THE MIRROR RUTH STROUM lVVite1' Of Class Will, 1929

Page 13 text:

ATHEMIRRORKQ I1 had been playing basketball. Since the championship team of 1928 had graduated intact from junior room 4 to senior room 14, these boys became defending champions and retained their title in a long series of games. The girls played both league and class games at home and with neigh- boring cities. As the spring months rolled around, graduation seemed very near. Consequently, boys and girls .met and decided the question of what to wear. Ut is here noted that the boys' As- sembly to decide the momentous ques- tion lasted much longer than the girlsfj a Graduation music had been prac- ticed, pictures taken and re-taken, and the prophet, historian, and will- writer had already consulted old Mirrors and diaries, when the elec- tion of Stuart Deans as Senior Class Day chairman took place. Meanwhile, Leroy Phipps quickly made and completed plans for a senior social. Un Friday, May 24, in spite of the rain, many seniors -lg- came back to school prepared to en- joy the last social. At 10:45 a Wal- tham High cheer for Principal Burke followed by another for our own class of 1929, closed the party. Pmoger Walcott, baseball captain for 1929, led his team through a sea- son made successful by defeating Newton, 6 to 5, in one of the most interesting games ever played be- tween the two rival schools. On June 7, 1929, we attended the promenade given us by the class of 1930. The hours sped as we danced and laughed and talked, but all too soon the Dromenade was over leav- ing us only Class Day and Gradua- tion. 1 That is our past. Today we are holding our last exercises together here as a class. In less than a week we shall be graduated. But what- ever our future may be, let us some- times come back in memory to re-live the happy high school days of the class of 1929 whose record is honor- able and bright.

THE MIRROR 13 The Wi!! of the Clam of 1929 The witching hour, descending up- on the sleeping city of Waltham last night, was marked with a drow- sy, solemn clanging by the bell in t.ie Universalist Church tower. For many weeks the joints of the old high school across the way had squeaked in joyful anticipation of this magic hour, the time that had been set for the re-union of the class spirits. Before the twelfth clang faded into the darkness, flickering lights appeared in the corridors, the silence was broken by the sound of merry voices. Into the deserted class- rooms danced the merry spirits, out into the corridors again, then up the stairs to the assembly hall where they seated themselves in the very places you now are occupying! The Spirit of Waltham High School in her soft, Howing robes of red and white ascended the platform followed by a smaller spirit draped in rose and sand. A hush fell upon the assem- bly as the former stepped forward, raised her hand, and declared the meeting open: Members of the Waltham High School Association of Class Spirits, she announced, before a candidate may become a certified member of our organization, his last VVill and Testament must be drawn up, wit- nessed, and sealed before this as- sembly. We are gathered, therefore, to pass judgment on the Will of Class 1929 The spirit in robes of rose and sand stepped to the pulpit, unfolded a scroll, and began to read: We, the Class of 1929, of the City of Waltham, County of Middlesex, and state of Massachusetts, being of sound mind, memory, and under- standing Qin spite of the numerous doubts that the faculty may have had to the contrary, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last Will and Testament. We hereby revoke all wills, codicils, or testamentary instruments by us at any time hereto- fore made. VVe, therefore, do de- vise and bequeath all our property real and otherwise as follows: To the class of '30, now our inex- perienced Juniors who are so easily puzzled by the intricacies of voting, we hereby present the sacred title, inalienable rights and privileges of this passing class, in addition to an automatic voting machine, guaran- teed to prevent more votes from be- ing cast than members present at fu- ture meetings. 4- eff -1, ef, ,je fp ,js fp We bequeath ten ,barrels of en- couragement to our shy little Sopho- mores to induce them to develop a few A pupils. VVhen their Honor Roll is announced in the future, we hope that Mr. Burke will be forced to take a fifteen-minute rest, during which time his hoarse voice will be restored to its normal, sweet tones. To Mr. Burke, our principal, whom numerous autograph books re- veal to be instructor of spanking, we leave permission to exercise the re- quirements of this position-after we have passed on.
