L'HISTOIRE DE LA CLASSE SENIOR Approximately four years ago our class of twenty-six freshics entered the high school,, There was much to do and to know and to find before all of the infants finally knew what subjects they were to take, what ones of the rooms they wore to take them in, and what text books were needed. After a few weeks of experience gained from frowns, from being laughed at, and scolded, from trippings, and from nods of the upper class members, we finally got inured to the high school customs and tricks--including the bells.

Later in June, the junior class, following the customary but still-liked procedure, took the senior class to Owasco for an all day picnic.
