team. Gregg. Lewis and Clifford. The struggles of the varsity team however pale into insignificance compared to the contests occasioned by the inter-class series in which there was more fighting than basket ball. But 1914 showed that it was as much at home where the blood flowed freest as on the dance floor by beating the belligerent Juniors for the championship in a final game 15 to 9. So this history of our class closes fittingly in a flood of glory and may there always abide with its members that spirit of good-fellowship which exists today. G. B. CLIFFORD. Class Historian.

tSistorij of tbr junior (Class What a glorious thing history is! This is more and more impressed upon our minds as we pensively turn the pages of Herodotus or Newton and Treat, and contemplate the deeds of the heroes of antiquity, so, although this chronicle cannot boast a great deal of venerable rust, yet men of great capabilities and deeds surely very meritorious are recorded here. The class of 1914 entered school in 1910 and at once gave great promise of a glorious future. Seldom, in fact, is such an admirable group of boys brought together. The class was not overwhelming in size but unity and class fellowship were marked. This was no doubt partly owing to the enrollment of the class which numbered just two members. To be sure, disorder arose at some of the class meetings, but as a rule the half of the class that was always in the right quieted the other half and Sam did just what I told him. But now the reins of fancy are tightened and the curb of circumstance is put on the bridle of narrative, for time has swept us on to the fall of 1912 when we gathered at the new school with largely augmented numbers. The class now consisted of ten stalwart lads, whose energy and industry boded well for 1914. Football was the paramount issue of the moment and our class supplied the main part of the team in Gregg. Lewis, Coffin. Clifford, Robertson, Barnes and Selover. The one-game-hockey-team was greatly aided in its contest with St. Paul Academy by Gregg and Clifford who were very much in evidence by their plain and fancy stick-work. Spring was very welcome with its baseball and tennis. As might be expected, 1914 again took a leading part in baseball. The season was very successful, due to Mr. Hadden s fine training and the tireless efforts of the manager, H. Clifford, who contributed greatly by salutary neglect and frequent visits to the Lyric. The fall of the Senior year saw the class invested with a new-found dignity as befitted our senioric station and the class was greatly enlarged by the advent of Battin and Lander to our midst. Especially did the latter add to our publicity department as his voice proved to be as sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. As usual football held our attention the first term and again 1914 was well represented on the team. It is said that more than one game was won by Gregg’s power of invective as well as his fleetness of foot, but this may be an idle rumor. At the banquet after the season, Lander proved that his ability as an after-dinner speaker quite made up for his lack of cleverness on the field. With winter came basket ball, made possible by our fine new gym and the season was surprisingly successful, due largely to the 1914 men on the
