Ctaes Ifyietoxp X the fall of 1907 we began our existence as the Senior-Middle Class, twenty-nine strong, a sorrowful mixture of verdancy and fright. Now, in the spring of 1909, the class has diminished to twenty-three, but, we are glad to say, it has lost the two above mentioned objectionable qualities. The festivities of the year were begun by a straw ride to Haggett ' s Pond. The next event was the Senior Dance in February, and to this we invited the Senior Middlers, which, of course, added greatly to the success of the evening. On March 23, Miss Chickering gave us a ver delightful party in the Senior Parlor. On May 11, the Trustees and Miss Means gave the annual spring dance to the Seniors and Senior Middlers. The Class banquet, the crowning event of the year, is to be held on May 28, and we are all looking forward to it with a great deal of pleasure, even though it is one of the last times that we shall all be together.

In the rush and hurry for Commencement, the Academic Seniors are for- getting the weary hours spent in preparation for the Psychology exam, and Senior essay, and the College Seniors can hardly believe that they have ever heard such a thing as a four o ' clock alarm on Saturday morning. But there is no one who does not cherish pleasant memories and tender feelings toward those who have helped us in our work here. Every incident in our school life will serve a purpose. We are benefited by having had obstacles to overcome, and by them we can appreciate the more the discipilne of the Faculty. Our thoughts sober, and we are filled with gratitude, when we realize what they have done for us. Albert A. Smith. 26
