' ri noi., ii : , Sixth Form History E Graduating Class this year was first formed in 1899 at the old school at Bustleton. It has finally worked up through six hard years and now leaves the school and its pleasant memories. In 1899 when the class was formed there were about five members and to-day we have with us two of these, Hammond and Cook. Porter has been with us ever since then, but Cook only remained two years and skipping his third and fourth form years he came back to finish in his fifth. Thus it may be seen that Hammond is what might be called Old Faithful. The second year this class found itself with some new members and of those who joined the class this year, Bickley, Prescott, Swift and Westcott are still here. Bickley only stayed one year, and then left to return again in his fifth form, but Sherburne, Flossie and Bayse have helped to bear the burden of the class ever since. Townsend and Stokes are the only ones here now who entered in the third form, and they were the last ones to enter the class while at Bustleton. The next year brought great changes to the class, as this was the first year of the school's life at Wayne. This year more entered the class than in any previous year and now of those we have, Aleshire, Bender, Iiastman, La Garde, Lindsay, Merriam C., and Pevcrley. , This year the class became prominent in the fussing circles at Bryn Mawr, in which Aleshire, Fast- man, Lindsay and Peverley held high places. Later, Bender came to be a familiar character at the Armitage Teas, while Noah was well known from the blacksmith shop to Radnor Road. . The Fifth Form year was a successful one, and a great many new fellows entered, adding to our pres- ent list Cavanaugh, Dorrance, Mills, Van Horn and Warnock, and after the spring vacation Riley entered. It was during this year that the class got together and learned to know each other, and looked forward to '24

the Sixth Form year, and by the end of the year we had as large as class as there had ever been in the school. But as for the studious part, well! we will leave that for the reader to decide for himself. Well, when the final came, we took in a few more studentsf Pj. Breyer, the three Kibbeys and Scott. This year has been one of great interest to all the class as it is their last year, and they want to make the best of it. As all will agree it is the most studious and best behaved class inschool and holds the leading place in all branches. Now, as we say good-bye to the school, the fellows and all those who have helped us and guided us through our course, we want to thank them for their kindness and patience. We hope that when they look back at the members of this class they will overlook their faults and remember them by their good traits. The days are growing few, before we leave the school for good, to go out to our life work in many different directions, probably some of us never to meet again, but we shall never forget St. Luke's and the kindness which we have received during our happy years there. As a class we thank all the masters and people connected with the school and wish them and the fellows success in the coming years. May the Fifth Form come back next year prepared to do the work set before them, as the Graduating Class and leave St. Luke's with as pleasant memories as we have to take with us. HXSTORIAN. 25
