HISTORY OF “CLASS OF . ’23” We. the Senior Class of the Edwardsville High School, being about to leave this venerable edifice, have the desire to communicate some of our remarkable acheivenients to our predecessors, the Juniors, Sophomores, and freshmen, and also to any other persons who may be interested. Hence this account. W e entered this High School in September, as have most classes, but unlike all our predecessors, we came, not “in fear and trembling, but heads up and victory in our hearts. By this, one may readily see that we showed unmistakable signs of superiority from the beginning. Even the town newspaper remarked this phenomenon in a glowing article. During our first year we kept up the high standard which we had set for ourselves and even compelled the faculty to take notice of our efforts. The second year began without any remarkable events. As Sophomores, we now enjoyed the prestige which we had so ably merited in our first year, and we did all in our power to help the poor Freshmen along and to make them feel more at home. Our “Junior year opened and the class showed itself to be the most progressive ever known in Edwardsville High. The “Junior” play, called “Mary’s Millions” was given at a theatre, a thing never dreamed of before. The “Junior-Senior Banquet,” paid for with the proceeds from the plav, was one of the best ever given, and even in the graduating exercises of the “Class of -2. we shone, for they could scarcely have graduated without our willing and eager aid. Having seen three classes depart from the “Alma Mater” always leaving a few of their members behind, we determined that this should not be the case with us and began our fourth year with unsurpassed zeal. The whole year was one of undiminished activity. We gave a party in the gym for the “Juniors and later on came our class play, which was a great success. Immediately after the “Class Day” program we entertained the faculty as a parting remembrance. And now that we. in our turn are leaving the scenes of four years of happiness and achievement, we hope that wherever we go, we shall find as much that is really worth while as we have in these four years in E. H. S. In conclusion, we wish to say that although we hate to think of leaving the school forever, we are glad to leave the heritage of the “Senior Class” to the present “Juniors.” for we know that it is a heritage well worth while and we hope that they will appreciate it to the uttermost. So ends our “History” and may each succeeding class feel as loyal and grateful to this school of ours, as we do, the “Class of ’23.” 24 —Dorothy Schwarz ’23.
