MEMORIES ’2 6 Resume' of Our School Days jl N THE fall of 22 the Southside of the auditorium of the Old High School Building was occupied by approximately one hundred Freshies. The first day saw the Glass of 26 elaborately dressed, with beaming faces, parade the school from room to room, like strayed sheep. In the early part of the new year we moved into our new building. Again, but not alone (the other classes were also unfamiliar with the new building) we strayed like lost sheep. Here we had a wonderful time admiring new blackboards, woodwork, chandaliers, etc. We studied also the eloquent, favorable and otherwise of the faculty faces, surveying their new strongholds”. As Sophies we spent most of our time reviewing arithmetic; having previously studied time , we counted the minutes of the day. Concerning books and printing, we agreed with the mob that attacked Lovejoy. Our song then was: Oh, it’s nice to be in school. It s nice to be in school every day— It s better than to stray. Its nice to be in school, and use your dome; It s nice to be in school— But it’s better to be at home. Our Junior year was one of the jolliest years of our lives. It was one continuous round of Social Events”, the foremost being the Christmas Festival and the Junior-Senior Banquet. Our Senior year is well expounded in the few pages of this book. Page Fourteen
