ALEX MANIER The class of '27 has thoroughly profited by its four years of high school life. It was a pleasure for all of us to be members of a class of its kind. Democracy was its outstanding purpose with its definition dehned as: Not, I am better than you areg but you are as good as I. With this in mind we enjoyed everything we attempted to do. The organization of class cabinets was due to the seniors during their junior year, and now the other classes have adopted this requisite for systematic class government. Members of this class have won distinction as responsible leaders of this institution. The adoption of the Clarion as a personal class project was the first movement of its kind attempted in this high school and is indicative of the service program which has been followed since the freshman year. In order to make A. H. S. a better school, let our record challenge others to raise the standard of our Alma Mater to its highest. HBILLH LEE. Page twenty-five

Ubi? mation ' Senior Memories And thus unto the court spake the bard: Hark Ye! List to a tale of times told of that glorious knight errantry that left the friendly portals of the old castle of A. H, S. in 1927, tutored in divers arts and trained in many jousts in preparation for the great tournament of life. They were 3oo strong, young and courageous when hrst they entered the castle gates, This unproved knight errantry rose in spite of its handicaps and participated in every contest and activity of the court. Three hardy youths were their leaders: president, Cuthbert Ryan, vice-president, William Leeg and Secretary and Treasurer, Francis Rooneyg the class by means of personal merits proved its mettle and was a close contestant in the school spirit race. But the third year will never be forgotten. The class decreed that it would abide by the principles of democracy, and foster a truly representative adminis- tration. With this aim in mind, a class cabinet was organized which directed many projects. The junior play, Seven Chances was produced with splendid success. The administrators, who themselves worked hard, and inspired the class were: lfrancis Rooney, president, Beatrice Segal, vice-president: Barbara Shinners, secretary and treasurer. Then came the last and most glorious year. With a reputation for plant- ing the seed of democracy and for volunteering projects, the seniors then pro- ceeded to greater and higher attainments. The class sponsored the Clarion. and thereby attained a new honor and established a new custom. The faithful officers, William Lee, presidentg Robert Eads, vice-president, Kathleen Cooney, secretaryg and Alex Manier, treasurer, loyally worked for the glory of the class, staunchly supported by every member. Then came the departure and each sallied forth on class day to a bigger and broader task, the winning of the world. Amidst complete silence the minstrel sang the valedictory of the class. Never had the court heard such beautiful music as then rang through every bower and hall of the castle. But the music appeared to go up and on-and oh, so faintly seemed swelled by many older voices from the four corners of the globe. And when the last verse began the music welled into a tremendous avalanche of harmony. Mothers loyal sons and daughters Scattered through the world Strive to keep her glorious standard To the breeze unfurledf' Page lu -enty-six
