DORIS ALEXANDER So shy and retiring is Doris that in all the years we've known her, Welve been unable to find any fault with her. As a sportswoman, she holds her own with the best of them, particularly in hockey and basketball. As a student, too, she is faithful and industrious, But it is in music, on the piano, that Doris far outstrips the rest of us. We predict that in the years to come she will be hailed as the second Paderewski and we will indeed be proud to say we were schoolmates of hersl Ifor the present, however, Doris intends to go to Simmons where, we know, she will still be unable to hide her light under a bushel.

IRENIQ BAKER A newcomer this year and such a quiet one that we've scarcely had time really to know her and find out all her virtues. Be that as it may, we did succeed in discovering, while practicing for the exhibi- tion, that Irene far excelled almost all of us in the Terpsichorean art. That, coupled with the fact that she reels off Latin as we others do Iinglish. is enough to bring her to the front, anywhere. As yet, Irene has not made up her mind in regard to the future, but we wish her luck wherever she may go. Candy Committee: Glee Club. BERNADIXI2 BARKER QBCNNYD Ifirst, last, and always, Bunny is a Girl Scout. Uther things. such as school and plays, may take up some of her time, but we have a deep-rooted suspicion that Bunnyfs heart and soul is ever with the Scouts. In spite of that, her scholastic record has always been of the best and her acting always clever and true to the part she portrayed. Once again, after a grown-up period of about a year, Bunny has succumbed to the lure of bobbed hair. In Bunnv, the School of Social VVork has indeed secured a loyal and faithful student.

TI'E!l.VllI'UP' HISTORY Ulf THF CLASS OF 1925 The good old Class of 1925 was the first preparatory -class to enter the Academy with tlIe new Faculty. No doubt we were very timid and frightened little preps but we soon outgrew our shyness. lVe were very proud of having a member of our class on tlIe Academy baseball teaml Qf course, it was no other than Dick Ketchum, our president. Dick and many other boys in the class have continued to distinguish themselves and us in athletics, -for they won the basketball championship for two successive years. The girls, too, have slIown their merit in basketball, field hockey. and volley-ball. During our Junior year we elected oflicers. Each of the two divisions of the class had its own officers, but we realized that we could not have true class spirit with- out unity. Accordingly, we elected officers to represent tlIe whole class. The next year, our Junior hliddle year, found some of us in Room 3. There We were a source of constant annoyance to hlr. Hetherston, who declared we were the noisiest class tlIat had ever been in that room. That year was tlIe Golden Age of our class. ive certainly lengthened the Honor Roll considerably. This year we gave our reception. ive are sure that everyone who was at the Cochato Club that night will agree that the dance was a brilliant success. A few of the members of our class contributed to the success of the French plays. If any- one is ever in need of a street urchin, we heartily recommend Steve Balkam. lVe had the pleasure and privilege last fall of welcoming lNIiss Gemmel as our English teacher, and we hope to show her that the East is quite as attractive as the VVest. Altogether, our school life has been a happy one, and we sincerely hope that we may leave a record of scholarship and usefulness that will be an inspiration and a guide to those who come after us.

TI'Ed.illICI' HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1926 livery Class Five at Thayer up to our time has had to go through a year of being the youngest class, but not so with the Class of '26. VVhen, in the fall of 1921, we arrived at Thayer, we found to our joy that there was a class even younger than We were. During that first year We showed that we had something to be proud of when Sammy Long shone on the gridiron, and Phyllis Abell and Alice Cole received prizes for Latin at the end of the year. Other classmates showed that, though 'kprepsu then, they would eventually come to something better. VVe showed good judgment in our election of class oflicers by selecting Sam Long as president and John Palmer, Virginia Barham, and Phyllis Abell as vice- president, treasurer, and secretary, respectively. The school year of 1922-23 brought forth many of our athletes in football. basketball, hockey, and baseball. In this, our present year, most of our boys can be found on some team or other. Our girls, in the meantime, have not stood back and looked on always. Any- one who has seen the exhibitions of the last two years, or the meets, realizes that the athletic ability of our class is not to be scoffed at. lVe think that by the time we are Seniors that we shall be able to look back on our school years without being disappointed at what we have accomplished.

This year tlIe number of our class increased to fifty-five. lVe did comparatively little to distinguish ourselves in scholarship that year, but there were two notable exceptions in Barbara Hull and Albert Belliveau. who won tlIe Latin prizes in June. Now that we are studying both French and Latin in our Junior year we shall not be surprised if we Wake up some morning and hnd that we've forgotten how to speak linglish.

Trifmmrvr HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1928 The lnfant Class or Cradle Roll, as we were termed by the Seniors, started with a class of twenty-seven and increased in our second year to sixty-two. The class oflicers were elected in November. The otlicers were Francis lfal- coner, president: Roger Vinson, vice-president: Elinor Godfrey, secretary. XYe held our meetings every week on Thursday. The magazine known as the 'lNow and Then which was started by the Class of 1927 when it was the sixth class, was continued by us. Xve edited the magazine twice, with much enthusiasm. Scenes from Dickens' Christmas Carol were given at Christmas time by mem- bers of our class and a few assistants from Class Five. Neither the boys nor the girls were conspicuous in winning honors in athletics but probably that was because we were the Cradle Roll. Give us time and we will show the school what we can do in athletics and other things. This year the class held their first class meeting in November. New oflicers were elected with the exception of president. In the fall, the class, chaperoned by bliss Briscoe, lN'Ir. Southworth, and Nlr. Lane, saw a performance of L'The blerchant of Venice with David Xvarfield in the leading part. The girls of our class had a field-hockey team while the boys played football. Although we haven't as yet had any brilliant stars in athletics, we have several members who have attained honors in scholarship.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1929 On the morning of September 17, 1923, if you had looked sharply you would have noticed twenty-six timid creatures, who are now members of the sixth class, creeping slowly up the steps of Thayer Academy, and then if you had looked more sharply you would-have seen us steal into the dark corners of the hall trying to escape the glances of the older pupils. However, we only wasted our time trying to hide from them because they were too busy greeting each other to take any notice of us. On October twenty-ninth we organized our class and now hold class meetings regularly. After the business is completed, we have entertainments or debates which we always anticipate with much pleasure. The girls of our class had a hockey team and played three games. Though defeated in each one, they did manage to score. Our boys had a football team, which was also defeated. In spite of this poor beginning, however, we look forward courageously to greater success in the future. ln November we issued a class paper called 'fReyaht Ymedacaf' QVery wise people will make this out to be 'lThayer Academym spelled backwards.j In this we have had stories, poems, jokes, and cartoons. Our editor-in-chief, Charlotte Butter- worth, assisted by a capable staff, helped greatly in making this paper both attractive and entertaining. Now we are looking forward with pleasure to the time when we will become dignified Seniors and will show by our records that we have profited by this happy year we have spent in dear old Thayer.

OF 1923 The Thayer Academy lfootball Team of 1923 made a most enviable record by going through the season with- out a defeat. The sporting editors of the Boston papers Boston Private Day Schools. The team certainly deserves this modest bit of credit for they went through the entire season without a defeat. A brief summary of the games and their scores will show that our football team is worthy of congratulations. On September 28th, Hingham School was our guest for the afternoon and very nearly out-guessed us as far as the outcome of the game was concerned. Hingham was considered weak, both defensively and offensively, however, at the end of the game the South Shore team gave the spectators a different opinion concerning their ability. Hingham had been practicing for two weeks prior to the Thayer game while Thayer had been training scarcely a week. Consequently their attack was better organized. The first score of the game came in the second period when Captain Jacobs of Hingham crossed the goal-line. They failed to get the try-for-a-point. The offensive of Thayer did not make itself prominent until the last few minutes of play. By a series of for- ward-passes, Jones to Palmer, and Jones to Stephenson, we finally scored a touch- down, and the game ended, Hingham, 6g Thayer. 6. The second game of the season proved to be more encouraging to Thayer. Roxbury Latin came out to South Braintree with a good number of injuries, conse- quently their full strength was not on the field. llowever, Thayer was quite su- perior, being nearly always in possession of the ball, and as a result made two touchdowns, one field goal, and one try--for-a-point. Acting Captain Yvakeman kicked very accurately and Long showed his all-round ability as a back-field man. The final score was Roxbury l.atin, Og Thayer, 16. C,-XPT. IONES gave to Thayer Academy the championship of the Greater FIRST TEAM FOOTBALL Un account of sickness Sir. Hincks was unable to be with the team the week preceding the Country Day game. During this time the entire team showed their real worth by working conscientiously for the entire week without their leader. Country Day presented a very heavy team, but the Thayer fight was superior. At no time did Country Day threaten and for the greater part of the game they were on the defensive. The game ended in a scoreless tie. Klilton Academy was our rival for October 20th, and they were indeed rivals. lt looked as if Thayer was going to lose until the second half began. The score was six to nothing in favor of blilton at the beginning of the second half, but the out- look changed decisively as the game progressed. lt was all Thayer during the last part of the game as the result shows. Long scored on a fifteen yard run and TxVake- man kicked the goal, causing the game to end, lNlilton, 65 Thayer, 7. Xvhen Noble and Greenough trotted on the field they were recognized as the holder of the Greater Boston Private Day School championship, but when the game ended they had lost it. Yvhittemore, the quarterback for Noble, scored a Held goal in the first few minutes of play. Thayer elected to receive and Jones caught the ball on his own two yard line. By the aid of perfect interference he ran the length of the field for a touchdown. For the remainder of the game the action was confined to the center of the field and the game ended Noble, 3 3 Thayer, 6. On the third of November Thayer had the privilege of entertaining a new school on her schedule. Tabor Academy journeyed from Marion to South Braintree, only to be defeated, but it was a closely fought game throughout. Tabor's touchdown came as a result of a blocked kick. There was a scramble behind the goal line but Tabor came out ahead. The two touchdowns earned by Thayer were a result of hard work. We hope that Tabor will continue to find a place on our schedule in baseball as well as in football. The final score was Tabor, 65 Thayer, 13. Qur third and last tie game of the year was with the Dean Academy team of Franklin. The game was bitterly contested throughout. The playing was not par- ticularly spectacular although some of Thayer's forward passes showed power. The entire game was played practically in midfield and required all the football knowl- edge that could be mustered together. The big game of the year was certainly a big game for Thayer. Any person that was on the sidelines would say that football was played as it should be played. Hard running, sure tackling, good kicking, and the overhead game on the part of Thayer were in evidence. VVakeman, Jones, Long, and Trott were the outstanding players for Thayer. Quincy entered the game as a decided favorite over Thayer, but they had the wrong idea of their opponents. Quincy never really threatened although occasionally Listman or Guinan would gain a little, but never consistently. Thayer from the opening kick-off showed its superiority in all depart- ments of the game. ln the first period Thayer worked its way to Quincyls twelve yard line and then Wakeman came back for a fake drop-kick. He threw a forward pass to Jones, who drifted across the goal line for the only score of the game. At the beginning of the second half Quincy showed its only offense of the day but was stopped at Thayer's forty yard line. At no other time during the game did Quincy threaten. At the end of the last period Thayer had the ball on Quincy's eight yard line in a perfect position for a field goal but the referee sounded the whistle and a most enjoyable game was brought to a close. 1 Fo 0TBAl.L , srgoun TEAM WWILLI MS 2. 4 In football the boys who comprised the second team have been appropriately called those that n1aa'tf the first team. This tribute is Well deserved. VVhen the time came for the regulars to have a scrimmage prior to a game, the seconds could always be relied upon to give a stiff opposition. The Scrubs gave nearly all they had for the improvement of team Ag as a result when their games came, they did not have the stamina to give the best account of themselves. Although the games played by the second team were not a success as far as the scores went. every game showed football as it should be played. Fight and team work were continually in evidence. From the scores detailed below it can be seen that there was excellent football material in this squad.

The energy stored up during the winter finds only a small outlet in basketball and hockey so when spring and real baseball weather come, the Dorcas Faxon Field becomes a seething mass of boys, balls, bats, and gloves. The Coach in baseball as well as in the other ath- letic activities is Nlr. lfdward XY. Hincks. On a cool .-Xpril fourteenth the Thayer 'lieam went to Groton. blass., to play the l.awrence .Xcademy aggregation. Our team immediately showed the result ot practice in its team play and confident batting. Almost eyery inning brought in one or more runs for Thayer. The final score was ten to zero. Our first game on the home grounds was a decisive victory for ilihayer. 'lihe Noble and Greenough team played good ball but we played better. lxetchum pitched excellently, allowing only one run while 'lf ,-X. sluggers brought in seyen. Roxbury Latin played here on April twenty-eighth. It was a shining day for pitcher Long and his supporters, for the best story of the game is Roxbury l.atin three, Thayer twenty-one. ,Xn unusual game was played by Thayer on Xvednesday, blay second. Our team went to Newton, the home of the Country Uay School. XYalker made a home run for 'lihayer early in the game. 'lihen our opponents made two runs. 'lihus the game stood, two to one, until the lucky seventh when pitcher Richard Ketchum knocked a home run with two men on bases. Nothing more needs to be said except that Country Day was on the small end of the score, four to two. Norman George pitched a fine game against the Rivers School on the fifth of blay. The air was the best the Rivers' Sluggers could strike, but they did this ex- tremely well, for it was only in the last inning that they managed to get two runs. It is almost a pity to tell the points Thayer scored. 'lihere were twenty-nine of them. All those who saw the game played on lNIay eighth at 'l'hayer, with the strong Browne and Nichols team, were well repaid. Although it was mainly a pitching duel, plenty of excitement and interest was furnished by both teams. There were quite a number put out on bases, one or two Hpicklesf' and a good many hits. Nel- son slones, catcher for Thayer, brought down much applause by his many successes in catching Very difficult fouls. The runs being rather few and far between, the score was Very close throughout the game, including the final total of five to three in our opponent's favor. 1 lRS'l' B,-XSlfBgX1.1, TIQXXI john Alden Norman George George Stephenson Donald .Xllison Nelson Jones Richard 1Yalccnian George Allison Richard Ketchum Dcain- Walker.

The game was the most thrilling that even the 'fancientl' class of 1923 can remember. VVith the score a tie at the end of practically every inning, the two teams battled through ten innings. In the first of the eleventh, Huntington crossed the plate once more, making the score four to three in its favor. But Thayer was firm in its resolve to win, and Nelson Jones' home run gave the whole team courage. The Huntington pitcher then helped us out by passing George, who stole to second. Here John Alden came to the rescue by hitting a two bagger which sent George home and won the game, ive to four. The baseball season of 1923 ended in a series of close games. VVhat were defeats were close defeats, what were victories were' hard won triumphs. The an- nual alumni game and the Quincy game were the most interesting contests of the 1ast part of the schedule.

In this way, interest and enthusiasm are aroused in the lower classes, and a future first team is always in training. This spring the second baseball team organized almost as soon as the first, and so far it has had good success. The Seconds first played Holbrook High School at Thayer. Both teams showed spirit and team play, although there were some errors made on both sides. Thayer seemed the more proficient in the long run, and the final score was Holbrook eight, Thayer thirteen. The next game, although more disappointing in its result, was more exciting. Avon High School fought stubbornly throughout the game, and, until the last inn- ing, was in the rear. Then, by a determined rally, the High School boys secured a one run victory, the score being eight to seven in Avon's favor. A return game was to be played with Holbrook but it was indefinitely postponed. 1 W WEARERS5 OF THE JOHN ALUEN IJONALI1 ALLISON GEORGE ALLISON JOHN HUBBARD NELSON JONES RICHARD KETCHUM RICHARD KIMBALL YRANCIS LANTERY FRANCIS LONQ EDWARD PALMER ZFRANCIS POOLE WEND-ELL SCHUH THERON SPRING: GEORGE STEPHENSON JOHN TROTT RICHARD WAKEMAN SAMUEL WAKEMAN HOCKEY TEAM The hockey season at Thayerlwas short this year owing to the unsatisfactory weather conditions. Cold weather Without snow was not with us long enough to give good ice. The first game of the season was with Noble and Greenough school. The Noble team showed that their superiority came only through practice. Had Thayer been working together longer the score would not have been four to nothing in Noble's lavor. Country Day School was our opponent for the second game. The ice was soft as a result of a two day thaw which immediately preceded the game. Thayer showed improvement and emerged from the game with a two to one defeat. The last game of the season left the team with the satisfaction of one victory. Rivers School gave us some stiff opposition, but Thayer, by superior team work and speed, gained a one to nothing decision over her adversaries.

The playing conditions of the gymnasium are such that it is im- possible to entertain a team and to provide for spectators. The second class team Won the championship for the third consecutive time. The third class team gave a good account of itself, but they had to give way to the second class team. The Seniors did their best but they had to be content to remain in third place.

The last game was the most exciting of the series as Class Three nearly defeated the Seniors, losing by only one basket.

A very effective program was arranged by Miss Pauline VV. Chellis and Mr. lidward VV. Hincks, our physical supervisors. Nlarion South, Virginia Barham, and Dorothy Shaw played the music for drills and dances. The floor drills, wand drills, dumbbell drills, and Indian club drills were executed with cleverness and precision by the boys and girls of the different classes. This work was a splendid demonstration of our daily gymnastic exercises. The most thrilling part of our evening's entertainment was the various feats performed on the pieces of apparatus. The excellent tumbling and the work on the elephant and parallel bars by the boys was not overshadowed by the girls' dem- onstration of their ability to vault the horse and the new Swedish Box. A Tarantelle was the first dance number by the girls of Class Two with tam- bourines and gay Venetian costumes. The boys of Class Five then showed us that they could dance as well as the girls of their class who tripped an Irish lilt with jaunty green caps, capes, and aprons. One would really think he was in Toyland when the little girls of Class Six gave us an attractive doll dance dressed in appropriate costumes. The Barn Dance created quite a stir when the fair ladies were discov- ered to be the boys of Class Three. Next came a lN1ilitary Dance by the girls of Class Three, each in a bright red soldier costume. This was very lively and was indeed carried out in true Hussar fashion. The girls of Class Four in their very peppy Jockey Dance came through with flying colors: Black and Grange. A very graceful performance was the lylazurka by the boys of Class Two and we all remem- ber the second boy in the second row as Hpremier danseurf' The closing feature of the evening was the Aesthetic Dances by the girls of the upper classes who were picturesquely dressed in charming costumes of pastel shades. The f'Pizzicati and Valse Caprice were true interpretations of Terpsichorean expression and brought a most enjoyable evening to a close. EMG SONGS T if it l QHEERS X V' ipfa ! a T-A! T-A! Rah! Rah!

Nearly three hundred students invaded her quiet halls. hlany faces were familiar: some were new, among which were five members of the faculty: Nliss Briscoe who comes from Haverhill High School: bliss Sleeper from Nlanchester High School, New Hampshire, Miss Xvilcox from the Voss School, Nlilton, bliss Gemmel from Duluth Central High School, Nlinnesota, and bliss Aldrich from Nluskegon High School, Nlichigan. The Reverend Nlr. George A. Thayer came all the way from Cincinnati to open our school year. Oftolzer 3rd-'llhe Reverend blr. Partridge entertained us for nearly an hour with a very interesting talk. Ofznlnfr Iltlz-Columbus Day exercises were graced by the reading of two compo- sitions written by members of the Senior Class, one by lfarle Hiscock on The Voyages of Columbus, and the other by hlargaret Loud on An Apprecia- tion of Columbus. N otwnlzcr 9111-Ill memory of the end of the Great NVar, the students assembled today to pay their tribute of respect to those who gave their lives in response to the call ofliberty. Harlan Paige, the president of the Senior Class, read very impressively mln Flanders Fielcsug Jeannette Bailey, the vice-president of the Senior Class, read The Spires of Uxfordf' and Nelson Jones of the Senior Class and captain of the football team read l Have a Rendezvous Xvith Death. Nlr. Southworth completed this sad but inspiring program by read- ing the names of our seven dead heroes, the Honor Roll of Thayer Academy. N otcnzlzer 22nd-This afternoon we had a visit from Mrs. Lucia Ames blead who spoke to us on l'How to Save Civilization. Her lecture, interesting and to the point, told us many things that we had never before realized. She said that cultured people in lffurope are bzcoming fewer, and that the conditions of the institutions of learning are deplorable because of the bankruptcy of Eu- rope. But, she said, the situation in lfurope can be helped if America does her dutvfl Derember 13th-NVe were agreeably surprised this morning by the appearance of the quartet of Hampton Institute, a school for negroes. They were accompa- nied by Mr. George Ketcham, one of the leading men at the Institute, and John Cornish, a graduate of 1923. The program consisted chiefly of religious songs, though at the request of Mr. Ketcham, the quartet did sing the negro marching song of the Civil VVar, lVIen of VVar. The songs, rendered in the deep, rich, negro voice, received enthusiastic applause. January 7t1z-We received news of something very unexpected this morning-a check for ten thousand dollars from Mr. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury! If Mr. Mellon thinks this is an insignificant sum, we don't. fanzzary 10111-Mr. Henry Crane, one of lVIr. Southworth's former pupils, came out to talk with us about 'fThe Greatest Game in the VVorld , which turned out to be Life. He said that anything we have to do can be classihed as either play, work, or drudgery, and the great secret of existence is in knowing how to transform work and drudgery into play. 'fThere are three things, he said in conclusion, which you must know in order to really play the game of Life: know the rules, talk with the Head Coach, and practice. Yve know that Nlr. Crane by his great joy-giving influence has made a lasting impression on many of us. January 28-XVC commemorated by very simple and sincere exercises, the life and work of Miss Thompson, who died a year ago today. bliss lWary Thompson made us familiar with the main events of her sister's life. fanuary 29-This morning we had a visit from Miss Dorothy Dean, Director of the Girl Scouts in Metropolitan Boston. Miss Dean always speaks on interest- ing subjectsg this time it was on Pioneering, This is the second time she has come here to speak to us and Thayer will always stand with open doors to wel- come her again. February 4th-VVe were doubly afflicted with sorrow today on account of the death of our former President, Woodrow WVilson, and the anniversary of the death of our former headmaster, Dr. Gallagher. There are only a few Seniors now in school who knew Dr. Gallagher as headmaster. His death was a personal loss to them. February 7111-Freak day is one of the precedents which the girls of Thayer cling to. It generally falls when least expected. The Seniors and Senior-Middles had theirs today. ln the Freak Day world juvenile costumes seem to be espe- cially in vogue. Since the Seniors and Senior-lNTiddles are undoubtedly wise and dignified it would be most appropriate that we say of them: 'KA little non- sense now and then is relished by the wisest men Qand girls, too.j Fcbr Feliz .lfar nary 12th-It was very appropriate that we should have Brigadier-General Eisby, commander of the Loyal Legion, which was organized the day after the assassination of Lincoln, present at our Commemoration exercises. Gen- eral Bisby presented a hne portrait of Lincoln to the school. Harlan Paige, the president of the Senior class, as spokesman for the Academy, gratefully accepted it. 'nary 2151-As a part of the commemoration exercises for VVashington's birth- day, Mr. Francis Poole, Senior Chaplain of the Sons of the American Revo- lution, presented from that order a portrait of George Washington. Mr. Poole stressed on Washington's love for his country, his magnanimity and pa- triotism in suppressing his desires for personal aggrandizement, and his noble manhood. Earle Hiscock, a member of the Senior Class, accepted the portrait in behalf of the school. ch 20th-Today we were fortunate in having as a speaker Judge Robert Hill, of Salem. Judge Hill has found for rather he quoted from someone elsej that to succeed, a young man or woman must have a clear head, a strong arm. and a brave heart. By a clear head he meant the ability to think clearly and definitely and the will-power to concentrate. A strong arm means not es- pecially muscular strength but general health and physical fitness. A brave heart signifies courage to overcome temptation and to prevail over the dis- appointments and misfortunes that come to all of us. .fpril 9112-VVC were much surprised by being interrupted in the middle of the sec- ond period by a message from the office to go to the Assembly Hall. lNIr. Southworth then presented Mr. Laurie Erskine, who has written several books. Mr. Erskine entertained us with a ghost story, which his audience fully appre- ciated. His abounding geniality and the freshness of his English accent added to his telling of the story. i SENIOR M IDDLIC RHCEPTIGN One of the most brilliant social events ofthe entire year was the Senior hliddle Reception given Tuesday evening, November twenty-seventh. The dance was held at the Cochato Club, which was festively decked out with Thanksgiving decora- tions. The class was fortunate in having blr. and blrs. Southworth, bliss Harris, lNIr. Lane and Richard Ketchum, class presidents, for their receiving line. The music, furnished by the XVisteria Bungalow Negro Qrchestra, left nothing to be desired. The success of the whole affair was largely due to the efforts of the dance committee, which was composed of Richard Ketchum, chairman, blyron Lane, Arleen Hall, Ruth Godfrey. Richard Kimball, Stephen Balkam, and hlartha Cooke. The twenty-eighth of Nlarch was a red-letter day in our social calendar. The Senior reception came off with all its traditional glory. Cochato Club, in gala dress, furnished an ideal hall for the dance, although the room was more than filled to capacity. ln the receiving line were hlr. and lVIrs. Southworth, Nliss Allen, and the Senior Class president and vice-president, Harlan Paige and Jeannette Bailey. The committee chose well in selecting Dick Bower's Qrchestra for the occasion. All those who attended pronounced the evening a delightful success, for which the Senior Class is indebted to a faithful dance committee, composed of Nelson Jones, Eleanor Ricker, and Frances Harrison. SOCIALS The Senior Class resorted to a very successful method of earning funds for their treasury. A series of three Friday afternoon dances was arranged-lfeb. lst, 15th, and hlarch 14th. Three girls made punch which sold with gratifying swift- ness. Don Neal's orchestra very generously provided the music free of charge. The dances were very informal and served as a pleasant recreation after the week's studies. llllil Qi The dramatic season at Thayer this year opened with two brilliant plays given by our comedie Francaise. The two plays, L'T2infant Volen CThe Stolen Childp and La Surprise d'Tsadore, were coached by bliss Battles and bliss Aldrich, who are certainly experts in the art, judging from the success of the productions. L'Iinfant Voleu involves a great deal of action. The parts were all well performed. Nlany strenuous incidents were so carefully rehearsed as to be very na- tural. The cast is as follows: AIADAME T,EIfIiYRE.. ,, ,... . ..... ,,,,,.

XVhen she enters with the baby in its carriage, and while she is absorbed in her soldier lover, Nladame and Nlonsieur Lefevre steal their baby. All the threads are finally disentangled: Annette is dismissed by bladame Lefevre, but becomes the soldier's financee. The inci- dents woven into the story are very amusing. bladame and blonsieur Lefevre made a most proper couple. blargaret Schultz was charming in her motherly solicitude for her child. Lawrence Wvhittemore con- vulsed the audience by the mock-seriousness with which he showed his tenderness and watchful care of the baby. Debonair Allen Nlilne made a gallant appearance in a real French uniform and with an engaging moustache which he twirled from time to time. He captivated the audience as Well as the nursemaid.

RIACDON.-XLD, ?25 Catherine XVitte played her role with her characteristic donceur and gentleness. She is indeed our super-dainty Iiatefl Considering the fact that Frank Faustini d0esn't usually spend his time as a garcon in a cafe, we must admire his precise and obsequious characterization of a real Ifrench waiter. Donald King portrayed to us admirably the tact and business-like manner of the police officers of France. The gamin succeeded most effectively making himself a nuisance to the cake- vendor whom he upset unceremoniously with his basket of cakes. These last two characters helped to give a realistic idea of a cafe in France, and supplied several humorous episodes. In La Surprise d'Isidore words play more of a part. .X difficulty arose from a mistake in the identity of Isidore in the office of a doctor who kept a hospital for the mentally deficient. Grace Seymour as Jeanne, the maid. cleverly showed her changing moods in the different scenes. In fact, Jeanne provided us with much of the humor in the play. 1 Ifred Ilunt with his poise and calmness gave us a perfect picture of the French Savant. Isidore, George XVhite, in a difficult role, presented well his various feelings of bewilderment. pretended deference, and raillery. .Ks bIadame Duval NIargaret Loud was dignified to the last degree. She put so much fervor into her part that even the menacing umbrella came to life! Jeanette Bailey as Nladame Picard showed us a dependent though very charm- ing young wife. Ifvidently she put great trust in her husbandl GREEN STOCKINGS The presentation of Green Stockings on the evenings of blarch seventh and eighth, marks a new period in our school activities: namely, the facility of produc- tion with footlights recently installed, and a curtain which Nlr. Southworth, seeing our need, generously bought. The play, written by A. E. KV. bIason, was coached by Nliss Gemmel and managed by lNIiss Harris. The scenery, procured from some- where by Xvalter Barbour, was very effective in its simplicity. The members of the cast worked unceasingly at rehearsals. The result of the combined efforts of all was clearly shown in the finished work of the two performances. The parts were taken as follows: There were three especially line Englishmen in the play: lNIr. Tarver with his English drawl, his election speech, and his cough lozenges: Colonel Smith, a regular red-coat, and blartin, the butler, who as an English cockney might say, was Uighly hindignanti' when bliss Celia told him to Jump upstairs. lNIr. Raleigh and INIr. Steele vied with each other in attention to Celia. blr. Steele's She IS attractive if you look long enough was eloquent. Mr. Raleigh, bundled up in a heavy fur coat, just had to come ing he was almost frozenfl Admiral Grice certainly must have made his men stand by aboard ship, and jump at the call! At any rate, in the play, poor darling Bobby jumped whenever Grice uttered a word of command. Phyllis, the youngest sister, was delightful. Sympathizing with Bobby Cto whom she was engagedl after that awful ordeal of laying a corner-stone where he slipped in a beastly puddle and everybody just roared, she tenderly sprayed his throat. M1-s. Rockingham was Hmore than engaged-marriedf, Lady Trenchard was 'lmore than married-a widow! Part of their charm lay in their very natural por- trayal of nonchalance and hauteur. William Faraday, the father, pronounced his favorite ejaculation of God bless my soulll with so much gusto that he might easily have been taken for John Bull himself. A typical woman was Aunt Ida, horrified at first at Celia's scheme of inventing a lover, but throughout the play her conlidante and comforter. VVhen the telephone rang, she distractedly held the mouth-piece to her ear, and in despairing words an- nounced that she must be paralyzed. Nlyron Lane was exceptionally good in his role of Colonel Smith. He made the most of his lines, he got everything there was out of them. His strong voice rang out clearly, not a word was missed. He was a tender lover Cwhen Celia would let him bej although it is evident that his devotion was not ephemeral, for did he not vow that he had been waiting for Celia for twenty years? lVlarion Davis, who played the part of the leading lady, Miss Celia, showed a versatile ability on th estage. Her many and rapid changes of feeling were natural and genuine. Her voice and facial expressions were under perfect control. This role may be scored as a triumph. Although the cast in a play generally receives the most attention, yet nothing can ever be done without the faithful Workers behind the scenes. In this case VVal- ter Barbour, the business manager, Gertrude MacDonald and her property commit- tee, John Hubbard, the stage manager with his capable assistants, Dorothy Vye with her able group of candy makers and sellers, and Richard Ketchum with his efficient ushers deserve the greatest credit and thanks for their successful manage- ment of the production.

TllAT'S THE SPIRIT, There is at feeling of friendship Found in the tales of oldg There are ties of kinship Of which we are often told. These things the poets laud In theme or verse or story, But, it's the spirit we applaud, Not the victor's fame or glory. It's not words of comniemaition Or ai trivial praise or two, Nor is an A compensation When the best of work we do. But when the task is finished And we gladly stop to rest A murmured That's the spirit Is better than all the rest. H. D., eu.

Allow me to assure you that suspicion and jealousy never did help any man in any situation. There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man downg and they will succeed, too, if he allows his mind to he di- verted from its true channel to brood over tne attempted injury.

Its properties have been most diligently studied since the time when it was discovered four or five years ago. It is a compound composed of extremely active atoms, several of which it has not without difficulty been forced to give up. Its activity is pernaps due to a few molecules of trinitrotoluene. But we are sorry to say that the T. N. '1'.'s dissolved. Its activity can also he proved by the fact that it belongs at the head of the list in the Periodic Table bee cause its atomic weight is less than the others, thus: C124-, Cl25, Cl 26, etc. The stability is accounted for by the presence of certain ele- ments, EH, JB, and B2, for instance. Light is always absorbed when it comes in Contact with FIH or HG. In spite of its great volume of laughing gas, heat is often given of when difficult experiments are made. VVhen it is ex- posed to sunlight, bright and varied colors may be seen. Some of these bright colored positive ions attract great numbers of electrons that whirl around them continuously. The longer this compound is left standing, the more solidly it becomes fused together. In June, as has been prophesied, it will at last be decomposed into its component parts. Plan now to HAVE MONEY You can by laying asicle a small amount regularly. Two dollars each week will amount to SL000 in less than ten years. Isn't this worth while?
