THE KODAK SENIOR CLASS HISTORY “And moving through a mirror clear That hangs before her all the year Shadows of the world appear.” -—Tennyson. Gazing into its mystic depths, I see far away in the distance the shadows of my class, the happy, laughing students, wending their way nearer and nearer. It is a bright September morning, and these students are approaching their temple of learning, the High School. The expressions on their faces show that they desire to cross the bridge into the vast unknown field of knowledge. These seekers after knowledge, whom the picture reveals, are known as the class of 1915. They gaze at the Seniors with envy, now wondering if they can ever ascend to that height of knowledge which the Senior has already attained. But they soon decide that the world is made for Freshmen and proceed to enjoy it regardless of other classes. They also know that the secret of success is a good beginning.

They now consider with humorous thought: “Oh, the saddest of sights in this world of sin Is a little, lost Freshie, just started in.” When the Juniors and Seniors organize their class spirit becomes uncontrollable, and they boldly band themselves together. By degrees they are becoming wiser, attaining greater heights, some in knowledge, some in pranks. Early in the year, the glass reveals the organization of the class, and it’s debut into the social whirl of the High School life and the colors of purple and gold show in the background as the numerous events pass to and fro, parties, hayrack rides and social gatherings. Now the last view of the social year claims all of the mirror’s r pace. Me t we find the Juniors in preparation and the Seniors in expectation making ready for the Junior-Senior reception, which is held in honor of the Sen-
