Senior (Hass IHistory E, the Seniors of the Clearwater High School, think we had the most eventful as well as the most interesting history of any class in previous years. Entering the high school in the fall of 1917, we have toiled and labored through four long years. It seemed to us as we entered the study hall on that never to be forgotten first day of our high school career that we were at last to realize our dreams. The faculty were very kind to us at first, and gave us a small por- tion of Latin and Algebra until we were able to feed ourselves. We felt very proud of our first report cards, but not so our parents, since they advised us gently but firmly to burn the midnight oil. However, we all slipped through the Freshman year very creditably and looked forward with not a little anxiety but with great expectations to our second spasm. During our Freshman year the Sophomores very kindly condescended to give us a party, and though they were rather superior to us, showed us a very good time. Our class was well represented in athletics as well as other high school doings that first term. The second time we climbed the stairs to the study hall we felt none of our old shyness as in the previous year, but had the feeling that we had come up in the world, and could now look down on anything in the shape of a freshman, or freshwoman, either one. But we found that we would have to come down from our lofty height since the Seniors were not in symoathy with our attitude. We lost very few members of the old class during the freshman year and so felt very proud of our ’21 assembly. In our Soph, year we settled down to work at once, or- ganized a class, elected Jim Brumby president and began to do things. We had for our motto, “Impossible is Un-American,” and believe me we lived up to it too. We helped in all the high school affairs and were represented in athletics by several of the members of our class. Dur- ing our Soph, term we gave the Freshies a party and also had a party of our own. Again we looked forward with pleasure to the time when we should enter the portals of C. H. S. as Juniors. On our return to the happy hunting grounds at the beginning of the year we found some few new recruits, but missed Jim, our president; Annette Griffin, Norman Allen and Paul Moore. Although our class was crippled without the presence of these loyal members, we managed to do big things in our Junior year. Edwin Posser made a very capable Twenty-three
