Senior Class History Class Colors—Green and Gold Motto—“What you do. do well Flower—Pansy ND so it came to pass in tin first year of the reign ol llickok that twenty-nine Freshmen gathered at the old Eau Claire High School. Yes, we were Presides and were a little fresh sometimes, but we managed to get along with the Sophomores very nicely. When May rolled around we, or most of us, had the required amount of credits to our favor. In our Sophomore year we tended to our school work and kept the I-resides hair clipped, so they could save the barber bill for class dues. By this time we were represented in athletics to the extent that the entire first Basket Ball learn were members of our class and we were well paid by being sent to the state tour- nament at Ypsi. As Juniors we became more and more versed in society and partook in all the social activities of the school. It was this year that we undertook and conquered advanced mathematics and physics. This year we were unfortunate enough to have to go to school in the old Christian Church and we were under the greatest disadvantages, e. g., sitting three deep in a church pew. As we rounded the curve and started on the homeward stretch, we encountered entirely new surroundings in that we entered the new high school with a line gym and a laboratory. This year we have made a better showing than ever before, profiting, no doubt, by our past experience. We have passed through the crucible and have stood the test. Thus far, we have succeeded in our earnest endeavors and we hope that we may in the future make history as creditably as in the past. J. HIKKHOI.M F. LAYMAN E. TIDEY Page Fourteen
