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

THE ARGUS V.-To our Junior sisters we leave' the following advice: Take not the Regents too much to heart for- 1. The theory of the ancients concerning the survival of the littest has never yet been proved false. Therefore our con- clusion fpoor consolation tho' it may bej that 'those fit for said examinations will survive them is well grounded. 2. The worst is yet to come. VI.-To the sophomores we leave' the duty of finding all the keys to the various clothing closets, which have mysteriouslyl disappeared. In case of their failure to fulfill this duty, it is automatically transferred to their younger sisters. VII.-To the pride of our old age, our youngest, we leave: 1. The task of trying to keep that school girl complexion. We have long since given up the struggle. Z.-the following advice :- Keep on the right side of the building and of the faculty, try to be present as much as possible at your classes, and always have a good excuse ready-you may need it. And lastly do we make, constitute and appoint Miss Marie Genevieve CBernicej Beirne, Executor of this our last Will and Testament. Having thus disposed of our greatest possessions, namely our Advice and Good Wishes, in witness whereof we do here- unto set our name and seal this dreary day of .......... in the year of our Lord, 1923, in the year of the U. S. A. 147, in the year of our alumnae, O. Signed Class of Jan. '24 Wittynesses Kum On Wee Roff W. E. Muslev 96
