A Period of Exploration and Settlement, 1909-1911. The records left during this period are rather meager in number: but they show that in the fall of 1909, the Eagles found their way to the P. N. S. So favorably were they impressed with the institution that all decided to stay. At once strong and fearless leaders arose who directed their fellows along the straight and narrow pathway which leads to success. They prospered and waxed strong on the athletic field, in forensics, in all school organizations, and in the classroom. Indeed, the problem of social efficiency was partially solved before the end of the period of Exploration and Settlement. ll. A Period of Invasion and Readjnstment, 1911-1912. In the fall of 1911, a vast horde swept down upon the sacred domain of the Eagles and threatened to destroy the class completely. The old guard was totally demoralized and a new set of leaders stood at the helm. lint it was not long before peace reigned again. The conquered and conquerors became one and worked together for the common weal. The inlluence of the new blood was soon felt and it was seen that the class was strengthened rather than weakened by its introduction. The juniors stepped forth and took their hand in the affairs of the school. ln debate they were preeminentg in the societies they were indispensableg on the athletic field they were activeg in the musical organizations they were in much demand: and in all other school activities they showed their prowess. Among the important events of this year was the junior Prom. lt was su-ch a glowing success that assessments were enjoyed by the class until the middle of the next year. mlllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllIllIIIIIIIIIIIIlIllIIIIIIIIllIIlllllllIlIIIIllIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllIllIIIIIlllllIIIIllIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIllIIlIIIIIIIlllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli Page Twenty Eight .
