HQQQQQQQ QQQQQQQQQQ Class History As the excitement caused by the arrival of the Harmonica died away and the crowd ED that had gathered to see it, slowly disappeared, two city fed youths were left standing on the platform. After some deliberation each came to the conclusion that Qt they were going to the same place. Acquainting themselves they started down the dusty road which led, they knew not where, but as it was the only one they had no 5 other choice. After some trudging, they succeeded in arriving in front of Cushman Hall, and here they hesitated not knowing whether to go in or turn around and run. Qt However, they were relieved of this embarassment when a man opened the door and E9 welcomed them in. These lads were Jack Gardiner and Nlouse Bacon. These two boys with four others formed the nucelous of the class of 1929. By the end of two weeks these six boys had found their stride and were progressing with a steady pulliwhich most of them maintained throughout the school year. Al- Qr Q Q thou h this was the first time most of them had been to boarding school, it did not QE interfere with their taking an active part in the school activities. The vice-president Q and treasurer of the Debating Club was chosen from this class, and it was also repref EE sented on athletic teams. At the end of the year they disbanded assuring each other that Q next September would find them all gathered together again. Qt Q The next year only half of the class returned, but with the enrollment of Sidney E9 Carsley, Newton Carlson, john Flynn, Raymond Gray, Sibley Squire, Kibball Shaw, Q and Sydney Pendleton, this class was counterbalanced. From this group the school re- Q 4 ceived strong support as there were several lettermen. Athletics were not the only in- Qi terest of the newcomers. For every club and activity of the school contained members Q of this class. Of course, we can't all be perfect, but nevertheless our scholarship was Q far from mediocre. Q All through the summer of 1928, our little group eagerly counted the days that Q remained before they could return to school with the privilege of calling themselves seniors. Q QQ lt was not long, after the resumption of classes that Sydney Pendleton, Newton Carlson, and John Gardiner were elected to the student council. Things in general Q looked very Cpromising. The football team was the best that the new Academy had 1 produced an at Thanksgiving an extra holiday was granted for unusual scholarship. Q With the exception of the big dance, these are the fall terms outstanding features. Q Q Scarlet fever was the big event in the period following Christmas and while quaran- ' tined the seniors introduced inter-class contests. President Gardiner called the Debating Q5 Society together for several meetings and the basketball season, which was almost EE completed before the plague set in, is recorded as the most successful. Q In spring young men's thoughts turn to love but our seniors began to think of Q5 college. Everybody became studious, strange to say, but still the class was well rep- Q resented in outside activities. For example we might mention the orchestra, glee club, Q dramatic club and baseball team. Q15 But we almost forgot to mention the three additions to the class namely: Edward E9 Williams, Robert Beecher, and later a Humphrey Nolen. EQQQQQQ classes. We are proud of the fact that we are the first class to be organized with We sincerely hope that some of our suggestions will be followed by succeeding officers and that this year-book has been published. 0 lt is true that all of us have not taken the complete course at Monson but never- Q1 theless we will be proud to consider ourselves graduates.
