SENIOR GLASS HISTORY The first day of school ninteen hundred and nine, four Freshmen entered High School and called themselves “The Big Four,” whether anyone else thought of them as that or not we will not venture to say. The class was composed of Esther Gross, Ada Terril, Paul Fisher and Maud Weatherholt. The first three attended school here all of their lives and the last one joined the ranks in the fourth grade. These members however were the only survivors of perhaps two dozen who were in the same class in the grades. The first of October a strange gentleman entered High School and when we ventured to ask who the person was, we found that it was the Honorable Mr. Herschel Baker. He had finished the eighth grade at the Landis school and had come here to take the four years’ course. The next year Annie Laurie Suflfern came from Pierson after having completed the ninth year’s course at that place. She had to miss much school on account of sickness, but in spite of this she “made good.” The next two years we had bad luck, for at the beginning of the nineteen hundred and eleven school year, Esther Gross did not appear. We certainly felt lonesome for she was the life of our class. If you remember, she was the one who told Miss Hale that a noun was “a word that asserts. At the beginning of “our Senior year. Ada Terril started to school but came only a short time for she soon moved to Oregon. The second day, Mary Colyer came from Garrett to attend school. She was graduated from a three years’ course at that place and came here to take the rest of the High School course. It is hard to tell where Helen Davis “blew in, but anyway she hasn’t considered herself in our class until this year. She started to school here in the seventh grade but completed the four years’ course in three years. There were four of us in the first place, but after adding and subtracting, we now have a class of six, two of which were members when we were Freshmen. Maud Weatherholt, ’13.
