The next money-earning plan was a card party. Marjorie Fink was appointed chairman. Under her management the af- fair was very successful and we realized about twenty dollars. lt was about this time that we bought ninety-six dollars worth of candy. lYe raised forty-eight dollars from that. VVe have also sold neckties in the school colors. In January our class was made much larger by the addition of about twelve students, some of them planning to make the four years in three. These students till out our number by six. Soon after this we held two bake sales, realizing from the two of them about fifty dollars. All these sums helped our bank account considerably, but still we did not have enough to take us to Washington. We decided to have a play. So we gathered together the talent of our class and on March twenty-seventh, we presented The Elopement of Ellen in the new Memorial Gymnasium. Miss Helen Hubbard was the coach and director. The play in itself was a huge success, but due to bad weather, not many people were out. This added about one hundred dollars to our bank account. A week from the following Wed- nesday, We presented the play at Windham. The following Saturday, chaperoned by Miss Helen Hub- bard, thirteen of us started at six a. m. for VVashington. I do not think it is possible for anyone to have a more wonderful time than we had at Washington. Meanwhile, we had all been taking part in the production of the Camera Ruth Hall was elected editor-in-chief and Harry Morrow for assistant editor-in-chief, the rest of the class acting as associate editors. And now, as the four years draw to a close, and We look back over them and think of the joys and sorrows We have shared, the hard work and carefree play we have had together, we think of the many things dear old Stamford Seminary has given us and hope that we may prove worthy of the care and love she has bestowed on us in trying to mold us into wise, in- telligent men and women and honest citizens.

The next thing of importance was to determine our class motto, flower and colors. After a little argument we decided upon the following: Class motto-Accipere quam facere iniuriam praestat. tlt is better to suffer wrong than to do it.l Class flower-Lily of the valley. Class colors-Blue and gold. Our annual picnic was held at Cooperstown Lake on Sat- urday, June sixteenth, with Misses Helen and Elizabeth Bruce as chzlpcrons. Cn the first of September, the class held a meeting to de- cide on the officers. Hildred McIlwain as president, Charlotte Corbin as vice-president, Herbert Hedges as secretary, and Ruth Hall as treasurer were the oliicers selected. However, due to the new count system, in October, it was necessary to select new ollicers. From the five Juniors that were left Marjorie Fink was chosen as president, Charlotte Corbin as vice-presi- dent and Ruth Hall as secretary and treasurer. Cn becoming Juniors we had the privilege of' selecting class pins. The big event of our Junior year was held on May six- teenth. This was our Junior Prom given at the Country Club. It was an invitation dance. We had a good orchestra a11d held the dance from eight until two. NVe realized about eighty-eight dollars. This was very good for Juniors. In the first part of June we held our picnic at Coopers- town Lake with Miss Cowles and Miss McPhee as chaperons. Our Senior year has been, by far, the most fun, and the one in which We have worked the hardest. Vlle organized at once, choosing for president Harry Mor- row, for vice-president Charlotte Corbin, and Ruth Hall for secretary and treasurer. VVe at once welcomed the new members to high school with a reception. Several numbers were rendered, after which re- freshments were served. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
