Ijisturu uf (Class nf ’13 (I laze I M ac Taggart.) Tt is a difficult task indeed to write the history of a so learned, amiable, gifted and sophisticated a class. On September 7, 1909, our talented class entered the High School, one hundred strong. Qn the first morning, lo and behold, we had to march into the Assembly before all those seemingly wise Sophies, Juniors and Seniors, who kindly sang to us that song, appropriate for most Freshies but not for us, “1 low green they are.” Of course at first we did feel rather awkward, I confess, and our feet felt overly large and our hands, oh, my! what should we do with them. But we soon got over such embarrassment and bravely yelled back— “Listen to ’em yell, listen to ’em yell. They aren’t so many if their heads do swell.” Our first year was a complete success; even a few were encored anti decided to repeat the stunt, but the rest of us gladly marched to the more elevated position of Sophomores, where the class was split up to decide the great question whether “Athens were greater than Sparta.” The Athenians received first place. A banquet was held at the St. Regis hotel in honor of the great event. After a thjrce-month’s vacation we enrolled as Juniors, proud to be able to sit in the same room with the Seniors. Three class affairs were “pulled off” during our term in the eleventh grade. At the Junior-Senior party, the guests were entertained by a programme and a dance. The next social event was the Senior-Junior mask party, at which there was a profusion of many bright-colored and ornamental costumes. After Christmas vacation we moved into the new school building, where we arc now located. At the end of the year the Seniors were given a banquet by the Juniors. In our last year we Seniors have been entertained royally by the Juniors, at a Valentine party. The decorations of the hall where it was held were of red hearts, cupids and wishbones. The Seniors have chosen as their class play, “ The Kingdom of Heart’s Content,” which will be presented at the Majestic Theatre at the end of the year.
