4- 4- Radiograph 4- 4- l 9 I 9 'fThe Class History FTER I had accomplished and Hnished divers histories, as well of contemplation as of other worldly acts of great conquerors and princes, and also books of doctrine, many nobles and people of the realm of Learning came and demanded of me, where- fore I have not made and printed the noble history of the Class of IQIQ of Winona High School. The drama contained in the following pages has nothing to commend it to the attention or good will of the public. It has not won for itself the literary sympathy of men of taste. It presents itself, therefore, to the public gaze-friendless. ln the beginning of the ninth month of the year one thousand nine hundred and fifteen, the Winona High School was favored with the presence of an exceptionally talented Fresh- man Class. ln order to keep us in the best of condition, the school authorities decided to pay attention to our health. So logically, we were put under the care of 'Mr. Meyers, Prof. of Physiology, where we learned the importance of All Science. lt is the fate of all those who toil in the lower positions of life to be exposed to censure without hope of praiseg to be disgraced or punished for neglect, where success would have been without applause, and industriousness without reward. Among these unhappy mortals is the Freshmen. With much worry and very little trouble we finished our Freshman year and were elevated in the institution of Learning to the grade of Sohpomore. This time we-were left to the mercy of Miss Bell to be Hnishecl off and made fit subjects to enter the new Senior High School building the next semester. The year was very much as uneventful as the year before-only the entrance into the new building and the excitement of locating different teachers and the class rooms, broke the monotony. As Juniors we were put under the supervision of Miss Heiberg. Miss Bell, who had the previous year been the Junior Asembly Room teacher, had resigned. She had been our Assembly teacher once and the prospects of having us again were too much for her. The United States had gone into the war, and we, to show our patriotism, saved our money and bought a liberty bond which we gave to the school. The boys in France had to be kept warm and We were asked to help solve the problem-so we made trench candles. Everywhere could be found strips of paper, and some industrious Juniors making candles. But for all our hard work we only got the insulting report that the infant Sophomores had made more candles than we had. Of course there was some mistake in taking the census of the candles or else someone was envious of us and was trying to spoil our reputation, so we overlooked the report and the Sophomores and went on with our Red Cross work. One day the students of the whole school were startled by the sound of wonderful music coming from the Junior Room. They wasted no time in finding out that we were develop- ing our taste for good music by listening to records of songs sung by noted singers. These minor incidents led up to theclimax of the Junior year-the Prom. We changed from the usual plan and had our party for the Seniors at the Parish House. To carry out our war principles, we followed the strictest of conservation programs. - And then-we became Seniors. We started our final year with election of officers. Harold, who had served us so well as President when we were Juniors, was re-elected. Douglas was made Vice-President and Stewart Cosgrove, Treasurer with Paul finishing out the year after Stewart left the class. Margaret was elected Secretary. The Football season started early in the fall and many of the heroes were Senior Boys. Soon after the Football season came Basketball, and here again some of the Senior Boys were found in the game, with the rest of the Class backing them. We had, by the beginning of April, chosen our Class Play, The Manoeuvres of Jane, and the cast had started on its work.. Toward the end of the year we Seniors abandoned our usual self possession and dashed from one room to another in a most undignified manner in an attempt to keep three or four appointments at once. Never had we been so busy or in such demand. And in the midst of all this distraction, we were expected to develop our poetic in- stincts and compose poetry. The results of our noble efforts were quite astonishing. At least two of the class will develop into a Browning or a Keats. I5
