Although we were the youngest class in the school, the girls won the athletic cup for track, to the great chagrin ol' our older sisters. The next Year our class increased by half. and we became known as H Jre sf, hlost of ., , l our time we spent learning the declensions of Latin nouns, and discovering that ta-I-hj2: Ca?-l-2ab-HND. ln the third class, as .luuior Xlids. we began to feel that we were really grown up. ln the Lincoln Essay contest. the tirsl one ever held in this school. llamillon Hutton won the medal with a paper entitled, The Nlental Breadth of .Nhraharn Liucolnf, The girls won the inter-class hockey championship, and thus gained their coveted monograms. This year we are dignified Senior Middles, and very busy ones, too. First, we held our Reception, which we claim is the best one ever given, at the Neighborhood Club, in Quincy. On March tifth and sixth, we presented She Stoops lo Conquer, Oliver Goldsmithls quaint old play of a hundred and fifty years ago. 'S Next year, one of our number says, H most of us expect to attain the dignified positions of Editors of the Year Book, models for the rest of the school, and burners of the midnight oilf' NIARY F.

A few of our classmates are coming back to Thayer next September, for another year. Of course Captain- elect Young of the football team will be among those who return. 'C Johnny is improving, these bright spring days. for he now arrives on time every morning. With him will come Carlysle Kretsehman, and Charles Murphy, with his perpetual grin, to fight for the old Black and Orange. The walls of Thayer will look down for another year on Dot Jenkins and Loring Towne, who were charter members and loyal supporters of '26g we will welcome back, too, Ruth Welch, who for two years has been one of the most dependable members of our class. Eleanor Low has been with us such a short time, that Thayer will be glad of an opportunity to become better acquainted with her next fall. Dick i' Pratl's faithful and industrious work for the Year Book has won him a large niche in the affections and admiration of the class, and he will be welcomed back with open arms. We only wish we could all come back with him. Bowdoin will claim three of our members for the next four years. Perhaps we shall read in the paper of Manager Knowles, one of the finest athletic managers the College has ever knownfy After Asa has spent a season directing the geometry baseball team,- well. any- thing may happen. To Brunswick, too, will go H Brud Bartow, who came to us so recently that we hate to have him leave us. and H Jack Queen, who helped make our Senior dance such a delightful affair. Clarence Arber came to us from Dorchester High to prepare for Colby College. and incidentally to lend his support to the football and baseball teams. We hate to part with him so soon, but we know Colby will welcome him warmly. Many dark mornings have been brightened by Joseph Hunt and his H blonde H hair. He shines, too. in history class. Dates roll from Joe's tongue like water from the prover- bial duck's back. After he has spent four years way out in Illinois, at Wfheaton College. we predict the publication of Hunt's History of America. VVe surmise that September, '26, will see Lisena Di Bona entering the portals of Rad- cliffe. Al. any rate, Lisena has been working hard to prepare for the C. Bs Louise Blaser has decided that a school of Journalism will be her next stopping place. Doesn't that sound terribly serious for a young lady as merry and sunny as Louise? VVe just know she'll make good. tho'. Bob Blake has been with our class for only one short year. YYe only wish he had come to us sooner. for now we've got to pass him on to Tech. And last. but by no means least, comes Bud Payson, our all-round athlete. We hate to think of what the football, hockey, and baseball teams will do without Perley next year. But we are glad we met him? You bet we are! VVe love our old academy Our school and campus fair, All too soon has come the day To bid farewell to Thayer. -il 27 Ig..
