NEW HAVEN Hicn Scnooi. CLixss Boox 15 made a good beginning, for we, as a class, were well-represented in the Debating Societies, the N. H. H. S. A. A., in athletics, dramatics, and especially in the School Circle. Into the last- named organization our best Workers had been elected from time to time so that the Circle would start well in the fall. The last Hutter of excitement came in the way of elections to the Senior Shakespeare Club, and then, before we had time for much regretting or rejoicing the last day had come. For ns, the class of 1909, it was the last day of fa hard, but happy year, during which we had begun to realize, what we shall probably fully realize later, how much We really care for, and how attached We have become to dear old New Haven High.

' ' - NEW Hixviix llICll SCHOOL CL.xss Book 17 was elected by an overwhelming plurality, and Robertson, gover- nor of Connecticut. But our fathers elected Lilley governor. The various girl's societies now gave their animal teas, at which our class was well represented. About this time the class, in accordance with the custom established by 1908, voted to publish its own Class Book and, after a long and lengthy discussion, to give a Class Play In December the final class elections were held. As usual, 'there was great rivalry between Boardman and Hillhouse for the office of President. Boardman was again successful, mainly be- cause Hillhouse was unable to unite in support of its candidate. All the temporary officers were re-elected except two, one of whom declined and the other was ineligible. The 'Class of 1910 now became famous by its Dutch Fair. To say that it was a success is putting it mildly, indeed, for S250 was realized. We Seniors, went of course and helped to swell the proceeds. Basketball was now started, and a fine schedule of games was arranged. Under the able leadership of Captain Dustin, the team was remarkably successful and many games were won, both at home and about the state. And so with everything running smoothly we were dismissed for the Christmas vacation. January 4. 1909, we again came together ready for the most difficult term of the Senior year. The basketball team continued to add to its glory 'by many victories. On February 12. since it was the hundredth anniversary of Lincioln's birth, we assembled for exercises commemorative of the day. The program was an interesting one, consisting among other things of the 'lGettysburg Speech by Mr. Goldenberg, and an address on the 'fCharacter of Lincoln by Mr. Keane. On the evening of the twelfth, many attended the Theta Rho 'dance in XVarner Hall and had a good time. February 18 was a red-letter day for us Seniors, 'for on that day our class presented the play The Girll Left Behind Me. And they certainly did present it in Hne style. XVhatever our class may have done poorly, it has given a splendid Class Play.
