Class Histor 'I' SEEMS a long, long time ago that we entered this high school. It was a bright and peaceful September morning when we presented ourselves at the door of this splendid institution of learning. We brought along our diplomas from the eighth grade, most of them in costly frames, and after being closely scrutinized by diverse teachers, medical examiners and janitors, we were duly entered as freshmen and started on the road for the Land of Great Wisdom. Many people gazed at the twelve beautiful and charming young ladies and nine bold and dashing young gentlemen as they started in quest ofx the Fountain of Perfect Understanding. We had entered into a new world and found our surroundings most novel and interesting. After wandering around from room to room for some days trying to learn what studies we were supposed to pursue we settled down to business, some well satisfied with conditions and others feeling sorry they had ever left the eighth grade and plunged out into the untried depths of high school life. At first each teacher seemed to try to see how unbearable he could make life for the worldly wise freshmen. After a time we learned it was not meanness on their part but what they were pleased to call discipline. After we ot ac uainted with the teachers and became accustomed to their excellent, H Cl though some think, peculiar manners, we loved them all and our affection has not ceased even unto this day. Even when they marked us 45 on our examination papers when we thought we should have received 95, we have never wavered in our admiration of them, one and all. Soon a strange malady seemed to seize our members and caused them to act with much strangeness of manner and they did grapple and wrestle with each other with much rage and seeming fierceness. After wise men had made a careful and searching investigation of all the peculiar symptoms, they pronounced the complaint nbasketfballf' We were assured that it was contagious. yet it was a necessary evil and must be allowed to run its course, and that it was wrong for anyone to attempt to escape the infection. So during the cool months the disease ran its course, directed but never controlled by the school authorities. All of those affected recovered. Toward the end of our first year the question of going on to graduation came up in the minds of many. Most of our members were strong of heart and said: Wewill carry the banner to the end of the course unless our beloved teachers pluck us by the way. But some said: I must go out and earn a living, therefore, I cannot graduate, and so for various reasons our class was much reduced when the second year of high school began, With what a 'different air we entered as proud. masterful Sophomores to that of the preceding year when we were humble and timid Freshmen. There came into our midst a great number of Freshmen whose greenness could never be described. We remembered the days of our exceedingly green actions and the savage reception given us by the Sophomores, so we assailed the newcomers even as we had been assaieled. Many were the triumphs we won as Sophomorcs but we were anxious to come into the limelight as Seniors and receive the applause of the multitude, so as we bade goodbye to each Senior class we realized we were one step nearer the goal of our ambition. As we entered the Iunior class we sang, We're Sitting on Top of the World, or at least we called it singing. We gave only the most pitying glances at the poor Freshmen as they sneaked into the building and only nodded to the Sophomores. We were upper classmen. As we were always fond of starting something new, we started the custom of giving a class play
