H. S. We were given the usual title, Freshman. With Carl Davis as president we had a very enjoyable and profitable year. There were several parties and one memorable picnic. Our close relations as a class developed into a feeling of good fellowship and sportsmanship. The second year we were called Sophomores and with Crete Dillon as our leader we spent a happy school year together. We had one never-to-be-forgotten picnic which was given the class by Maude Young at her country home. The class of '24 will always remember Maude as a very good hostess. Under the leadership of Dwight Reitzel, who gave his whole-hearted attention to the progress of the class, we accomplished last year our one desire, to make our Junior-Senior Banquet a success. Our Senior year was taken up mostly with the preparing and publishing of this annual. During this time we were royally entertained by the Faculty at a Childrenls Christmas Party and also by the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The Banquet was held at the Sterling Club and was considered one of the best ever given to a Senior Class. The class of '24 has always been a leader in all school activities. We have had no small part in athletics. A large proportion of the athletic teams this year has been made up of Seniors. And now we leave this Hall of Learning with regret mingled with pleasure we will always remember the Faculty of S. H. S. as the best ever. As the members of the class of '24 take leave of their Alma Mater they realize more than ever the advantages which have been theirs and they expect to profit by the instruction they have received under Mr. Austin and his fine corps of helpers. We bid good- bye to S. H. S. and hope that the class of '25 will enjoy the Senior Assembly Room and its adviser, Miss Hershey, as much as has the class of '24, -G. L. M .-'24, THE PILGRIMAGE Once, in a place called Sterling, In a large, brick building there, A pilgrimage was started That led to the Everywhere.l' Over the mountain, Beginning, To the land of 'tOur High School Days, Over the hills and the Valleys, We found it the best of ways. Down through the Valley called Freshman, And over the Sophomore Plain, And climbing the Junior Hilltop. CH we could but do it againlj Then the last stage of our journey, The trip through the Senior Year, Now our pilgrimage is nearly o'er And the end of our travel is near. So now we'll continue our journey For just a few more days, Till we reach the Gates of Commencement, That leads to Life's Highways. 18
