Class History N THE FALL of nineteen-twenty Came a laughing bunch of Freshmen, lFifty-two we were in numberj, To the school called Hilmar Union, Between the cities Hilmar-Irwin, Came to play and came to study, Algebra and General Science English I and Manual Training. Green we were, as green as grasses, Timid as the little rabbits. When the Upper Classinen ducked us Meekly we submitted to them. After we became acquainted, We found our place in Hilmar High School We were proud 'cause we were students Of the the famous High of Hilmar. The teachers all took interest in us 'Cause we were so bright a.nd clever, Studied hard and knew our lessons. Sophomores we were the next year Grown in stature and in wisdom, Not so meek and not so humble. Just as soon as school was opened Revenge we took upon the Freshmen, Washed their heads under the faucets, Took from them their shoes and stockings, Marched them all before the teachers Until they learned that we were masters. All along clear thru that school year We were noted for our mischief. Ditching school and skipping classes Was our favorite occupation, And oft into the principal's office We were chased and oft repented. Came our carefree year as Juniors Always peppy, full of laughter, Always lively, always cheerful, Leading class we were in Hilmar, Always leading in athletics, Scholarship and others' favor. But all joys can't last forever 20

s J. I . All too soon the year was over We departed for the summer, After wishing well the Seniors Who were leaving' Hilmar that year. The next September, back to Hilmar Came the highest high, the Seniors. But alas! Our class had dwindled, From fifty-two to only fourteen. But we came with vim and vigor, To do our work and fight our battles. But our joys this year were clouded By the tests our teachers gave us. These we passed and now we proudly Do declare that future classes Must work hard that they may beat us. Now when school is almost over We realize what Hilmar stands forg We hate to leave the dear old high school, Hate to leave our dear old classmates. So when we become Alumni, When we're all grown up and scattered, We will all be true to Hilmar, To the school we love so dearly. Rudolph Peterson 11 y ,xx ummm' ,m l Mmm' 21 H
