SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four long years ago the Class of 1921 came to life in Bradford Academy. It was not an u1111oticed entrance, for although small i11 numbers, the infant class attracted 111uch t1ft6llJl7lO11 by its various activities. The next year found t.we11ty-one 1'll61l'lbC1'S in tl1e Class of '21, and this proved to be a. lucky sign, for it was tl1en we gained a name, one that was noted for rising to t11e occasio11 and helping out i11 difficulties. Several Saturday afternoons were spent in getting up impromptu entertainments for the even- i11g. And how we did enjoy doing it! ' Being Sophomores was great fun and the spirit of enthusiasm gave a flying start -to tl1e Orange a11d Black. It was not 11ntil we carried the la11rel for our departing Se11ior sisters that we realized with both gladness and regret that our Soph year was over. J11niors! How important we had become! And how impressively we walked through these ancestral halls. 'Our numbers had grown, and with great emphasis we sang: Oh hail! the Junior Class of '21, we march along 3 NVe cheer you, Bradford, with a mighty song- lVe're sixty strong. ' And the ti111e did fly! Soon notices were read every day. wllhere will be a Junior song practice directly after lunch in the Junior Room. Please be prompt, and we were. After Singing on the Stairs, even the condescending Seniors remarked, ffYour songs were awfully pretty, and we felt repaid for o11r labor. WVith redoubled enthusiasm we returned in January. Kitchen Kannaries fcanaries, not canneriesj was announced, and the whole school flocked to the gym to hear and see the K. K. work in Susie's band, which performed excel- lently. ,It was too bad that Sousa himself was not around to take notes fro111 that famous presentation. Class Spread! VVho will forget that n1otley gathering of hungry farmers, their wives a11d children, who proved to be sleight-of-hand artists, for the delicious viands appeared only to disappear. For the first and last time tl1at night the great dramatic success, ffOindrelephant, was presented. No play can ever be its equal and no playwright can ever hope to find s11ch an appre- ciative audience. Speculations on the name of the Senior Play S0011 followed, and a Junior always says she knows. Everyone tried to smile knowingly when Captain Letterblaire was announced. Easter vacation was eagerly welcomed a11d a very merry throng gathered O11 the stairs the night before we left. The Spring term consisted of work, plai11 and unadulterated work, for we l1ad a secret which had to be carried out. Sherwood! Every afternoon saw us in the grove, 1111der the directio11 of our persevering a11d undaunted coach, going over lines not once, but fifty ti111es. In spite of extreme at111osp11eric 1 2 7
