Qiatnrg nfithr Gllama nf 15211 S VVIC come to the end of our lligh School career, it is very pleasant for us to look back over the events of the past three years, and to recall the experiences that have come to us. VVe like to remember the work and the play and the experiences of joy or of sorrow that have drawn us all nearer together. Thus it is with pleasure that we review, briefiy, those things which are of common interest to the members of the Class of 1920. The first year was a period of adjustment. lt was a time during which we accustomed ourselves to the various duties of High School life. At this time, too, we learned to carry graver and more numerous responsibilities than had, up to this time, been ours. Thus the Sophomore year was, as it must necessarily be, a difhcult year. Little by little, however, the process of adjustment, always a difficult one, was effected. We came to regard ourselves, and to be regarded by others, as a working unit in the High School. During this year we learned two important things, essentials of a successful High School career: First, what was expected of us, and second, what we should expect of ourselves. The First was the more quickly learned of the two. At the end of a short time, there were very few in the Sophomore class who could not inform you specifically what was expected of him or her. This, however, was not due to our intelli- gence, but to the clearly defined instructions given us. The second, though not so easily or so quickly mastered, was one of the most important of all the things that we have learned in .High School. That we should each make himself his most severe critic and his most exacting master, is an ideal which has been kept constantly before us. ' I have said that this year was not an easy one. Yet, as we lookrback, we wonder that it was not much more difficult. We wonder that we slipped into our new surroundings with so little friction, and that we so soon became at home in our new environment. With minds trained, as we hope, to logical reasons ing, we search for the cause. XYe can remember that 'there were always those who were making the path as easy as possible for us, who were always smooth- ing the way for us. lf then, the adjustment was made more quickly than usual, the honor is due, not to us, but to them. The Sophomore year passed rapidly, the monotony of routine work being broken from time to time by outside activities. In May, the Seniors presented a musical comedy, Fi-Fi, at the Regent Theatre. The excitement of prepa- ration for this event affected the whole school,-possibly causing a temporary Seventy-nine
