irniaiioiaiiirir Senior Class Histor Four times now has the history of the Class of 1917 been written, yet the real history of the class has just begun. The events which now seem so commonplace, in later years will be viewed as links that served to bind each of us together. Captains of football and basketball hail from our ranksg debaters and speakers must not be forgotteng vocal- ists and musicians well known in musical circlesg artists and writers whose pictures and stories have made our Drifts something worth while, all belong to our group. W'e are very proud of our distinction and attainments, tho in after years I imagine our thoughts will center around the friendships we formed and enjoyed, rather than the honors received. We thank Miss Terriere, who as our class adviser so kindly guided us through our high school days. As a result of her persistent efforts we have the larg- est class that has ever graduated from Taylorville High School. In a few more weeks we will leave old T. T. H. S. Each member will go his way to do his part in the world toward completing a still greater history--the history of a nation. -HOLLIS CLARK, '17. Last 7i1l and Testament We, the Seniors of 1917, considering the turbulent times and our impending depar- ture from life at T. H.
