28 THE ORACLE History of ' 07 I ' HAT bright September morn in 19113 when with joy and trembling A we wended our way to Mansfield High School to begin our sojourn there! Is there one among us who has forgotten it? Smiles of superi- ority greeted us from every side. However we determined to say nothing and let time show what we could do. A few of our number, bolder than the rest, determined to make themselves known by such acts as walking in upon a class of giggling Sophomores or dignified Seniors, and by performing athletic stunts upon the stairs. The rest of us went about it more slowly and in a more quiet way. That we have succeeded is shown by the fact that we hold the envious title of Seniors. No longer are we looked upon with scorn. Ah, no! Quite the opposite. Our rough edges have been worn off. Our greenness is a thing of the past. All eyes are centered upon us with pride and awe. From various causes our number has dropped from one hundred and eighty to eighty. For all this we will be the largest class to gradu- ate from Mansfield High School. The class organized in its Freshman year and actually held two meetings. However each year has brought forth the necessity of more numerous meetings until now the jingle A Class Meeting in Miss Aberle ' s Room, is not always a welcome one. In social affairs we have held our own. The marshmallow roast at Poseland, and the reception tendered the Senior Class of ' 06 were the social events of our Junior year. This year has been marked by the reception tendered us by the Juniors, a very enjoyable affair. Athletics have declined. Both foot-ball and field day have been abandoned. Basket-ball alone remains. We have not been as well represented along this line as some previous classes, but we have done our best. In music we have been a shining light, having shown more talent along this line than preceding classes. ' 1 he band which, resplendent in green and gold uniforms, caused our hearts to thrill when freshmen, is a thing of the past. The orchestra, however, has been the means of bringing out a larger amount of musical talent. Nor do we fall behind in vocal music. Graduation on June 7th will bring the history of ' 07 to a close. The class motto Out of school life into life ' s school, will hold true. As we start out to fight the battles of life, may we struggle success- fully. But no matter what degree of success we may attain nor in what clime we shall be, our thoughts will always return to the happy days spent in Mansfield High School and our interest in her will never grow less. We leave her beloved walls on the most friendly terms with the faculty, the undergraduates and with harmonv among ourselves. Mae Longsdorf.
