63131935355 HJEQEFQJEJE' Another big year of MissBarrington's training has been completed and another bigger and better class is' graduating. In the Autumn of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, exactly eight wide- eyed frightened Freshmen for as we were sorespecitfully called -Iuniorsj walked up a flight of steps for the nrst time. fx: just one month later two more worthy members joined our ranks. lt might be well to mention that the late comers to our class were none other than our hmental giant, Miss Katherine Kaufhold and our class ffcut-up,'7 Miss Blanche Tausig. Quite a noble addition-think ye not? Now there were ten of us-an equal toiour esteemed Seniors. This number continued through the first half of our first year. Among the outstanding events of this period was the hike through the mountains near Perdix and the beefsteak that went with it we enjoyed immensely. This hike was taken in conneciion with our health course and included the Seniors. Later the Seniors were so proud of us they gave a luncheon in our honor at Craver's, November twenty-third where we had a delightful time. But we could not remain unprogressive. We had to progress or in other words ff add to. And this was in the form ofa Christmas present hailing from Pittsburgh no other than Miss Harriet Manderbach. She worked with the child- ren many days before she had the courage to face our class. Following closely in her tracks, came our last Qbut not leastj member Miss Helen Lawrence. And now we numbered twelve. . Whether due to Helen or other reasons. I do not know, but almost ini- mediately things began to happen. Our class was organized and the following chosen President, Harriet Manderbach. Secretary, Katherine Kaufhold. Treasurer, Mary Miller. These officers were very efficient in their duties and served faithfully. On june sixth the Seniors Luncheon was returned by us at the Oaklyn Tea-room, Elizabethtown. Our only difiiculty was the transportation, but that was overcome. A Commencement and the Dance six days later brought to a partial end of close friendships formed and also ended our first year of school. These two classes parted and since then we have not met as before. 'I I ' ff Lives of great men all zemfiml as We can make our lives sublime. And departing leave behind as F0otp1'ifnt.s on the Salud oft1'me. And now we begin our Senior Year. A W'e were all sorry to hear that we had lost one member of our class. Miss Catherine Hersh. In addition to losing a game little player we broke up our dozen of which we were so proud. Our first move was to elect officers and to organize. Those elected were : President-VicePresident, Helen Lawrence. Secretary-Treasurer, Katherine Kaufhold. A Hallowelen Party was given by the Seniors in honor of the juniors at Alice Griesfs farm near York Springs. Hallowe'en stunts were the order of the evening. One of the Seniors who was the mystic power of mind reading gave an awe-inspiring exhibit of her power. Packed cars made the trip from Harrisburg to York Springs. Every one had a jolly good time. In March a.Bridge Tea was given by the Seniors for the juniors, Alumni and for the Faculty of the Training School and of the Katharine Sweeney Day School. Plans were made forthe or- ganization of an Alumni Association. A committee was appointed to report during April'on the achievements. - f ' , Our Commencement Luncheon held at the Linden Tree, june Itth, 1930, was a sad but appropriate farewell to a successful two years of friendships never to be forgotten. The Dance held on the eve of the same day which was attended by our Class, friends. Faculty and Alumni, delightfully closed our years at Barrington's. Through our Class the School secured school colors-brown and orange, school pennants, and pillow-tops, paper with the Barrington Seal, and now last of all. we are trying to have a Year Book. The success of this enterprise we will leave to your judgment.
