F. H. S. 1919 Class History-—War of 1915-19 On September 6, 1915, the Class of 19 entered F. H. S. and immediately war was declared. A naval battle was fought in which every Freshman ship was sent to the bottom. All the upper classes were allied and the strife continued thruout the year. The Sophomore year was more quiet, except a great victory over the Freshmen. During this year three of our boys joined the Navy. As Juniors, the class had several escapades, one resulting in the class being suspended by the War Lords. The Junior-Senior Prom was one of the most successful in the History of the school, an armistice being in effect at the time. A Liberty bond was bought during the year. The last year of the war was the least eventful of all. The “Flu” stopped most of the rivalry in sports except track, when the Seniors made the enviable record of capturing the Track Cup for the third successive time from the enemies, and thus earned the right to engrave the class name upon it. The cadets were formed this year and the Senior boys occupy two commissioned offices and five non-coms. This class has established five records- The largest Freshmen class in the history of the school, the only class with its name on the track cup. a percentage of 100 in cadet offices, and a larger percentage intending to go to college. Peace was declared with everybody this year and we stood back to watch the rest in their fight for Knowledge. —Joe Hamblet, Jr.
