MR. WHITTEMORE AND THE MEMBERS or oun F ACULTY: To you, our teachers and helpers, we, the Senior Class of l9l I, sub- mit this, the fourth edition of the Senior Quill. We have tried to make our book interesting and instructive. We have endeavored to show herein some of the gratitude which feel for the hearty co-operation with which you have entered into all of our work and play, making the years we have spent at Framingham happy years. We believe that the Senior Quill can be made much more useful and we hope that succeeding classes will improve on our work. To the classes which have preceded us in publishing the Senior Quill, we wish to acknowledge, with thanks, the helpful suggestions, which we have striven to carry out. -

7 Editorials JUNIORS-We hope you will greatly improve on our Senior Quill when you publish your book. Make the Quill an essential feature of the school work. Give it literary value. And, above all, be as origi- nal as possible. All these things are necessary to the existence of a paper, without them the paper cannot prosper. - , . - av 1.', ,-r.. ,W ,,.'-1, I V 5 -Q, 1 . if 3. jf- , 5,- SENIORS-We all remember that sweetly solemn clay last spring when Mr. Whittemore announced that there would be no roll of honor in the school. We were all happy, some of us because we knew our names would never be placed there, others because we feared we would not at- tain to it. But I wonder how many of us now, so near our graduation, ever think of the conditions necessary for a place on that honor roll, and how many of them each of us has fulfilled. It is worth thinking about. IT is hoped that the article, herein printed, concerning the art collections in the reading room, will stimulate an interest in those exhibits. WE are glad that Mr. Whittemore doesn't go South every week,-but then it isn't quite so lonely when he sends his love to the school. MUCH discussion has arisen lately concerning a three-years' course for the regular department. In general, it seems to be the girls' opin- ion that such a course would be a good thing. Many reasons are given for this opinion, but these three seem to be the most sound. First, there is too much work to be done in two years, and, consequently, the girls get tired and run-down. Secondly, since so much manual and industrial work has been introduced in the grades, the teacher must have a knowl- edge of this work and how to teach it, in addition to the other subjects- not in place of them. Third, more time could be devoted to the important work in the practice school. Un the other hand, it has been suggested that many girls could not aford to come three years. But, if we stop to consider, l think, it will be seen that as better equipped and more efficient teachers we would soon be repaid. However, it is a point for discussion.
