SENIOR CLASS. N. C. H. S. 1913. OUR years ago. we as verdant green freshmen, two hundred and ‘fifty strong, gathered like a herd of lost sheep in the old High School, where, much to the joy of the three upper classes we remained lost for nearly a week, and we were only saved from the pits by the guiding voice of Mr. Dickson. Now we thought our troubles were ended, “but not so. the wolves lured us away with a reception on November the first. Hut now we had gathered battle array and after the wolves looked at us. they slunk away as cowardly wolves do. and left us conquerors as we have remained since. In our second year we were the softest Sophomores that had yet been in that building, and we had the honor of conquering that overwhelming objection. In this year was formed a class that received the name of the “Rough Neck division. They remain to-day having received many recruits, they take a more polite name as the Scientific division. This year was marked by many Hag rushes, in which there was one desperate struggle between the verdant class of‘14 and our valiant 1913. Poor little freshies went home at 11 p. m.. thinking in their simple minds all people were in bed, but not so. for at 11:30 up vent the flag of 13 blue and white, and stayed until 11 the next night. So our class of ’13 won the flig rush. We claim the honor of being the last Soph, class in the old high school and first Junior in the new high school. Such a jolly bunch we were, that never again will as jolly a bunch till these haUs. The Seniors lacked the nerve to start a flag rush, but challenged us to toot ball. In this, by the help of the officials, they beat us 6 to 3, but if the Seniors had not been favored, our blue and white would have waived in triumph by the score of 3 toO. Next of importance was the Junior-Senior banquet. In this we out did all classes before us. and left an example for all classes that will follow. Hut as no class can ever touch ours, we have no hopes of getting this year what we gave last. Now we enter on our last year of our renowned career. First that happened of note was the Senior-Freshman r cep-lion. We combined with it a little play and had different things to help our distressed Athletic Association. The Junior dance at Christmas was a very nice affair, it started a new thing in the High School life and we compliment them. Now we look forward to the banquet and our class graduation. when we shall bid good bye to our High School forever. We have the honor of the first graduation under the new principal. Mr. Sargent. 25
