ber reserving ethics books, days when the B. M. T. ceased functioning and half the class arrived late, the Health Class which Mrs. Sproul forgot to attend (a matter of little importance, since she was merely our teacher), the day in November when we were anxiously awaiting our class keys, and jovial Mr. Fries presented us with a box contain- ing one door key, arriving at classes late because of the difference in clocks in prac- tically every room, student-faculty games when we were victorious in basketball but bowed in defeat on the baseball diamond . Of course you do. All these and the countless thousands of little personal memories that have a special significance to each one of us have firmly planted Packer in our minds and hearts. The most important year in every high school student ' s career is usually her senior year. Our last and busiest year at Packer has been especially wonderful because Mrs. Clingan has helped make it so. We shall always be thankful for her good advice, under- standing, and friendship. The A. A. Dinner is symbolic of the end of another year at Packer. It is a gay affair, and the evening always starts out on a lively note with many songs. None of us will ever forget Miss Wright ' s inimitable rendition of Bill. As the evening goes on the cups on the table keep mounting, and our tension and sentimentality mount with them ! By the time the President of the A. A. makes her welcoming speech to the incoming officers and we start to sing Auld Lang Syne, our handkerchiefs are in need of a good wringing. To many of us who will not be back next year and to those who remain, this dinner marks the end of four of the best years we have ever spent or ever will spend. It combines the spirit and tradition that have attached us to Packer as firmly as the ivy that clings to her walls. 51
