THE OUTLL 13 Now we come to our dearly beloved and respected former librarian, Miss Marietta Parshley, who retired last year after faithfully serving the Gardiner schools for a long period. For the last eighteen years she has been libraf rian of the Alice M. Richards' Memorial Library at the High School, where she en' deared herself to students and teachers alike with her pleasant manner and unselnsh devotion to her work. On all the young people who knew her she has left a lasting impression Of goodness and patience which they will always remember. And so while we associate ourselves with the new friends, let us not forget the old. SENIOR CLASS The senior class held its first meeting shortly after the beginning Of the school year.

The decorating was exceptionally good this year, the color scheme being yellow and white and red and white. We had a large number of boys from our class on the football team this year. Norman Hersom won his letter. FRESHMAN CLASS The freshman class held its Hrst meeting September 20 for the purpose of electing offif cers.

Games were played under the direction of Mr. Danf forth and were enjoyed by everybody. At the Athletic Fair the freshmen had a white elephant table which was decorated with red and white, the class colors. A brightly lighted Christmas tree stood at either end of the table. This table was very profitable. 1i The idea for the tacktack designs used for the senior fortunes originated with Perley Betts and was carried out by a committee of senior members of the QUILL STAFF.

Thomas Kelley drew the designs for the center of the sports scene at Crowley's. page and for the little The design for the cut at the head of the jokes section was made by Robert Demers of the freshman class.
