during the Sophomore year to last two years or more. The crowning event of the year was the Junior-Senior reception embellished by scenes from Shakespeare which emphasized the progress the world has made since the days of the author. Among those who won fame or notoriety in an evening were Edward Wilson as Shylock supported by M rs Ina Rew as Portia; and Mr. John Meyer as Rom o supported by an excellent pair of Boston garters. Sevier cosmia disturbances were reported next d.y from Stratford on Avon. Incidentally refreshm )Uto were served and dancing was thought of (?) there was no dancing. Owing to the Influenza athletics were discontinued during the Junior year. In the Senior year our class furnished four players each to the two basket ball teams, and four men to the foot ball team. A certain amount of studying was done during our final year, the faculty seeming to expect it of us and our dispositions being amiable, earnest, and willing to please. As evidence of the sincerity and steadfastness of purpose that has ever characterized our class, the historians of the faithful twenty-seven who remain emphasized the fact that of all those who have been lost to us during the changes and vissitudes of four eventful years, not one has forsaken the hard struggles of school days for the lure of matrimony. This is absolutely unique in the annals of the Metropolis High School and we pride ourselves on the fact, only after our careers as educators in South America and Egypt are completed will we be able to find time for such distractions.

CLASS HISTORY. Once upon a time, it seems ages and ages ago. although the calendar tells us that it has been only four short years, there were seventy-eight of us. Just one more Freshman class to Mrs. Cutting who has seen so many come and go—just another bunch of ordinary children, giving no hint of the possibilities latent within them, and not particularly distinguished for high grades except in deportment. Now, as we are leaving we flatter ourselves that the grades of the classes r.s a whole compare most favorably with those of any of the classes that have preceded us from the portals of old M. H. S. And it is very fitting that our class flower should be the violet, modest, sweet and shy. As for the deportment of the class, but let us pass to more pleasant things for in the beautiful words of the poet, “The memory lingers. This, as far as we have been able to discover by searching the annals of the High School even back to the days of Pete GrofT and Harry Steers, is absolutely the only leap year clars that has ever decorated our assembly rooms, starting and finishing its career during this fateful year. The social activities of the class really began during the Sophomore year. Freshmen of course, being allowed only to admire and envy in a most re- spectful way the brains, beauty and opportunities of the upper classes. The social debut of the Freshmen class came at the annual search party, when the young ladles successfully concealed in Lafont’s hen house caused acute financial distress among the masculine members of the class even though those were the days of flve-cent coca-colas. Even the triumphs of our later years cannot dull the thrill of that evening when we first had dates, sanctioned by our parents and teachers. The Sophomore year was given over entirely to study, we feeling that one year in four was none too much to waste in books. The Halloween party was the greatest social event of the year being distinguished chiefly by elaborate costumes of the masquerade and the hard cider which was inadvertently served and was most popular among the faculty. We have received numerous inquiries as to whether this illuminating beverage will be served at our final banquet. After two glasses of this cider. Professor Schrader complimented our class by saying it was the largest class he had ever seen, in fact, that it looked two or three times as large as at the beginning of the evening. The Junior year was devoted more to social and dramatic activities, as enough studying was done
