Class History In welcoming you to our commencement exercises today, we do so with profound realization that ours, indeed, is a most unusual class, although there were a few people who had doubts as to whether we could ever ,manage to graduate. When Miss Pierson viewed us coming into her classroom as freshmen-we were so green that we thought Social Studies was just the art of making friends. Miss Tilley was the new Headmistress at Ellis that year, and was the only one that had much confidence in us, she refused to shake her head the way tl1e rest of the world did. No, she said, this crowd will improve. They'll have to!', And we did. That year we seemed to be supplied with nothing but questions: Why can't we go in the front door F Why don't we get invited to the Junior Prom? Why does our lunch room have to be proctored ? Why do we take mythology? Why don't we have a representative on the Student Council? It's a wonder that there was any school left after our freshman year. We rubbed incense over Mademoiselle Mier's floors, sneaked up to the rodeos at lunch time, and practically killed everyone on the hockey field. The next year as sophomores, we lost a few of our members, but gained two new ones. We were privileged to make biology one of our subjects that yearg but between the dissecting of frogs and the hilarious trips to the Museum, we're afraid Miss Hutchinson thought us quite an ordeal. Two of our classmates were chosen to represent us in Student Council, and we were finally allowed to eat lunch with- out a proctor. There was no sense in letting a teacher get involved in one of our fights. This was the first year we were allowed to attend the Junior Prom, and we really made a night of it! In February, one of our members was chosen to be initiated into the E.A.A. In May we prepared for the annual Spring Fair, where our class held an auction. We made quite a profit by being able to auction off cigar- ettes, nylons, and butter for four and five dollars, This was the year in which we had to perform many sisterly duties for the seniors. On Class Day we served lunch to the whole upper school. A few survived! The next morning we got to school about six o'clock, loaded with flowers, in order to make the traditional arches for the seniors. We were right proud of ourselves as we held them for the graduating class to walk beneath, and later as we marched up to present them with our farewell gifts. Our Junior year began with a luncheon for the new girls at the Athletic Club. Many new teachers greeted us on the first day of school but it didn't take them long to learn our names. This was a busy year for us, as we had to plan for the Junior Prom and work for the Guild. In November two more of our members were hon- ored by being initiated into the E.A.A., and for two weeks they appeared with black stockings and straggly pigtails. After Thanksgiving we awaited with anticipation our Christmas Vacation with all the wonderful parties, including the Ellis Tea Dance. On our return we settled down to study for the dreaded mid-year exams! After these trials, there was a free day for all the good students who had earned enough merits-the Junior Class attended school as usual! March found us scurry- ing about like mad in preparation for our Junior Prom. It turned out to be 'a great E101
