......CLASS HISTORYM... HISTORY, according to Suley, grat- ifies the curiosty of the reader about the past, modifies his views of the present, and his forecast of the fu- ture. Every organization has a his- tory. In some instances it is a noble one, and one of which its makers may well be proud. Gur attention is usually directed to the exploits of great men and the rise of nations form petty sovereignties to world powers. We seldom think of the histories that are being formed from day to day by the organized classes in our public schools. It will prove interesting without doubt to those who have not been associated with us during our life in the High School to learn something of our rise from obscurity in the grammar school to an enviable place of prominence among the powers which have dominated the halls of Old Central during the past four years. While we were yet a comparatively obscure organization in the grammar school, the marked advancement which we had made in literary pursuits had been noted by the enlight- ened bodies which had gone before us.

During our Freshmen year our forces were divided, the girls being placed under the watchful eye of Miss Smith, while the boys were assigned to the care of Miss Sperry. As a class we were possessed of that happy gift of independence which is necessary to success, and when we were called upon to march into chapel for the first time, we did it with all the dignity and self-assurance that we could muster up, thus gain- ing the favor and admiration of the upper classes. Mr. Curtis was our principal then, and gave us a most hearty welcome. After his pleasing address, we went to our respective rooms, and at last realized that we were indeed members of Adrian High School. We certainly commenced this new period of our history under the most auspicious circumstances. Our forces were large, and a more active, energetic and ambitious company of
