By the time we had reached the eighth grade, we would have had 42 members if everyone had stayed with us that we added during those years. Only 11 of us went into high school. We shall regard high school as a four feast of knowledge.

Allen Peabody was sec- retary and Paul Whitmarsh, treasurer. We didn't have any class adviser but Mrs. Herbert Padgett was our homeroom teacher.

The courses of this feast were English I, Social studies 9, science, algebra, rudiments of music, Latin or French and home economics. The teachers who sat with us were Mr. Smith, the principal; Miss McGill who taught us to digest algebra; Miss Jaffarian, social studies 9; and Mrs. Baker, English. Officers elected the second year were: Leona Bullock, president; Wallace Hurley, vice president; and Eetty Baldick, secretary and treasurer. Our toast- mistress this time was Miss Bloomfield, a new teacher on the staff.

The course Miss Bloomfield offered this feast was English II. The other courses were social studies 10, health, geometry and biology.
