B|g fi Pl OOR AIN FOLK 1 A Senior Class Meeting It was Tuesday, to be more exact it was one forty-five. Now you who have known Wallace this last year will probably ask if Miss Lue was not hearing her Seniors at- tempt to slay Virgil. She was not. After hearing our plea for Virgil and also for a class meeting she had consented to let him rest and to give us the time to discuss our very im- portant affairs. You understand, of course, that there are matters of very great im- portance to discuss for you see we are Seniors. The minutes of the last meeting had been read. The ways and means committee, and every one else for that matter, had argued themselves out of breath. All the lat- est acquirements in the way of men had been duly discussed and for the first time since the meeting opened one could hear oneself think. Where do you suppose we shall all be a year from now? It was Jinny Arm- strong and for the last few minutes she had been thinking. I will be having a good time. I am sure of that. Liz Hill was merely stating a fact we all knew. It does seem queer to think that m such a short time we will be scattered every- where. It was hardly expected from Dot Fink, still she looked very serious as she said it. The grins diminished and even the men were forgotten at this. I suppose Geneva and I shall be struggling with energetic children next year, at- tempting to teach them their A, B, C ' s, remarked Nelle. Yes, and Margaret and I also. agreed Clara, looking at Margaret with a smile. Well you may be struggling with them but I will be struggling with more books. How I wish you could gel a college education without having to go. or at least to study, sighed Elizabeth. You don ' t suppose any more of us will be married do you? queried Audrey. Not you, anyway, laughed Betty Shaaf. There isn ' t any doubt about Frances observed Margaret. She will just con- tinue to break hearts. No one has a right to be so good looking. Well, said Sara, I am not quite sure what I will do. But probably I shall go to college next year. And so it went on. Each one knew just what she was going to do or be and if she didn ' t some one else did. Janice could not quite decide whether to be a movie actress or be married. We thought her quite pretty enough for either. Betty Boyd said her life work would be to cook her father his breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven times a week. Just then someone remembered it was late and that Miss Gee was waiting for a music lesson. So with quaking knees she hastened off to the studio, while we decided to meet sometime in the future, and leaving all cares behind us to discuss the happenings of the intervening years. Won ' t it be interesting to see us then? We may be gray and oh, I wonder if any of us will still have it bobbed? B. B. ' 22. 35

General School History Minnie Cummings, Ellen Ruth Ure, Rose White, and parties given by the Patrick ' s Day As the class of 1919 left an account of their graduation exercises in their Year Book it IS not necessary for us to retell their work. 1 hat following summer nothing of great importance happened and in the fall school started off in earnest. There were ten girls in the Senior class. These girls being very ambitious, immediately directed all their interests to their school work. This wonderful class of 1920 included Anna Bradley, Mane Foster, Helen Giles. Ethel Knowlton, Bernice Smith, Margaret Wilson and Nelle Ruff. 1 he main entertainments of this year were the spreads day pupils of the Senior class, including the mock wedding and the St party, which were two of the most successful events. Toward the close of the year many recitals were given by the pupils of the music department. On Graduation day Dr. Ure addressed the class on the Broader Vision, for us a never-to-be-forgotten inspiration, given to a class he had loved because of his one daughter ' s interests here for the four years. We then lunched together at the Chit- tenden and said good-bye. In spite of the smallness and uniqueness of this class of 1 92 1 , the spirit was one to be remembered. There was first the president, Helen Glass; vice-president, Naomi Bryan; secretary. Corinne Ross; treasurer, Mildred Jenkins. In their first days they started out with their colors high having chosen old rose and silver. The Sophomores surprised them with a Hallowe ' en party in their honor. Next the Juniors gave them a luncheon at Grace Petit ' s home; this was followed by a theater party at the Majestic. The next happening was a Senior theater party at Keiths followed by a spread at the home of Helen Glass. The mid-term examinations arrived and everyone held her breath as the grades were announced, but all were most fortunate. The rest of the year passed in a quiet manner. In the spring graduation was hailed with joy and with sorrow for Wallace days were nearly ended. On Sunday the baccalaureate was given by Rev. Pocock. Graduation Day arrived, and the four, dressed in white, carrying roses and lillies of the valley went down the aisle at Carnegie Library, and after an interesting address by Dr. Burnett were presented their diplomas. Dr. Eagleson dismissed us with his blessing. An innovation comes this year in way of a Camp School to be established at Toms River, New Jersey. Last year Miss Lue travelled and studied with a small company of girls, spending the greater part of the summer at Toms River. This is a quiet, restful place, six miles from the ocean, where mornings were spent in study, or craft work, and the remainder of the day in bathing, hiking, driving, or in play of some sort. The summer proved so interesting that this year a real camp for work and play is to be established. Miss Ruth White will be the director and Miss Wallace will assist. Mornings will be given to supervised work, and afternoons and evenings to all the interesting out-door life furnished by pines, river, bay and ocean. Mr. Mitnitzky will be in attendance to direct mornings of work in piano and history of music. Week-end trips will be taken, and many interesting places will be visited by the Ohio party on the way to and from the camp. M. D. ' 22. 37
