Yfie Tear Roof 1934 Qlnmmertial Qlilass Ziaisturp We sometimes derive as much pleasure from thinking and talking over our doings in the past as we do from planning for the future. Everything we have done at S. T. C. has brought us closer together, has given us a better understanding of each other and has made our school life a thing never to be forgotten. How amusing we must have appeared to the confident, men-of-the-world upper- classmen-forty-five timid, bewildered, lonesome little Freshmen. But it didn't take long before each one of us had forty-four good friends and one or two especially close ones. Then we began burning the candle at both ends. From high school seniors who had carried away the honor marks with little or no work, we had become Freshmen again-Freshmen who found that it took all they had to produce the minimum in quality and quantity. But the best work must be mixed with a little play. One day we were all quite excited to find beautiful maple leaves with an invitation to a Freshman Reception given by the Commercial Seniors pinned on the back. Miss Flanders had a diflicult time trying to keep our minds on geography that period! lt might have been a kinder- garten party with the girls in short little dresses with sashes, socks and hair ribbons and the boys in short pants. lt was a glorious party, the cider tasting like nectar and the apples like ambrosia. Then our typewriting class picnic at Forest River with Miss Badger. The winning team ate heartily of the lunch provided by the losers, and after the lunch Miss Badger very thoughtfully produced some tonic as a surprise. Some of the students found it hard to drink through a nipple. We had often heard of Miss Flanders' hobby--collecting odd pieces, but had hardly dreamed of seeing them. Were we thrilled at her invitation to an afternoon party at her home in Swampscottl xi strawberry party with strawberry ice cream, dainty cakes with strawberry frosting and other tasty delicacies. We forgot lessons while playing games and listening to Miss Flanders' interesting stories, told in her own amusing way. Our dramatic ability was displayed to the school through a Parade of Profes- sions at a morning assembly. We hope everyone appreciated the results of many hours of planning, rehearsing and trying to find a time for rehearsals when everyone was free. All those trips to Boston, week-ends and camping parties are too numerous to talk aboui but not to be remembered. Our Harbor Trip on a cold, windy, clear day was perhaps the most novel of our experiences. Those of us who braved the fish re- frigeration plant will surely never forget it nor forget to keep away from it. The only ihing thai boi hered us was the fact that we didn't have eyes on all sides of our heads to see everything around ns. After our long day on the boat, we thoroughly enjoyed a happy night in the big city, a place we never tired of. 24

1934 S. 7f C. Corinne Gately as our representative took very good care of our business in the council during this, our first, and perhaps most eventful year in college. Bea Edmond- son was elected council representative for our sophomore year ethe busiest year of our four. Our month's leave to work as clerks came at the end of a hectic period of geog- raphy notebooks, typewriting projects, arithmetic notebooks and Gillespie outlines. Most of us came back glad that we did not have to stand behind a counter for the rest of our lives. We ended the year with a luncheon party in the lunchroom with Miss Edwards and Mr. Sproul as guests. Somebody overrated our appetitesg we could have fed the school with what was left after we had all eaten to capacity Those wonderful spare periods of ourjunior year! At last we had time for outside activities. Many members of our class joined the Girl Scout Club and helped make its convention at Cedar Hill a success. Our own E. Oliver was President. Many other members belonged to the International Relations Club of which Helen Sacco was Treasurer. Edna Leavitt was secretary of the council and had the honor of being sent to New York to represent our school. Hy Gordon capably ca ptained the men's basket- ball team. Leslie Faulkner represented us in the council. We shall never forget Mr. Phillips' beach party at Preston Beach. The swimming, playing, delicious chowder, sizzling frankfurters and spicy spaghetti all contributed their part. And the ride home-with how many in your live-passenger car, Mr. Phillips? Many of us attended the Invitation Promenade to welcome our own Dr. Pitman home from Europe. We also attended a few operas at the Boston Opera House, 'fMad- ame Butterfly and Il Trovatore among them. Then there was the enlightening afternoon at Mr. Whitney's. After becoming acquainted with his trees, flowers, and birds, we received lessons in the choosing of colors in our dress. We hope that other classes may have the privilege of visiting his beautiful home. So much to do and only one year in which to do it. First, we chose Alice Pelletier for our council representative, and Edna Leavitt began her successful year as council president. Corinne Gately and Evelyne Oliver were elected Vice-president and Treas- urer of the Senior class, respectively. Corinne was also Associate Editor of the Log and Ernestine Maynard the Business Manager. The Freshmen were duly initiated at a successful reception. Those of us who had to stay and clean up often wondered just whose initiation it was, One of our classmates, Bea Edmondson was elected president of the Literary- Dramatic Club which she worked hard to establish. We can never repay Miss Edwards for all the hours she spent with us getting this club on its feet. Hester Irving was presi- dent of the Tri Mu Club and Helen Sacco of the International Relations Club. Four years is such a short time when one thinks back. We wish that we could be together many years longer. Work is easy when one has the pleasant associations with which we have been blessed. EILEEN MURRAY, ,34 25
