We are, however, hoping to have Annie Bean back with us again next year. Our Class President also has been out of school a month, due to serious illness, but we are glad that he is able to continue with his class. Two of our class, Bernard Russell and Munro Pierce, took part in the Senior Play, The Village Lawyer, and Blin Witham, Bernard Russell, and Ralph Smith represented us in the Prize Speaking Contest. Many of the boys, including Beane, Russell, McCollor, Stuart, D. Witham, B. Witham, Smith, Small and Hill, are out for the baseball team.

We also wish to publicly acknowledge the gifts Literary Digest, Ameri- can Forest and Forest Life, and Forest and Stream which are fur- nished periodically by Dr. Anna Howes, and also books presented to the school by Miss Nellie M. Baker and Mrs. Alice Dinsmore, which have been found very helpful for supple- mentary work.

It consists of the following members: Piano, Irene Malloyg trombone, Phyl- lis Colemang cornet, Bruce Colemang and drums, Cedric Coleman. We hope to add others soon.
