i THE HIsToRv QF THE cLAss OF 1908 Returning to Binghamton after an absence ofafour years, I found that our dear old High School was no longer in existence. In its stead, there was a vast new building, equipped with elevators for the use of the stu- dents, a great auditorium and, most important of' all, possessing a campus, not merely a back yard. Let me also mention that every Hoor had ai rostrum, for study of course. I That evening as I sat musing over the marvels of the new building, I fell asleep and dreamed of events in the history of the oldschool and its most illustrious class, the class of 1908. P First, a number of children, rather small people perhaps,'came' to the High School, one winter day. Not knowing where to go or what to do, we were forced 'to askadvice from mocking upper class men. Woe for those that followed some of their counsel. At last, however, we .were safely' enrolled in the first floor Bible Classes. How dreaded were the drawing glasses, 'how perplexing the Algebra.. The trials and tribulations of that first term were many. ' i I Finally, having grown in knowledge and height, we ascended to the second fioor, where we were warmly received by ,lVIr. Knox. There we marveled to see that a boy actually dare speak to a girl in school. You see, our training on the first fioor was different. A y , - Q We struggled -along through the mazes of geometry and the mysteries of- German pronunciation for a long weary time. But at last we so impressed the Faculty with our brilliancy that we were sent--not to the office- but to regions above. ' ' Over and over again, we heard Mr. Jones' speech about young gentlemen. The girls profited by his instruc- tion, I believe. , I A Anna Hinsdale entered into competition with Fancher to find out which could be late the greatest number of times. - t - I , I At first, the rostrum was a puzzle to us, but soon we also were initiated into its mysteries, and have spent many happy hours there. ' 1 ' i . Now there came a great event in the history of the school. Our class, the class' of 1908, was officially or- ganized. Mr. Madden was elected our first president and William lVIclVIahon -appointed himself Grand Ob- jector to the class. Since that time Mr. McMahon has performed his official duty to his own great satisfaction. , ,ao a -- . ,,i, our , .. , 77
