SENIOR CLASS HISTORY NETEEN Hundred and Twelve is a memorable date. Yes, indeed, for it was during this year that a mighty horde of verdant young Freshmen came prattling noisily up to the dear old school building on the hill; as enthusiastic and joyous as a troupe of pups on a chilly, wintry day. It was a jolly class of forty-four and they immediately started to do things. They elected their officers: David Hil-les, president; John Bowersock, vice-president, and Elizabeth Conley, secy.-treas.; as Freshmen they bought a pennant, and had it stolen; had a party and a hayrack ride. But best of all, they got their lessons. The somewhat experienced class returned and re-enrolled as Sophomores. The membership was slightly decreased, but with the decrease in number came a multiplied increase of enthusiasm and desire to do things. The same officers were elected in 1913, except the vice-president, which office was filled by Stanley Cohagan. They had a party that year in the Domestic Science room and I think that party is an important one in the history of S. H. S., for this was the beginning of a series of raids that have not ended to this day. “Fruit Cake” and parties are synonymous. Will that memorable Senior raid ever be forgotten ? Juniors! It sounded big to them and it seemed to have its effect for it was in 1914 that this class showed S. H. S. its real capacity for doing big things. As Juniors they took the initiative in everything owing to the smallness of the Senior class. David Hilles was elected to lead the class again with Stanley Cohagan and Beatrice Boyd as the other two officers. This year the Juniors gave some parties and best of all, they gave a dramatic production which was a howling success, both financially and artistically. “A College Town” will live in the memory of every member of the class of T6 as long as he or she has a thinker to think. As Juniors they revived the ancient custom of a Junior-Senior banquet which was given at the Harvey House and which was a brilliant success. Nineteen hundred and sixteen is a memorable date. Yes indeed, for it is this year that these twenty-seven veteran students of many a hard-fought battle, in the classrooms of History, Latin and Geometry, pass out through the portals of a mere High School into the world, broad and spacious; some to a university, some to the factory, and some to the farm, and some to their homes. In short, this is the year that the class of T6 graduates. This noble class of Seniors has been as a single unit. They act unanimously on everything and as one person. Dissatisfaction and dissent are unknown quantities and there isn’t an Algebra student in the class who wants to solve it. This year the Senior Class has given a play entitled, “A Crazy Idea,” which was indeed a grand success. The Oklahoma University Glee Club gave a concert in Sapulpa, under the auspices of the Senior Class, and from this the class filled their coffers with riches. With these riches they intend to present to the High School a useful gift, and they also are intending to give an Alumni Banquet. The starting of an Alumni Association will give for this class a name everlasting in the school’s annals. David Hilles was elected for the fourth time as class president, and Stanley Cohagan was elected as vice-president. Elizabeth Conley is the secretary-treasurer. The Class of ’16 has been a large, enthusiastic one. It has been a class of action and not of parley. They have deliberated, but then they have acted. It has acted always with the interest of the school, in mind. They have accomplished things —big things. Would that the history, of each member of this wonderful class could be as full of honor and success as is the history of this graduating class.
