In fact, ever since Thayerlands days he has served us faithfully in the capacity of treasurer. The ever ready Aye, Aye, Sir is a reminder of his perfect debut on the stage when he lived- 'fout Chiswick wayw and is indicative as well of his cheerful na- ture.

However, since our faculty advisers dceni it best to do this, and since convention demands it, we present the following brief summary of the transcendent and impressive achievements of Class 1. In the first place, when we entered in 1925, we were strengthened by almost the cntire graduating class of Thayerlands. This meant simply a. transference of ability from the records of Thaycrlands to those of the Academy. Then, too, added to our numbers, was the ci'eain of the various schools in surrounding towns. Small wonder, therefore, should there be at the accomplishments of the class. As in the case of our predecessors, we started to be outwardly active in Class IH. Before this, we had simply amused ourselves, but in Class IH, realiz- ing that there was a, growing demand for talent, we offered ourselves for service. During this year the fellows indulged in football and basketball, while the girls busied themselves with hockey. This was a most successful year, and our athletic achievements have continued to be outstanding during our years at Thayer. The dramatic career of the class was launched in 1928 when we had a representative in the Senior Middle Dramatics. Our own Senior Middle Play was one of thc most successful plays ever produced in the Academy. The un- tiring effort and time spent' by Miss Gcniniel, and by the faculty and student committees, resulted in an absolutely satisfactory production of 'fPomander Walkft This play called for so large a cast that we were able to give very charitably a fcw members of the other classes chances to develop their talents. Our social activities have been of the highest. quality. Ati our Senior Middle Reception the hall was literally packed. This year, aided by a few lower class- nien, a committee of seniors managed the Football Dance and the Senior Recep- tion which were both well attended. lYere they successful? Just ask anyone who was present. lVe have produced Lincoln essays, short stories, essays on General Thayer, chemistry essays, and now with Seniors Day and Commencement exercises, to say nothing of College Boards approaching, we expect to be quite busy for the rest of the year. So we have lived our years at Thayer and now that the time has come when we must Ngo in the innumerable caravan, which moves to that mysterious realm, where each shall taken his place in the awe inspiring halls of college, we go with inany fond memories of five marvelous years spent under the guidance of our headmaster and faculty, and with a heritage which we shall always cherish. lllilliain Storrs. 14
