SPECIALS. John Pierce. Class History I N THE year 1896, the school com- mittee, recognizing the fact that the present graduating class was something you don’t meet every day, decided to give the aforesaid class a wider field in which to display their remarkable abilities. Accordingly, we, the famous class of 1901, then ninth graders, were ushered into the F. H. S. with ex- ceeding great gusto, under the ad- miring eyes of the various teachers of the school.

In our first Junior class meeting several things were d iscovered, the two notable ones being that we were so popular with each other as to cause nearly all the boys being nomi- nated for president ; and that nearly twice as many votes w’ere cast as there were members present. This we cannot explain. The class at this time was extremely fastidious, it being necessary for three committees to be chosen before a satisfactory design was brought in for a class pin. We set the pace as money-getters, as receipts from our class parties and Whalom entertainment will show. With part of this money we deco- rated city hall for the Senior class promenade, and as part payment took away their flag. Several child- ish attempts were made by the Sen- iors to regain their property. Some
