$eniur QEZ , MISS ROWELL Class Teacher XVho is' it who teaches you to think? tho is it who is always ready to help you in rain or sun? Miss Rowell, of course! and she is the head of our fam- ily. September 21, 1918, twelve innocent, wandering maidens, from all parts of the United States, entered room 121 and were very kindly adopted by Miss Rowell and were immediately christened Junior A2. Early in the term we were entertained at a dinner party given by Miss Rowell. Miss Rowell surely knows how to touch just the right, spot-wwhe11 youlre away 30 from home and mother? During the term we busied ourselves making scrap- books for the soldiers, doing Red Cross sewing, and other war work. The llflti'il broke into our school life and we de- parted. On returning,.our big sisters greeted us with a party in Society Hall. We surely had a good time and good lleatsill We had our big sisters to a dinner par- ety at Miss Rowell's. During the term we frequently enjoyed llget-togetherli lunches on the lawn. This term we welcomed our new junior sisters at a party given in Society Hall, where games and dancing- were. enjoyed. The compliment was returned at a theater party, where we all learned ' to be ligladfi You say we are small in number - well, yes, we admit thatebut just listen and you,ll hear our roll call: Thereis Inella Bowen, Our president, sheis Miss Payneis llstarii pupil in Public Speaking.

Now, as we feel the June days draw- mg near it is with regret that we think of parting from the scene of so many happy days and from so many dear friends. The memory of S. J. S.

$211M Q33 MR. BAKER Class Teacher Hardly had the registration of students been completed last September when the Senior C3 Class got together in Mr. Baker's class-room to look over the available material for class Officers and to see who had dropped out during the vacation and if there were any new members. After the excitement had subdued somewhat, election of Officers was held with the following result: Jane Penny was elected President; Pruda Chesbro, Vice-President, and Jessie Pope, Secre- tary-Treasurer. Under the able leader ship of these Officers plans were laid for 32 parties, candy-pulls, theatre parties and stunts galore. The first of these affairs was a high- ly successful reception given to our sister Class, the Junior C3, in Society Hall. Both Classes pronounced the affair a huge success and asked for more. Sev- eral theatre parties and a candy-pull helped the first term pass quite rapidly. The second term was so full during the first part that little was done other than the election of officers and the planning of functions for the last part and fer the third term. However, with Marie Curneen in the Chair, Edith Rahrn to lead when Marie happened to be ab- sent, Julia McCabe to write the minutes and collect the money, and Pruda Ches- doing, some thing had to be done. The most delightful affair of the second term was a theatre party at the Liberty with refreshments afterwards at the Nation- a1. Officers have been elected for the third term and much is expected of them in the way of social functions sand- wiched in between the senior Class af- fairs. SO successful was Jane Penny as President during the first term that the office was again forced upon her. For her assistants she had Pruda Chesebro for Vice-President, Rhoda Beal for Secrew tary, Anna Buchser for Treasurer, and Willard Walker for reporter. Such a combination was bound to produce re- sults and a trip to Alum Rock was planned and also a theatre party at the Hippodrome. 'It was our intention that the last term should be a continuous round of good times.
