-ft. ti TRVING SKETCH BOOK ff v:A, Vice Fourth Form History At the beginning of our school year the sophomore class decided to make themselves evident-in spite of the greatly discussed parable chil- dren should be seen and not heard. The Fourth Form was not only seen, but also managed to make itself more or less tmostly the formerl audible throughout the entire school year. Clark and Peckham, not to forget Gerli, performed really miraculous feats with the human voice! The example in athletics was promptly set by President Richards who proved himself extremely capable as the class leader in every branch of school activity. Richards, Deisroth, and Gerli all made the varsity I in football, an unusual feat for Fourth Formers. Deisroth, having grad- uated from Junior ranks, was an invaluable asset to the basketball team, while several other members of the class helped, with unflagging spirit, to build up our quintet. Baseball and track found many aspirants from their numbers and we feel sure that they will carry off their share of the honors. The Fourth Form could hardly be termed a brilliant class, scholastic- ally speaking, however, there are some among them who are on Mr. Ben- netto's list of the Intelligentsiag Portal and Richards are waging a close battle for the scholarship. The general willingness to Work and cheerful spirit aroused the commendation of the faculty and amply made up for any deficiency attributed to them. Parkhurst deserves mention due to the fact that he led the finest cheering at our games that has been heard in many years. We feel confident that the Fourth Form will ably fill the seats left by the Junior class and hope they will continue to progress as they have this past year. .,.. M P - A93 Page sixty mne
