was presented April I0 and was a great play-the best ever given in Ham- burg by amateurs, everybody said. The play was so different from any other given before that it took well. l5. What took place on the dates of April I6-Zl, inclusive? A never-to-be-forgotten trip to Washington was taken during Easter week. We all admitted that we had the time of our lives, and we wish We were still there, sometimes. I6. What institution has been revived by some Seniors since lVlay I? The long-forgotten custom fforgotten since our Freshman year? of studying was revived a few weeks before graduation. I6. What was the topic of discussion from the time of our return from Washington until graduation? The Senior Essays occupied our thought and time for these last few, precious weeks. l, now at the close of this examination in Current l-listory, Course E, D., declare that l have enjoyed more than words can express, my time spent in high school, regret the time l have Wasted during my four years, and sin- cerely wish that l were just beginning as an innocent Fresman, instead of leaving Hschool life to begin life's school.

JUNIOR GROUP 8. What class furnished the best material for all teams, as Well as all musical and dramatic production in 1921? The Juniors furnished the best material for athletics of every description. ln fact, nearly every team was composed entirely of Juniors. The Juniors were the ones who took part also in the plays during the year, a farce, Wanted, A Wife. and the operetta, 'iThe Eleventh Hour , both of which were very clever and well given. 9. What class won the debate given in Assembly, between the Juniors and Seniors, and what was the proposition? The Juniors won unanimously in this memorable debate. The propo- sition at issue was: Shall the United States Have Closed Shop? lO. Did the Junior Class organize? If so, give names of officers, date of organization and results. The Junior Class did organize and elected as its officers the following: President, Harry Crookerg vice-president, Evelyn Tooleyg secretary, Theo- dore Viehe, and treasurer, Edward Spiesz. The date of organization was April 28, l92l, and the order of business was the planning of the Junior Prom. ll. Did the Class of 'Zi furnish any incentive for the Junior Class? Yes. On the morning of June I0 in assembly, the President of the Class of '2l, presented the President of the Juniors with a spade, giving us this advice: Dig. This we did and have continued to do. l2. When was the Prom? Was it successful? The Junior Prom of l92l was held Tuesday evening, June 20, in the Odd Fellows' Temple. The hall was very beautifully decorated in Purple and White, and everyone said it looked the prettiest he had ever seen it. A merry little fountain, banked with daisies, occupied the center of the floor and added much beauty to the place. Truly, it looked like a model college prom! Altho we made no money, we all considered that the affair was well worth while and hoped the Seniors felt the same. SENIOR GROUP J3. Clive the date of organization and oflicers of the Class of '22, and tell the goal for which the class aimed. The Class of '22 organized on September 26, l92l, and elected the following as officers: President, Theodore Vieheg vice-president, Evelyn Tooleyg secretary, Marjory Gunsollyg treasurer, Harold Weiss. The incentive for which We started to work was our Easter trip to Washington, D. C. l4. By what means was money raised for this trip? Candy sales were held daily to raise money. On December 2, 1921, the Seniors held two short plays, entitled: The Obstinate Family, and 'ilVlr. Bob. A movie, The lVlollycocldle, was given and proved very profitable. The Women's Club aided our class by holding a Marionette Show. The Senior play: The Girl From Upper 7 I3

OLIVE SOPI-IIA AGLE EDEN In Olive we have a fair product of the Carden of Eden. She is not very talkative, but we be- lieve this is 'due mainly to the ride from the heights of Eden to Hamburg on the Erie Railroad. Olive certainly believes the adage Early to Bed and Early to Rise Makes a IVIan I-Iealthy, Wealthy and Wise, for you can generally find her at her desk at S A. M., Working away industriously on English, perhaps. This young lady is a good, conscien- tious performer of her duty in the class room. Still Water runs deep. ELIZABETH ESTI-IER BLACKING IBBETY EDEN Elizabeth Esther Blacking, the bicycle queen from the beautiful garden of Eden, bicycles to Hamburg every day. We wonder if she will ride to Smith College next fall on her trusty steed. She is so firm in her resolutions that even that Irish- man, Patrick IVIcGinnis, couIcIn't inveigle her into matrimony. She is well versed in Latin, having taught those classes in the regular teacher's place when she was absent. Anyone who is in a hurry to get his lessons, goes to seat ZI, on the girls' side, and he will always be sure to have a perfect lesson in class. HAROLD BOULTON DIZZY BOSTON Our Bostonian is certainly a marvel when it comes to the role of Dad Hawkins. I-Ie can talk. Oh, how he can talk! I-Iis never-failing good nature is even more contagious than the Hu. Laugh and the world laughs with you is his motto. One of his hobbies is climbing stairs. If jacob's ladder is anything like the stairs in the Washington monument, we'II vouch for it that I-Iarold will be the first one on the top. RUTH LANNING BRODBECK LIZZ I8 PIERCE AVENUE Last january the Senior Class nearly lost one of its best students, when Ruth announced her inten- tions of leaving us. I-Iowever, the attraction or attractions proved to be too great to sever so easily, viz: Ed and his Ford or George and his Cadillac. Ruth is exceptionally bright in all her studies, especially Physics, in fact so much brighter than the rest of us, in that class, that she does all the work of her other classes, her knitting and sewing in that class, much to the annoyance of IVIr. Clark.
