CLASS HISTORY 1918 As rapid as is the motion of the sands of the hour glass, so the days of our High School life have seemed to me. Three-fourths of the way has been covered. One-fourth yet remains for us to speed over and then—well, we then will set forth to the Higher School— the world. But before we leave the old school let us go back across the way we have traveled. The road has not been smooth all the way. Rocks and boulders have been strewn in our path. There was many a dangerous turn in the road around which, with the aid of our teachers, we skillfully steered our way. It was a beautiful September morning when we Juniors gath¬ ered as the Freshman class in the vast auditorium. Austere and stern-eyed men appointed us to our respective rooms. There were two Commercial rooms and three Latin session rooms. Misses At¬ kinson, Marsh, Watson, Whitlock and Hollister presided as heads of our session rooms. How strange and new our surroundings were to us at first 1 We were overwhelmed with the majesty and superiority of High School life when we looked back at our recent Grammar School life. The first important act we partook of as Freshmen was to select a committee of two from our numbers to represent us at a discussion as to whether all members of Z. H. S. should have class pins. Then came our welcome by our upper classmen and teachers to High School. That winter saw earnest work on our part to acquit our¬ selves in a noble way. We cheered our debating teams on to vic¬ tory, and supported athletics. Spring came and with it the track meet at which the Freshmen did their part. Shortly before the close of school that year we gave a reception to the Seniors. Our class was well represented in a stunt that afforded our upper classmen much amusement. We had made our debut into active High School life and had passed the test and stood approved by our fellow-class¬ mates. Another September dawned in splendor and beauty. Now we were Sophomores. Our studies were becoming very difficult and we had to apply ourselves diligently to the task. In December a carnival was held for the benefit of the Athletic Association. It was a huge success and the Sophomores saw active service. Debate was the next affair of interest. We regret very much that not a Sophomore represented the School in this contest. But, oh horrors, fate turned the tables and from being victorious in annual debates we were so humiliated as to be conquered. After we managed to arise from the staggering blow and Comus Benefit in Carnival style held our attention. The year sped on to its close and Sophomorehood was a thing of the past. Again we were in a higher stage of development—Juniorhood. Now in truth we were important. We first felt our importance in selecting Comus officers. Then Mr. Brown and Carl Cashbaugh gaA r e a fine minstrel show for the Athletic Association. It came off without a hitch. As Juniors we were delighted with the affair. Debate came quickly on and several of our band were cbosen to lead the school on to victory. And that they assuredly did. In early May we were allowed to elect officers for our Senior year which be¬ fore long we will commence. But first the Seniors must be seen off in a manner that is appropriate to the dignity of the old School. A fine affair was given as farewell to the outgoing class. And now the pages of memory have been rapidly scanned. Let us hope that another year may add an interesting, lively ending to this the history of the Junior Class. Marie Mirvis, Class 1918.
