Senior CElaaa tetnrg-1313 By p. Horton. Class Historian. Any one familiar with the Class ’13 wonders not at all when I state that the history of this class is an impossibility; that it absolutely refuses to be fairly represented through mere words and figures. This is true, not because our lines of endeavor have not been manifold or our place in the student activities unimportant,but because we have realized that our ability lies mostly in a realm of subconscious effort, hence we have never attempted to push ourselves to the front ranks of notoriety with unmannerly and blatant effort. A detailed history being impossible, we will have to be content with a mere compendium—a bird’s eye view, as it were. However, there were a few ripples upon the surface of our smoothly flowing current of progress, outside of our routine work, which, while serving to remind us of the fleeting passage of time, acted to relieve the monotonous but pleasant tenor of our way. As embryonic “freshies” we entered the portals (figuratively speaking) of the High School with our hearts bounding with hope. But at the same time we experienced a nameless and extinguishable feeling of awe, which was not in any degree allayed by our covert observations of the instructors and our new surroundings. Not long after we had become settled, a spelling match was instituted between the two divisions of the class; the half proving the better speller to be the recipient of the munificent prize of a £ holliday. This affair afforded much discussion, which was only abated by the presence of a new source of interest; work was commenced on the new high school building. Next year we assumed an air of great importance, for were we not Sophomores and no longer horrible “freshies”? This term was not without its sad incidents for we lost one of our most esteemed members by death and several by desertion. However, devotion to our studies enabled the term to pass swiftly away, and next we were Juniors. Again the reader finds us deeply engrossed in our studies, laying these aside, however, once to cast our votes indicating our desires regarding the design of our class pin, (a most regrettable deed, see editorial) and again to elect our class officers, Wendel Morgan being chosen president and June Marshal secretary. Later Sam Slavens was chosen treasurer. Excited by the prolonged and vigorous solicitations of the faculty, we derived an idea from some mysterious source, whieh subsequent investigation proved to be constituted of the most exquisite vagueness and etherial uncertainty that we could wallop the Senior Class, and proceeded to challenge them to that effect. They accepted, (sad to say) and very adroitly proved to our dismay that we were mistaken, for they had 10 men standing after our last succumbed. On account of the large size class, Mr. Parrot had fain renounced the usual precedent of entertaining the class at his residence. The senior year has been uneventful, except that we are the second class to occupy the only finished room in the new building. The Senior Class organization along with other data of interest is given in the proper department. (See page 7) In order to pay due justice to the worthy, let all join together in extolling the wonderful class of 1913, and let each member aid in perpetuating its memory.
