Mr. Potter certainly is a sport all right, because When some dear brother announced the fact that the prize had been overlooked, Mr. Potter said We should not go unrevvarded, and presented each member of the class with a nice box of F. dz Ols best.

THE POTTER SHIELD milf' twill wi Senior Day Senior Dqy like everything else this past season, suffered from a severe attack ' ' t t ' ' d th t of flu and could not be made the interesting and en er aining ay a was lllf li! ned. Had ure been able to pull off the program proposed, we would ii p an D undoubtedly have achieved the greatest Senior Day success in the history of such days at school. The class had several closete sessions . , -- U 1 he finally urn-ed us to give up our ambitious plans, as it would take much more preparation than we could possibly give at that time. But we firmly resolved not to give up everything, and at the very last minute got together a series of events lasting from ten until almost noon. r At that time we filed in and took seats in the front of the room as per usual, and the business commenced with the awarding of letters to the members of this year's football team and last year's baseball team. However, before the letters were awarded, Mr. Potter called upon Mr. New- some to say a few words regarding the significance of such an award, and Mr. Newsome responded splendidly, making us more appreciative of such distinction. After the awarding of the letters Mr. Potter informed us of Mr. Goodwin's intention of leaving our faculty to accept a position as scout leader in Portland, Oregon. We were all sorry to know that he was to leave us, as he was much respected and admired at school, but we were glad to know that it was to his advantage. The members of his scout troop here at school had learned about his intention of leaving, and were prepared. They presented him with a beautiful silver loving cup, a token of their esteem. It was a complete surprise to Mr. Good- win, as could be easily seen by the way he acted. A speech was in order, but Mr. Goodwin was too overcome with gratitude to say more than that it was certainly appreciated. Next came our gift to the school. After many star-chamber meetings and much heated debate, we decided to present Mr. Potter and the school with a bronze plaque engraved with the names of our former students and masters who were then in the service. The plaque was also a complete surprise to Mr. Potter, and after accepting it from President D1b Summers he told us how he appreciated it and how appro- priate he considered it at that time. Then Mr. Potter had a surprise for us. He announced' the fact that our Old friend and present hero, Lieutenant Dido Humphries was to join the faculty after the Christmas holidays It certainly was a su ' ' ' d applause and enthusiasm. muse an was greeted by Wlld d ' with our adviser Mr Damon and Eddy was next wished a Merry Christmas by Dib whg presented our h-th - ' ' ' . muc Aft oulglht oiiteward with a nice, neat little envelope, which speaks for itself, 91' 15, T- Damon, compelled by necessit d to the school, in which he urged us to put forth our ffrermiiy eta Qmihiy HSS address and pm alike- H t . 1 , es euor s in a our work Y e cer am y said a t interest that our Senior master takesgiausmany line things, which goes to show the Mr. Potter then sprang another ' Class, however. some little time surprise, Which was limited to the Senior the Winning team was Offered b Nigopa Prize of a box of candy to each member of T Z y T' Otter In 3 game between the first and second we ve A. . 14,-Il W' v alll ,wg-9 Iliigiigf fkiQlsf'f'jF ' 1 .'
