officers CLASS OF NINKTFEX TWENTY-NINE Constance La Monte Andrew Flagg Lucy Doane I ' ice-PresiJent President Secretary POX reflection it seems impossible that tile rangy green weeds of our freshman days have in most cases become more cultivated plants. Freshmen have changed since our day — four long years ago! They are no longer humble as we were, trembling at Sophomores, confiding in Juniors and admiring Seniors. However we have ever been a revolutionary class. In Sophomore year arrayed in autumn shades we did our best to make miserable the lives of the incoming freshmen, to such an extent that the following year hazing was strictly a supervised affair. WE put on the prettiest costume dance of the school career and turned our old assembly hall into a Greenwich hllage with much wrapping paper and poster paint. We learned much of design and how many books on the history of furniture are not in the library when wanted. Mr. Jameson took the annual “Holy Pilgrimage”, and a good time was had by all. Junior year we blossomed out like Gershnin’s Rhapsody in Blue, tho’ it far from expressed our jovial tho’ dignified frame of mind. We began to actually draw figures with anatomy paramount and look for the pieces in the head painting. Helen Miles and staff put over a new kind of year book assisted by Mr. Alcott and Mr. O’Donnell, who kept our staff meetings from being uninteresting. This new departure in style we dedicated to Mr. Porter, much to that modest man’s surprise. Our Junior prom at the Somerset was the gala affair of the year beside a costume party for the benefit of the tear book, which was the last dance given in school. Poor Seniors, black is a ditting color to reflect the sudden responsibility toward cramming all into one last year that which should have been divided into four equally. We again become radival by electing a girl as president of the student association, and have proved ourselves right in so doing. Because we have had a most successful year with “Marj” to lead us. Of course our fingers are in all the pies, from the X. Y. crowd in assembly, to the year book and murals. Rachel is honored as being the only girl this year to paint one along with Lincoln, Arthur, Eddie and Ralph. For our final fling at being different we are all going to graduate in caps and gowns instead of smocks. To be poetical — “The song is ended, but the melody lingers on”. We wonder how long after we are gone will our d mimic presence linger. .MARGARET F. FLEXXER, Historian. ’23 19

Formerly head designer with Bigelow, Kennard Co. silversmiths. Textile designer with Puritan Mills of Boston. Instructor in School of Fine Arts, Washington University and Supervisor of Art in high schools, Bos- ton. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are dear to us because of the associa- tion of Mr. Frank, food, rain, and the jolly air that not too subtle undertone gives the studio. A complete understanding of the subject in hand, or rather “on lap ’ and a more complete understanding of the failings of human nature devote us to “Frankie” (sssh, that’s behind his back.) MISS WOLLAHAN M. S. A. surelv welcomes Miss Wol- lahan as an addition to our executive force. Always ready to help us, al- ways ready with laughter, she grati- fies our every need. 18
