CLASS ECHOES 1916 CLASS EDITORIAL I T IS with a certain amount of regret that I, in behalf of the Class of 1916, offer these few parting remarks to the boys and girls of Everett High School. The past four years have been not only a source of great benefit in pre¬ paring and fitting us for the future, but they have also been years of keen pleasure and enjoyment, in spite of the beating hearts and frightened expres¬ sions that invariably loomed up around examination time. This last year has been remarkably successful. Through the good, steady training of Mr. Cleo O’Donnell, who to our sorrow is bidding us fare¬ well, the football squad succeeded in retaining the school-boy championship of the country, an honor which the whole school has appreciated. Our Senior Class Meetings have been thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The humorous class papers written by the different class editors, contributed largely to the evening’s pleasure. The Girls’ Glee Club deserves special mention. Its high standard throughout the year can be traced back to the steady conscientious way in which the girls worked, under Miss Myra Marshall’s training. The club has certainly won a lot of praise and has been a great credit to the school. The Boys’ Glee Club is a new venture, organized by our singing master, Mr. Colburn. So far it has met with considerable success, and we trust that before another year has passed it will be a well established body. The night after Thanksgiving, the Senior Dance was held at Murdock’s Bungalow, in Everett. Everyone who attended voted the dance a great success and went home pleased with their evening’s fun. The Prize-Speaking Contest which took place on the evening of March 1st, was a well attended affair, Mr. Hugh Bond winning first prize for the boys and Miss Mildred Greenburg first prize for the girls. The second prize was taken by Mr. Philip Dorn, while Mr. Fred Allen succeeded in carrying off the Audience Prize. On April 11 and 12, the Seniors presented the Class Play entitled “The Girl from Upper Seven,” A lot of time and forethought was spent upon the selection of the play, but the class felt well repaid for its trouble, as both performances proved to be a tremendous success, Messrs. Leslie Sampson and Philip Crockett winning a round of applause each evening for their clever acting. The great event of the year, Field Day, is something to be looked forward to, it being scheduled for June 26, at Riverside. Seniors and friends who are lucky enough to procure tickets will be seen making a rush for cars in Everett Square, early on that morning. In preparing the day’s entertainment, the class has followed out the program used by the preceding classes, which will consist of canoeing, swim ming, dancing, and various other sports, and that 6
