QACADEMIC UNION OUR NEW GYMNASIU M tory, is outfitted with the best attainable fixtures. These rooms will be the scenes of many public activities in which all may take part and enjoy. While we are mentioning our benefactors I think we should pause to note the people who have founded prizes in our school. Most of these prizes were given some time ago and have become so well known we need not mention them. But through the centralization of our school another prize is added, that of Mrs. William Cary Sanger, who gave 351,000 for the Sangerfield school. When this school joined the new district, the money came under new jurisdiction. It was decided to found a new prize or prizes with this money. Wlith Mrs. Sangeris consent, a scholar- ship prize for each one of the four high school classes was founded, a first and a second prize in each class. I am sure there is not another school of our size which has as many prizes for scholarships, oratory, essays, and exceptional brilliancy in some one high school subject, as we have. We should consider ourselves very lucky. The school will be used for the graduation exercises this year and at some fu- ture date, not yet decided on, it will be dedicated. The senior ball will be held in the Gymnasium. Wfe hope that the alumni and townspeople will come to these func- tions in order that they may see the new school. However, I think that we of the Junior Class are the luckiest in having the privilege of being the first ones to be graduated from the school after a full year to enjoy its advantages. In closing, I Want to thank everyone who had any part in forwarding this project in behalf of all who will benefit from it. Rosalie Randall.

QAICADEMIC U IO The Seniors HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1930 ln the years of 1917 and 1918, thirty-nine pupils were registered in the first grade of the Wateryfille Primary Department. Of that number seven have com- pleted their high school career together. They are Lucile Barrett, Pauline Byrnes, Eleanor Lewis, Grace King, Gertrude Jackson, Margaret McCabe and Alice Christen- sen. Many of the original class have left us during the twelve years and have prob- ably become graduates of other schools. Dorothy Head came from Brothertown to join our ranks in the third grade, and, during our high school career, Marian Kemp, Lucile Jewett, Eleanor Wood, George Buane, Charlon Berry, Alice King, Irene Tepolt and Lois Martin have also become members of the class. During our first 'ear to ether, we demonstrated our atriotism b f buvinff war , 1- U . 5 U P I . D stamps and knitting useful articles for the boys 'tar-ross. The next seven years passed rather uneventfully, marked only by our graduation from the primary building and eighth grades, respectively, and the selection of our class pins in the eighth grade. In our 'unior 'ear we again had a chance to demonstrate our ffood taste bv se- . 1 2 U. . U M lectmv our class rinfrs. During this ear, also, our class oHicers were elected as D Ya b n b I n a s follows: Grace King, president, Lucile Barrett, vice president, and Eleanor Lewis, secretary and treasurer. Mariam Kemp, Lucile Barrett and Charlon Berry have proved their oratorical ability by partaking in the Talcott Prize Speaking Contests, while other members of the class have won various essay and mathematic prizes. Lucile Barrett, Pauline Byrnes, Gertrude Jackson, Grace King, and Lucile ,Iewett are members this year of the Academic Union Board. Gertrude Jackson, George Ruane, Pauline Byrnes and Alice King have distinguished themselves also by their excellent skill on our basket- ball teams. Altogether, our twelve years together have been pleasant ones, and we look for- ward eagerly to our graduation and commencement exercises. Alice Christensen.
