I-HSTQDIRY 4IDlIF UMASS SIDIIF lllillfllfb fContinuedJ Spurred by the success of the Masked Ball, we sponsor another- a JfHop Valentine Dance. Great preparation and care is given to make this even better than the Masked Ball. With the advent of our class play, Uh, Professorln, casting Jane Weber, Russell Lecklider, Harriet Heath, Jud Gaylord, Virginia Hawkins, Charlotte Clark, Yvette Falardeau, and others, we prove we have gained talent and poise during our ascension. In the early part of May 1935, we say farewell to the graduating class of that year, at the annual JuniorfSenior banquet. They have reached the goal that we are striving diligently for. After a much welcomed vacation we continue our journey to the summit. Those who had lagged along the way, decide to catch up. As Senior class president, we choose Irva Jane Sampsong as vice president, Eddie Schnetzlerg as secretary, Virginia Eikostg and as treasurer, William Caselton. We later present a novelty dance-a Jinx Jamboree, on Friday the 13th. It was a big success. The last few weeks of our climb are devoted to taking part in our yearly Senior play, given on May 1, and acting as guests at the Junior' Senior banquet. We have at last arrived at the peak-Commencement-the goal of our high school career. We celebrate our success with you, our parents and friends, on this occasion. Some glad, some sad, and yet we feel that our efforts have not been in vain. The goal we have reached tonight is only one of many that we must meet later in life, and I feel sure each and everyone of us will strive as diligently for these future goals as we have for our goal tonight. -GENEVA BODE.

ll'llllSlWDlIQY GIDIIF 'ICIILASS 4lDlF lllQllH51I5 Let us imagine we are about to ascend a long flight of stairs. We begin at the bottom step in September, 1932. We are Freshmen, ready to begin a new phase of life in different surroundings. Some go forward boldly, others prefer to stay behind, out of the limelight. After the first few steps we hold a class meetingg we elect Howard Tassell, president, Ruth jane Rahilly, vice president, and Virginia Eikost, secretaryftreasurer. We proceed upward again and are initiated by the Sophomores. About this time we form a Science Club, one of the first extrafcurricula activities since our admittance to the high school. Those who had started with an even, regular pace at the beginning, are now finding the journey comparatively easy. We have now reached the second division of our upward grade, we are Sophomores. We eagerly elect class officers and we give Harriet Heath the class presidency, Dalton Buckley, the vice presidencyg and Charlotte Clark, the position of secretaryftreasurer. During this year, we are more absorbed in getting our studies for the rest of the journey to the top. Still keeping our even pace we .enter the third division-our junior year. We are more determined than ever to make the grade. We are further inspired -by the revelation that we are upperclassmen. As class leaders, we choose Russell Lecklider as president, Junior Schultz as vice president and Alice Mary Eaton as secretaryftreasurer. They were very capable of the privilege we bestowed on them. New activities and courses are opened to us. Cur travel upward becomes not only one of gaining knowledge, but also one of social affairs. The first social affair of our junior class is a Masked Ball. Everyone is to appear as a symbol of something or other. It is an affair that will be forgotten by few.
