Senior IDrite:llp By MARIE DAVIS we OMEBODY-I forget whether it was Billy Sunday or Billy Shakespearef-said some consolation to the Seniors. But in spite of the lack of appreciation on the part of the underclassmen, nevertheless the Senior class is a rather remarkable one. There are not many people in it of course, but what it lacks in numbers it makes up for in pep and originality. It bears the distinction of having originated several novel modes of entertaiuf ment, among them a big Thanksgiving feed , a sleighless sleigh ride, and a six 0'clock-in-the-morning-before-breakfast hike, tguaranteed an agreeable substitute for dieting.l The Seniors have also been noted for the strikingly prominent figures which from time to time have arisen in their midst, such as .lohn Haskell, the rising drama- tist of Love and Lunatics fame, Edna Issitt, the girl with the distinction of hav- ing Hchewed up the Junction City debaters, and others too numerous to mention. The class of 'l6 has also furnished its full quota of students to every school activity. It is well represented in football, baseball and track. In musical cir- cles, two of the Senior girls add greatly to the popularity of the Girls' Glee Club, and as to the Senior boysgthey are the original guys that put the glee in glee club. In debate, too, the Seniors showed their ability. It was in a large part due to the eloquence of the three Senior debaters that A. H. S. carried off the honors at Abilene and at Junction City. The Seniors have also displayed an amazing aptitude for dramaticsg four of them graced the stage whenfOh, my stars! Here I am more than half Way through with my stunt and not a word about studies yet. 'Sf-use me, please. The class of '16 has always been famed for its scholarship and it wouldn't do at all for me not to mention their achievements in this respect. This year the Seniors have ventured into two new lines of work: the business course and the course in journalism. In both they have been highly successful. This year's war news has furnished some vastly entertaining material for the feature stories. ln American History and in Vergil, the Seniors have been grappling with the respective fluctuations of the tariff and Aeneas' affections. In Physics, one Senior, through painful experience, has made the astounding discovery that copper sulphate is not an edible substance. Experience, my dear friends, is the best teacher. Possibly you may have heard that observation before. But we do hope that we have all profited by the experiences we have gained in A. H. S. and that we will go out into the world better and wiser for them. TXVENTY-NINE one time that great men are never appreciated in their own day. Well' that's
