Class History WAS a year of tremendous upheaval. Stocks went down, markets crashed, tickers ticked at a dangerous rate, and in the midst of all this disturbance we fell from our heights of satisfaction, our heights of Sever, Tat- nuck, and Iunior High to the lowest of lows in Classical. No raid of bears on bulls was more fierce than the attack of the faculty on our youth- ful egoisml VVC were caught short, but with resolution unbelievable for our years we strove and strove and finally became hardened Sopho- mores. This was a period of retrenching, digging in, as it were-silent we were now, but preparing VERA ADAMS for our say as Iuniors and Seniors.

The trumpets blared and in true Olympian fashion our stars of field and court brought home suc- cess in many fields. To praise the deeds of every worthy player would cause l u1r1'!c'n1
