Robert Ludwin was chosen for the Class Editor. The Senior Class has been unusually small this year. Although in September there were thirty-three seniors registered, at the pres¬ ent there are only twenty-seven members. The war and other causes this year have brought about this decrease in the enrollment. Robert Ginoc- chio and George Libby have both entered the service and thus will not be able to attend the Commencement exercises. During the school year socials were held by the Senior Class which proved to be both social and financial successes. On May 6. the Senior Class presented three one-act comedies, to¬ gether with musical novelties. It was well accepted by the audience and proved to be not only a financial success, but also a welcome change from the usual three-act comedy. The Seniors presented the Armistice Day assembly program in the school auditorium last November. On May 31, the Seniors left for New York City, where they spent three days visiting many places of interest. After returning from New York they became busy with exams. Following the exams they ended a successful year with the Class Night Program on June 11, and the Commencement exercises on June 18.
