Leenhouts O-NIGHT, dear friends, is probably the last time that we as the class of 1923 may meet for a good time. Yes, we in- tend that these our Class Day exercises shall be just that informal. I know that you have expected that we, as graduates would speak wise things and in a serious manner, but, dear friends, please wait until Wednesday night, when we all promise to b-e in a more solemn mood and to carry thoughtful eac- pressions on our faces. As our program tonight proceeds, may we ask that you fit yourselves into our places, adapt your minds to our sentiments and enjoy with us our pranks Class Day might well be called prank day. Throughout all our school years we have been trained to obey all rules and regulations, to conduct ourselves correctly, to respect others' rights, and to esteem our authoritiesg but to-night we feel free from all this, we feel privileged to do things which have not been laid down for us by some teacher. The results, we fear, may seem startling to some of you, so we plead now that you understand that the nature of the occasion allows it. From time to time during our course, we have heard it said that the aim of modern education is self-expression on the part of 13

Ontario High School ON 'F'-f the student. Indeed, then, to-night we are going to give some demonstrations of self-expression that we hope will be at least interesting if not so particularly impressive. just ho-W these demonstrations will impress our teachers who have attempted to control to some degree our personal expressions, it is difficult to conjecture. We have in our ordinary course of school work con- stantly been mindful that we say the right thing and reach the correct conclusion, but on this occasion we desire to be free from this restraint and express ourselves in a more sportive mood. To night is the reflection of the lighter side, the joyous side of school life, and it is our hope that you will get as much real en- joyment out of attending these exercises as we shall derive from presenting them. 'Senior Class History By Violetta I. Finkle S VVE ARE now about to leave our dear old Ontario High School, you might be interested to know our class his- tory. When we entered high school, we considered ourselves a very bright and intelligent class of freshies. To prove this, we were allowed to organize in our first year. We elected Pearle Leenhouts, presidentg Smith Pratt, vice-presidentg Urlla Mc- Lymond, secretary, and Glenna Porrey, treasurer. For class colors we chose robin's egg blue and sand. VVe also considered ourselves a little above the other classes because we bought pins. We were proud of the fact because we were the first class to do this. As sophomores, eighteen of the former twenty-three members we're still in the class. That year we did not reorganize, but re- tained the officers of the previous year. At the end of our sopho- more year, we joined with the Freshmen in giving a picnic in honor of the Seniors at Pultneyville. In the fall of 1921, our class again elected officers. By a unanimous vote, Pearle was re-elected president, Cloise Swear- ingen, secretary, and Myrtle Allen, treasurer. Being dissatisfied with our colors, we chose, after some discussion, old rose and sil- ver, and the motto En Avant, -Forward. Our motto is French, thus being different from those of former classes. Early in the spring of our Junior year we purchased class rings. These were gold, bearing the raised letters O. H. S., and I923. In this way we had the pleasure of our rings during the .14 V
