1'-in i - - i i 1 1 2 IQ 35 Class History UR years in High School Weill remember as years of glorious fun, work, laughter and sorrow. It will not be the big things, the dances, the plays, the tournaments that we'll cherish as much as the little insignificant things, the smile of a friend, the praise of a teacher, or the hours spent after school for heaving an Hairplanen in a study hall. To others, our Freshman year may not have seemed remarkable, but, to us, it was a collection of new sensations and experiences! The thing which excited us most was our new freedom. That freedom soon became mere routine, but, at first, it made us feel big and important. We also enjoyed a feeling of class unity, especially after we had elected Milton Stafford, President, Myra Graves, Vice-President, and Leo LeClair, Secretary-Treasurer of our class. Some of us attended the Freshman Reception which was sponsored for the first time by the Graphic. We did our part to make it a success. Toward the end of the year our actors gave a production of the inimitable play, aliittle Brother Sher- lock,'7 which was awarded second place in the lnterclass Plays. At the end of the year the Htrialsw diminished our numbers but left us with a glorious mem- ory of a well-spent year. .Q- ln our second year, we elected Milton Stafford President of our class, Leo LeClair, Vice-President, and Emily Ranney, Secretary-Treasurer. The foot- ball season found seven of our class on the football squad. Later in the year, by hard work, Harriet Ames, Elizabeth Magrath and Walter Robinson won the Interclass Debating Contest. A month later, the Millet Declamation Contest was won by Leslie Redman while Howard Mitchell received honorable mention. With these activities behind us, we finished our two years as underclassmen. 1... Our Junior year was one of our most successful years. Class officers were Harriet Ames, Victor Hardendorff and Emily Ranney. The Junior Play, our first event of the year, was a success, both dramatically and financially. The cast gave a great performance under the patient and skillful coaching of Miss Ricker. Again, our debating team, consisting of Harriet Ames, Elizabeth Magrath and Martin Smith, won the Interclass Debates under the direction of Mr. Gleason. We also started the informal socials in the gymnasium which The Gold Bug ' ' ' ' ' 1- - - - - I -page twenty-mne

pioved so populai that they were continued the next year On May 4th, we I9f- ' A A -'-235 ran the Junior Prom. Our class artist, Leo LeClair, and the rest of the com- mittee outdid themselves in the display of sweet smelling roses. The Senior Reception closed the year. The auditorium was filled with alumni and under- graduates in smooth, white Hannels and long, evening dresses. ...Q- Our last year came. We were the high and haughty seniors, with much work to do in a short time. At the elections, Howard Mitchell was made President of the class, Milton Stafford, Vice-President, and Emily Ranney, Secretary-Treasurer. Our first big event was the Senior Hop. Autumnal pumpkins and dried cornstalks took the place of the fresh roses of our Junior Prom. We were nearing the end of our utripf' Final preparations were being made. Pictures were taken, and the Gold Bug was started. ln March, under the eXpert guidance of Mr. Cadigan, our cast of seasoned and experienced actors won first place in the lnterclass Play Contest with uThe Boorf' On April 12th, two Senio-rs won the Millet Declamation Contest. Harriet Ames gave MOn the Other Trainf and John Osmun, MThe Congo. The following night uThe Boor,'7 with its cast of Seniors, was given the first award at Hadley. The last school events before graduation had passed. Now our years in Amherst High School are ending. We sadly close the door which first, as eager, inquisitive Freshman, we opened, and, with a lingering glance, we go out, slowly, thoughtfully, carrying a chest of memories. t 2 V! pagg thirty- The
