Senior Class History The history of our Freshman year was covered by the last yearbook but Sopho- more year added activities and enthusiasm, and life began to take on social interests VN ' hich quite turned our heads. The Thanksgiving co-ed party stands out in our memories and was enough to thrill the most unsophisticated Sophomore. After a busy winter, we, with the Juniors, entertained the Seniors at Indian Springs and paid up all our social debts by that perfect day. Junior year our class grew in numbers and we felt vastly more important. First week of school we had our annual get acquainted party. In October we entertained the Seniors with a lovely luncheon at the home of Grace Petit. The Sophomores entertained the whole school with a Hallowe ' en party. Every- thing was decorated beautifully. Nothing was lacking, not even drinks, in spite of pro- hibition. We have a novel way at Wallace of celebrating Washington ' s birthday. In place of having the usual holiday, our faculty insists upon emulating George ' s industry. This we did that year by attending classes during the morning session and cutting up crepe paper in place of cherry trees all afternoon. With this paper we made very attractive dresses representing Martha in rather startling costumes. All we lacked were some real Georges. March 28 we shall not forget. This was the opening date of the James theatre and Helen James invited the entire school. Beautiful theatres, like the James, are not opened every day, and we enjoyed the occasion all the more because of the unusual ex- perience. The social program of our Junior year closed with a box party at Keith ' s, given by the Senior class in appreciation of our many kindnesses to them. At the beginning of our Senior year our class increased to nineteen, including Harriet Taylor who graduates in vocal music. After the annual get acquainted party the first week of scholastic work kept us busy until we began to fear that we were developing into bookworms. Early in October the Seniors arranged a decorating contest for the school. We decorated the house girls ' rooms. The girls were assigned to the various rooms and given a limited amount of money. .At the party a week later, the rooms were judged, and a prize, an alarm clock, was awarded for the third room north on the second floor. A spread at the home of Naomi Schreiner was the next social function. Games and races were enjoyed in the woods nearby until Mr. Schreiner was ready with a mar- velously arranged fire on which he cooked many dozens of eggs while we broiled the bacon. Later at the house there was a huge freezer of ice cream generously provided by Mr. Schreiner. We spent the remainder of the evening dancing. The Seniors wanted to give a rousing good Hallowe ' en party. We started three weeks ahead to bring in the cornstalks and jatk-o-lanterns which we stowed in the attic of West Hall. A week before the party we were told that we might have men, real men! Every girl was busy the rest of the week hunting for just one of those rare beings. The house was finished, the eats were ready, and the night arrived. The evening was filled with the usual stunts, and in addition, unusual palm-reading by Mr. Smith and Mrs, Fairbanks. Early in December it was announced that Helen James had been married at her home. This made the first break in our class. As Mrs. Martin Mathison she is keeping house at Liberty Court. A Christmas party was given December 23 for the house girls at which each re- ceived a surprise package. A Christmas tree was on the table and the gifts were piled around it. Early next morning we left for home. After the holidays we missed another member of our class. Elizabeth Atkinson, and six weeks later came the message of her death, due to influenza followed by acute diabetes. She was the only one left of the original Freshman class and had made many friends in her four years. As we come toward the close of our Senior year we think with pleasure of the work done, and the friends made, and often will our minds turn back to Wallace. 11 N. S. ' 22.
