SENIOR CLASS HISTORY. (By Helen G. Roycroft). In the fall of 1914, fifty-six of the Class of 1918, entered the portals of the German Township High School with very good intentions. Under the tutelage of capable instructors we were destined to learn the whys and wherefores of the problems of life. Among our class-mates were some earnest students whose sole purpose and desire was to receive a practical education; and others there came, not knowing why, unless it was because they had been sent. As for the latter the course proved a decided struggle and unfortunately failed to achieve the desired goal. Our vacations always seemed too short! But we found the September school days awaiting our return. Finally we became Seniors, proud possessors of a much desired state of being. The last moments of our school life at G. T. H. S. saw us truly and earnestly at work, in order to successfully carry out our plans we elected class officers. We found in the person of Robert McClelland a man worthy as President with a close second Isaac Hixon, as Vice President. And to Marie Jankey fell the lot of keeping the records of our important but stormy career. It is not the intention of the writer to make it appear that the Class, altho seriously inclined, did not participate in the lighter things of life. There were class plays, parties and numerous get-to- ethers—all for the purpose of arousing school spirit and a closer tie of friendship among our class-mates. At the moment of separation when the Class disbands, we summon ourselves to the conviction that we have failed to a certain extent in our duties, that we might have given more for what we received—but to our Alma Mater we pledge once more our loyalty—to bring whatever honors we may share in our lives to her fair name. —22—
