Greenville High School - Graduate Yearbook (Greenville, IL)

Page 27 text:

The class of 1920 began its career in breenville High School with a determination to surpass all previous records made by classes. There were seventy members, some large and some small, all eager and willing to nzake the most of the year. As soon as we had become acquainted with the routine of school life we were anxious to organize, but for various reasons fthat is, the rash conduct ol' the preceding classy we received orders from headquarters that we would not be al- lowed to do so or to have pennants. However we rallied sufficiently from this c1'uel blow to make more noise than any other class in the school parade of the Farmers' Institute. Two of our boys played on the first basketball team which accounts for the excellency of the team. 'I'he girls also broke the record and by their superior playing won the class basketball tournament. The classmen besieged the walls of learning and carried away grades which were tokens of their industry in conquering the diihcult subjects. A few could not keep up with the rapid studies of the others and rather than leave school without a sufhcient amount of knowledge they are taking the same work over again so that they may learn it better. The class again made itself known on Loyalty Day and appeared in the parade in patriotic array which called forth complimentary com- ments from many people. The end of the year came and the classmen separated for the sum- mer with a determination to come back the next year and be the protectors of the Freshmen and again assume their graver duties of study. The class this year is about the same as it was last year except that there are only forty- two members. Some stayed at home on the farm to help win the war, some stayed behind to swell the number of Freshmen this year, and our friend Henry Birkenstock has become quite famous as a country school teacher. We also welcomed four members to our ranks this year. After a long session of the class we final- ly choose our class colors and pennants and decided to keep our pennants the remaining four years until we graduate. We again dis- tinguished ourselves in the school parade of the Farmers' Institute by our good class yells. On the sixth of April we had a party in which we recalled the days of our youth and forgot the cares and worries of our old age. We are blessed with artists and musicians. Four of our members play in the G. H. S.or- chestra and four others took part in the an- nual play. We are now nearing the end of our second year feeling that we have done our duty by the Freshmen and sincerely hoping that they will follow our excellent example. -Q 495 v - Junior Class Poem Some say that the Juniors are stupid, But that is indeed, a mistake, For they'll all miss our bright beaming faces Next year when we graduate. We have the best members in High School, The best that are found in the landg We willingly work without thinking, For duty well done do we stand. And we're sure if President Wilson Should come to some fatal disgrace, Our highly accomplished .class leader Could easily take his place. Among us we have great musicians, And talents of every kind: Orators, actors and athletes, The best that you ever can find. Our maidens are all of them beauties For good breeding they've won themselves fameg Atractive and dignified always They put the poor Seniors to shame. For the Freshmen we set good examples And We're striving to lead them aright, In order that they may be Juniors Whose future will some day be bright. Faye Harris
