Only precious memories and ie the symbolism of the ivy will bind us to our Alma Mater. ft) sas | Friends: As we, the class of 1929, gather here this afternoon, there 1s ik For four short years we have endeavored, both as a class and as indiv- iduals, to uphold and raise the standards of Manchester High School, not . only in its academic purpose but in its athletics, debating, dramatics and so- 4 cial functions. We can truthfully say that our football team was the best if that ever wore the colors of M. H. S., a team ;which won the central Con- necticut championship. Although we did not emerge as victors in all of our IG contests in basketball, baseball, and tennis, we attained the greatest honor fe) of all, that of good sportsmanship. Our track team has just concluded a if very successful season. The debating team has proven its worth, the dram- atic club has produced both fine actors and fine performances, and our liter- ary clubs have done fine work. “Somanhis Events” has been one of the fin- est of school papers. Truly, we can be proud of our class in its leadership | i ee.

All too soon must we take | leave of our school and each other, to start life anew; but wherever we are and whatever we do, may our memories bring‘ us back to our happy days to- gether. Let us always remember that we are but a few of the vast number of the alumni of M. H. S, who are working for its welfare. With the pres- entation of this trowel to the Junior class we now resign our position to them and accept for ourselves the larger responsibilities of life. William F.
