K OK1JIAN enjoyed himself. We also gave a crate of oranges to the less fortunate in this village. January—Very soon after Christmas vacation we found our- selves in the midst of regents examinations. Many new members entered the class which necessitated our moving into a larger room. March—Work actually began on the year book. Joseph Willetts was elected Editor-in-Chief to be assisted by Doris Hammersley. There was a contest for the naming of the book and the winner re- ceived a prize. We gave a benefit game, Waterford Varsity vs. Water- ford Alumni and the proceeds went toward the year book. Candy was sold in the senior room. April—We held a very successful card party and dance and work on our year book progressed rapidly. May—The Junior Prom was held May 6 to which the seniors were invited. All those who attended had a good time. June—The final step in our high school will be June regents ending our days in W. H. S. Our last social event will be the Senior Ball. This, we know, will be an event worthy of the Class of ’32 and one of the happiest memories of Waterford High School.

FOR DIA N Junior Year September—On our return to school, after a wonderful vacation, we were greeted with the sad news that the Washington Club was to be abolished in the Waterford High School. Nevertheless after much deliberation and discussion we decided to continue our Club. We elected Mabel Perkins president and it was at her home that we gathered every week to hold our meetings and make plans to carry- out our ambition. November—Our first plan was to present another musical comedy as these had always been very popular with the townspeople as well as the students. This time was no exception as “Patty” proved to be very entertaining and a capacity crowd filled the auditorium both nights. December—At Christmas the Senior Class acted as host to the Senior High School. We all had a good time at this party which included a grab bag and a matinee dance. February—Much to our sorrow we came to the conclusion that it was impossible to continue the Washington Club. Lack of Co- operation in carrying out our plans and insufficient funds were the reasons. Therefore it was with deep regret that we disbanded. May—In order to keep up the custom of giving the graduating class a dance we held a food sale for the purpose of financing this undertaking. June—The Junior Prom was held June 12. with Mary Kidwell m charge. It was a colorful affair and there was a large crowd in attendance. Thus it was that we finished an eventful third year. Senior Year September—Back to school again. This time to be recognized as dignified seniors. We quickly formed a class and held an election with Warren Collins receiving the honor of president. Miss Evelvn Woelfle, a new member of the faculty, was chosen for our advisor. November—This month we decided to try something that had nevei before been attempted in this high school. It was the publish- mg ot a year book. Miss Margaret Furlong, who was experienced in this work, offered to assist us in any way possible. o December I his Christmas we held a party in the Homemaking Room. I he quartet rendered several songs and everyone thoroughly

PO R 1 I A N CLASS PROPHECY Turner Summoned to White House for Conference New developments in the plans for increasing the gold supply of the nation were negotiated today between the President and Mr. Gordon Turner, well known international banker. It was revealed today that the plans were to be similar to those negotiated by J. P. Morgan and President Cleveland in 1895, at which time Mr. Morgan was considered as Mr. Turner is today, the most powerful financial figure in America. Yanks to Play Tigars in Championship Game for American League Two teams have come down the stretch in the American League and today it is expected that the Yankees will gain the top rung of the ladder with a victory over the Tigers. The reason for this state- ment may be summed up in a few words when it is understood that King, phenomenal hurler, and Willets the great backstop will be the battery for the Yanks. King has mowed down batters in the American League relentlessly and Willetts’ pegs to bases are at times little short of miracles. Colonel Collins made the following statement this morn- ing: “1 consider the price paid for these boys, two hundred thousand dollars, a trivial sum for they are actually worth their weight in gold”. The six day bicycle race ending last evening at the Veledrome m New ork City, was won by Don Mebbs, Shell Oil Co. representa- tive. Don stated that he tirst learned to ride in Waterford, N. Y. John Drake, known to the world as the “king of toothpick manu- facturers”, arrived last night in the U. S. A. after a trip to Europe. He was aboard the S. S. Majestic. Miss Thelma Bourgeous, holding the title of “Miss Universe”, has entered the moving pictures. The premiere opening of her first picture will take place in about six months. Tomorrow evening at Carnegie Hall the piano trio, Misses Doris Hammersley and Dorothy Hemstead and Mr. Ignace Paderwski, known throughout the world as the “finger marvels” will again unite their eftorts to entertain suffering humanity. Maurice Larkins, newest motion picture “find”, will make his lust public appearance with his leading lady Miss Edna Weber, who gave such a sterling performance in Maurice’s last picture, “The Sin of the Fathers”.
