CLASS HISTORY r lt is said that the poet is born-and the orator is made , but just how the historian springs into existence no one as yet has been able to explain. Of all writers he per- haps is the most unfortunate, because he must never wander beyond the boundaries of the parched fields of fact, and yet the mission of the historian is very necessary, for by dealing with the past illumined by a few living truths of the present he does, in a measure at least, mould the future. So for the good of Mamaroneck High School we deem it necessary that some modest state- ment be made about the Class of 1923 that may be placed on record. In September, 1919. about sixty eager boys and girls entered Mamaroneck High School to avail themselves of its splendid advantages. Though many left our ranks to enter into business or for other reasons, yet we boast of being the largest class that the school has ever graduated, having thirty sev-en members. To be sure, it was neces- sary to draft some of 'our members from far off California and sunny Alabama, as well as from the towns! and cities in our own county. 9 f Full of anticipation and ambition, we assembled and gradually became acquainted with th-e school, its rules, regulations, and general environment. Timid and humble were we ,at first in our new surroundings, but we soon acquired the presumption and selfconfidenc-e so characteristic of us today Qso the teachers thinkj 3 but who shall say that this presumption and confidence has not always aided us? For wehave usually made good in examinations and in general school projects. Previous to our senior year we were too modest 'to promote class activities, yet we always joined with en- thusiasm in those of the rest of the school -...,,,,,,...-....,.,,.-f 'ir

----Q. sm..-If ,1- K THE SPY -musical, social, athletic and forensic. In our junior year we formed a class organization. In that ,ear both the. boys and the girls carried off the honors in the interclass track meet, also the boys of the baseball team fwhich was composed almost entirely of Junior boysj won the cup 'of the League. During our Senior year we have gradu- ally become unified in spirit, and today' our motto, Not for ourselves alone , signi- fies the true benevolence and charity of the class. Our class record has not been one of continued triumphs and ovations, nor has our path always been strewn with roses, for these reasons many thought, in spite of everything should have been our Class motto. However, we can say that we have k-ept aloof from all petty annoyances, scold- ings and warnings of teachers, and from bickerings with other classes, To initiate ourselves into the social life of M. H, S. we gave a dance in December which was both a social and financial suc- cess. We had planned one for March, but this was cancelled, and we are planning to give a Commencement Dance before we leave the portals of M. I-I. S. The Service League, which was organ- ized at the beginning of the year to keep the high school machinery working smoothly, was naturally made up almost entirely of Seniors. And by way of explaining our worthy afl11fm'011zC1zt5, we must modestly confess that without our rzatzzral resources we could not have accomplished much. For, fortu- nate is the class, especially in these times, that can boast a Brewer and a Cordialg Well fed the class that has two Millers: well attended the class who has its own Stewart, well appareled the class that has its own tailor QTaylorlg well ordered the class that has its own Bell, rich indeed the class that has its, Goldman, well eased the class that has its Downey, and lent color by its Brown, serious through its Ernst, alert through its Wakeman, law abiding through its Marshall, may it reach the lofty summits of its ambition that the name of Cone sug- gests! In parting-to the teachers who aided us in making the Class of 1923 the best ever, to Mr. Shafer, our former principal who laid so ably the foundations on which we have built our class record, to Mr. Gordy, who has propagated this work, to the other members of the high school to whom we trust the memory of our Class will be an inspiration, we bid a fond farewell and thank them. EMMA CONNOR. Soliloquy of a Senior when asked by the teacher to give example of hgures of speech: , Oh, ye gods! VVhere in the world are we? To what end have the fallacies of men arisen? Here I am, a poor innocent student at the mercy of these tyrannical teachers! Rebuffed on one hand, mocked at on the other, found fault with, criticized and unhumanly plagued! Uh, that my wish be fulfilled, and june bring me forth from this institution and the furies en- closed! , JUST A FLAPPER. Flappers make me tired- To have started such a fuss! Such almightly perturbation l- It's enough t-o make one cuss. VVhat if their hats are tilted So you cannot see one eye? Suppose they leave galoshes wide? Should anyone reason why? Their devoted scarfs and stockings loud Attract so much attention, Their earrings long and dancing Cause plenty of discussion, The newspapers are full of them, A nd if all the tales are true, Do you imagine that I give a rap? I fall for them hard-don't you?
