I E were demure little Freshmen When, on that bright day in September, Coming from neighboring suburbs we gathered at Walnut Hills High School. Timid were we and afraid of the teasing and taunts, as all Freshmen, Fearing to seem unacquainted with ways strange to us, of our elders. Then, as we faithfully studied our algebra, English and Latin, Living in awe of the Seniors, so stately and very important, Threatened with far-famed demerits whose ter- rible name made us tremble, Daily progressed we in Latin and all other sub- jects we studied, Fill in the midst of the winter, the long-looked- for Christmas vacation With all its pleasant reunions approached bring- ing with it the New Year. h After the Yuletide was over and we had re- sumed all our studies. Labored we with renewed vigor till after the tests of the midyear. Spring with her myriads of wild flowers pursued, then, with fleet step, old winter, lfil

iRousjng within us anew a deep feeling of love for all Nature. Just as a bud blossoms into a rose, so sweet Spring into Summer Slowly unfolded her petals-Summer in all of her splendor, Splendor surpassed by no season, not even the radiant Autumn, Books were forsaken for pleasure, for picnics 0r trips to the seashore. II Meeting again in the Autumn, we wandered about the old schoolyard, Watching the meek little Freshmen, rejoicing in each of their blunderSe Innocent blunders, blunders of which we our- selves were once guiltyA While with the various problems and figures of Euclid we struggled, While with the famed Gallic Wars of the great Roman, Caesar, we battled, Even as over and over we wrote of the famous Six Pictures, Feelings of awe we lost and gained those of growing importance, Deigning to think, as all Sophomores, that we at least equalled the Seniors. Gone was our fear of demerits and that of the tests of the midyear. Thus lived we, till, with the roses and warm, gentle breezes of Summer, Came that most welcome vacation for which all our books were abandoned. IN 111 When to the radiant Autumn fair Summer was yielding her seeptre, Once more renewing old friendships, we gath- ered again in the schoolyard, Feeling grown-up and important, we, the all- intrresting J uniors. Six of the wondrOus examples of Cicerots genius we studied, French, too, we learned, and some Spanish and laws of the wise Archimedes. Christmas with holidays joyful approached once again and departed. Leaving a few happy thoughts to be cherished through weeks of hard study. Then, with the Springtime came thoughts of the A-B dance and the boatride. Summer, approaching, brought with her Com- mencement, and when that was over, We, the old schoolls happy Seniors, all gaily 7 went forth on a picnic, Bent on a jolly good time on the grass-covered hills of Mount Echo, Bent on just one more reunion before we disv banded ttill autumnl. IV Seniors were we, and we felt the great dignity of our position When we assembled again near the wide-open doors of the building Whose friendly halls had so sheltered us during the three years preceding.
