Treasurer IIISTOHY OF CLASS TWO Five years ago. the class of l92T entered Thayer .-Xcademy, the first eighth grade to come to this school. l nder Nliss Portf-r's direction, we presented two plays that tirst year, Dickens' Christmas Carol. and scenes from Shakespeaies Xlidsummer Yight's Dream. 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.

Treasurer IIISTOHY OF CLASS 'I'llBliE Aided by the oft-reiterated descriptions which form the introduction of every Well- regulated class history, we can still remember our A' prep i' days, although four years have passed since we began our ardent pursuit of knowledge at Thayer. As the sixth class, we elected class officers, presented three scenes from Dickens' Christ- mas Carol, and published the 6' Now and Then,', a class magazine. In the fall of 523, our ranks were swelled to twice their former number by graduates from the Braintree and Quincy grammar schools. Our class, in spite of the inevitable changes time brings, remains on the whole as it was then. During our third year, we worked hard, both scholastically and athletically. Our boys began to be represented on the football and baseball second teams, and our girls showed the upper classes there was need to look to their laurels. This fall, after a series of thrilling hockey games, our girls lost the championship, one ill-fated day. We take consolation in the fact that the victors will still be here next year. Beware, '27! Several of the boys made the football team, which played in the South Shore League. The games were thrillers! Both boys and girls are working hard for '28 in basketball. Another exciting event in the third class year is the award of the Lincoln Essay Medal. We listened with both pleasure and protit to the reading of the essays by Katherine Mac- Kinnon, Bobert Hutton, Frances Baker, and Carolyn Ferris. We, the class of ,28, still look forward to the time when we shall be august seniors, but as the years roll on, some of the golden haze has vanished, and we try in vain to hold the joyous mist that eludes us and slips through our fingers.
