T birly Class H zktory T THE beginning of the first class of the school year of 1927-8, a master who believed more in telling the worst than in letting it discover itself said: There are nineteen of you present, about six will graduatef' We accepted the challenge, nine of us survived. In the fall of '28 a vast number of fresh new kids arrived. We of the year before were the last disciplina- rians. We suffered fearfully in attempt to maintain an old tradition in the face of a new era. Nevertheless the greater part of our number arrived in that year, and it was not long before we were as one, new friendships were made, and new worlds were conquered. We elected Hoover to the presidency and rebuilt our chapel. In the next year we left the Lower, lived in rooms and inhabited a new strata of society. More arrivals swelled our number and we chose our courses. 1930 found us scattered over the School in buildings hoary with tradition. We entered the upper half of the School and appeared on Club and School teams. Our Fifth Form year was one of change. We were represented on the Council, and lived according to ideals rather than rules. Athletics took up a great deal of our time and what remained was spent in initiations to the various societies. In the spring we elected our officers and prepared to take over the responsibilities of running the School. The Year T VVAS hard to realize, in September, that we were coming back to St. Paul's for our last year. By now, after passing so many years within these walls, the School seemed a fixed and mighty part of our lives. We entered joyously on the year of responsibility and privilege which was ours. We did our best to maintain the good traditions and introduce new ones. One of the most significant signs of a new attitude was the rule suggested by the Council and passed by the masters, that all third and fourth formers should be out of study if they attained seventy, instead of eighty, percent, in their marks. The world was a chaotic place during the School year, but interested as we were in outside events, as the ap- pearance of that excellent paper, The Salient proved, we could View events dispassionately. For us, the vic- tory of the Delphians in Football, of the Isthmians in Hockey, and in Track, of the Old Hundreds in Baseball, and the Shattucks on the Pond were the events around which the stars turned. VVhen we left the School in June it was under protest. Our lives are bound up in St. Paul's, we know nowhere else. Ours is not a departure, it is an uprooting.
