Class Song: The Noble Six (Tune of Till We Meet Again ) There ' s a class in this school of small number, Of quality not quantity, you see. Sure it is not often said That we ' re light in the head, And famous we ' re all sure to be. Sarah, Ruth, Emma, Ruth, Nellie, Charlie, The noblest of students you see. And tho lacking in boys We ' re not short of joys, This quality class of nineteen. CHORUS: The noble six we now present to you. And we ' re about to say our last adieu. Tho we ' re few, we ' re not so small ; And we ' re loyal, loyal, all; We ' ll sing your praises all the wide world o ' er And we ' ll bring good luck right to your dcor. We are the class of two plus four, — Senior Ac ' s, you see. SEMIOR ACADEMIC CLASS HISTORY The date, September 10th, 1918, determined that the number of the Senior Academic Class was to be only six. It was then we decided that we must make up in quality what we lack in quantity, and we chose Quality not Quantity, as our motto. There are reasons for our class ' being limited to this small number. Some of our former members were called to take their places in the ranks of the sreat world war, while others left school to take the places made vacant by those who were with the colors. Still others left at the beginning of their senior year to join the short course class to prepare for immediate service in teaching. Although our class is small in number one can not accuse us of taking a small part in affairs, ether in school or out. Three of our number have been successful teachers, and one of these three has been secretary of the rural section of the State Educational Association. One of our class has been president of the Y. W. C. A. and a delegate from this organization to its summer conference at Eagle ' s Mere, while others of our number have been cabinet members of the Y. W. C. A. Also the secretary-treas- urer of the student body and two members of the Mound board were chosen from our class. One of the two highest average grades made by the members of the three senior classes was made by a member of our class. Part of our number have taken active part in the athletics of the school, and the whole class took part in the Shakespearean play presented in Chapel. But now our school days at F. S. N. S. will soon be over. We shall go to other schools for training along our chosen vocations. As we think back on our school days we shall have pleasant mem- ories associated with them. We shall also think of our loyal class officer. Miss Ethel Ice, who was ever ready to help us when called upon, and it is partly due to her that we have had such success. Now that we must soon leave this school we shall not forget our motto, but carry it on through life, so that our Alma Mater will never have occasion to be ashamed of her small class of ' 19. E. M. P.- ' 19. Fifteen

Ethel Ice, a. b. C7ass Adviser and Dean of Women. SENIOR ACADEMIC CLASS POEM Come join hands and sing with me The praises of the best of classes, Which is composed of just one boy And five bright, jolly, happy lasses. Tho we are few in number I ' m sure you will agree There never was a better class, And few as fine as we. We go about our work each day With a quiet determination That we will always do our best And try to shun temptation. And when the time has come, at last. When here our work is ended, Sadness, pride, and happiness In our hearts will all be blended. For we have loved our dear old school — Yes, we have loved it dearly — And when we turn our faces hence You ' ll see our grief clearly. But we ' ll not grieve so very long, For life is not for grieving ; But rather making others glad. True joy in turn receiving. And could it be that we should fail With such a happy creed? No, I am sure you all will see That in each deed we will succeed. Ruth Muscrove, ' 19. Sevenieei
