Senior Class History Four years ago a Freshman Class entered Pleasant High School. Many of theim had taken their eighth grade work at Pleasant and so were already loyal workers for the school. Though not strong in numbers, for there were only sixteen of us, we were strong in spirit, which is not a bad substitute for mere numbers. We were all maude members of one or the other of the two Litenary Societies of the school. Many of us became members of the Athletic Association and Basket Ball Teams. The Glee Clubs found us worth. while members also the debating teams, and some proved themselves worthy contestants in the Silver Medal Contests, We held our first class meeting early in the term and selected our class colors, delph blue and gold, class motto, t'Esse quam videri, decided on our class dues, and before the end of the year purchased a banner. In our Sophomore year the Girls' Glee Club and the girls of the Seventh and Eighth grades produced the operetta Princess Chrysanthemum, in which the Soph- omore Class played a large part. In that year the following class officers were elected, who are still serving: President, Fannie Freemang Vice President, Titus Boxwellg Secretary and Treasurer, Lucille Earnhart. The class then patriotically bought a War Savings Stamp. In all of the school organizations the Sophomore Class was being given recognition and respect. In our Junior year we were very busy and each member responded nobly. In that year the first Echo was published and much of its prepartion was done by the Junior Class.. Fannie Freeman was given the honor of being elected Edit0r-in- Chief of the first annual. After ai preliminary debate in the High School the de- bating teams were chosen for the Inter School -debate and the Junior Class had the largest representation of any class on the two teams. Several of the Juniors were asked to assist in presenting the Senior Class play of that year, and in it proved that they could take a part in dramatics as well as in the other phases of school life. Much honor is also due the Literary Societies of that year in which the Juniors figured prominently, for the societies furnished entertainments of considerable worth. In 1920 the Juniors began attracting much attention in Athletics. Many of the star players were Juniors and to win in Basket Ball became a proverb. And now I have come to ouri Senior year. Of it there is much to say, We have accomplished much this year and some of the things that we have been in- terested in are, debates, orations, music, the Literary Societies, the publication of the Echo and of course our regular class rooirn work. Titus Boxwell, one of our worthy members was the school's representative at the Or.ational Contest at Cale- donia. His oration was on Night Brings Out the Stars which though not given first was certainly of much merit. Boxwell is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Echo this year. The debating teams have been chosen no doubt with great care, and the Senior Class has given its best talent for the work. The Athletic record has been greatly improved this year. David Mautz a Senior, the captain of the boys' team is an excellent player in any part of the field, and all of the opposing teams have a high respect for Titus Boxwell. Of the girls' team Ferne Price of our class is undoubtedly one of the best players in the center position to be found in the County. She has an enviable record for clean Basket Ball playing. The Class of '21 is leaving Pleasant conscious of owing her a great debt for all that has been done for us in the years spent here. We feel that we can never repay her, but we do promise that where ever we may be, and in what ever station we :may find ourselves in the days to come, we will always try' tor cast only good re- flections on the school and will always speak of Pleasant with affection, reverence and respect.-M..
