THE WEsTPoR'r HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 25 The Senior Reception. 3 To the Class of IQO8 belongs the honor of the iirst Senior reception given in the his- tory of Westport High School, a delightful precedent for future classes to follow. In a class of more than eighty members, the Op- portunity to become well acquainted is slight. It was in order to develop a more general friendship among the Seniors that the recep- tion on the 6th of March was given. The Seniors, the members of the Faculty, and 'fthe wives of those who are fortunate enough to have them -as Miss Patrick said in her speech of welcome-were the guests enter- tained at the School on that night. The Pres- ident of the Class, Arthur Moses, was unable to be present on account of illness. However, his place was ably filled by Miss Adah Pat- rick, the Vice-President, who welcomed the 'S R? guists in the name of the Class. During the evening a very interesting programme was given, as follows: .. ..Ha.zel Woillard. Piano Solo.. .. . . . . . . .Nita Abraham. . .. . .. ..Paiil.l01ies. Vocal Solo Recitation. Piano Solo. . . . . .Cyifilla H iimes. Recitatioin. . . . . .Sallie McCluetr. Piano Solo. . . . . . .Leslie Hohmaii. Vocal Solo. . . . . .Nita Abraham. .. .. .. .. .. ..MaiieEdge. Piano Solo After the programme, refreshments were served in the lunch-room, which was com- pletely transformed with bunting, Howers, and candles. Among the Senior functions of the year, this one evening will linger long with other pleasant memories of Old Westport. Study Hall Programmes. Owing to our double session this year, as well as lack of room, it has been practically impossible to have an Assembly for the en- tire School.

CLASS The close is come and through the halls are heard, As back and forth we wander 'mid the throng, The thrilling shouts, and many a farewell word Is wafted to us as we pass along. Upon the air rings out a merry song, A spirit of excitement fills the hall And breaks forth in a hundred voices strong, A hundred haoov hearts echo the call 3 And waves of rapturous melody now rise, now fall.

This same band of pupils has now become a band of scholars. The men and women of the Junior Class were, in the year 1905, but Freshmen. But even in those early days they were never notorious for their green performances, for they were, even then, a particularly well-informed class-in short, an exceptional class. Now this same band is still exceptional. The men have early acquired the noble habit of smoking, and of standing around con- versing between puffs, of politics and stocks. The women are no less exceptional. They Z3 their skirts, tie' up their hair, and don 'fMerry VVidows. But lately, very lately, a President was elected after much fierce voting. Strange to say, the feminine party, if our young ladies will allow the term, had candidates and even had officers elected. Now, we are not slur- ring the fact-far from it-for we think it the most highly rational 'thing our unpar- alleled Class has yet accomplished. VVe re- spect our lady officersg we consider them an item, and a very serious one at that. VVe hope-nay, more, we know that our untiring ability and indomitable will will car- ry us safely through our Senior year, as it has through all previous ones.
