ARTHUR TARBOX BUSH IKART77 Stamford, New York By studious means he wins his way. Art has been with us each year except his Freshman year. Of course there was something wrong with the examina- tions then for t'Art knew his subject matter to a HQ. We regret that Art', has never taken part in athletics for we know he would have had a successful career. To pass the time away he has written a prize essay. Art', likes the opposite sex well enough but somehow he hasn't the nerve to prove it. ADA BELLE MABEY 'iMABEY,, South Gilboa, New York Out of all the S. S. girls Ada has the prettiest curls. Ada has spent her four years of high school in Stamford although her interest for a long time was divided between Stam- ford and Roxbury. Now, however, it is centered wholly in Stamford. We all know Ada by her curls and prophesy a brilliant future for her at Hollywood with Mary Pickfard as her understudy. AURILLA HASTINGS R1LLY South J eiferson, New York Aurilla's days with us have been few. She joined us last fall as a Senior. In January she went on into the Training Class room, but she has been with tus in outside activities. When we needed help in raising money for the Washington trip sl1e lent a helping hand. A.urilla's chief hobby is driving a Ford. On sunny days we may laugh at Fords but on rainy days we've often been very thankful to ride to gym class in Aurilla's Lizzie.

A l 'il At last we reached. the stage of the important and dignified senior. Kenneth Doonan was again chosen to guide us, as president in our last year. May Willis was chosen vice pres-V ident and Natalie Robbe, secretary and treasurer. At the beginning of school we welcomed the new members and then settled down. lVe had to raise a great deal of money before We could go to Wasliingtoii. Our first money earning event was a Hallowe'en social. This was a great success and from it we realized about a hmm- flred dollars. Soon after, we bought candy to sell and profit by, llie also sold subscriptions for the Curtis Publishing Company, receiving the commission which heretofore had gone to the ath- letic association. VVe held several basketball games and dances, also three bake sales which added to our fund. The first of March Miss Mahoney with other members of the faculty and some townspeople offered to give a play for our benefit. It was called The Suicide Specialist. The play was held at the Gymnasium and was a great success. VVe great- ly appreciated their help since it really made our trip possible. Since we still lacked funds, May VVillis and Miss Mallory held a musical. Shortly after, we gave a movie, thus complet- ing our Wasliiiigtori fund. Cn the second of April the class left Stamford for WVash- ington in Miss Utsayanfl1a chaperoned by Miss Laura Becker. The trip was greatly enjoyed by all the class who were able to go. I am sure that we all felt our labor had not been in vain. Since Easter vacation we have been busy With the Camera. Gladys Brown was elected Editor-in-Chief, Harriet Buck, sistant editor-in-chief and the rest of the class associate editors. Having failed to choose our motto and class colors before, we chose them in our Senior year as follows: Class colors-Red and white. Class flower-Red rose. Class Motto-Apres le Combat la Couronne. fAfter the Uonibat the Crownj.
