18 THE REFLECTOR I Class History' THELMA ZELLERQ 0000000000000 0 000000000000 All the world's a stage and all tl1e men and women merely players. So spake Shakespeare, that great writer of our high school literature, and with this idea in mind the members of the class of 1919 have always striven to fill their respective parts in life 's great drama, whether great or small, to the best of their ability. Youth has always been kind to the aged and it is for this reason, perhaps, that we, the decrepit old Seniors, are treated with good natured tolerance and respect. Four long years we have toiled faithfully to be a fitting example to the blissful, unsuspecting Freshmen and tried to impress the giddy Sopho- mores and loquacions Juniors with our calm ffl, dignifiedlhilj manner, all in vain. In looking back to that bright, eventful day in September, when we first entered as students those halls of learning new so dear to our memories, we wonder at the strangeness and timidity we displayed in our new surround- ings.. But readjustment was easy and we quickly adapted ourselves to the dif- ferent environment and unaccustomed methods of instruction. Our number was twenty-two, and almost immediately we began to acquire a reputation for being a talented, popular, a11d above all, a TALKATIVE class. The nickname we acquired then, That active bunch of live wires, has followed us all through our high school days, and of late it has come to be regarded rather as a compliment than otherwise. The first year passeds wiftly and happily, and is now buut a pleasant reminiscence. ' As Sophomores the class was duly organized, choosing green and gold as colors. Just at this time the literary work of the societies was at its height, and here as elsewhere our class proved itself a 'valuable asset. As for athletics, several of our girls were absolute necessities to the triumph of the blasket ball team, while our gridiron heroes, though they numbered but three, proved in- valuable to the success of the football eleven. But alas, 'l'mpus Fugit and before we knew it we were Juniors, with a really important task before us. The graduating class must be banqueted- and in a manner which would sustain the reputation we had gained as a sociable, clever group. So to defray the expenses a class benefit show was given at the Strand theatre, a11d this enabled us to entertain in a manner befitting the occasion. It was in this year also that the May Queen was chosen from our circle. Another year has passed and we are the SENIORS-the class of 1919. Throughout our entire course these words had held a peculiar significance for us, and they are no less dear to us now that they are a reality. The old twenty- two have downdled down, until now but fourteen remain. Our former classmates have all our good' wishes for every happiness and success in future life. Our difficulties have been few, our gains many, and now at Commencement time, we proudly raise the green and gold banner in victory. The days we spent in good old M. H. S. were happy, happy ones, filled with the pleasantest of recollections. Vile realize what she has done for us, the standards set by the previous classes are of high aim and purpose and we feel that the same is expected of the class of 1919. VVe want to justify her faith in us, and can do so only by striving to live up to the true spirit of our class motto--' ' Only a Commencement. ' '
