Senior Class History Through the ages that have passed, as all good stories say, we of the class of '24, have valiantly striven that we might attain that-to a Freshman-very de- sirable status known as Seniorhoold. For four long years, more or less, we have studied HJ the arts and sciences with commendable energy, and then, in the course of time, the month of September in the year of Our Lord, one thousand, nine hun- dred and twenty-three arrived, and we again trod the paths leading to Old A. H. S., we came w'h the sense that now we were those august Seniors, whom we had envied and respected for so long. To some, the feeling was one of disappointment. The thing was not what it was cracked up to be. To each, after the first few days of enjoyment of the discomfiture of the lowly Frosh, came the realisation that the po- sition was one of responsibility as well as of enjoyment. So, throughout the year, we have found that Senior subjects require an application and perseverence, that at first may seem difficult. But with the approach of the end of the time, we know that we have been benefitted, and the ways and means have been numerous. Within us we find a new respect for those men and women who have so un- selfishly given of their time and thought as our instructors, and a new gratitude to the parents, who have given us our opportunities: a new attitude toward work, and a new desire for service. These things we have found within the walls where for many years we had walked all unconsc'ous of the treasures in store. But with the advent of compara- tive maturity has come the realisation of new desires and abilities. We might tell of the victories on the field, floor, and platform, in which we have had a party but show us any Senior Class that cannot boast of similar laurels. If we have anything of which we may be proud, can we not find 't in the hope that we have helped, not only in the past year, but also in those that have gone before, to strengthen and uphold those traditions of fa'r play and clean sportsmanship which are the life of Ashland High? Soon we will have gone. ln future years those who come after will speak- and will it be in tones of respect?-eof the Class of '24, and it is our earnest hope that we may have proved worthy of the name of Seniors and of our school. ,
