Several members left our class at the end of our Freshman year, but the next September found as many others to take their places. These were Hazel Potter. Katherine Perkins, Burton l-iarland, Charles Thurston, Oriole Mc- lntire, lidwin Allard, and Arline Abbott. A notable event of. ouri Sophomore year was a play. Anita's Trial, given by some of the girls of the Academy. lfsther Allard made an ideal old maid and Katharine Bailey a beauti- ful young bride. very mach in love. liarly in the spring of our second year the faculty chose the speakers for the prize division, of course such a HHft Zk'Ul'flI-X' class as ours must he rep- resented. and Charles.
