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

No trouble to find him in a crowd, but very hard to forget oncenfound and known. ln public Clyne seems shy of the women CPD Miracles might happen-we'll wait. ANNA BEATRICE BABO One of Beetle's good points is getting here early. With lightning speed she comes in at 7:50 A, M. she has the sterling qualities of an earnest student and a kind friend. MILDRED BACKSTROM Mildred is a living example of still water running deep, It took us a long time to get acquainted but after breaking down that barrier or reserve, we find that she is pure gold. ln the Business world she will prove invaluable. GLADYS CLAUDIA BAKER One of our best all round students. Who does not know Claudia with her willing helping hand and happy ways? ELIZABETH LEDA BALDWIN When we think of Leda, we will always see sunny hair and deep blue eyes. She is a real, all-round, girl, so of course we will think of her often. JEAN BARNES ,lean unlike most of us has an excess of credits. This fact, to our regret, robbed us of a fine student for the last semester and we have missed her sweet, quiet ways exceed- ingly. 29
