30 THE BEACON Officers were elected for the Senior year. Then began the afternoon sessions with plans to make final preparations for the grand commencement exercises. Many things were cleared up and the many functions of our pro- gram were distributed among different groups of the class. The different departments of the commencement issue of the Beacon were put in charge of various ones. In all our school affairs the famed class of 1923 has been most active. We have participated in Athletics and in the Literary activities. Our class has given football and baseball material to the success of the school. The Literary activities of the school claim an orator of deserving merit from our -ranks. The Beacon claims members on the staff who are unexcelled in their capacities. A number of our artists of dramatic quality have displayed their talents in the annual dramas which have been presented to the public The orchestra lays a claim to one of the most talented violinists in the school. In every phase of school life our class has contributed greatly ti its success. So, while our object has been to graduate and receive the most coveted parchment, we would betray the best that is in us if we were to overlook the spirit of friendship which we have developed unconsciously day by bay. We regret that we will no longer enter these famed halls of learning as students. As we go out in life and play our parts in whatever scope for which We are fitted, our thoughts will never grow dim as we recall the days we spent beneath its folds, and the many lessons we learned from our books, our daily observa- tion ,and our close relationship with a most capable faculty and competent principal. May Providence direct the students who enter these halls of learn- ing after us, in the same paths through which she has directed us for the past four years of life spent in the Newport News High School.
