CLASS HISTORY Page Nineteen This was the year of the first Al- umni Pageant in which many pupils took part and it proved to be a per- fectly wonderful resource in the way of excuse for absence or unprepared lessons. As soon as the weather grew warm enough for the windows to be open, we fortunate members who sat in Miss Hallis room, each contributed our two cents, and lo--the window was decorated by a p-ansy box of the largest and most luxuriant type, and each could have one pansy every other week. On June 2 came our second and last social of the year, a character party. Phil Kingsbury kept us in gales of laughter all the evening and finally took a prize for the most ridiculous costume. Mr. Burke took iiash-light pictures at ten o'clock and then we dispersed after a hearty cheer for 1918, deciding that socials were jolly affairs. Then came our grand dramatic ef- fort of the year, Pyramus and Thisbe, presented by the A division in Room 17. On this occasion Danny Rubens, well-known matinee-idol, took the audi- ence by storm by heroically dying in a corner and then rolling over to the middle of the stage. Near the end of June the girls of the entire school held a track meet at the athletic field, the iirst event of its kind recorded in the archives of Waltham High School. Although ev- ery girl went into every event, Edna Oliver usually managed to come out with the blue ribbon. We had de- barred the boys that afternoonvbut a few had reserved seats under the grand stand and used them unknown to the authorities in charge through- out the entire affair. This was the last event of the year except one, Leslie's adoption of a startling new hair-comb which Immediately re- ceived a unanimous vote of approval. On June 22, with tears streaming down our faces, we were forced to abandon our studies for nine long weeks. However, these weeks did not prove so monotonous as we had ex- pected and before we knew where the time had gone, we were back at school for our Junior year. This year We were so much above such triiies that we did not mind the crowd of little people with curls who again invaded our domain. Early in the year we held a meet- ing and chose our oflicers for the year. Eugene Powers was re-elected Presi- dent, Isabelle Dauncey, Vice-President, and Albert Bent, Auditor, and Edna Oliver, was elected Secretary and Treasurer. The girls instituted a new sport this year. Field hockey was played very strenuously during the fall at Bicycle Park under the guidance of Miss Mon- ahon. Under the titles of Army and Navy we played many Wild games, especially when Miss Hall joined with us. In foot-ball we again won the cham- pionship of the school. As far as lessons went, this was our hardest year. Some few of us started out bravely with a fixed re- solve to conquer the French language, but although we have been at it ever since, we have not yet accomplished that fact. Our only rays of pleasure were caused by Stedman's struggles with his vowels and the rare occasion when Miss Wilson began the lesson in German. When we were not sneezing over our French, it was algebra which troubled us, and between quadratic equations and fractional exponents, it is a wonder Miss Pratt did not finish us all. As for Latin, we had always been' led to believe that Spanish was the only real language to swear in, .., A A
