Senior Class History CHAPTER I ND it came to pass in the eighteenth year, in the ninth month, the first day of the month in the twentieth century, that there came into the presence of the Ancients of the high school, a strange tribe, verdant, uncouth of speech, and filled with many strange questions that did appall these Ancients. And they caused much wonder by the queerness of their acts-and they were great in number. And there came a day of darkness, and of gloominess, a day of clouds and whirlwinds and a numerous throng as the morning spread o'er the sky. Before the face thereof, a devouring fire, the like of which hath not been seen from the beginning. Nay, nor shall not be even to the years of generation and generation. And the children of the high school sat many days without desks and without blackboards. And the flu came upon all the land, and school was dismissed, and silence reigned in the markets and in the movies, but few people gathered for many days. And then health was again restored to the land. CHAPTER II And so it happened, in the fourth year of the reign of Superintendent Steen that fire from some source, not known, came upon the Methodist Church where those of the high school were assembled. And Lo! it was ruins, and ashes! And the children of the high school were scattered through the town like sheep that have no shepherd. Then they were gathered together and received wise council for many days in the other places of worship. CHAPTER III And toward the end of the dictatorship of him who was called Owens, Lo, the new school was ready, and it was a great blessing to the students and they rejoiced ex- ceedingly. And now in the high school there abideth Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, these four. And the greatest of these are the Seniors. And the Seniors sent missives to those who were Juniors inviting them to make merry with them. And they came and were entertained so that had they been kings it had not been better. . Now it came to pass in the fifth month and the seventeenth day of this same year, that in accordance with the custom of all high schools, that a great feast, a ban- quet, was prepared by the Juniors and they invited the Ancients and the Seniors to come and partake of this banquet, and it was served in the gymnasium, and it was a great success. And the strong men of the classes held- a track and those who were Juniors amazed the multitude by their swiftness of foot, and their fame spread abroad as winners of the contest. And a drama was enacted and those who saw and heard it were much pleased.
