Zlinrnnnrh J' ITH seemingly incredible swiftness, that memorable hour approaches when we the Senior Class, 1920, of the New Britain High School,shall lay aside our books and thereby complete the initial act of the drama of lifehour school days. Here upon the threshold of a new beginning, we pause to review the events which mark our closing year in High School-the activities which represent our efforts to establish a name for our beloved school, that will never die. To make known all that we would like to remember would be quite impossible. Let this humble volume, therefore, incomplete though it may be, suHice in after years to stir fond mem- ories in the hearts of all who worked and fought that the Class of 1920 might establish an unparalleled record in the annals of the School. We wish, at this opportune time, to express our sincere appreciation for the assistance rendered the Board of Publication by others than those actually members. Had it not been for the aid so cheerfully given by Mr. Slade, the hours of patient service offered by Miss Powers and other members of the faculty this book would never have been published. We wish also to thank all those who have contributed to its publication, and to acknowledge our indebted- ness to them. We express meanwhile our hopes that we have fulfilled our trust as the class would have us, and without further ado we offer the seventh edition of the Beehive, that of 1920. 6
