Excerpt from Abbot Academy Class Book, 1915 It was with great awe that we took our places in Abbot Hall to hold our first class meeting to elect Officers for our senior-middle year. It was hard to realize that we were at last a real class and having the privilege Of voting, but when the meeting was adjourned we felt capable of conquering worlds. The most important events of the year were the play, which from our point of view was a success, and the class banquet, which was really the first time we were all together as a class. It gave us a feeling of union and made us realize just what it meant to be loyal members of the class Of nineteen fifteen. The year was brought to a close by the gift Of the Senior Parlor, on which occasion we for the first time received a sense of the significance and the deep solemnity of the Senior year. At the beginning Of the year we immediately began to make use of the luxury Of the newly-decorated Senior Parlor, in which our class meeting for election of officers was held. The next landmark of this memorable year was the never-to-be-forgotten Senior Picnic. After a wonderful spread a very select entertainment was furnished by members of the class, and a fitting close to a glorious lark was the moonlight and tuneful ride back to school. The time between this and mid-years was filled with good, hard work, but we received our adequate reward in the four days' outing at Intervale in the White Mountains, which we have since relived many times and the memory of which will never cease to be an inexhaustible source of enjoyment. Our Senior year has not been all smooth sailing. Our trials and tribulations came in ample quantity while rehearsing for the Senior play; however, the memory Of the unpleasant past has been banished by the memory of the unexpected and overwhelming success which attended the final production.
