'12, Senior Qllaas Qiatnrg ln the fall of the year lOl3, we came to Cranston lligh School, a group of children, wide-eyed and open-mouthed. Wle gazed in awe and admiration at the dignified Seniors who passed us in the corridors, and quaked with fear when first we were sent to the office for mis- behavior. As usual, we were late for classes during the first few days, partly because of our greenness and partly because we were purposely misdirected bv upper classmen. XYe have the honor of saying that we were the hrst Fresh- men to occupy the new addition: also the first to have Mr. Bosworth for our principalg and, finally, we are the first to have had physical training for four years. As Sophs. we duly watched our charges, the Freshmen, and started them on the straight and narrow path. lt was in this year that an old institu- tion, the study room system, was abol- ished. 'l'he only way that we can ac- count for this extraordinary happening is that Mr. Bosworth, after trying us one year. recognized the zeal and integ- rity of our class and thought such a system unnecessary. As .luniors we fthe unlucky onesl plunged headlong into the depths of fliemistry, but most of us managed to keep our heads up until vacation came to our rescue. The masquerade which we gave in this year proved a great suc- cess, as did also the Senior dance which we gave the next year. During our Senior year a new insti- tution was founded which resembled somewhat the study room system of old. XVe are convinced that this was not adopted to benefit the Seniors. for it would be practically impossible for them to derive much benefit from it: consequently it must have been adopted to benefit the lower classmen. XYe ear- nestly hope that they will endeavor to follow the sterling example set by the illustrious class of '22, Also during our Senior year came the crowning success of all our achievements-the winning of the debate against East Providence. and with it a loving cup, a trophy which will grace our library as a memento of interscholastic debating and of the class of '2Z. whose members won it. Our Senior year is fast dying out, and the day is approaching when grad- uation will be foremost in our minds. XVe are all glad that we have success- fully completed the prescribed courses of study: yet it is not without a feeling of sadness that we think of leaving old friends, familiar scenes, and especially our dear old Alma Mater, Cranston High School.
