The Senior Class H istorv
thirteen years ago the charter member of the Class of ’28 entered the portals of the llartrldge School. This toddling kindergartner was Corneil Robison, who many years later was to distinguish herself as a
hockey and basketball player. In the fourth elementary she was joined
by our golden-curled class president, Anne Moment, by Barbara Graham, of the quiet voice and lovely features, and by Dorothy O’ Brien, our
embryo newspaper correspondent. The class entered its last year In the elementary augmented by Shirley Clark with her gracious manner and those “big blue eyes.”
Our future hope for the Metropolitan and clever equestrienne, Vir­ ginia Sykes, came to swell our ranks in the sub-freshman class. We started our journey through the Academic with a great burst of brilliancy,
for though young and untried we succeeded in defeating every class but the Seniors in basketball that year.
Second Academic was a gala year as far as new members were con­ cerned, for that year saw the coming of Jane Alston, the capable president of the Glee Club and a singer indispensable to its ranks; Virginia Hamdton,
president of the Athletic Association and one of the star athletes of our class; Constance Van Duyn, president of the Dramatic Society and an actress of great ability and charm; and Peggy Wemple, who is possessed
of a great deal of good sportsmanship and sparkling wit.
In third Academic we hrst enjoyed the friendship of our gentle, quiet musician, Janet Dunning; and of Hess Houghton, capable and brilliant editor-in-chief of the Annual.
As Juniors we rejoiced in the hockey championship of the school, and in this our Senior year we have repeated that \-ictory. We have recently welcomed to our midst Virginia Howell, who speaks so beautifully, and Mavin Hamilton, our star French student. After we have left school, we
hope that the memory of our athletic prowess and generous sprinkling of literary, musical, and artistic talent will linger in the minds of those we
leave behind, rather than our fatal capacity for making noise.
D. o’r., ’28.
