Seninr Gllaaa iliiatnrg V September, 1915, having successfully weathered the troubled sea of former teachers, we embarked sixty-two strong and- weak upon the un- chartered wastes of High School Xhfisdom. Wlandering over the hill we were mistaken for the anemones of the sea. due to brilliant greenncss. Guided by the wise and sagacious pilot Chester W'ilhite, now a sailor boy, we managed to choose the very appropriate colors of green and white, white for our ex- treme innocence and green for pathetic mental state. NVith such a desolate outlook this doubtful raw product after under- going the rigorous cultivation of our conscientious faculty. bloomed forth as the glorious class of '19. 1fVe passed with slight casualties the customary. barbarous practice of ducking the innocent and harmless, under the quencher of enthusiasm. NVE: enjoyed, as the young should, the bread and milk served at the Freshman- Sophomore reception. Thus were we fittingly introduced into Citrus. Having overcome our greenness, we managed to absorb the real Citrus spirit and became proud of our magnihcent class. VVe developed some great debaters in Richard Petty and Ruth Needham. Our track champions, Julius Anderson and Fred Judson, took medals in interscholastic meets. In fact, we were the best Freshman class and well prepared to take up our duties as Sophomores. During our Sophomore year, with our superior knowledge, we abolished the cruel and barbaric custom of ducking the Freshman. To our debaters were added Rosemary Langford, Grace Bigelow and Mary Brown CMoniaU. Then without much excitement we began our career as the juniors. As a class we will be long remembered. Jack Rounds. Harold Cheno- weth, Clarence Hoag and VVilliam Holmes were winning honors in track. Then the famous operetta in which our nightingale, Phyllis Brunjes took leading part. For fun the picnics, the boat rides and bathing might be mentioned. Also we received our beautiful class sweaters, the envy of others and the joy and pride of ourselves. In the course of events, as all classes do, we became known as dignified Seniors. But we did not come in as the common run of classes for was this not the year of eleven weeks vacation? In the Lyceum we went over the top surpassing other years. Among other things we substituted the wonderful method of vacation camouliaged as Tramp Day. During this year and other years everyone knows it was the Class of '19 that was at the top of the charts for high grades and at the bottom for low grades. Of course, this made the other classes envious but due to our great knowledge they could never equal us, try as hard as they might. Then notice our young soldiers. Major Holmes, Captain Snow, Lieu- tenants LaFetra and Rounds, Adjutant Hoag, besides all our noncoms. There is quite a military air since we are Seniors. VVith the spirit of courage and bravery and this spirit that wins, we leave you Dear Old Citrus and proceed to conquer greater worlds. 30
