Noah Webster, of dictionary fame, in defining a sponsor, says, One who 2 binds himself to answer for another's defaultg a suretyg or, one who at the baptism of an infant or child guarantees its religious education. Our common use of the word, 'iclass sponsor, does not come within this defi- ' nition. Neither of the two meanings would fit. Our sponsors do not literally bind themselves to answer for our defaultsg nor do they attempt to guarantee the religious education of the new-born class. L Therefore a new definition or rather an addition will have to be made. Might .. not the following be more suitable? A sponsor is one who looks after a high school classy one who supplies en- couragement at the right timeg one who gives advice wisely and conciselyg one who I. ' seems never to fail or to manifest discouragement. ' Cur sponsors, Mrs. Grace G. Hyatt and Miss Carrie Roberts, fully meet this - definfticn. Their advice and encouragement have been truly appreciated by the class - of 1926. l. g. UU UU UE11, 7 ' li- ll 'an ll IL sl, Il u '11 IDD -gg-

The two classes met with great friend- liness and good will, despite the late hostility of olympics day. Senior year brought back a privileged and condescending group. It was incon- venient to have the auditorium for home room, perhaps, but it was very grand. After a struggle the seniors succeeded in retaining their ancient right of attending all the assemblies, and incidentally gave a wholesome check to the bumptfous freshmen. Cn senior color day the members of the class appeared festooned with purple and gold, the class colors. In the assembly given in the morning, Sam Benbrook, the class president, led the procession of seniors across the stage. The twenty-sixers sang their class song, written by Eugene Robb to the tune of mln Old New York. Gertrude Sullivan gave an original dance, and Harriet Sutherland, Louis Holmes, and Sam Benbrook presented a one-act play, Bills. The class gave as its senior play, Icebound, by Owen Davis, which won the Pulitzer prize for 1922. George Schmidt took the part of Ben Jordan, the black sheep of the Jordan clan, and Genevieve Freeman that of Jane Crosby, who unobtru- sively makes Ben into a man again. The one hundred and fifty who were graduated in the winter class selected Sam Benbrook, who seems to have the president habit, for their leader. Dorothy Marshall and Edwin Snowden were the other officers chosen. Dr. John Andrew Holmes delivered the commencement address. Anne Eliza Torrance and Fielding Woods were the senior speakers. The survivors chose Ralph Buechner president for the last crowded semester. Cn joy night Helen Seymour and Hamilton Hatfield presented an act, A Pair of Lunaticsf' Olympics followed, with the junior-senior party banquet close behind. Suddenly it was graduation time, with Dr. VValter Aitken as speaker, and Lucile Hac and Archie lVIcMillen as class orators. 1 Y QUE UCI F1 g, it E, l is li l E, 5. ,1 l l ll fi i ll J. i gi V 1 l li iT 9? lf li n V i F fl U F - ' l, CID FQ DEH ll Il ll ,,,3i1 ijt 'il ll ,H WI 1513
