there was j?reat curiosity as to what each wc-uld receive. When all had Deen servea, Miss Dilks announced she held the wed- ding ring. The next lucky one was Martha Evens who had found an engagament ring. For Alan Souder there was a money bag indicative of riches to come to him. The aeroplane, sign of ahigh flyer alighted in Clementine Clendining ' s cake and Mrs. Schaible found in her ' s a rooster, symbol of vanity. Mr. Prone chose the piece con- taining an old shoe, always a sign of good luck. After the cabin aiid decks had been cleared there was an informal dance. Be- tween dances the cook, A. W. Souder sang several Scotch songs. In the meantime each membei of the crew and the land lubbers had placed their thumb prints in the log book and at eight bells we cast anchor and left the ship, declaring the voy- age had been a great success due to the hospitality of the owner of the Pie Rut Ship. The next social event was the Thanks- giving Dance sponsored by the Senior 2 s and the Junior B 2 ' s. For days preceding there was feverish excitement and a riol of color in the Industrial Arts room- At last the day of the dance a]i ived and the gymnasium was transformed into a bowe;- After the On February 4, the Music Department brought to the school, two artists, Hans Kindler, cellist and Robert Braun, pianist. A large and appreciative audience found the program all too short. On January 30, the class held the mid- year election with the following results: ' President A. W. Souder Vice Presiflriit Mazie Biggs Secrctarij E. Gertrude Kulp Treasure )■ E. Ruth Marsh At the next meeting held January 4, it was decided to organize a Literary So- ciety and to join with the Senior I ' s in giving a Sports ' Dance on Friday evening, January 25. March 14 was the end of the second term and as Senior I ' s were to go out for practice teaching we invited them to as- semble in the dining room so that we might confer upon them honorary degi ' ees and wish them success in theii ' new work. On Monday, March 17, we wei ' e tran.s- of beautiful flowers, the hollyhocks made by the class. The dance was a success in Cv ' ory way and we felt repaid for the eftor: expended on its arrangement. Meanwhile there were some Red Letter Days not only in our life but in the life of the student body. On November 16, the school was dedicated. The program for the afternoon was arianged by Dr. Savitz and included addresses by Hon. John Enright, Commissioner of Education, Dr. Edwin C. Broome, Superintendent of Philadelphia Schools and members of the Stat? Beard of Educaticn. At the close of the dedicatory service the school sang the Dedication Ode written by Ada P. Schaible. There followed on December 20, a Christmas celebration, in which the sing- ing of carols and the Christmas tree on the C ' :impus were the striking features. People from the neighboring towns came to join the chorus. The Venetian Trio not only accompanied the singing but rendered many delightful selections. The evergreen tree on the platform, the girls holding candles surrounding it, the melodies, both vocal and instrumental, produced an effect which made every one feel the spirit of Christmas. Holidays ferred from our orginal home room to Room where Miss Clark was in charge. April 10, each section in the school planted a tree on the campus, with appro- priate exercises. Ours was a Japanese walnut ti ' ee donated by Mr. Souder. The next day school closed for the spring vacation and for a time we forgot lesson plans and note books. On May 13 we planted the rose hedge on the campus one bush for each member of the faculty, each class and society, and one for every two students. Our history as the class of Senior 2 ' s closes with this year. In looking back over it we feel the deepest sense of grati- tude to Dr. Savitz and the members of the faculty for their efforts in making this year so profitable to us. As we go out in- to the field may we uphold the standards we have set within the fair walls of our Alma Mater. EDITH W. WTLLEY, Sr. 2. 20
