CAMERA 15 CLASS HISTORY As Freshmen, we were a rather timid group, looking with awe at the arrogant Seniors. However, we summoned up enough courage to hold a class meeting and elect our class officers. The presidency was bestowed on Carl Dayton, but as he moved away soon after, we elected the vice president, George Harris, to hold that position. Bertha Geiger became vice president, and Beatrice Cronk, treasurer. We were introduced into the social world of the school at a reception given to us by the Seniors. Toward the close of the year we had a class picnic at Pine Lake. In our Sophomore year we elected Beatrice Cronk, president, Ruth Comstock, vice president, and Robert Decker, secretary and treasurer. Our annual picnic this time was held at Silver Lake. Miss Budd was our chaperon. Soon after school commenced in our third year, we organized and elected our class oliicers. Anna Vamosy was chosen president, Mildred Ingles, vice president, and Ruth Comstock, secretary and treasurer. Miss Budd became our faculty advisor. We selected our class rings soon after school had commenced and received them early in the year. To try to raise money, we held two box socials. The money obtained from the last social was given to the Senior Class of '28, We gave a play entitled Love a la Cartef' Miss Hubbard trained us for this, and we realized forty-five dollars from it. Our Junior Prom was a great success and at the end of the year we had over a hundred dollars in the treasury. Wednesday, September 5th, the second day of school, we elected our class ofiicers. Anna Vamosy was chosen president, Dorothy Foote, vice presidentg and Ruth Comstock, secretary and treasurer. We asked Miss An- derson to be our advisor. Throughout our last year we have worked to raise money for our Washington trip and to try and make a success of our Camera. We have been successful in all our undertakings, due to Miss Andersonls unfailing interest and help. ANNA VAMOSY.

I4 STAMFORD SEMINARY The next place to which we went was Mt. Vernon. On the way we stopped at Alexandria and visited the old Masonic Lodge of which George Washington was Grand Master. Here also one may see many old relics used by Washington. After leaving Alexandria we went on to the home of George Washing- ton. This is a very beautiful estate and is kept as much as possible as it was in George's time. Here one may get a very good view of the Potomac river. The new and old tombs of George and Martha Washington can be seen. . Next we went to the National Cemetery at Arlington, where we saw the tomb of the Unknown Soldierf and the big uAmphitheatre.,, After we left the cemetery we went to the new St. Paul's Cathedral which is being built in Washington. We then went and met Hon. J. D. Clarke. This finished our program for the day, and then we went back to the hotel. . Tuesday we started out at nine in the morning and visited the follow- ing places: Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where all the money and stamps are madeg the White House, Washington Monument, and the Smith- sonian Institute. Here we saw the Spirit of St. Louisf' the plane in which Lindberg :flew across the Atlantic. The Institute proved to be one of the most interesting places in Washington. We also saw the Lincoln Memorial and the famous Japanese cherry blossoms. We went to the Navy Yard to see the President's yacht, The Mayflowerf, but it had set sail for Philadel- phia, and we were unable to see it. This concluded our second days' tour. Among the noted personages whom we saw while traveling around the city were: Chief Justice Taft, the President, Vice President and many Con- gressmen. Wednesday we went to Philadelphia where we stayed that night. The morning of the following day we visited Independence Hall. After that we started for New York City where we arrived late that afternoon. Friday and Saturday we went to the places of interest in New York and in the evenings we attended a few shows. Saturday night most of the crowd went to Chinatown which was a very interesting place. The next day being Sunday we started home at about nine o'clock and after a few stops we reached Stamford, and most of us were in as good con- dition as we had been when we left. We were accompanied on the trip by Rev. and Mrs. Comstock and Mr. and Mrs. Bailey. Because of Eddie,s knowledge of the roads, we were able to make very good time. Mr. Norman Feifer proved to be very efficient as a chaperon, and under his guidance we had a very line time. Mr. Terry, our guide, who directed us about Washington, was appre- ciated by all the members of the class.
