CLASS BOOK 1926A—THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL Cftatrman’si Pittas CLASSMATES, PARENTS AND FRIENDS: Jt is a time-honored custom observed by most high schools of today to set aside one night during graduation week for class festivities. Three reasons might be mentioned as justifying this departure from the more serious and formal exercises which mark so important an occasion. In the first place, since the class is soon to be disbanded and those bonds of lasting friendship which have encircled us for so many years, are to be dissolved, we would like to meet informally once more as a class. Secondly, inasmuch as there are enrolled among the members of the class some students who possess unusual talent in various capacities, we have considered it a fitting opportunity to allow those of genius to display it. And then, we wish to have with us our parents and friends who have made possible for us these four years, fillled with happy and unforgettable experiences. You now know why we hold Class Night; you should also be informed before¬ hand concerning what you may expect. The program will consist of the Class History, Prophecy, Essay, and Oration, the Class Song and other numbers. And so, at this time, we, of the Class of 1926A, take great pleasure in bidding you welcome and we hope that you may enjoy with us our Class Night program. PAUL K. B1 DWELL. 29
