Into problems such as these we plunged. Whole-heartedly backed by our townspeople, the faculty, and the underclassmen, is it any wonder that our class play Scoop,', the Annual Ball, Special Assemblies, and similar affairs had been so successful? Then came that unforgetable evening-the night of the Prom with its memories that will never grow dim-memories of lovely music, and dancing, and of gay decorations, and colorful lights.

How proud We were that first day when we flashed our rings with all their glorious splendor into the eyes of our successors. How fine everything went that year. How sturdy We felt under the leadership of all our capable instructors. And then just as every perfect thing ends, so did our Junior year, for . . . Time Mmfcbcs Olz. The ARCANA 1937
