THE FIELD DAY The long looked-for event of the year takes place on Monday, June 26. The Riverside Recreation Grounds were selected by the Class as the scene of this most glorious event of the year. The cars will leave Everett Square at 9.30 and will return at 9.30. There is one thing to remember. You are going to be away from breakfast time till bed-time, that means that you must bring along dinner and supper. With all due respect to the cafe out to the grounds don’t build your hopes on the idea of getting something to eat out there, unless papa is connected with the U. S. Mint. If you doubt the writer’s words ask P. C. of Room 21. He has a very convincing argument. Further advice cannot be given except in regard to canoes. Don’t try to play water polo, unless in bathing suits, don’t try to hold a dance, for canoes are very sensitive when it comes to that stunt. Furthermore, don’t try to change your position while in the middle of the river, for you are only like the man in Maine who read that human eyes of hypnotism were full. He went to see if it would work on an angry bull. (It wouldn’t.) The usual events of a field day will be held and prizes for the winners will be presented in the dance hall in the evening. If you want the time of your life don’t miss the Field Day. It also might be interesting to know that the total damages as far as transportation is concerned is 50 cents. All Seniors with their dues paid receive free tickets. CLASS OF 1917 Another year at Everett High School will soon pass into history, so as usual we must have a little summary of past events of our Junior Class. Our first mention is of the foremost event of the year—the Prom. The chairman of the committee was Harold Spear, and under his supervision everything concerning this affair was a great success—everything except the weather for which he cannot be held responsible. The Junior class was well represented in athletics by Hugh Bond and Fred Marshall, both of natural athletic ability as has been plainly shown in their records. Our class officers namely: Hugh Bond, President; Vertna Bray, Vice- President; Lillian Benson, Treasurer; and Grace Oram, Secretary; deserve a great deal of credit for having served their officers so faithfully, and to our president the success of the Class-Meetings is due. Just one more mention we wish to make before bidding farewell to the Seniors, and that is concerning the Monday morning entertainments, which are in charge of the Juniors. To John Alcott and Harold Spear there is no 10

criticism due, for their selections, during the year, have been most enjoyable to everyone. Now just a line or two more to wish to each and every member of the Senior class, great accomplishments and success in the unlimited field of opportunity which may greet them in the future. CLASS OF 1918 The class of 1918 is not a class of athletes. However, in “Olie” Johnson the class has a representative on the baseball squad to be proud of and one who, in the future, is bound to prove a wonderful asset to Everett High. This class has done exceptionally well on the rostra. In its Freshman year it was represented in the prize-speaking contest by Frederick Allen, Stuart Crippin, and Celia Fowler, the two former winning three of the four prizes. This year Allen won the audience prize in this contest. Besides Fred Allen the class entered Harold Brown, Philip Riley, and Alfred Grant, making two more contestants than were entered from any other class. Last year, Aurie Johnson, one of our prominent classmates, was a speaker of the winning team in the Boys’ and Girls’ debate, while Prescott Whittier served as alternate. Whittier also accepted for the school the gift of the class of 1915. This year, the sophomore class has had full as many, if not more, active members in the Lyceum than any other class. It has one officer in this society, Alfred Grant having been elected Clerk upon the resignation of Loring Creamer, ’17. In the joint debates held on May 5, this class was represented by three members, Alfred Grant, Aurie Johnson, and Philip Riley, the two latter being on the team that defeated Melrose. Riley was a committee of one for arrangements for the Everett-Melrose debate. The class of 1918 also holds the inter-class debating championship, having won both the preliminary debate with the Freshmen and the final debate with the Juniors. In the Boys’ and Girls’ debate this year the Sophomore class had mem¬ bers on both teams. Celia Fowler was captain of the winning girls’ team. Aurie Johnson served a second time on the boys’ team and Alfred Grant was alternate and had charge of the arrangements for the debate. But we must not forget the girls who have served their class and school in the Girls’ Glee Club. Our class has six members in this famous group of singers, namely, Mildred Dolbeare, Mildred Faught, Edith Hoyt, Alice Jackson, Dorothy Colton, and Dorothy Bixby. The class of 1918 is also represented in the two new organizations that have taken root this year, The Boys’ Glee Club and the High School Orchestra. 12
