Miss Hume took charge of our room in such a capable manner that no mischief or mishaps occurred. Nothing exciting happened, except some violent “crushes,” which wound up in matrimony the following vacation. The following year the Class was again preceptibly smaller. The whole year was overshadowed by the worry caused from the expectation of the Junior Recep- tion, which was to occur in the Spring. However, the “function” was disposed of safely, after a few violent class scraps and some tears of the feminine members. One incident which happened will remain in the minds of the high school students for many years. School was closed the week before final examinations, because of a scarlet fever scare, and thus all escaped that ordeal, and by the next week, all the cases were so disposed of that the social events of the “last week” occurred as usual, barring Baccalaureate. We are especially proud because of the fact that ours is the first class for several years to have every member pass and graduate. The Senior Class this year is under- taking the task of editing an Annual, which we hope will be a success. This is the first time the Rensselaer High School has attempted a publication of any sort, and every student is working for it. The last of the four years has gone faster than any of the preceding. On February 14th, the Seniors gave a reception to the Juniors at the home of Martha Long. Every one seemed to enjoy himself, and nothing suffered but the furniture. Our Class contributed three members to the foot ball team, and several members to the Girl’s Glee Club and High School Chorus. It is now with a great deal of pleasure mixed with a little regret that we look forward to the festivities of the graduation week.
