A FRESHMAN GIRLS President, Eleanor Kelly Secretary, Catherine Meehan Vice President, Mary Merritt Treasurer, Helena Blauvelt Last September, we girls of the class of '26, entered N. H. S. with the desire to better the standing of the school. There- fore, we devoted our time to study and left the social activities to the management of our capable Upperclassmen-a deed which we now deem very wise, on our part, for all the social events of the year have been unusually successful. Not long after our arrival in high school, we chose class officers and from that time we conducted our affairs in a' busi- ness-like manner. Orange and Black were the colors chosen by the majority of the girls and we consider it quite a coinci- dence that the boys' choice was the same as our own. By this strange fortune, we probably avoided a disagreement, because a member of our class, whose brother is in the opposite division, firmly declares that had the boys known we decided upon Orange and Black, they'd have taken Red and Yellow, just to be contrary-as boys always are! This may be so, but let us give them the benefit of the doubt, because of their willingness to ac- cept our design and motto and to pay their share of the expense for our pretty banner. We will conclude our brief history with the wish that when we who have followed the Plow, in the Field of Learning, behold in the distant horizon the sinking Sun, we will have reaped the Benefits of our Efforts and, by our Success, will have reflected in rays of glory the faithful assistance and undying zeal of our enthusiastic Faculty.

The members of the staff have worked well together in editing the best of the schoo1's talent and it is well that the edi- tor herein express his gratitude to them for their Acooperation with him in his responsibility as such. Concerning the success from a pecuniary standpoint much depends upon the sale of the books. More money has been obtained from the adds this year than ever before, which is very encouraging. The book was held up some time by the occurrence of a sad mishap to the photographer but his work was finally finished by a competent student. -l,i..l1-l-- We have been talking for the past tvvo years or more of forming a central organization which could control all branches of extracurriculum activities in the school. Yet nothing has been accomplished to date, and unless some proverbial but al- ways, among-the-missing live wires, put in a timely appearance, we will continue to function under that one-legged organization known as the Athletic Association. What are its powers? What has it accomplished in the way of Centralizing the School Organ- izations? Its one leg is Athletics and a pretty shaky one at that-- iinancially speaking. Up to this time, the funds from all other minor organizations have gone to support the Athletic Associa- tion and yet, a debating team wishing to go on a trip, finds itself in the peculiar position of not being able to draw a cent for ex- penses froni any organization, Why not have a General Organization which collects and takes care of the funds from all the minor clubs and then dis- The Owl, Page 32 79 Q
