Page 14 ORANGE AND BLACK PER ASPERA AD ASTRA VN'hen the Class of IQI6 entered the massive portals of C. L. I., four years ago, we were sixty-eight strong--the largest class C. L. I. had ever known. Several have fallen by the wayside, but with those whom we have picked up we now number forty-seven. VVe dare not say that we are the best, most ac- complished, versatile, and the noblest class which has ever graduated from the School, for we do not wish to compete with former classes. However, our high standing in studies, and our success in football, basketball, track and other activities of school life demonstrate the position which we hold. During our Freshman year one of our members won the Seymour C. Loomis prize: and our boys began to prepare themselves for the future great- ness in athletics which has come to its highest this year. VVhen Sophomores we were best represented in the Kent Prize Essay Contest-one member winning the third prize. and three others receiving honorable mention. We were also very well represented in every held of athletics. One of the happiest remembrances of this year is that of the expo- sitions given in Mr. Cook's English cass with illustrations of real cake and fudge. As juniors we began to show the school we really were important. All the Kent Essay prizes were won by members of the 1916 class. At the 2d Naval Militia meet at Hartford, Nelson Talmadge won a silver cun in the relay. Five of our men were on the Football, two on the Basket-ball and six on the Baseball teams. The Junior-Senior reception was a great success. The Chapelgwas artistically decorated with blue and gold streamers. .-Xll sorts of interesting ga mes were played, and dancing was en- joyed afterward. Every one went away with the feeling that the evening could not have been more enjoyably spent. Now we are Seniors. XVhat a great year this has been for us! Eleven of our men have received gold footballs and their S's for their wonderful work on the Football held. lt has been Senior boys who have constituted the Bas- ketball team which has won nearly every game played this winter. Two of our boys are the fastest on the track team which is the greatest C. L. T. has ever produced. But the whole success of the class does not lie entirely with the boys, for the girls have done much toward making the social activities a success, and have kept up the high class standing. As we leave Cl cannot say dear old C. L. I., butj Suffield School, to be the first class to graduate under that name, we regret that an end must come to our happy high school days. NYe all will ever remember and love our Alma Mater.
