I0 THE RECORD Senior Class History September 5, 1918! On one side of the world men were at death grips with one another. Cannons boomedg bayone-ts flashedg machine guns puttered, mowing down with sinister precision hundreds and thousands of men. The Four Horsemen stalked the length and breadth of Europe, leaving in theirwake grim tragedy, pestilence and the awful correlaries of twentieth century warfare. On the other side of the world civilization wlas painting another and much different picture. The forces of Education were marshaling their latest and youngest draft. Hundreds and thousands of children six years removed from the cradle were marching into a twelve-year battle with the powers of daI'KI1eSS-1g- norance and its allies. They clattered into s-cores of school bulidings bearing in their small hands pencils, tablets and other requirements of their erstwhile call- ing, a bit frightened iby tlhe strangeness of the events which had overtaken them. but orderly and eager. We were a regiment in this army. MTwelve years have sped since those days --years filled with pains-taking effort, happiness and accomplishment which en- titles twenty-four of our members to .the coveted sheepskin. However, as if deter- mined to make up in quality what is lacking in quantity, certain members of our class have already left their footprints on the sands of time-impressions which have brought honor to the school and Won for it state-wide recognition. Outstanding among these accomplishments is the oratorical championship of the district, embracing thirteen counties. For two consecutive years the plaque symbolizing supremacy in this extra-curricular department has decorated the walls of the school. Won originally by Ruth Zilch in 1929, it was retained this year through the efforts of silver-tongued Robert Standen. Our class has two outstanding athletes which have done much toward circu- lating the fame of the school in far places. Alfred Sharp and Milton Hutton dem- onstrated an unusual versatility shortly after entering high school land 'have con- tributed a great deal in the last four years to upholding the sporting traditions es- tablished by older predecessors. Football, basketball, track and baseball in Am- herst have derived increased impetus from the activities of several Senior men. We originally numbered among our members fa little fellow with a Webster- ian brow known as Adam Callen. Adam performed the phenomenal feat of' gradu- ating from high school in three years-with honors. In reality a member of the 1929 graduating class, we claim him as amember since he started his high school career with us. Go-getiveness is a quality which we claim and far from being a mere boast, here is our evidence. We won the Record subscription contest for the last two years. Seniors starred in Dulcy, Peg o' My Hear-t and In Old Vienna. Sien- ior scores in typing and scholastic conitests have helped make Amaherst rivalry feared by competing schools. If I would write a history of our class thirty years from now, judging by past records, the tale would include biographies of a second Babe Ruth, Knute Rockne, Rudy Valee and Patrick Henry. Twelve years of lengthy working days have produced genuine ability and ambition, We Wish to exnress our appreciation to the teiachers for their fine work and to all whom we leave behind we give the best wishes for future success.
