors. Several of the former classmates didn't come back, among whom was our class teacher who had married. lvliss Elizabeth Chase was chosen as class teacher for our se11ior year. The junio-rs honored us delightfully with a banquet at the Country Club, an occa- sio11 to which we had been looking forward since our high school days. The ninth grade gave us a lovely luncheon at the Blue VVillow, and at the close of the year we gave a farewell di1111er in honor of the faculty and Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler. Although a fairly good percentage of our class went out for athletics, We won none of the three major games. To those who are 11ot in our class and who will read this, it will seem that our history is not unlike a11y other, but to us it naturally seems individual, and this will, in years to come, perhaps ren1i11d us of other things that happened during the fo-ur years we were in the Academy.

X9 f ggoaa x, Prophecy Exfrartx From flly Fizic'-Yrflz' Diary June 2, 1928 Gee! You're a lovely graduation present, and I hate to he-gin my first day by telling you my trouhles, but I guess I'll have to. I'm leaving.: Salem Aeademy today, and all my classmates, hut- maylne I'Il see them all again. Here's hoping! January 14, 1930 Guess what! I we-nt to ZieJ:feld's Follies tonight and saw Viriiinia Perkinson. She has rt-dui-ed lots, and hir last pose, as she bowed ofl' the stage, was an exaet reproduction of Greta. January 15, 1931 This morning I bought Gene Farr's latest book, Soiree. The elf-rk told me that it was the best seller of the month. Three rails for Gene! March 20, 1931 As I was leaving the hospital today, where I had prone to have my hand treated, I heard a nurse say in a familiar voiee, Shore, put out your light! tXYonder of wonders.b There was Adele Mae, Murphy telling Bertie Shore to turn out her litfht. It reminded me of the days at Salem when Adele was monitor. But nursing surely agrees with both of them. June 6, 1932 XVI-ll, Diary, have you ever seen sueh a write-up as I've just pasted into you? Babe Jones must have had a real wedding. I wonder what kind of man he is? I-Ie isn't had looking. You know Balto always was the belle of the elass, and she is still playing the part. I'm glad of that, for the rest of us would make a mess of it. August 10, 1932 I had more fun at the eireus today. Near me I he-a rd a ery. Reeognizing.: the voioo I went toward the tent. Yes, it was Monty Bateman yelling, Right this way, ladies and gc-nts! Right this way to see the longest-haired woman in the woild, along with the most marvelous example of reduetion ever known. Paying the fee and entering the tent, I saw Margaret Masten and Anna Mat-on VVard. Did I faint? XYell--- September 30, 1932 Hz-re's a bit of naws fiom the banks-r's wife. Ruth Kennedy wrote me today that Junior had swallowed his tooth and the hutton off his shoe, besides stufiing his nose full of he-ans and cutting his big toe. Poor liuth! December 25, 1932 Uhristmas night! And one of the most wonderful of my life, for tonight I heard Miggie Hern- don play her harp. Ilona-stly, she just held her audit-nee spell-bound. Afterwards we had more fun talking, and I found out that slit-'s just as unseltish as ever. January 1, 1933 The mail man dropped mo a letter today from Iiortense IIig'g+-nliotham, aind she's asked me to visit her. Going? Certainly, lieeause she surely knows how to show you a lovely time in New York. February 13, 1933 Daddy f-ame to see me today and told me that he had a new seeretary. He said that she was a peaeh and, ineidentally, a sehoolmate of mine. Of 1-ourse it is Liora May Stipe-who else eould till March 3, 1933 Thinking to improve my mode of expression, whivh Miss Phase used to say was sometimes a little unintelligible. I went to look for an elor-ution teal-her, To my surprise I found Eloise Crews. Isn't it queer that we both were in the same town and didn't know it before? April 5, 1933 Rain, rain, and still more rain! Hut I don't mind it so much now, lieeause it found for me Martha Sargent. I was nearly drowned eoming home from the liank and had to eall a taxi and-yes, Martha April 18, 1933 Ivorothy Browder, Assistant I-louse IXIother. Yes, that's what the eatalofrue says. And Cathf-rine flaunt, Iiean ot' NVomen. XYell, well. Imagine lint taking Mother Elizalwetlrs plat-e at Salem. Yet she always loved children and I know she'll be sweet to them. And Kat was just naturally horn to he a dean and fill Miss Stipe's plaee, well I know. May 1, 1933 I went on a pit-nie this afternoon. Just my Iuek--about two miles out in tho eountry the gas gave out. Not far ahead I eaught sight ot' a little white house, and the neatest little white house I've ever seen. Ilurrying up to it I knoeked, and who should answer my knock but Mary XVilliamson! I almost missed the pienii: talking about Salim. Mary 11, 1933 I ineh me! Yes, I'n1 awake! But, boy! XVhen I saw Pieree Gum Pups written almost sky- high, I surely thought I was dreaming. Margaret Ilieree owns a huge chewing gum faetory. and when I went to the olliee to see her she gave me a liig box, beeause she knows how I love gum. May 16, 1933 Unexpe:-tml news from the musival world. And yet not so surprising, either. Iioris Kimel is now singing her tra-la-las with the XYQ-stminster Choir, and I hear she's making a big success. June 1, 1933 Imear Iiiary, today's my last day to write in you. Remember tho first? XVhat a lot of.thing.:s have happened sinee then! l've seen all my Salem elassmates, and what Alun we velhad talking over old times and later ones, too! All seemed very happy, all doing sueh difterent things, and one and all as glad as she 1-ould be she'd been to Salem. that dest-ription? was the driver. PQ. iii-a M.Ef7
