THE MIRROR OUR SCHOOL YEAR As we look back over the school year, 1931-1932, we, the Freshmen Class, believe that this has been our most enjoyable year. We therefore write the foi- ling summary: September 21 — Blue Monday, and the first day at school. We all went to school with a frown, but enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, meeting new classmates, and greeting old ones. Soon, after the first few days, football started off, and it looked like a successful season. The Ninth grade was divided into two teams, chiefly the Middles and Heavies. The Heavies had two teams which were coached by Mr. Lund and Mr. Taylor. The Middles were coached by our dear friend and room-teacher, Mr. Millett. The girl ' s hockey team also enjoyed a good season, winning quite a few matches. Toward the end of the season the Eighth grade challenged us, only to lose after a good fight, 13-0. Thanksgiving brought us our first exams, and many a person worked during vacation. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas we were bus} ' in the Toy Shop and practicing baseball. The Christmas vacation was a great relief after the terrific mental strain we had been under during the first quarter. We certainly needed a rest. January brought us back to school and we started the basketball season. Some of us were on the Varsity Lightweights, and others on the Minor teams. W T e had some games with Skokie, but these were not very successful. Basketball was cut short by the opera and our play, As You Like It . We felt sure that this play was enjoyed by everybody, including ourselves. After the play we enjoyed a week of vacation, which passed all to quickly. The Spring vacation ended and we were back at school to take track, base- ball, and tennis. Our next important project was the Freshman Dance which brought the year to a close in a blaze of glory. We all bid you good luck on your vacation and we hope to see you next fall. (Signed) The Class of ' 36 Twenty-eight 19 3 2

THE MIRROR The Middle School We are never able to withstand the forward march of progress, and the advent of the year IQJI-IQJ2 found a further development in our ever-changing campus. The Seventh and Eighth grades were transferred to Leicester Hall, forming a Middle School with its own Facultv and Student Government. As the year has progressed their organization has steadily improved, and advanced towards further cooperation with the High School and the Lower School, ever growing toward a more perfect unity at North Shore.
