10 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK VN new Class Night Exercises Address of Welcome Students, Teachers, and Citizens of Westerly, the Class of 1928 extends to you a most cordial welcome. Tonight we have met for our last informal gathering in this building. During our four brief and crowded years here, we have been bound together by common purposes, aims, and ideals. By tomorrow, however, this particular phase of our experi- ence will be a thing of the past. Some of us expect to attend college while others will enter immediately upon the more exacting business of life. We sincerely trust that the lessons taught in the classrooms and on the athletic field will not be forgotten in the years to come, but will be recalled to mind frequently and appreciated more than ever before. We wish to take this opportunity to thank our esteemed faculty for their kindly patience and consideration in guiding our stumbling footsteps and hope that the classes to come will appreciate them as much as we have. We desire also to tell the under classmen how highly we prize the help and co-operation they have given us during the past year. In fact, they have supported our class activities almost as well as th-e Class of 1928 itself. Last, but certainly not least, may we express to you, citizens of Westerly, our gratitude for your interest in all our undertakings, both scholastic and social. Without your help and co-operation, it would have been impossible for us to make our athletic events, our senior play, our cantata, and our numerous other entertainments, so successful. A few hours yet remain in which we may enjoy each 0ther's company in a spirit of fun and good comradeship and during the exercises tonight I invite you to listen to our chos- en representatives as they bring before you various pictures of our high school life. Let these hours, given over to jokes and revelry, be among the brightest and happiest in all your lives. -EDWIN SAWYER

THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 11 wo we-s Class istoi: W W On a bright September morning in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, one hundred and thirty-seven freshmen timidly entered the awe-inspiring and rather formidable institute of learning known as the Westerly High School. Each and everyone of us was tr-embling with excitement and it took three weeks under the guidance of Miss McIntyre to make us feel at home in our new surround- ings. Before long, however, we became well acquainted with each other and with the upper classmen and settled down to choosing officers. The following W-ere elected for the fresh- man year: . ' President ,,rrr rrr,,r r,,r ee,iV .,,rrr E d W 1 n Sawyer Vice President .. r,r, . r,,r Byron Hiscox Secretary rrrrrr Elizabeth Roan Treasurer rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre . .,..,.rr, ,Dallas Clarke Next, various school activities, athletics in particular, engaged our attention, and by the end of the year, We were proud to include among our ranks siYJ letter men. In fact, there was nothing to mar the smooth tranquility of our fresh- man year except the phantom of exams which appeared on special occasions to haunt and terrorize our childish hearts. The fall of 1925 found us superior and self-satisfied Soph- omores under a new principal, Mr. Mason. Our class leaders were confidently selected as follows: U President. ...........r....r..... , ........ l .... Byron Hiscox Vice President ..........,.. . .,.....,...
