Senior ,Class History One golden September day of 1919, sixteen boys and girls entered the thresholds of G. T. H. S. as Freshmen bent upon graduation from High School. The Upper Classmen called us Greenies but we studied hard and finally succeeded in dispelling our distinguishing quality. The next year an even dozen returned as Sophomores. We were all glad to return after our vacation and to realize that the first milestone of our educational journey had been passed. We took part in the school play given in our Sophomore yearg also at the close of the term we gave a re- ception for the Seniors. In theufall of 1921 sixteen students assembled, in the halls of learning at Georges High School. as Juniors. The class was now divided, part of them taking the general course, the others taking up Commercial work. Fifteen were promoted while one deserted the ranks. Last Fall twenty again renewed friendship. We were glad to welcome seven new members, three of whom came from Smithfield. So it may seem that there will be more graduated than there were that took up the trials and temptations of Freshmen. We might now consider the social side of our high school days. Many happy times have we enjoyed at our numerous parties and picnics. In our Junior year we gave a box social. We are always up and doing in literary societies and athletics. We boast of two varsity basketball players. The many readings, essays and debates given by the members of our class have been of great value. Now as our Senior year draws to a close we are practicing for the annual Senior Class Play. At last in the year 1923 we have reached our goal, graduation. We came to this school to obtain higher ideals and broader views on all of the many problems of life confronting us. This high school course has better prepared the members of the class of '23 to fit into their niche in life. It matters not how much book knowledge we have acquired if we have but learned the ideas of decency and righteousness. The world does not ask you how much you know but what is your character, ability, and disposi- tion. Thanking the teachers and pupils for kindness shown to us, we bid you adieu for the last time in High School. Wisdom is a defence, And money is a defence 5 But the excellency of knowledge . Is that wisdom giveth life to them that hath it. -WA YNE SCHWAB, '23. 24

Senior Class Poem ...l.. -.1 W6,1'6 about to the end of our High School days, Just a few more months to spend. I We've completed our tasks in many ways And now these days will end. S0 in future days when we grow old, And begin to live in repose. We'll remember our colors as Blue and Gold And our flower as a large White Rose. But our memories still willilinger 'Ihese days we can't forget, And in future days we'll wonder About the loving friends we've met. The hour for parting is drawing near And we all have hopes to win, So, we'll follow our motto everywhere, We finish but to begin. We'll climb to higher levels Though our paths may be steep and dark. Farewell, to the class of '23, For the best of friends must part. ' -MAUDE SUTTON, '23 25
