The work which has been done by other Senior classes when compared with the work that has been done by our class needs only a very on history to overstate the most sanguine of their comm expectations. But the quality of work covered and ' cl s the excellence of the work, which has been one, a well as the specialists of the many fanltless artists of the class make it a task to write a history that will not detract instead of honestly state the work that has been accomplished. No senior class in he past career of the high school has surpassed us in point of numbers. 'Ihe class of nineteen hundred one Q1901j had exactly the same number, but we feel sure that where they were equal in numbers their work was far inferior to ours. In ' b s the Freshman year of our school life, the num er wa , as usual, very large. During the Sophomore year, there were yet twenty-seven members, surviving. Out of that twenty-seven, fourteen are in the class now. Four others have joined the ranks, since that time, principally those who at earlier time stopped their high school course to teach school. Then 14x4-18, the number that graduate this year. And you will find that a jollier, better, more studious class can never be found. Some are specialists in one thing, some in another. It is not probable that every one's natural bent runs in the same channel. You find this true in every phase of life and in order to judge one man, you must judge him by some one Whose mind in its natural course follows the same channel. Thus with the Sen- ior class of 1908. Each is great in his own particular line and in order to realize the real greatness of his works, one must judge him by the highest standard of his kind. We will now endeavor to show some of the special- ties of each, in order that others may see them as they appear to us. . We realize that the history of a period or epoch, is most reliable when written at the earliest date pos- sible, so we wish to make this boon to posterity, so that, when in future years any controversy shall arise concernin any member of this class, reference may ' E be made to this history and there by a deinite con- clusion drawn. ' First in rank is George P. Ryan. His average for the entire four years far exceeded that of any other person who ever graduated from the Greenield High Schoolf It was ninety-eight and four tenths Q98 4-10Q. His application has been excellent and his scholarship wonderful. Twice has he entered the declamatory contest and won high honors. He has also been a strong literary worker, and has written many parts that will become famous in later years. But like all great men he has his weak place. This is a most pe- culiar one, in nis case, but none the less real. His actions at the present are somewhat singular and we fear that some time in the future, they will be instru- mental in making him appear plural. George 's great fealty to the girls has been a leading instinct in his life, and as he has for some time past developed a special love affair during the spring months of each -year, We fear that it will soon lead to the plural case, about which we hear people whispering. Next of special note we will mention Lela Daugh- trey. She is a natural and talented reader. Many times, she has held her auditors captivated by her thrilling selections. Quite recently she has been both- ered with a kind of hesitancy of speech in her read- ing, and it is feared that this will prove serious. The fact is she has a kind of chicken talk that she.can no longer dispense with. It is a second nature to her, and we think the only way it can he helped is that she may become a partner in the chicken business. We prophesy that all will be well. Ray Montgomery is a little mischevious during school hours, but the time he takes for his mental and physical revels cannot be counted as lost, for it is by this kind of exercise that he has developed so power- ful a mind. He is a voracious reader and has already given Miss Little much occasion for farther scientiic research. QThat is research for something to make him employ his timej. Another very eminent one among us is our frank, open-faced, open-hearted Jack. Great as a philosopher he is sure to be. Th-e truth he advocates is, Treat everybody,-except the teachers, as you'd have every- body treat you. And the ract that he lives his own precept is the reason for his success as a philosopher. The fact that he is so good natured is the source of his great influence, and this coupled with his great knowledge of the laws and interests of his country, also linked with the fact that he's a democrat, not a Little-ite, will ensure him a brilliant career in U. S. History. At the present time Jerome cannot exceed him in pleading a case at heart and sixteen years will be enough for him to gain -enough renown to accept the nomination of the Democratic party for president of the United States in 1924. It is doubtful whether he'll be elected, if by that time women have been granted suErage and Miss Bessie Taylor accepts the ngimination of the Republican party for the same o cc. , We must not forget Jessie, the one who is really the literary character of the class. Already she has writ- ten many beautiful poems such as To a Blueth, Junior Sentim-ents, and the like. We all think her busy life will begin as soon as school life is finished. Louise is possibly the greatest teacher and instructor of all. For some time she has been teaching her cats at night what she has learned in the day time, and the consequence is, the eats have shown such a won- derful aptitude for learning that Louise thinks it well that the pussies should also receive a diploma. The other members of the class are just as strong and possibly stronger in some respects than these, but this volume of our history is getting so large it cannot be handled without damage to the binding, so those who wish to read the history of the achievements of the remaining part of the class, please wait 'till the s.cond vdlume is prepared. The spirit of the class has always been harmonious and tinged with nothing but good will and pleasant- ness. The class parties and picnics of the year have been enjoyed immensely. .The three parties, one at the home of Miss Mary Howard and the other two at the home of Misses Eitzen and Little will always be re- membered for the pleasant associations and general good time, everyone seemed to have. Time has rolled on and at last wc near the goal for which we have been striving, for four long years. Breathless with anxiety and superabundance of work. we make a last rush and find outselves on May 16th, lying exhausted on the winning side of the goal. We are no longer Seniors, but graduates. or Freshmen in a new and large school of experience. ,L.
