4% K issg m init m [O I IAXY things have transpired since those September days two short -ears ago when, bone-weary and muscle-tired, we first huddled together for consolation in Watsessing Park, that we mav justly proclaim, We have lived! Life will always be a struggle for supremacy and the Class of ' 29 would admit of no exception — consequenth , when the annual track and field da}-, which was to wind up the outdoor season, was ceremo.iio-isly ushered in, the Seniors found us armed to the teeth ' ' in preparation for the raging conflict for first place. Pride is ever due for a fall, however, and we got ours when we adjourned for the indoor session. The patient, sweet, smiling Seniors had arranged some neat little surprises foi us — we were duh (if humiliatingly) initiated! This, to- gether with plenty of hard work on the apparatus and tiring hours working on the skeleton soon reduced us to shadows of our former vivacious selves — but we were young and youth cannot remain sad for long, so we began to branch out. Our first act as a class was to elect officers and when the campaigning and balloting was over the consensus of opinion pointed to Daniel Heaney, President Esther Rawstrom, A ' ice-President ; Virginia Wolcott. Secretary; Louis Lepis, Treasurer (changed at mid-term for Louis Canarelli) and Miss Brown, Faculty Advisor. This able body guided us carefully over the social season when sorority and fraternity rushes were so prevalent. Then Christmas vacation came and was soon over. At this time the Suicide Club sprang up from nowhere. Lender the leader- ship of Joe Olgin and his supporting cast of officers, the Club began functioning, placing its members in all prominent activities of the sfhool. Some of our boys entered the Penn Relays and returned in glory — Oh! we were proud ! — but time was slipping by and soon May with examinations was upon us, closely followed by the great event — the Exhibition. Long had we waited the day to display to our parents and teachers that long (and oft times harassing) hours of training had not been in vain. Another day and the Seniors had marched out of our c ' rcle to the applause of the well-wishing Freshmen. The second year rolled around — how different the scene ! We were in pow- er and were already plotting against those innocent Freshmen. Seniors, now, we were old friends as well and our short spell of outdoor work at Watsessing form- ed the basis for the cementing of a great many friendships. When we went indoors, Vie organized once more with Daniel Heanev again at the helm, ably assisted by Dorothy Rappaport, ' ice-President ; Ethel Jones, Secretary; Louis Canerelli. Treasurer, and Miss Field as Faculty Advisor. W ' e initiated the Freshmen and did quite a noble job of it too, — but they were sports ! Christmas vacation, once more — examinations when we returned, and we were on our last lap, every head bent to gain the winning post — GRADL TION ! At last this great day has dawned and as we step out into the light of our new venture, leaving behind pleasant memories of happy da -s spent within the shelter of Our Family Circle. £1 (1 teen
