Wim ig f 1:1 THE RAMBLER, 1926 1:1 E2 ani I: l Senior Class History As we forget for a moment the present, we find ourselves once more Freshmen of 1911, '7.2.. As Freshmen our trials were unending. The abolishing of conflicts in the forming of a schedule of work was an utter impossibility, whether or not we should take Science, History, Civics, Latin, or Agriculture was an insolvable problem, and what to do when aroused by the inevitable electric bell was a question of vital importance. When we returned that fall we found ourselves termed Sophomores, and more often wise fools by the upper classmen. This year we divided Gaul into three parts, and we caused the death of many innocent worms, bugs, and amphibians in an attempt to learn something of biology. We became proficient in pursuing the classical values of X, Y, and Z. Those of us who returned as Juniors, realized fully for the first time, the true value of a high school education, and our class went to work in earnest. As we would soon be at the top, we began to prepare for the responsibility of leadership. Here, too, many of us acquired an appreciation and liking for good literature which has given and will continue to give us many hours of enjoyment. Many of us, this year, took up the study of a foreign language. We suffered the usual agonies of the beginners, but after acquiring the fundamentals our progress was more rapid, The originals and propositions of the Plane Geometry of this year, seem nightmares of the past. After three years of more or less intensive study, we became Seniors. As Seniors, our original translations of Latin, French, and Spanish threw our teachers into ecstasy, and threw light on many hitherto obscure passages. This year the subjects became harder but we kept our mind fixed on graduation and worked harder. The Commercial Arithmetic Class worked problems until they ceased to wonder what a calculating machine thinks about. In parting, we wish to thank the faculty for their patient and untiring efforts in our behalf. May our lives always hold the mould you have placed about them. To our Comrads whom we leave behind, may your eyery effort be crowned with success, and finally to our Alma Mater-many classes of graduates have passed from beneath your portals, but none shall hold the name of Springfield High School more dear than the Class of 1916.
