m O QM II f III ..., ' 'III 'f III 'IIII -IQQJJIIIIIWMIIIIMII 'J' SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We entered Academy High School as Freshmen four years ago. Our class was the first to start its course in Academy High School building. During our first year we became successfully organized with competent executives. Thus forming for ourselves a stable foundation and assuring the success of our activities throughout our High School life. We have been very well represented in all school activities since the beginning of our career. During our Sophorome year we strengthened our representation on the football team. After the Turkey Game had been won the Class of '24 gave the successful dance at Academy. ' The Colgate Clee and Instrumental Club was brought to Academy by our Sophomore Class and was put across in a manner whose memory has lingered in the minds of all who followed. As Juniors our members made an enviable record in all scholastic, social and athletic Iife. Our fellows were represented not only in the football team but in the basketball, track, swimming and tennis teams. The Junior Girls basketball team held a highly commendable record and the girls track team won the only girls' meet ever staged at Academy. We are proud of our three dances and the junior Prom, all noticeable successes. As Seniors we have attempted and successfully accomplished several activities which have never before been contemplated by any class in this institution. Our social season was started by an informal dance given after the first football victory over Warren. This event was followed closely by several other football dances sponsored by the Seniors all of which there was no regrets and to which many compli- ments were given. 1 v 26

We decided not to have a big Thanksgiving dance but waited and gave our New Year's invitational dance at the Lawrence which was the biggest thing ever attempted by this school or any part of it. The Allegheny Orchestra furnished the music which helped to make the shining light of our social functions. N Members of the Senior Class of '24 not only won the debate between Jamestown and Academy but also, William Feickner from our class won the Burns Oratorical Contest. with Winifred Nlong of '24 taking second. These members are highly commended on their victories. The Girls' Swimming team of this year has been a great success and has given some ver interestin meets which have been lar el attended. y g g y The football team again are to receive the honor of being Champg our class has had representatives on the highly honored football team since our initial year in High School, - Not only do we claim stars in football but also basketball, track, tennis, swimming. chess and debating teams. All of whose honor cannot soon be forgotten. The Senior Class play, The Charm School, staged May I6 in the High School auditorium was the theatrical hit of the year. The second dance held at the Lawrence was during Easter week and was certainly as good a success as the New Year's. We surely feel proud of our class for successfully handling these two big events. The Banquet held at South Shore lnn featured the closing of our Social Events and every one was only too sorry to think that the same crowd would probably soon be divided into its different walks of life. The Commencement is being looked forward to and anticipated by all. We are all more or less sorry to leave our school and realize we have here friends and acquaintances never to be forgotten. The services rendered us by our esteemed faculty are highly ap- preciated and their advice will remain with us ever. We are all grateful to our Alma Mater and can never forget her and will all cherish the days spent at Academy from l920 to l924, 1? 2 fl it -at 1, M r ne Q 27
