CASS iS ORY In the fall of 1922, freshmen entered—ninety-two. October saw them very game when the big Reception came. With green bibs and great big cups, milk was swallowed, sups and sups. But they soon returned the pleasure to new freshmen, without measure, for one February morn there were freshmen, all forlorn, the High campus to adorn. And before the year was o’er, they accomplished one thing more—a huge picnic up at Friant—on its success they were compliant. “Sophomore” meant get-into-everything: all the teams. ‘here was not anything in which they did not have a number, which surely made the rest look dumber. Basket ball, speed ball, football, and tennis teams—though scholarship was not neglected by any means. As Juniors the class held every sport, especially on the basket court. The girls need lots of mention there—of stars the Barcrofts were a pair. “Adam and Eva” was: its name. To see Ray court Miss Sara Cox made Tommy grind his teeth The Junior play won lots of fame like rocks. A Hard Time party of joy supreme, a Kid party that was very keen, and a picnic held at Live Oak Springs are a few of the pleasant social things. Now, as seniors, the class has reached its fame and made for it- self a wondrous name in sports, in scholarship, and fun. ‘The class of ’26 has won most plaudits for its many arts, and now looks out to other parts. Besides the splendid co-operation, the class has made a great donation of high school spirit, honor, and worth—that can’t be equaled on the earth. Ge
