junior (ttlass Jtistnru MARGARET MORRISON CARNEGIE SCHOOL tiiemselves—entered, for the first time, the? sacred portals of the Mar garet Morrison Carnegie School? Do you remember how, as Plebes, they suffered persecution at tli(‘ hands of the Juniors, and how, in spite of the fact that in the eyes of the upper classes they were little “nobodies, most of them went courageously on to the end of the year, always working conscientiously and yet making the best of the few privileges that were given them? And then, do you remember how that same class returned the next year as Juniors and how they were still undeservingly looked down upon by the Seniors, but deservingly looked up to by the Plebes? The throe most important events of that year were the making of Mrs. Carnegie's tea cloth, in which the Juniors experienced the real joy of giving; the Junior Prom, at which they shone in all their splendor; and the decision as to what course to take tin next year, which was really the crisis of their school lives. Surely you have not forgotten that forty-one of these Juniors returned to tin Margaret Morrison Carnegie School to take up their careers as noble Seniors. Do you ask what became of the others?

In fact, they work so hard that they have had to give up basket ball altogether. The (Hee and Dramatic Clubs also have suffered somewhat from the loss of Senior members, but there are some Seniors who are faithful still, for what would tin Glee Club concert or “As You Like It, be without the Seniors? And, of course, all the Seniors manage to find time enough to be faithful Guild workers. Even the social affairs have been few. To be sure, there was the Plebe Reception at which the Seniors were very important personages, and then the Senior Dance, where the Seniors shone alone, but the one great social event of the year is yet to come—the Senior Ball. And now, do you know that this most illustrious class of which we have been speaking, is none other than the Class of 11)12, whose deeds will be recorded in the annate of history and whose fame will be spread abroad as the most perfect, most studious, and most inspiring class that has ever attended or ever will attend the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School for Women? 23 D () you remember that bright September day three years ago when about eighty-five little lasses—some with their mamas, some with their papas, and some stepping bravely along by
