THE ARGUS mm' igiatnrg Senior Class of 1924. First Term: Dear Diary- Here we are in Hunter beginning our High School career. Our Bijg Sisters are just lovely. Imagine being in the lifth term. We just elected a blonde girl, Harriet Steele, as our president, because she answered Miss Coan's question- Why did I choose Hunter! -best. We wonder how she knew. Anyway, we know that we're going to love Hunter. Second Term: Sigma Gamma Pi -what does it mean? It couldn't be Latin or we'd know it. It must be French! At any rate, all the seniors are talking about it. Blanch Berkovitz is awfully smart. Vw'e elected her as president. Third Term: Now we are sophomores. How childish the freshman look! Sigma Gamma Pi can't be French, for we've studied it for almost a term and! -we haven't come across it yet. The Ger- man girls say it isn't German either. Edna Rappaport, our cheer-leader at the Golden Jubilee, last term, is now our president. Fourth Term: College life for us! Why they even have a. lunch-room down here! During one of our chapel periods, we elected Har- riet Steele, president. Three cheers for Harriet, a most capable girl. Fifth Term : Juniors-and back to dear old 108. We just learned that Sigma is an Onganizationl It's Greek! Cicero writes pretty well for his time, so, naturally we must make allowance for his conceit. Dorothy Bachner is our President and under Miss Corrigan, as Faculty Advisor, we hope to make great progress. 93

THE ARGUS Sixth Term : Alas, the Regents loom before us all too soon! Our dram- atic ability has reached its height. We have .given two defmon- strations of it. The A6A, and The House of Seven Labels have met with great success. 'The latter was quite popular among the pupils. Dorothy Bachner has made 3, good president. Seventh Term : This first half of our senior year has been devoted largely to furthering the interest of our school. Under the leadership of our President, Alma Denenholz, we have reached the Seventh Heaven. Our table at the Hunter College Bazaar was voted the most attractive. Rah for us! Our Marionnette Show at De Witt Clinton, words cannot describe it!!! Last, but far from least, was the dance to which De Witt Clinton, 7th Form, invited us. Eighth Term : 'Tis with pain indeed that we contemplate bidding you farewell, oh diary. For with closing you, we must end our High School career. This last tenm is full of pep and joy. Dorothy Bachner has led us to success. Our Eighth Term Party was the best wle've ever had Cas it should bel. With great coniidence that all who read this diary have attended and enjoyed our Senior Play, we will bid you a fond adieu. Senior Class. 3? 94
