Clagfif llistorp IXETEEN TWEXTY-TWO ! How quickly the time has gone bv, and we are actually seniors ! Yes, and we have a history, tcio. Of course, we have originality, bnt after all we are not so different from other classes. Just about the same trials and tribulations, joys and pleasures have come to our predecessors, but thev have never been ours before, and that is just the reason why we must record some of them here in this small space. lust before mid-term exams in 1921 our class was organ- ized. It was on one Saturday morning. Miss Higgins came in and gave us an in- spiring talk, and then we chose our class patron. Miss Nancy McFarland, and elected our officers. Mary Benham Mitchell was chosen President with Margaret Van Devanter Vice-President, Hardenia •se, Secretary, and Lois Jennings. Treasurer, but, much to our sorrow, Hardenia and Lois deserted us this year. We have now, however, Margaret Builder and Maitland Thompson in their places. When we left the room that morning, we felt as if Mary Baldwin Seminary be- longed solely to the Junior Class, but since then we have become seniors, and wise enough to know that it didn ' t. Mary Benham Mitchell, who lives in Staunton, is our only literary graduate this year, and as for golden reports — she is familiar with no other kind. ' hat a list of expression graduates we have ! There ' s Maitland Thompson from Xorth Carolina, Margaret Builder of Alabama, Evelyn Marion from Kentucky, and two daughters of Old Virginia, Martha Boxley from Orange, and Constance Curry of Staunton. In piano and art we also have a good representation. Carmen Cerecedo, from Spain, graduates in art, and Elizabeth Bivins is doing a very extra- ordinary thing in getting two diplomas, one in art and the other in piano. The rest, who are all piano graduates, are Thelma Kerr from near Staunton, Gertrude Stickley of Strasburg, Va., Catherine Cadmus from Xew Jersey, and Margaret Van Devanter of Staunton. Our social life as a class has been quite delightful. Soon after we were organized, Mary Benham Mitchell gave us a lovely Valentine party at her home. Before long Miss McFarland, who has been our firm friend and constant helper, entertained us at Miss Trout ' s, and the memory of that evening will long be with us. Then came the Junior-Senior party when we decked the Girls ' Parlor in gala attire and were hostesses to the Class of ' 21. Hut oh, how important we did feel when commencement rolled around and we were invited to the Alumnae Banquet ! That event, if you will pardon a bit of school-girl vernacular, was just too won- derful for words, as we sat at a table all our own and listened to the reminiscences from the classes gone before us.
