According to the pleasing size of the audience, gusto the 'Spectator,' that witnessed the pre- sentation, and judging from the spectators' evident enjoyment during the play it is not too much to declare College Days one of the greatest successes among the High School plays of all times.-But best of all, we accomplished that which we set out to do, the task of making up the athletic deficit. Although the upper Classmen secured to have somewhat the lead in studies during '24, and '25, we certainly swamped them athletically. After beating them in a hard-fought game of foot-ball, by the score of 9-0, we crowned the year's athletic glories by winning the field-day sports. Among the notable events of the year was the celebration of the school's golden anniversary on Friday, October 24. The school assembled in the auditorium and Dr. Wetzel presided. Several members of the school's first faculty were present and added much of interest to the occasion by relating some of their very interesting experiences as instructors in the school shortly after its com- pletion, when the courses offered were for only a few fortunates. On April 17, the school was presented with an Ampico grand piano, a beautiful instrument. the gift of the classes of '22, '23, '24 a11d '25. Because the week of Hnal examinations was becoming alarmingly near, we slackened a bit our rapid, extra-curricular pace to devote more time to the grind With the exception of the Junior- Senior prom held June 5 in the Rider College auditorium, we did our best to make possible our return- ing in September as full-fledged, 5eninrs It may have been purely imagination, or the results of a careful scouring and ten weeks of rest, but it seemed that the plaster busts of some of the more famous characters in history gazed down upon us from the niches and brackets in the corridors with much more friendly and sympathetic glances, as we walked beneath them on returning last September, than they had shown the previous Fall. Even the quotations on the memorial panels seemed to convey a new meaning. We were at last upper classmen. the very back-bone of the school. Hats just a trifle too tight? Well-yes. But before we entered tl1e building, we were greeted by the most brilliant and predominating color of all autumn foliageg new fire escapes for oldg the school fairly bristled with them. Tlxos 2 were not the old fashioned kind which had clung tightly to the walls for support so many years. These were large, capable ones with wide enough steps to actually make crowding impossible. Inside, another generous donation to our welfare reflected the light from many nickled surfaces. Very nifty . Coat-hooks adorned the once barren partitions in the cloak rooms. As the result of class elections of oflicers, Frank Slane is our president. Frank was Captain and full-back of '25, varsity foot-ball. He had the distinction of receiving honorable mention for the state All-High School Team. Charles Brown, who scored such a decided hit in our Junior musical comedy last year, is our vice-president. Harry Bradbury, secretary in '24, and '25, was again elected to that office. For treasurer, Howard Smith, the juvenile member of the foot-ball squad, received the greatest number of votes. By the first of October, we had chosen the senior play, described elsewhere. At the close of the football season, the Seniors defeated the Juniors in a commendable game, by the score of 14-0. This was our second victory. for last year we defeated the SeniorsAof course. ' In January, Mr. Loser, who had been Vice-Principal for three years, was transferred to Junior School Number Three where he is now Principal. Mr. Loser was one of our staunchest supporters. He left many friends when he assumed his new duties in January. All the Seniors wish Mr. Loser the best of luck, and welcome Mr. Scott Smith, our new Vice-Principal. ' Perhaps the most looked-forward to event of the year was the trip to Washington. According to the custom of the past fifteen years, each Senior Class visited the nation's Capitol. This year we left Thursday, October 15, and were fortunate in arriving at a time when Secretary Work of the Department of Interior was able to give us a short talk on the value of a. high school education, and the various opportunities presented to students to accomplish big things. Although the year is nearly over, there are yet a multitude of events which we are eagerly looking forward to. Each year the Seniors are together for the last time as students in high school at the Junior-Senior prom. A bit later the T Banquet is given for the athletes and school officers. Just before Class Day Chambers Field is the scene of the Inter-Class field day. Finally, Class Day, and Graduation which marks both an ending and a beginning. 10
