ME KMEION! Ey IPCION! Class Prophecy By DOROTHY E. MILLER and MORRIS VEXLER ’T was long ago since last I heard Of all my classmates true And I’d have given the world to hear Even a word or two. I can remember when we parted In nineteen twenty-four Each one was choosing then his path, Seeking fortune’s store. I knew that they would do their task And surely wouldn’t shirk But still I was so anxious to know Their different lines of work. At last I had a bright idea A station far away— Although it was a hard one to get I thought I’d try anyway. So I hastened to the radio My heart just filled with zeal If only I could get that station . It would their lives reveal. Whoo eek ee 00a wheek Static was all I could hear Oh! our long sought station at last And our prophecy was here. ‘“‘About a certain group’’, he said “T have been asked before So now station L-I-F-E broadcasts The doings of ’24”’. FLORENCE WILKINSON In a little house they live, Surrounded by fairies and elves - Florence and hubby are just as happy As Cupid and Psyche themselves. 7 INC 13 Ko SE

Sea Isp ) | Class History By VERNA WHITE The graduating class of June 1924, entered the New Bedford High School in September 1920. They were brought together from the various elementary schools of New Bedford for the worthy purpose of preparing themselves for further education or business. As Freshmen they were cordially welcomed by the Senior Class. Miss Katherine MacDonald, the president of the Freshman Class, was a symbol of that new life brought into the school by the incoming students. The two ensuing years under the presidencies of Raymond Oothout and Abel Valenti were uneventful as far as class activities. Each member was laboriously working for himself and for the honor of the school. Every one was looking forward to the time when he would be a respected Senior. In September 1923 began that short but long-to-be-remembered year. The class officers elected for the year were as follows: Raymond Oothout, President, Gordon Carew, Vice-President, Miss Laura Soule, Secretary and Norman Estes, Treasurer. This class in its turn welcomed the incoming Freshman Class of September 1923. The reception with entertainment furnished by the talent of its own members took place on December 9th. Not only has the class as a whole made itself a credit to the school but many members have distinguished themselves with their talent and various gifts. The organizations of the school lose some very gifted members with the graduating of this class. Among these are Miss Ida Taylor, concert- mistress of the orchestra, Joseph Jazowski, concert-master of the band and Miss Dorothy Miller, Miss Katherine MacDonald, Miss Betty Murphy and other accomplished artists of the Dramatic Club. Warren Robinson will be missed not only for his remarkable acting ability but also for his work in the musical organizations of the school. From the athletic field go some of the champion players: Abel Valenti, Raymond Oothout, Winston Dodge, Gordon Carew, Victor Ladetto and Lawrence Knox. No men ever fought harder and cleaner for their school than these. Inet INDICR4! The class, also, stands high in scholarship as all the honor pupils; Miss Annie Cohen, Valedictorian, Miss Florence Wilkinson, Salutatorian and John Kenney and Joseph Jazowski, holding third and fourth places respectively, all have very high standing in close contest. Other members of the class have commendable records. As this class leaves its Alma Mater it takes with it all it has put into the studies and the various organizations. Never will it forget the happy, carefree years spent together with their classmates and teachers. toe al eo S C95 IAD, $$ $$ $$$ $n oa 12
