Class of Summer 21 UMMER '21! How long those words have echoed to us as out of a dim, distant vista! Of the present sixty, fifteen of FW. us have been comrades together from '17 to '21, Ours is the p 71.1 first class to have the guidance of the same counsellor throughout the four years, for Miss Peterson mothered part of the girls when they were little, frightened Uscrubsi' eager , to be Franklinites. And she was their advisor through the :gif following years, as they grew a little wiser for was it more J r foolish FJ. To her we owe much, and words are, as so often, inadequate to express our thanks to her. Then one day, the door of 208 I-lew open, and in burst those boys -the other half of the class-and peace departed forever. Family scraps commenced and-oh well, we all know boys! So it went, and now we're Seniors, having added new recruits. And this last year is proving the best of all. fVVe see the skeptical glances of the faculty as they recall our illustrations of how to raise the rooffij Our class chairman for the first ten weeks was Lee McTurnan, a new live wire. Charles Miller, with Bessie Pfister as social chairman, steered us through the last of our Senior B days. The announcement of the VVinter '21 colors gave an opportunity for the class to distinguish itself,-mournfully. Enough said? Then there is our social side. NVe're a very sociable class when we're not dis-cussing colors, dresses, or announcements. A superbondonjical beach- party-water-melon-truck-ride was featured last term. As we look back, the rolling and tossing of water Cwaves and melonsj meet our vision, and the sound of brilliant remarks iloats back over the roar and bumps of the vehicles, Later in the term Miss Peterson entertained the Senior B's and faculty at a delightful evening reception. It was the best mixer of the term and everyone was enjoying everyone else so fast that we nearly played the Cin- derella trick. VVell, in short, we were a well-started class before the VVinter Twenty- oners stepped off the platform, but it was with a little gasp that we suddenly woke up to Hnd ourselves it.', First-our ofhcers-. It was a close race throughout, resulting in the choice of Harold Roberts as President, Cuddy McKeown, Vice-President, Helen Van Sittert, Social Chairman, and Helen Macfjlashan, Secretary-Treasurer. Then colors-oh what memories! VVhat Wild, earnest oration a few little ribbons called forth. Anyway-we're all loyal to Orange and NVhite now. We decided to spring them before anyone let it outf' and dazzled the eyes of the wondering underclassmen with our waving pompons and Seniorious voices. As yet, imperative business has occupied the time and minds of the class, and we're just about ready to have a really good time Cas though we hadn't already lj Most of the important events will take place after our book goes to press, but the school will, none the less, hear more anon. And so adieu, Franklin! --21--
