FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman class held an election of oiiicers the first month of the school year. The class elected George Harrison as its president while Ruth Fitts was chosen as the vice-presi- dent and Mathilda Bowden, secretary and treasurer. Throughout the year, the class members have enjoyed their new subjects a great deal. The entire class took up two Freshman sub- jects, English and General Science. Some ol' the class were often perplexed with Algebra, but managed to come out all 1'ight under the supervision of Mr. Hicks. In English some of the class thought that they were better English- men that their teacher. However, the dictionary usually convinced them that they were mise taken. Mr. Thompson brought many things in General Science which have been of extreme value to all and have proved to be V91'y in- teresting. Miss Boord has made Latin seem very much alive rather than the so-called dead language. Plays and songs in Latin have addefl to the general interest. lVho can forget that play when Parker was dressed as the king and seemed to be cut in two. Mr. Jerome has made some good carpenters out of the boys while others are convinced that as carpenters they 0-+4-o+o-0 Page Twelve are still good ditch-diggers. Two members of the class are taking Agriculture. At the beginning of the year there was an enrollment of thirty-one members. The total has remained the same and it is hoped that the class may stay together until graduation. The first class gathering was the one in which members of the first year class were formally, or was it informally, initiated into the high school group. A great many stunts were pulled off at the expense and discomfort of the Freshmen, although it all seemed to please those who made up the audience. A party was held at the home of Marion Vickery. The class gave her a pleasant sur- prise and a fine time was enjoyed by all those present. During the winter the class went to West Andover and had a great time on a coasting pa1'ty. After all had partaken of a little sliding and a great many spills, or rather, thrills, a fire was built and George Harrison gave a lecture and demonstration on the number of hot dogs one may consume with safety. The class is glad to come to the end of the first quarter of its high school course, and will try to get along even better next year.

Q +o4oo Q SOPHOMORE CLASS POEM Here's to the class of '31, May they never their studies shun, May they always be happy and gay, And live the rest of their lives that way. Junior Dingman, clown of the class, Got his Chevvy coupe at last. Raymond Johnson plays the bass horn, Studies Latin from night till more. Here's to Silvia, light and fair, Does not know what it means to care. Harry Sanko, our class athlete, Got a big A, and is hard to beat. Maude and Faye both have red hair, Walk five miles to save carfare. Samuel Luse, the dude of the class, Liked by all, but cares not for a lass. Mike and Henry, greatest of pals, Always together, but not with gals. Helen Karpiack has curly hair, Prizes her Latin and knows it is rare. Harry Swezey, wild and woolly, Never attempts to be the class bully. Elizabeth Bailey is full of wit, An easy matter for her to make a hit. Ruth Hill, liveliest of all, Saw Jess Woodworth and took a fall. Carl Wilenius, a butter and egg man, Try to beat him in English, if you can. Ruby Richards, from Crystal Lake, Says Andover people makde a terrible mistake. Anna Ogram, friendly to all, We hope she comes back again this fall. Katherine Schlosser, may her name remain, She helped our class to gain its fame. Ila and Grace are next in line, Usually inseparable, most of the time. Virgil Barnes, the boy about town, Wouldn't wonder if he read the clock around. Page Eleven

Five more of the class have not been absent during the past year except for a short time while they were entertaining that swell disease known as the mumps. Luella Wade missed the first that she has ever missed since she began school. Lcta Bissell carried off the honors in scholarship, having received 77 E's on her monthly report card, and six E's in her county GRADE examinations. The class was represented in the declamatory contest by Hattie Case who took second place in the grade contest. Six members of the class are in the band, and took part in the contest held at Akron. Rogene Hill and Hazel Smith represented 'the class in the spelling contest. Hattie Case and Hazel Smith have the highest scores in the arithmetic contest. It is hoped that 'these pupils will be able to place in the meet at Jefferson. 0-0-Q4-040 -++0444+0+-0 eo+ SEVENTH GRADE The seventh grade is proud of its only perfect attendance member, Charles Ainger. He has been neither absent nor tardy. With measles, mumps and whooping-cough germ: filling the air it is hard to see how Charles dodged all of them. The class is glad to welcome Wilda Elliot, a new student from Eagleville. Three of the class, Edna Murdock, Ida Mary Silliman and June Robison, have moved away. Phillip Porter was the class speaker in the declamatory contest. Three seventh graders, Victoria Cobb, Duane Hill and Robert Burns have been on the Honor Roll each month of this year. The most recent president of the Junior Review Club was Homer Gray. The money left in the class fund will be used at the end of the year. A class library of about 110 books has helped out a great deal. Correspondence with the schools of Andover, Connecticut, has been very interesting. They have sent notebooks, drawings and letters, while many things have also been sent 'to them. A great deal has been learned about the boys and girls of this other Andover. SIXTH The sixth grade have an enrollment of twenty-seven, but owing to the epidemic of mumps, only one pupil, Vienna Arnio, had a perfect yearly attendance record. Two mem- bers were lost by withdrawal. Thomas Case, who moved to Arizona in December, and Elmer 'Baker who left for Ashtabula last month. In spite of the forced absence, quarterly examinations showed that the students were doing very good work, and the grades were very gratifying. In November, an operetta, The Maid of the In April, a birthday party for Miss Stine- bring was held by the class. Victoria Cobb baked the cake for the occasion. The girls said that it looked just fine, while the boys agreed that it tasted awfully good. O HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SEVENTH GRADE Hill is our athlete, The curves, he knows them all, And you can surely depend On him to play baseball. Anna knows her writing From A clear down to Z5 Porter knows his airplanes, They sail o'er land and sea. Homer is the farmer, He knows his peas and beans, Robert Burns is a dandy, He walks behind the scenes. Victoria, in arithmetic, Has surely got the speed. We don't use a dictionary, Harry's all we need. -Alfred Nelson. GRADE Bamboo Screen , was given by members of the fifth and sixth grades. A cast of sixty pupils was used.
