In this profession one has the chance to reach all classes of people, the laborer as well as the aristocrat, The Teacher who guides a pupil through the earlier part of his life, leading him to the founts of knowledge moulds the future of that child, Education consists in training not only intellect but also character, When the child enters school he goes from home and mother to strange surroundings, Naturally he observes every word and action of his Teacher, And as a lasting’ impression is easily made upon the mind of a child, the habits of a Teacher’s lifé are often displayed jn that of the pupil.

‘GelitE-sS PeArR - — — -—— Ninteen Hundred Five. 4 CLASS HISTORY BY RAY THOMAS | All great things deserve a history, and we, of the class of ‘05 consider its deeds of enough importance to be recorded, On the morning of September 9, 1901, twenty-one fresh looking boys and girls met at the high school building and were shown to the main assembly room, where we were given seats, in the first two rows to the west, by a pleasant faced gentleman whom we recognized as our new principal, Mr. Tyner. Soon the other seats began to fill and by half-past eight nearly all were taken. The occupants of these seats, Sophomores, Juriors and Seniors, took many privileges which we, being only Freshmen did not dare. Soon Mr. Harmison came in, and in a short address spoke of our duties and obligations as students of this fine high school. Then les- sons for that room were assigned and we began to work as well as we could considering the new surroundings, and the thought which would rise above everything else—that we were now students of the Auburn High School. Soon we went to the room across the hall where we found Miss Hodge awaiting us with a smile. Here new lessons were assigned and we found that Miss Hodge would have charge of the Ancient History, Latin and Literature, Mr. Tyre: having the Algebra. The office course, conducted by Mr. Harrison and Mr. Tyner was also popular this year.

Only eleven of the students who were wiih us at the end of the Freshman year returned, but two joined us making thirleen Sophomores, It was a year of hard work in Caesar, French History, Geometry and English Literature, and the year passed without and event of special mention. At the beginning of the term of 1903-04 ten of the former class returned. three having withdrawn. One joined us making eleven, for the junior year. This proved to bea very event- ful year as class spirit was very high and all the classes organized. We elected Maud Harrison, president; Rosamond MclIntyre, treasures; and Drusilla Baker, secretary. During this year our class showed its spirit by giving a party to the three other classes and faculty. This proved so popular that the other classes also tried their hand at the entertaining before the end of the year, but none seemed to be so much enjoyed as the first given by the juniors. Although busily occu-
