The class of '30 has participated in many brilliant activities. The first of these, the Poverty llall, made a success by the class, was certainly a great feature of the ,l lallowe'en Season. The hall was attractively decorated in black and orange. Everyone came poverty-stricken as judged by outward appearance, each hopefully waiting for the prizes promised for the most appropriate costume. Aldona Zelinsky and Merle l.ibby received the prizes. VVith music furnished by VVarren's Orches- tra, games and dancing were enjoyed. Doughnuts and cider were served for re- freshments. The social evening was brought to a close by a balloon dance. lYe next turned our attention toward our Senior Play, which was very delight- fully presented before a large audience on Friday evening, February 21st, Come Out of the Kitchen is a very popular play and has been very ably coached by Miss l'earl lYoodard of the .Xcademy faculty.

Academy Review XVILLIS THOMAS Willie Boys' Club CSB, 415 French Club C41. Bid him mm1lec'. Poor XVillie just coulcln't get interested in French. His mind seemed to wander to the wide open spaces. Mrs. Chase has used all the patience in the world and usually smiles to the anecdotes of the Petit garcon. However, French isn't the only accomplishment, Willie, and we know you will go over the top.

Lair is not low' l'V1Iit'l1 alters wlzen if alterulioiz finds. Our salutatorian has searched the halls of fame and has found that the greatest lover lives on the colder street. By looking at his list of activities one sees the blank space that will be left at F. A. next year. He has a genial dis- position, a quality of leadership and a line character that will ensure his future at Maine.
