P BLS Z A ®6 7? BL§? YEARBOOK COMMITTEE There has been for some time now a definite feeling that the Yearbook was in a rut, that it was the same year after year. In an effort to remedy this condition, we approached the problem from what we consider a new and fresh point of view. The Committee was chosen entirely by and from the regular ’Register staff. The various functions of the class were sub-divided, and their recording entrusted to the gentlemen pictured above. There are several new features this year, as many as are consistent with the limited finances available. Especially deserving of credit are Donald Barkan, in charge of records, and Jack Levenson, who had a hand in everything from adminis- tration to sweeping the floor, performing equally well with pen and broom. Harry Keefe deserves great credit for his work in the sports department. Three gentlemen stood behind us throughout: Mr. Wenners, he with the clutched purse strings: Mr. Marson, he with the terrible blue pencil; and Mr. Dunn, he with the advice, counsel, and occasional malediction. To all these, our sincere and grateful thanks. Without them the Yearbook would have been impossible. :$c Addendum: The whole Staff wishes to express to Editor-in-Chief Donlan its ap- preciation of his constant work and kindly, but firm prodding.

I graduated from the Latin School in 1887, received an A.B. from Harvard in 91 and an A.M. in ' 95. After teaching in various private schools for thirteen years, I was appointed sub-master at the Jefferson School. I transferred to the Latin School May I, 1905. I have taught all the classes and most of the subjects. I find the boys of to-day earnest and enthusiastic students and as well behaved as the boys of fifty years ago. The teachers of the present time make it easy and pleasant for the pupils. Editor ' s note: The Editor feels that any words of his own would be inappropriate here. This modest summary of his career is just what the school would have expected Mr. Winslow to write. Seven

f BLS CLASS OFFICERS Because of the excellent quality of all the candidates for the Class Offices last November, the contests were decidedly close. Thanks to Mr. Dunn ' s capable manage- ment, however, the elections ran off as smoothly as ever. Despite the close races for office, there was immediate approval of the majority’s selections; and the whole class co-operated to make their leaders ' work successful. Included in the several dances was the school ' s first officially recognized Prom. ' Needless to say, these social activities, as well as the banquet, were complete successes in every way. The unanimity of support of the officers ' choice for honorary member of the class is shown by the fact that Mr. Winslow ran away with the title of Most Popular Master in the unofficial poll conducted by Tyrrell. The well-chosen Class Officers, ably assisted by Robinson, Chairman of the Fare- well Dance Committe, and Carey, Chairman of the Banquet Committee, admirably conducted the affairs of the Class throughout a very successful year.
