This is a busy year for us and we start by electing Charles Peters as President, Charles Crossman again as Vice President, and Robert Holdsworth as Secretary-Treasurer. With these competent officers there is no danger of our running on the rocks. The iirst big event is the Junior Play. The cast and its coach, Miss Ricker, work hard and successfully present Applesauce. We feel this is a good omen for events to follow. Our social abilities are proved when we sponsor the Junior Dance. VVe wonder if Charlie Peters is telling the truth when he says he knows nothing about dances. In the field of athletics the girls show their worth by taking second place in the interclass basketball series. In Debating and Dramatics as well, we show ourselves good sports. Never say die is our motto. The Senior reception is our last important activity. It turns out well as might have been expected. Thus endeth our third year. IV Remember, when as Freshmen we longed to be Seniors? Our ambition is realized and we feel the dignity of our position quite as much as our predeces- sors ever did. Once more we place our faith in trusty Harlan Wood. Squier Munson is chosen Vice President, and Eleanor Bukoski, Secretary-Treasurer. The year is no sooner begun than a tragedy occurs-the death of our classmate, Bennie Bandelavich. Our Gold Bug occupies a prominent P1306 in our thoughts and all our efforts are bent towards its accomplishment. There's no rest f0I' the wicked! Those of us who have sinned by failing to pay dues, are still tor- mented. Gold Bug dues are added to our other burdens. The Senior Dance is successfully accomplished and we are through Wlfh the task of giving dances. Now we can sit back and enjoy the fruits of the . . 'vinv' dances. Juniors' toil. Even so we have had a lot of pleasure from gl D 1 ' ' 'l. Yet a few dayS, and the sun shall see us no more' in Amherst Higi We are told that the happiest days of our lives . . , b of them. XVe do not doubt it in the least, and only wish there vwerfl to 9 more have been spent in High School. S 7!?:3i3Y pkmww

History IGH SCHOOL! We the class of 1933 have entered upon a new and important phase of our lives. Its terrors are really not so great as they have been represented to us, and after a few weeks we are quite at home. Like every class before us, our first action as a group 's to elect certain officers to guide our destiny and to keep track of the class exchequer. We elect Harlan NVood as our President, Raymond Croodale, Vice President, a.nd Charles Crossman as Secretary-Treasurer. By degrees we are initiated into the various activities of the school and begin to take an active part in them. Several boys go out for varsity football and basketball, and a few courageous individuals try their skill in debating. In June, the carefree Seniors stalk about with stately mien, and we scoff bravely, but really wish we were Seniors. II We're Sophomores! At least that is better than being lowly Freshmen. Now we too have a chance to say with stinging scorn, Those Freshmen! when an unfortunate wretch bumps against us in the hall. At last our home rooms are downstairs where we can be warm. It seems such a pity, in addition to all their other miseries, to make the poor Freshmen freeze upstairs when the winter is in full swing! Again our President is Harlan Wood. Charles Crossman moves up a place to Vice Presidency, and Betty Barton is Secretary-Treasurer. This year occurs an event important to all the school. For the first time Mr. Haskins takes his place as principal. VVe, who were in his algebra class as Freshmen, know he will be successful. We are becoming more self-assured and many boys go out for various athletic teams. Squier Munson is a member of that rare organization, the tennis team. For the last few months of the year the girls have had a sub- stitute gym teacher-Miss Foulds. She has gained unusual popularity consider- ing the short time she has been here. We begin to wonder if the Treasurer ever is as tired of hounding us for dues, as we are of being nagged. The Stowell cup has an important place in our thoughts. dune! Just think, half of our high school career is over.
