Let us turn for a moment from the shiningroad of thelfuture to look back down the dim avenue of the Past, before we leave our Alma Nlater, to return no more as students. l' was only four short years ago that we. the class of '25, enteredthe The scenes of yesterday crowd before our eyes in a gaily-colored stream, here and there touched by a darker note, where failure or disappointment crept in. Behold ourselves as Freshmen, timid, awe-stricken, anxious to make a good impression, wondering if we would ever be like the Seniors. That lirst autumn here we shall never forget, for the WonderTeam shone then in all its glory, and we learned at once what Suflield spirit was. Never to be forgotten are those pep rallies in the gym. when thundering cheers threatened to lift the roof, nor those autumn afternoons when the Wonder Team swept on to victory before us. I 'lihe scene changes to a classroom in the Middle Building, where the class of '25, now sophomores, is holding its lirst class-meeting, l-Iow swiftly the days have flown! We shall always remember that year as the winter of heavy snow s. Never before in Suffield's history. it would seem. have there been such sleigh- rilles and snowball-fightsg so many skiis and snowshoes in evidence, or such good times sliding down hill behind the gym. Then Winter passed into Spring, exams were the orderof the day, and before we knew it we were watching another class go out into the world. The fall of 1923 came, and we were juniors. Looking over our ranks we found many a new member added, and many an old one gone. We were half- way through our journey, new responsibilities had come to us: we owed a great deal to the school, and must prove ourselves worthy of SuHield's name. So we set to work again even more earnestly, leaving out some of our play, in the realization that we were being tried, and must not be found wanting. Among the memories of our Junior year, the Endowment Fund Campaign stands para- mount. Former students at SuH'ield came back to pay her tribute. and inspire us to hclp her carry on. 'lihen came news of banquets connected with the cam- paign, and linally our own student banquet, followed by the campaign in the Ninn-tw,-n
