Claes History A The history of the noble Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Seven is like a four-act drama. In September. 19.23. the curtain was raised on a crowd of little green Freshmen, led by three valiant officers: Robert Olmsted, president: Frances Fritz, vice president. Aside from getting organized, the only activity was sponsoring the movie, Alice Adams, The second act opened by electing Sophomore olifrcers. john Norris was chosen presidentg Helen Schwartz. vice president, and Robert Layng, secretary and treasurer. Soon funds were raised by putting on a movie, and then the height of glory was reached when the Sophomore Hop was held. The sum of 37.50 was realized-pretty good for the fast maturing little Sophs! With the third act, the plot thickened. NVe were juniors. now! The principals chosen were: President, james Phillips: vice president, Robert Olm- sted: secretary and treasurer, Catherine Thonia. The tirst financial undertak- ing was a candy sale, followed shortly by the movie, Head XVinds. featuring House Peters. Both of these adventures were highly successful, making the juniors' bank balance about 370. This was far too great a sum to keep in our pockets. so we decided to give our Senior brethren a farewell party. The dance went over big, and tittingly closed the year. . ln the fall of 1926, we began the tinal act, Otiicers were elected: Allen Richardson, president: Catherine Thoma, vice presideutg Helen Schwartz, sec- retary and treasurer: and Miss Doris Evans, Patron Saint, Our first stunt was a Hallowe'en party, from which we cleared SSO, an unheard of thing in the history of the school! During Christmas vacation came the Senior Ball with jan Garher's Hotel Arlington orchestra, from Binghamton. The success of the ball added to our growing reputation. so arrangements were made for stag- ing an indoor circus. Meanwhile, a highly interesting and profitable Simonds Debate took place. But to return to the circus, it was all a circus should be and then some! It will always be remembered in our annals. as will the glorious fact that, resulting from it, the Senior bank account was swelled 3250! For the following few weeks, however, all Seniors were found pouring over stu- pendous volumes of Health and Exercise, for on April 13th we were fated to write the NVebster Memorial essay, After that task, came the climax of theyear, producing the Senior play. Louis Beach's The Goose Hangs Highi' was selected, and oh, how we worked to put it across. The eventful date of May 6th came, the play was staged. and acclaimed the best ever achiev- ed iu Carthage High! Only one more activity awaits us now before the tinal curtain drops, and our careers in old C. H. S. are ended. That one is the grandest of all-Conn mencentent-the first milestone in our lives.
