We have so many delightful prospects in the near future that we cannot even force our¬ selves to put on the long face and gloomy mein that are supposed to belong to those who have reached their second year in high school. From the tops of our heads to our very toes, we fairly tingle with enthusiasm at the thought of our fine new school building and the share that we shall have in helping to build and furnish it. How we fairly want to shout for joy when we think of recitation rooms that are well lighted, scientifically ventilated and comfortably heated; that have pictures on the walls and growing flowers on convenient shelves. Then think, too, how we shall enjoy giving our class play on the fine stage of the new Assembly Hall! There are a thousand other things that this short space will not allow me to tell. Do you wonder, then, that we are happy and that we cheer so lustily for the loyal citizens of Cloverdale who are planning to give us all these grand things?

McMICHAEL ROBERTS WIEDERSHEIM HALL THOMPSON DE HAY SEITS DANIELS LEA $br Juniors In August 1913, seventeen blooming- lads and lassies, composing the largest class that has ever entered the portals of our High School, made their debut. Since then we have gained many honors in athletics, debating and dramatics, for it is from among us that the leaders in these activities have been chosen. At the close of three years ten remain loyal and true to the Blue and Gold. We deeply regret the loss of those who, on account of various reasons, were unable to continue the course; yet we feel proud to think that we shall enter the Senior class with double the average number. Though we are not at all conceited, we have always been noted for our dignity and austere gravity which the lower classes might do well to imitate. We are Seniors now, the leaders of our school, by right of age and ex¬ perience. We sincerely hope that 1917 will mark one of the most successful and notable years in the history of C. H. S. 13

On the twenty-third of August in nineteen fifteen, Hardly a pupil but remembers how green Were the class of 1919. 2. We resolved at the first to climb to the top; And no upper classmen could give us the stop. From morning to noon, from noon to night, We worked with a will, with all our might. Though lessons were hard, and sometimes long, We conquered them all with laughter and song. The pranks that our classmates played us at first Were received with a smile, whether better or worse. Our friends, the Seniors, to commencement are coming; Their record is fine, but we ' re still in the running. And so, if we all will stay by the ship, In three years more from C. H. S. we will skip.
