Bobby, the younff son, lras been expelled from six Mprepw schools, is being threatened by the house- maid for breach of promise, and is in love with his sister's governess. Cora, the daughter, is having an affair with a grass widower. Mr. Wheeler, the father, is distracted because his wife, Fanny, is jealous of Corais gov- crness. Into this tangled situation comes the unsuspecting Clarence, a dilapidated ex-soldier looking for a job. Clarence is taken home as a handy man, captures the affections of every woman in the household, smoothes out all difficulties, and marries the governess. The play made an evening of continuous and hearty laughter. Class Song lTune: Happy Days Are Here Againl The time has come for us to leave, The parting's sad and we shall grieve, But in our future we believe As we say farewell to you. We owe our thanks to Waterville For educating us until Weive learned a place in life to fill As we say farewell to you. Our carefree schooldays have passed, Weire on our own now at last. Teachers fine and schoolhouse great We've learned to love and appreciate' Let us sing our thanks and graduate As we say farewell to you. 7

During the year several members left the class. and others came to take their places. lda Smith left in January to become a senior. Anne and Phyllis Thomson moved to Canton. and Helen Tarbox had to leave school because of illness. The class received two recruits from North Brookfield, Horace Wescott came from Syracuse and Carl Boland from Cazenovia. On April 29 the class received their junior rings which were very at- tractive. During the winter the juniors sponsored two dances after basket- ball games, and they held a very successful and enjoyable junior prom on May 17, 1935. The junior class was well represented this year in athletics and the other extra-curricular activities which have been established. They are es- pecially proud to have as a member of their class Janet Reese who dis- tinguished herself as a public speaker. She won the first prize for girls at Vllaterville, at the sectional contest held in Chadwicks. and the county contest in Rome. Altogether, the juniors have done very well for themselves this year, and they hope to further their activities in the years to come.
