ANTLER HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS TN the month of September 1921, a large group of little tots entered Minnehaha A Academy under the name of Freshmen. We had the “Freshie’s” characteristics, but now four years have gone by and behold the transformation, for from this group have evolved forty-eight wise looking Seniors—the class of 1925. As Freshmen we were sixty-one and it was then for the first time we realized what it meant to really exercise our mental faculties. More than once did we burn the “midnight oil”. It was a year of many trials, but we were tenacious and determined to win. The days passed on. as they usually do, and before we could realize it. May had arrived and then for three months of rest which was sadly needed by us after such a strenuous struggle to overcome Ignorance. Summer vacation passed and we were once more summoned from our pleasures to the classrooms. We were now not so many as the previous year. Someone informed us that the meaning of Sophomore in Latin meant, “Wise Fool”, but this did not discourage or frighten us. as we plunged into our new year with a soldier's bravery. We edited the December and January issues of the “Quiver . This was quite an undertaking, for most of us were inexperienced in that line of work, but we had the same determination as we had when Freshmen, so success was ours. After finishing our Sophomore year, we prepared to begin a third .epoch of our career. As Juniors we realized the great responsibility which rested on our shoulders and acted accordingly. This year we were a class of forty-two. Before the Christmas vacation we donated a “Companion Bible” to the library. This was a very serviceable and appreciated gift. The most important event of our Junior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held in April. We did not receive the symbolic “Ketchup Bottle” at this occasion, but received instead a pair of tiny shoes for us to step into; as the Seniors had no longer use for them. We are soon ready to hand them down to our successors—the class of 1926. May they wear them as well as we did! Our class was represented on the Minnehaha debating team which debated North Park College in the Spring of 1924, by two of its members (one as a real member and the other as the alternate). Although our team was not victorious, the members received valuable experience which can be used for future purposes. And thus these three years have rolled by and we have entered as Seniors upon the last lap of our high school race. As the runner exerts all his powers in the final spurt, so are we putting forth our greatest efforts in our last year. After our class got into working order we decided to publish an annual, with the aid of the Bible Institute graduates and the Juniors. This annual, the third one published in the history of our school, we believe will be bigger and better than the two previous annuals. One of our classmates, Ethel Johnson, was taken away from her earthly home to a far better place, last Fall. We miss her. but her sweet memory still lives on. We are not a little proud to think that we are Seniors and soon will be happy graduates; and vet. as we look back upon those four years of our school life, it is not without regret that those happy days arc passed forever. Now we are to enter other activities with the same expectations and hopes which filled us as Freshmen. We have been told that our school days are our happiest ones, and we are coming to realize that fact. We know that the world is not all pleasure, there are many stumbling blocks in the path of duty, but we face the future bravely with a determination to conquer and make our lives worth the living. We know that this class will continue to prove itself loyal to God and to its Alma Mater as it has done in the past. II. R. C. ’25. [ 13 ]
