SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (CO NT) Weaver, Chester Krause, Geraldine ,retzol, D -le Grahe , Ide Jones, Marian Evens, Virginia Clam. There v ere so many beys end girls in high school that th y gave our group of boys end girls on extra name they called them Freshm n. The Freshmen feudn high schor'l vas sc- much different . ro.m grade school. There were net so man subjects to study; tut they were so much harder. There was one subject that vss the queerest thing. If you didn’t know vhat it was about, you just said, ’’Lot X be it. Then finally you know what the answer was, even though you didn't knew what it was all about. Then there was a subject they called History; but it was all about dates, only not the kind you cat. Afterwhile the Freshmen found that another school year had passed. After vacation whon they wont back to school again they weren’t fresh-men anymore but they were Sophomores. Being a Sophomore was just like being a freshmen only different. A Sophomore thinks he knows so much more than a green, awkward fresh only he doesn't. He just thinks he does, so oun little boys and girls weren’t little anymore; but they were grown up Sophomores. 'Jell, they hod some other funny things to study. They bisected angles, and dissected frogs; but bisecting an angle and dissectin a frog are just as different as eating toadstools and mushrooms. But the Sophomores had r good time being Sophomores. T-ey were glad they had studied hard whon they wore little as their teachers had told them to so they could do to high school. For if they had not gone to high school they wouldn't have had Mr. 7 oino as Superintendent, who is better knows as Sarg. tc the Seniors; Mr. Bodinger to staunch Democratic Politician” who has gigen his advice tc the Seniors about how to start down life's crooked pathway; Mrs. Crittenden who has given some students Fffis but her ability has led many of The Senior Class out of the mire of Failure to Success; Miss Graham the cook, who never spoils the banquets when it com.s to cats; Miss Mann, the coach that puts the spirit into dramatics; Miss Jdsswein, the hit of the commercial department; Professor Georgie Parsons, the harmless red-haired Irishman; Coach Hawkins, the mighty voice of the air; Miss Buell, the expert at the art of preparing exams. Then school was out again and did the boys and girls go home to play? No, they went home to work for they were grown up now, or they thought they were, so they spent some of their time working. They had to act grown up for the next fell when they • ent back tc high school they wore Juniors. Nor Juniors ere queer people. They knot; sc muejt more than the Sophomores and Freshmen; but they are afield of the class above them, so they spend most of the year giving them parties and banquets, and planning commencement events for them. ThGy arc sort of servants for the high and mighty four year folks.” After the Junior year was over, and vocation had come to an end, what do you think happened? No, the school building didn’t burn. No, they didn’t have any Christman tree. Tfell 1 11 toll you. When the Juniors went back to school again, they weren't Freshmen; they weren’t Sophomores; they weron’t Juniors; they were SENIORS!: They found out that Seniors were the highest and the greatest class in school. And when seniors are seniors, whether they study or not, the faculty looks up tc them because they ore seniors. And the juniors look up to them becauso they are seniors. And the sophomores and freshmen are aftaid cf them because they arc seniors. Seniors get to do a lot of things. They get to go to banquets. They have class meetings. And you know if the faculty doesn’t get mad at them they graduate.
