12 -J liriory op the C la55 op 1941 We of the class of 1941 were born educationally in the kindergartens of the various Wellesley grammar schools. There it was that, with our friends, we struggled with our reading, writing, and arithmetic. Through these years new faces appeared, and old ones moved away. The pleasant elementary school life continued until we reached the Alice L. Phillips Junior High School. Our scope of friends afid acquaintances was suddenly broadened and we soon became accustomed to a new daily routine. School opened fifteen minutes earlier for us, and we had home¬ work to be prepared in the evenings. After eating lunches that were bought at the school lunch-counter, we studied until two-fifteen, when the closing bell rang. Three school years at the Junior High School gave us our basic training for more advanced work. We strove to earn school letters by the credit system, and for the first time, in the ninth grade, we chose class officers. We were hardly aware of the fact that it was possible for us to be entered in the new high school building where we were actually the first class to spend three full years. During these years, our work became increasingly difficult and our teachers, once strangers to us, soon became our friends and advisors. Even our class periods had their lighter moments, and by the senior year we were able to choose the most outstanding personalities from our class. Our class officers served us well in their various capacities, and our junior and senior proms were great successes. Thus, after many incidentals, such as being the first senior class to take mid year examinations, it came time for us to enter our senior class pictures in the yearbook. So began the severing of our relations with Senior High School life, and we commenced to think of the things we would be doing in the years after 1941. But as the year drew to a close, we felt a deep sense of regret at having to leave the life to which we had become attached, and we treasure the opportunities that were ours, to further our education that we might be better prepared to face the world about us.
