Class of February 1925 Early in February, 1922, a group of wild-eyed youngsters entered Technical High School to begin a high school career. Here they found strange creatures called Seniors who, often before classes, stole off to hold conferences in the Assembly Hall. When these youngsters known as Freshmen questioned the Seniors about these queer conferences, they re- ceived the reply, Class Meetings. This explanation did not enlighten the Freshmen, and it was not until October, 1922 that the mystery was un- folded to them. Then they met in the Vocational Assembly Hall, where Miss MacKnight, Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Aiken, the class advisers, explained what a class meeting was from beginning to end. This class became known as the Class of February, 1925, and in a meeting which followed, the class oiiicers were elected. They are: Robert Fitz, President, Ethel Williams, Vice-Presiolentg Gail Sanford, Secretary, George Brown, Treasnrergl Har- old Wood, Member-at-Large, Andrew Frazier, Boys' Athletic Manager, Dorothy Squire, Girls' Athletic Manager. A private class social followed for members and their friends. The following February, when the degree of Juniors had been attained, Mr. Rogers, on becoming faculty business adviser of Tech Life gave up his place as class adviser to Mr. Morgan. The oliicers, however, remained unchanged except that Theodore Jones became president. The class is now completing the final half of the Junior year and the officers still hold their respective positions except George Brown who resigned. The office of treasurer is now held by George Spring. More than one half of the high school days of this class are over, and we are now looking forward to a most successful Senior year. f30j THE TECH TIGER

W f 2 The Class of June' 1924 ln September, 1921, the student population was further augmented by approximately two hundred future American citizens. From this assemblage the soon-to-be-famous Class of June, 1924 was modelled with the conscien- tious aid of Miss Hahn, Miss Hill, and Mr. Davis. One of the first and most important class business activities transacted was the drawing-up of the constitution, under the provisions of which the following officers were chosen for the freshman term :- Presidenl . . . . Ralph Schooley Vice-President . Frances Bartlett Secretary . . Marjorie Rapp Treasurer . . . Fred Manley Member-at-Large . . Sydney Spencer Boys' Athletic Manager ...... Nelson Munson Girls' Athletic Manager ...... Grace Felker The remainder of the freshman year was spent in becoming acquainted. The outstanding feature was a social-dance, at which excellent entertain- ment, from class talent, furnished much pleasure and created new ties of friendship. During the following fall session, another social, in the form of a Hallowe'en party, was successfully run off, and old friends were greeted at a series of regular and special class meetings which followed. Matters of interest to the class, the school, and the Student Council were discussed and voted upon. A new set of officers took up their duties in January, 1923. They held the following positions:- President .... , .... Fred Manley Vice-President . . . . Marjorie Rapp Secretary . . Helen Durgin Treasurer . . . Wilfred Hadlock Member-at-Large . . Charles Mace Boys' Athletic Manager ...... Dorothy Mackie Girls' Athletic Manager ....... John Shea Dud Chaffee and Syd Spencer passed around rings and pins,-i. e. in return for money. , Class activities were closed for the summer. After a happy vacation business was resumed at the first fall class meeting in October. Com- mittees were appointed for the nomination of new officers and for a third class social. The exclusion of all who were not in good standing led to a closer intimacy among the regular members of the class. The latest and largest public undertaking of this class was the Bazaar. The backing of everyone and the capable management made it a certain success. The class has always contained a plentiful supply of honor pupils, has supported its school generously, has faithfully attended, and zealously cheered at the athletic contests. We sincerely hope to be known, as we leave Tech, as a class of smiling ha rd-workers. THE TECH TIGER may
