Our school days are now nearly o'er, And soon we'll all be freeg Free to seek hither for new lore, Or whatever our fancies may be. Full twelve long years we did earnestly try, To win for ourselves a fair markg And now we are leaving New Hampton High, Set adrift on life's sea in our bark. Oh what a wearisome load of care, It lays on our young hearts: Not to be told what burdens to bear, Or how to direct our arts. Some of our class to college will roam, To further extend their skillg While some of us will stay at home, And more minor positions till. But we know that every one, Has his own place in lifeg So let the other fellow have his fun, For to him too comes strife. But tho' our footsteps will divide, And we may scatter to the winds of fatesg A place in our hearts we will never hide, For the love of our old classmates. And thro' it all we'll ne'er forget, The purple and the white- The colors that so proudly we carried, That brought victory in every fight. M.

mmm mmmmmmmm Shahnfn s-can li li HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '27 In the fall of nineteen twenty-three, a group of nervous, hesitating and uncertain boys and girls appeared for their first day in the strange new institution, New Hamp- ton High School. The nervousness and uncertainty soon wore away under the supervision of Miss Carolyn Helming, class advisor. We entered into the ac- tivities of the school with a spirit and vim which has set a record for other class- es to try to surpass. During this year we were well represented in declamatory and athletic work. In our Sophomore year we put forth great effort in scholastic and athletic or- ganizations, and astonished the faculty as well as our classmates, by the excellent work we accomplished. A few of the members oif the class dropped out, but in the renewed energy and enthusiasm of those remaining, wonders were accomp- lished. Under the direction of Miss Florence Schilling we enjoyed several soc- ial functions, the main feature being a St. Patrick's Party. Several of our class- mates preserved the honor of our High School on the gridiron, basketball floor and the diamond. One student won hon- orable mention in the oratorical division of the declamatory work this year. Again in twenty-five, we gathered for another first day of schoolg this time well on our way to our destination-graduation. This year was visibly saddened by the absence of a popular member of the class, Henry TeKippe, whom Death had taken away during the summer vacation. Miss Ruth Gethmann was appointed class ad- viser and with her help the year was a great success socially, the novel Junior- Senior banquet being the big event of the year. We were better represented this year, in the various functions of the school than ever before. Several of our young men and women were presented with let- ters for prowess in athletics. Our class was also represented to good advantage in both the district and state commercial contests. We are now in the middle of our Senior year. We began it with a determination which speaks well for our future success. Class oflicers and Annual Staff were select- ed. Our class has -always lived up to the un- written motto Action not Words as shown by the large number of the Seniors wearing N. H. and the scarcity of Senior names on the Shakespeare list. When our Senior year has closed, let us all remember that the history of the class is not ended. The rest of it remains to be made. If we keep up the high stan- dard we have held through the four long years of High School, we are certain to win success. Whatever success we attain, may be attributed to the knowledge we have gained under the supervision of the faculty, both past and present, and we are duly grateful to them.-M. A. W.-E. E.
