Fifth Form History Last fall we came back to school slightly diminished in numbers, but still with a good-sized class. We elected Edward Wells president; George Dayton, vice-president; Philip Maughan, secretary and treasurer, and Mr. Cleveland, faculty advisor, and at once buckled down to work. Most of the class turned out for football practice. Giles, Gray, II. Dietz and W . Sprague were the football letter men from the Fifth Form. Dayton played on the first squad, but did not receive his letter.
