of luniordom to the responsibility that comes with the last year of the four spent in High School. In spite of being Seniors, and grave and dignified as the term implies, the fourth-year student found they were still young enough to enjoy life. The first duty of the boys was, of course, to educate the new Juniors and teach them their place. It did not take long to accomplish this. There is not much said about those strifes, for the Seniors do not deem them worthy of mention, and the Juniors—well, have conveniently forgotten them, perhaps. But the Juniors look uncomfortable and the Seniors look wise when a certain emblem of the third year is mentioned. The days of football were thrilling and full of excitement, and when the team came off victorious with the city championship, the delight of the High School knew no bounds. The Seniors hope that next year’s team may do as well, altho with the exit of the graduating class go many of the prominent heroes. The class play was next in turn. It was more work than anyone who has never tried such things can possibly suspect, and if it had not been for the untiring help of Mr. Couper and Mr. Pendleton the Senior play might not have been any sort of success. The ’07 class offers to Mr. Couper and Mr. Pendleton the unbounded thanks which is their due. They also wish to thank those Juniors who insistently haunted the auditorium, and so materially aided the progress of the play. The social life during Senior year was especially delightful. The Juniors have much to anticipate. Altho this last year has surpassed all others in glory and renown, the truly eventful and wonderful days lie ahead. There is much to be done in the few weeks that remain. With class day, and baccalaureate, and lastly graduates to close this chapter in our lives, what more could one wish? The Seniors hope the Juniors will enjoy their last year as much as the ’07ers have enjoyed this. East High School has given the Seniors much, more than they can ever repay. As the Seniors leave it for the joys and responsibilities of college and university, it is with more than one pang of regret. One thing is certain. East Side High School may always rest assured of the loyalty and love of the class of 1907. —Margaret B. Clark, Valedictorian. 32
