His statements should be unbiased. Love for country, race, or class should not be allowed to color his words. In the past, class historians have been prone to extol the endeavors of their class, and to leave untold their failures. We, however, shall attempt to play the role of a real historian. Our history shall be free from hyperbolic statements and undeserved praise, nor shall we omit those events which cast no favor- able reflection upon us. With this in mind we proceed to record the events of our first year in Plymouth High School. As freshmen, we were an unpresuming, yet hopeful, class. We found very few opportunities to prove our worth, or to learn from ex- perience. As freshman classes before and since have d-one, we took charge of our own assemblies, and several rather good plays were produced. Some of us participated in the Pilgrim advertis- ing contest and assisted in financing that publication. It Was in this year that a section of the Pilgrim was very generously given to us, and it was edited byastaff composed of freshm-en. The one successful event of our first year was the freshman dance, the planning of which was entirely in the hands of the faculty. Thus our freshman year ended without our having either disgraced or distinguish-ed ourselves. The second year was even less event- ful than the first. We plodded through the year without playing an important part in any school project. Therefore the historian can not be held responsi- ble for the brevity of this chapter of our history. As juniors, with a newly acquired f-e-eling of importance, our hopes rose. There was some excitement this year concerning the choice of class rings. When this matter had been settled, we decided to choose our class colors in- stead of waiting until we were seniors. Our choice, green and silver, was used in decorating Memorial ,Hall for our Junior Prom. This occasion, we can truthfully say, was a success socially and finan- cially. Very little assistance except that of a supervisory nature was given us by the faculty, although we later learned that a faculty member reminded Mr. Shipman to remind our class pres-ident to remind us that the Junior Promenade was a Junior class responsibility, or it might never have taken place. Our class ring, also, was selected in the Junior year. And we recall that, when the Honor Society Initiation occurred, we w-ere somewhat perturbed to see that only girls, seven of them, were elected from our class. Continued OH page 15
