CLASS HISTORY Q rx X FOR most of us our entrance into West Philadelphia l-ligh School is a memorable event, l-lere we were, akin to a great pile of raw material to be made into a building, When an architect plans a structure he carefully considers his material and the way in which each part is to be assembled to make a perfect finished product. So, alsoj our years at high school were planned. ln the east auditorium, on the first day, which now seems so far in the past, we met the chief architect, Mr, Roberts, As the days went by we met some of the assistant architects the teachers, Into the hands of these people was given a task which they had often undertaken before, For eight or nine years other architects had applied their knowledge to make us ready for this, the final effort to build us into a worthwhile product. They knew that each bit of knowledge must be added to the framework at just the right time., and in just the right way, if a finished product which both the school and we could be proud of, was to be the result, lclard though it was to become accustomed to the new school and all its new and confusing regulations, we did manage to struggle through the first year and were promoted into lOA, Those of our class who had gone to junior high schools now joined us, We were glad to meet them and soon many new friends were discovered, The minds of these new members of our class had to be molded and formed., just as the sculptor molds his clay, to receive, accept, and retain the great number of new facts and regulations, just as ours had been. Our sophomore year was somewhat drab and dull, like a lifeless dance, We continued moving but without great interest in what we were doing. Lessons seemed to occupy all our time because they were so much harder than they had ever been Twenty-one
