the innocent freshmen visited them two weeks later they were not allowed to trip the light fantastiel. The averages for the three years of the twenty students highest on the awful records were given out in chapel in the spring. Instead of the reg- ular junior ex which the faculty seemed to think had grown rusty, the junior ex-ers gave a lovely party at the home of Celia XYilliamson at Scott Lake. XYe enjoyed ourselves immensely even if it did rain unniercifully while we were out on the lake. FOURTH YEAR Once more and for the last time we assembled to elect elass officers. XYilliani Armstrong was made presidentg Donald Mcfialtey, vice-president, Lucille XYhitheld, secretary, Marian Stevens, treasurer, and Donald Yan Stone. auditor. They are quite an impressive collection, aren't they? XYe gave the freshmen a wonderful reception, October 3. The freshmen seemed to enjoy it. At any rate our 15 gallons of sweet cider disappeared rapidly. The class chose Donald Meliowan as editor of the Quiver and Maurice Moule as business manager. We surprised the school with a splendid senior hop which was a decided success. Our decorations will be remembered by all who participated in the gentle art of decorating the gym. In spite of our bad behavior, Mr. .lenner kindly allowed us the use of the gym and lunch room to entertain ourselves after our sleighride. XYe managed In have the only one of the year and shared it with the juniors. This year the public speaking classes gave XYhat llappened to jones, a remarkably humorous comedy. The cast was made up mostly of seniors who carried their parts very well. Mr, llailey was the star performer, but Mr. McGowan attracted considerable attention with his unique changes of ccstume. The play was a great success and the amount of student talent dis- played was remarkable. As the time for graduation approaches, we look back upon our high school careers with pride and happiness. Of course, if we had it to do over again we would undoubtedly all study more, but after all we feel that we have gained more than the mere book knowledge and marks. XYe have formed friendships which we hope will last through our lives, making them richer, fuller, and helping us to be better citizens.

Class History BY ALICE MCKINNON liditnrlv Note.-Thr following is not the history to be given at the Class Day Exercises, thi' Ialter xml lirrrduy liven rerittcu as the Quizfer goes to press. A T LAST the ambition of the years was attained! NVe were members of the Pontiac High School. At our first class meeting we elected XYilliam lluttolph, presidentg Alice Guetschow, vice-presidentg Marion Patterson, secretary, james Guillot, treasurer, and Esther VVaite, auditor. XX'e have never been able to discover just what an auditor is for on a class board, unless it is to give it a distinguished tone, but we have always had one, as it seems to be the unbroken custom. At the freshman reception we enjoyed ourselves immensely, although we must confess that we allowed the upper elassmen to do most of the dancing, and devoted our energies to the disposal of the excellent punch. The weather man disappointed us shamefully that winter as we planned a sleighride three times and each time were unlucky in our choice of date. The snow always managed to stay on until the day before and then disappear magically. I SECOND YEAR At the class meeting of September, 1916, we elected Mac Whitfield, presidentg Harold james, vice-president, Marian Stevens, treasurer, Gladys Teggerdine, secretary, and Clare llurke, auditor. Many of our members took part in the declamation contest, which was won by Miss Rhea Schlaack of llirmingham. Miss Schlaack is an excellent speaker, and represented P. H. S. in the sub-district, district, and finally in the state contest, where she took second honors, The title of Miss Schlaack's declamation was Lloyd George, and I believe we can all remember very distinctly her opening lines: The doo-r opened: and almost before I had cro-ross-ed the thress-s-ho-ld- etc., etc. Yes, we all remember, indeed, will we ever be able to forget? Again the false weather man betrayed us, and we were sleighrideless. ll'e think we were hoodooed some way or other, but find the Jonah. THIRD YEAR Hack again to l'. H, S.l Seemed sort of good, too. This year, after con- siderable deep thinking we invested the presidential office on Donald Janser Bailey. lYes, we've found out that the mysterious J stands for Janser+- cute and dignified, isn't it FJ Bud was so pleased with his nomination that in a burst of eloquence he addressed the session room in a regular inaugural speech. Grub Robertson was installed as vice-presidentg Doris Moreland, secretaryj Bill Armstrong, treasurer, and Anna Strode, auditor. Donald McGowan was elected editor of the Tomahawk, with Clare Burke as business manager. Other juniors on the staff were Maurice Moule, Harold james, XYinston Mather, Donald Mcfiaffey, Dorothy Han-son and David l'TK'Stflll. This year the Lynch medal in oratory was won by Donald McGowan, who had a very Fine oration. lie also won the sub-district contest. Many of us joined the Shakespeare Dramatic Club and were initiated into the mysteries of acting. Our class was also represented in A Scrap of l'aper, given by the public speaking department. Q Many of our boys became prominent in athletics, among them Buell Starr lwho comes by the name naturallyil, llill Armstrong and Ed. Logic. liill and lfrl, well, you know them! ii' .- ' At last! XYe were favored by the gods and were presented with a beau- tiful blizzard on the night set for our much-deferred sleighride. We faced the elements cheerfully and journeyed to Leitha Scott's home. We all had a lovely time and fsh-secret! XVe danced so much lint off the carpet that when 'o
