Class History of 1929 Five years ago the members of the graduating class of '29 entered Nottingham. Although we entered as students in the last year of grammar school and not as freshmen, a new era in our school life began. The system by which we could become better acquainted with more varied sub- jects was introduced to us. It might almost be said that our high school careers then began, for there was no formal graduation from the grade school section-merely a continuation to what is recognized as high school. Our first two years of high school sped by quickly, and then, as juniors, we began to realize that we should soon be leaving Nottingham. Graduation made a deep impression on us that year, for we knew that the following year we ourselves should be on the platform receiving our diplomas. Seniors-at last! The task of maintaining the prestige of the graduating class before us and of adding to that prestige, faced us. We had gone through Nottingham as an unorganized class, but now, as Seniors, we found it necessary to unite in order to accomplish the various tasks confronting us. Our first meeting was held at the beginning of the school year for the purpose of electing odi- cers and of choosing faculty advisors. The good judgment of the class was shown in its selection. Ormand Gale was elected president, Elizabeth blarsh, vice-presidentg lklary Margaret O'Toole, secretary, and to Winford Oliphant fell the posi- tion of treasurer. Mr. Smigelsky and Miss Huckans, to whom we are greatly indebted for the help and counsel they have given us, were se- lected as our faculty advisors. Immediately after this selction of leaders and advisors, the class, an organized group, settled down to the work of making possible those things which form a part of the schedule of every senior class at Nottingham. Among the first acts of our president was the selection of the editor-in-chief of the Year Book, and the appointment of a com- mittee to the class various combinations of pins and rings, from which our own were chosen. The American beauty rose was selected as the Class Flower, and silver and rose were chosen as the colors to represent us. The Latin words, Possum guid posse videntur fThey can who think they canj were decided upon as the Class Motto. The social end of our Senior life took shape in the form of the annual Senior Dance and the an- nual Senior Banquet, both under the direction of Jane Cady. T-he dance, held in our gymnasium, was planned by a committee under Charles Ful- ler, and the banquet, held at Schrafft's, was ar- ranged by a committee under Justina Gould. Last of all is the goal of our four years of striving-graduation. This need not mean the ending of all pleasant relations formed at Not- tingham, for we shall always recall the years spent there. We must all move forward, and this is but another step on the stairway of educa- tion.

WILLIAM SNYDER Vrzledicforian VVe are very proud of William Snyder, our Valedictorian, who has worked hard through his entire four years of High School to obtain this honor. Not only has he been outstanding in a scholastic line, but he has also been able to make a name for himself in athletics. However, he seems to spend most of his time, before and after school, down in the shops or in Mr. Condon's laboratory. He is greatly interested in all things pertaining to electricity and we will probably hear more of him later concerning this work. Bill has also been circulation manager of the Citizen,' and business manager of the ReHecs tor. He expects to enter the college of Liberal Arts at Syracuse University in the fall. We cer- tainly hope he will succeed on the hill as he has here at Nottingham. in ELEANOR LATH ERS Salutatorian The second highest honors of the class of 1929 go to Eleanor Lathers. She has also worked in activities outside of her regular school work. Per- haps the most noted of these is the important part she played in last year's Spring Festival play So This is London. She seems to be gifted in dra- matic ability and will, perhaps, take up that line of work in later years. Dutchie'l has also been a member of the Glee Club and Debate Club. VVe predict that Eleanor will make a great name for herself in her chosen course of Pre-Law at Syracuse University. The 501101455 Society lt is indeed an honor to belong to the Notting- ham Scholastic Society, for it represents four years of successful striving to maintain an aver- age of eighty-three per cent or above in all work. This honorary society, which was organized in 1927, is open only to seniors. After graduation the members are looked upon as the honor stu- dents of Nottingham. The membership this year is somewhat smaller than of previous years, but it is exepcted that several more will be admitted E111 to the society upon completing their regents in June. lllr. Coon is the faculty advisor of the Scholastic Society. The members this year are: William Snyder, Eleanor Lathers, Dorothy Bas- table, Marvin Brown, Rhoda Cahill, Irving Earle, Paul Kelleter, Robert Knapp, Robert Koretz, Elizabeth lllarsh, Winford Oliphant, Dean Rutledge, William Scott, Suzanne Towne and Lorna Wolter.
