Class History-Seniors For three years or more, the greatest and most important deeds that have been performed by the Class of 1914 have been kept a pro- found secret. It now becomes our duty and privilege to give an account of our most wonderful achievements, so that our under class- mates may thereby protit by our example. FRESHMEN. So long as you are innocent fear nothing, but press on Until overcoming all difficulties, one by one, the goal you have won. In the Fall of 1910, we entered High School with an enroll- ment of seventy-two. The corps of teachers then consisted of Mr. McClelland, Mr. Griffith, Rose Witcher, and Pauline Abright. Those green freshies remind me of a fellow who has lost his best friend, thus spoke a smart Senior boy to one of his classmates. Here comes one of them now, let's have some fun, what do you say? Just as this remark was concluded, an ignorant looking boy stalked into the laboratory. Hello, there, kid, have you got lost from your mother ? I am sorry to say that we have not seen her. By this time Mr. Freshman was gaining in temper and he dealt Mr. Senior such a blow that he was sent sprawling to the Hoor. The outcome of the battle was that Mr. Senior had to beg the lad's pardon and thence- forth the Freshman Class of 1910 was treated with due respect. It also might be of interest to mention that we took our share of the burdens with a good grace and never shrank from any duty that was ours. By the close of the term we were initiated into full fellowship and good standing with the teachers and the remaining students of our dear old Altus High. SOPHOMORES. Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall We returned in 1911, more determined than ever to secure the best knowledge with which opportunity alone could make us acquainted. It goes without saying that our class had greatly de- creased in number. Some took up their abode in other cities, and some left the state entirely, while others-alas! how unfortunate !-- that they should fall a victim to Winged Cupid's darts. Among those who received the fatal blow were our most dear and beloved teachers CMiss Hoffmeister and Mr. Griffithj. We, as students, with a desire to finish the high school course marked out for us, had long since learned from experience that there could be no foul playing. When the race was almost ended, we re- doubled our strength and made the grand rush of our lives. We can boast with pride that not a single one was defeated. Thus closed a most successful and prosperous school year. '
