Station W. T. C. B. signing on! We are about to tell you of the Class of '27 during its third year in the Upper School. Its leaders were changed once more. Now Priscilla Sellman, Ella Poland, and Sarah Woodland, as the officers, guided it skillfully through the perplexities of being one of the three upper classes. Many changes had occurred since the previous year. Elizabeth Barrell, Hester Codman, and Medora Gale had left the ranks. These vacancies were filled by Betty Carpenter, Phoebe Jordan, and Amy Merrill. Unfortunately, '27 began to feel very much at ease during this year! Station W. D. C. B. on the air! This is the fourth year the Class of '27 has been in the Upper School. The officers were Katharine Irwin, Helen Clapp, and Doris Watters. Dorothea Gierasch left for a year and went to Paris to study. We had four new members, Helen Bottger, Eleanor Brown, Rosamond Downer, and Mary Elizabeth Frost. Two notable events of the year are the traditional First Class Dance at which we were entertained by '26, and the Second Class Picnic we gave for '26 at Swampscott. This is station W. U. C.

B iyeiyi 1927 CLASS BOOK Elected to A. A., '21 President of Class, '21 Photographic Committee of Class Book Ring Committee of Class Musical Page lfigh! THE SENIOR CLASS ELIZABETH GEORGE BARTLETT Address--152 Lake Avenue, Newton Centre, Mass. BARN Entered, 1921 Born, February 28, 1909 Hope, Smiling Cheer, Love and Will, Four rungs upon lhy ladder are. Barty is the personification of unlimited fun and good humor. Rarely do we find her moody or hard to get along with. Vlfe can easily picture her doing many things around school with an enthusiasm that breaks the monotony of daily routine: playing the hymn, for instance, in the mornings and trying her best to make it snappierg at luncheon, with those terrible girls at the First Class table Cwill they never grow up9D g and all day long in Study Hall or in class attempting to communicate without receiving a demerit. 'lhe system of signals which she has evolved, so adequate and so intricate, has made us marvel and admire Barty's eliieiency. She keeps us in a constant whirlwind of exeitement, whether dashing madly from one class to another, tearing oil' to a bi-weekly music lesson. or rushing to get the 2.30 CPD home. Her habitual good spirits and merriness of heart suggest the fitness of the following lines as a motto for Barty: Sing away sorrow, Cast away care!
