On Thursday, January 17th, we gave a dinner for the bene- fit of the Senior Class. This was to help them raise money for their Washington trip. We cleared sixteen dollars. Annamae Cox, our secretary was chosen as a delgate to the Y. W. C. A. Convention at Bay Shore on February 22-23. Before Easter vacation Miss Covert, our English teacher, was obliged to go to her home in Kew Gardens on account of sickness. The class sent her flowers. Another dinner was given in the main hall of M. H. S. on Thursday, May first, to raise money for the school magazine. Thirteen dollars was cleared. WHO KNOWS: Why Dorothy is interested in golf?
