18 THE MIRROR ments resembled each other very much. The D. S. girls began to make most wonderful smelling things and they say they were more wonderful tasting. The Commercials were confident that they, one and all, could demand enormous salaries now. The April issue of The Mirror was the Junior num- ber, and never was there a better one, so we thought. The second semester, the following officers were elected: John Wilson, president; Mildred Court, vice-president; Dan Runyan, secretary; Morrow Pendry, treasurer. We began to shine in athletics this year. Jack Dunham, Herbert Bauer, Charles Meyers, Gordon Williams were on the football team. And there was Faye who shone very, very brightly in basket ball. FOURTH YEAR. The fourth yeaLand our last year, and our best year. We were Seniors, yes; dignified? No. We entered the last lap of our scholastic career, under new management. Mr. Mclntire left and his place is very ably filled by Mr. Johnson, The officers for the year were: Charles Meyers, president; Estelle Johnson, viceepresident; Herbert Bauer, treasurer; Helen Brokaw, secretary. The second semester: Herbert Bauer, president; Faye Blacker, vice-presi- dent; Mary Davenport, secretary, and Leo Nusslock, treasurer. This year we became great chemists, the order of H23 filled the halls as well as the airshafts for days. We learned the principles and underlying causes of primary ettiquette as well as a good deal of French from Miss E. Fairweather. In Latin the horrors of the underworld were revealed to us. In the American History elass, many were the battles fought over the slavery question. The Domestic Science girls stopped cooking and began experimenting. The Commercials put on the finishing touches to their business knowledge. This year the Mirror was ntaken over as it were, by the Seniors with Mary Daven- port and Fred. Reiners as editors. Many others of the staff also were Seniors. And those essays! After much persuasion, argument and possible ruina- tion, they finally arrived at Miss Jacobts desk. On the evening of December 27, the Juniors entertained us with a dance in a similar way we entertained them .on the fifteenth of April. And now, after four years of hard work and play, we are ready to grad- uate. We hope that the members of the June class of :21 will bring honor to the name 'of N'orwood High, and that we will always hold the memory of our high school days the most precious of all. Herels to good luck for you all. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS. The class of June 21 is rather frivolous 0n the outside but at heart we are sound and strong. Its girls are all beautiful, its boys all manly. We show a great deal of versatility in our scholarly exactness. Our papers are always clear so that teachers do not have to read them over a second time to understand them. Apologies to Halleck? ESTELLE JOHNSON, REBA MORTON.

THE MIRROR 17 CLASS HISTORY. 1921 Time-September, 1917. PlaceiNorwood High. The CIass-June, 21. According to the precedents, our class was just as green as any other class. But some of us were very wise. for they had been in the building Since the Allison Street School Ere, and had found out how to act. All his- tory has three periodseearly life, middle years and later years. This history shall conform to that as far as possible. EARLY LIFE. First yeareNone of us will ever forget that sunny morning in Septem- ber when school opened. A great number of us decorated the halls for many minutes. Then we went to the auditorium. We learned just how green we were. A hundred and hfty-five in number were we. We were assigned to our home rooms after finding Hwho was who, and what was where. Our class being very large we were grouped into five different divisions: Com- mercial, Domestic Science and three General divisions. We were soon ad- mitted into the sacred portals of learning by ways of the First Year Latin book. Ancient history, where we learned that the ancient women had used rouge and lipsticks much to our great horror, and found our way into the delightful mysteries of Robert Louis Stevensonis NTreasure Island. During this year, Miss Sutor, our English teacher, left for a half year and Miss Cellarius took her place. We must not forget to mention that wonderful welcome given by the Seniors to us. There was quite a wonderful program and great eats. SECOND YEAR. Feeling quite sophisticated, we returned for our second year, our num- ber being reduced to hundred and one. Here were tortures of Geometry, with which the General divisions were inHicted. The D. S. girls got out of it, only to find it in their senior year, when the more matured brain could better cope with it. The Commercials struggle with the hieroglyphics of shorthand. And last but certainly not least, HGallia est onmis divisa in partes tres. tNeither French, not LatinJ LATER YEAR. Third yeareThe third year marked the crucial movement in our career. We held our first class meeting and elected Gordon Williams, president; Mary Davenport, vice-presidcnt; Herbert Bauer, secretary; Dan Rees, treas- urer. Later we choose for our class colors: Gold and Black. Then came our debut into society. And the fifth of December, we gave the Seniors a dance. About this time we began to pay some attention to our lessons. The Generals had a choice of botarly and physics. Of course, the girls chose botany and the boys, physics, being more mathematically inclined. And many were the botany hikes the girls had. It is very peculiar, but many of our experi-
