T'HE MIRROR 5 1928 Glass Eisturp September 9, l925. Who among us will ever forget that day? How could we forget the day we entered Vwvaltham High School? Of course everyone remembers the first day at 'Waltham High when we were called Hinsignificant sophs , and other uncomplignentary things by the revengeful Juniors and the lofty Seniors, who seemed to us to own the school. Some of us tried to appear unconcerned about going to high school and attempted to gain admis- sion before the eight o'clock bell, but v.e were brought down to earth with a thud in the midst of, Hey Soph, don't be too eager to get in. After waiting interminably, we were summoned to the auditorium. llt has since become the assembly hall.Q Half of us, in order not to miss anything, tried to grab the front seats, but we were doomed to disappointment and embarrassment because someone said, Sophomores to the rear, please. Mournfully we wended our way to the rear, and there thoroughly subdued, we sat in silence while the upper classes were assigned their rooms. At last ou' turn came. Wie were told the num'- ber of our roons and were also given instructions on how to find them. With those instructions we were turned loose. It was appalling to see how many could not follow di- rections properly. After much need- less wandering we found our dread- ed abode. There we were told to copy the day's program which was on the board. When the bell rang, we filed to our first class. There we were given books and assigned lessons. Can you imagine that? Lessons the first day in school! From the first day until Thanks- giving the boys devoted much of their time to football. The team, with the help of a few of our Soph- o.nore boys, had a good season, de- feating such teams as Concord Fitchburg, Haverhill, Lynn General Electric, Concord, N. H., Norwood, and Brockton. During the same time the girls did their bit in that rough game of warclubs- Field Hockey. Just before Thanksgiving, report cards were issued, and as Paine said, 'fThese are the times that try men's souls. Shortly after, the class held its first meeting in the assembly hall for the purpose of electing class officers. The officers chosen were: William Eilworthy, President, Kathryn Ja-- cobs, Vice President, Donald Pitcher. Secretary-Treasurer, Herbert Bailey, Auditor, and Marion Evans, Ath- letic Representative. During the winter months our friend, John L., had his hands full when he successfully coached the basketball and hockey teams to a winning season. The North Junior Gym was also used to good advan- tage by the girls. Then came our first social. Will we ever forget that night? Did we enjoy the games, dancing, and re- freshments? I'll say we did. 5
