The Seniors .i S , ,., Class History of '27 In September 1923, our class had the honor of enrolling as Freshmen at Arms Academy. To say the least, we felt a bit out of plaee or, to use the common expres- sion, simply green However, in due time we successfully passed through the verdant stage and decided to abandon time-worn custom and organize our class. Accordingly we gathered together in the Freshman Room, and elected as our class officers the following: William Mahoney, president, Minnie Reagy, vice-president, Helen Legate, secretary, and Farley Manning, treasurer. Helen Legate and Farley llvlanning represented us as prize speakers. Helen not only took first prize at the local contest, but also, first prize at the Inter-Scholastic Contest at Gardner. The next fall we returned to Arms as Sophomores, and, unlike most people of that rank, we were noticeably dignified, studious, and modest. For this year we thought it best to have John Burnham for president. Jarvis Hadley and Minnie Reagey did us great honor by carrying away both awards in the Prize ,..w Speaking Contest. To end our year's events we must not forget to mention the Sophomore Social and, also, those finger ornaments that were found on the hands of some of the upper classmen. As Juniors we chose Russell Purrington to carry on our class affairs for us. The big social event of our Junior year was the Junior Prom, the best known in the history of the school. It was an overwhelming success, not only in pleasure but in decora- tions. llaisy Abbott and William Mahoney were our prize speakers. Our Senior year has been the climax of four years profitably and happily spent. We have gradually put aside our childish thoughts, enlarged our youthful ideals, and have become accustomed to play the role of dignified Seniors. Rus, our standby, was again president. He, also, with Isabel Halberg, represented us at prize speaking. Although industriously occupied with the prime duties of high school life, we have not neglected the social phase of it for our Senior Social was very fine. During our four years at Arms our class has been prominently represented in all

The uniors 3 Junior History In the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred :md twenty-five, sixty-eight boys and girls entered Arms Academy to begin the history of one of the most fzunous elusses ever enrolled. Usually the first year :it high sehool is rather uneventful but our elziss, full of school spirit and enthusiasm, started right in on the hard work. At our first eluss meeting the following officers were elected: president, Burton Kezieh, vice-president, Clarence Lilly, secretary, Helene Jones, and treasurer, Katherine Lu.Belle. At the next class meeting prize speakers were elected. Marjorie Herzig and Clurenee Lilly were the honored ones. VVC were very well represented ut the T rack Meet at Greenfield and many were the prizes offered to the energetic boys of '28. Why we even have drainzitie ability! Would you believe that freshmen could give a scene from the Merchant of Venice? Well, we did, :ind it wus ai great suceess. Many were the hours spent by Miss Bronson to muke it so. In our Sophomore yezu' we eontinued to rise to the greatest of' heights. The eluss eleeted fflzirenee Lilly, president, Lois Croinztek, viee-presidentg Harriet Kemp, seeretziry, :md Burton Kezieh, trezisurer. Clzirenee proved to be zu, great lender amd under his supervision mzmy good times were hzid. Prize speaking this yeur heaped high honors on our eluss-both Lois Cromziek :ind Harold Herzig won the first prizes. The night of May 11 will always be ai memorable one to ull those who attended the eontest. The play, The Rivals, must huve interested quite ai few of' our elaissmen for muny important purts were taken by the Sophomores. Perhaps the sueeess of the year was the Chinese Social. This was our first attempt in the soeiul life of' the high school. We elected ft eominittee of six hard Workers nzunely: Helene Jones, Dorothy Tudor, Kzitherine Lzilielle, Ulzirenee Lilly, Harold
