THE MUSSUL Qllanu nf 1934 Coeur de Lion. was a leader of men, both Sa.ro11s and Normans. UR class elected the following officers for this, their last year in high school: Ifypgfdppif Ruby Huff Vice-Prfxridmit Thirza Chandler Secretary Helen Braekley Treasurer Laurence Norton Class Collector Flflyd Flat-T8 Although we have had the supposedly unlucky number of thirteen in our class we have been far from totally lacking in good fortune. Our first big venture in money making was Bing Crosby in College Humor , the talkie which Mr. Harlan Higgins gave under our sponsorship. The Seniors con- tributed to the evening's entertainment an animated newspaper with stories, jokes, poems, locals, advertising and well known comic strips. Through the kindness of Mr. Higgins and the cooperation of the trustees of the Forster Building, the Senior Class netted about twenty dollars. This year our class play drew an old time crowd and the financial gain was en- couraging-nearly fifty dollars for our treasury. We exchanged plays with New Sharon and although such ventures are sometimes unsatisfactory, we not only had UNSQUIT 7 a good profit, but we thoroughly enjoyed the cordiality extended to us by the New Sharon Seniors. The Seniors were fortu- nate in being able to have the entire cast, with one exception, from its own member- ship. VVe put on two silent movies which were well attended by the townspeople. As an added attraction we gave away several prizes. We have had several changes in the membership of our class. Virgil jackson, Gwendolyn and Hilda Toothaker joined our class just before the 'Christmas vaca- Lake left shortly after mid- years and Virgil jackson left before Easter tion. Urcil vacation to graduate with his own class at X'Vinthrop. He acted very competently as stage manager for the presentation of our play here, but we missed him greatly at New Sharon. Violet Lambert, Floyd Flagg, Birchard Taylor and Ruby Huff have been our ath- letes. Floyd Flagg, Ruby Huff, Lelia Luce, Laurence Norton, Birchard Taylor and Hilda Toothaker took part in the junior- Senior speaking contest.

THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT 9 Winston Elmore Beal U H Track 2, 35 Cross Country 45 Basketball 25 Bill Wilkins in Hobgoblin House 45 Class Will. We have various recollections about Winston from his Ford to David Copperfield . While the teachers were supposedly at home deep in thought, their reveries were often interrupted by honk-honk-honk! Beal was rattling by! Of Winston and David Copperfield little need be said! While very quiet and unassuming, Winston has been a most loyal and faithful member of our class. Helen Mae Brackley Helen Baseball 2, 45 Basketball 2, 35 Track 15 Speaking Contest 1', 25 The Headless Phantom UD and Patricia Arnold in Hobgoblin House 45 Class Secretary 45 Class Will. Four years ago Helen came from Freeman to join our class. She was a short little lady with sparkling brown eyes. Perhaps Helen hasn't in- creased a great deal in stature, but she certainly has in wisdom and in favor with all her school- mates. Especially she has learned about a part of the New Deal???? VVe hope your life will be happy so as to keep those eyes as bright as they have been these past four years.

Who is it that is always ready to disagree in English Class and present a good argument too? Why, it's no one but Thirza, the life of the senior class. I hear that Thirza once had a Paine, but she 's all right now. Courses in school don't scare Thirza. If she thinks she wants them, she 'll take tive subjects and carry home a card of straight A's.
