Class History We. the class of 18. entered the Florence High School in the fall of 1914 with an enrollment of about fifty members. After two years of trials and tribulations, from which we emerged triumphant, we entered high school in our Junio. year, with more spirit than our class had ever known. In our Junior year we regretted very much the leaving of two of our most popular class mates. Ralph and Roy Roath. These boys joined Uncle Sam’s forces and we have everj right to be just as proud of them as we are. This year also we showed our ability to entertain when we acted as hosts to the Senior class at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The present year has marked the height of our school career. We have’ upheld our record this year by buying a Liberty Rond, having everyone in the class a member of the Athletic Association, and dispersing Knowledge and Rearing to our less fortunate schoolmates. With this record of efficiency and success in all lines, we trust that when we pass into the great battle of life we will rapidly rise to places of honor and importance —INA HAWKINS.
