A brilliant bunch we were—fourteen in number, and our hearts beat with mingled hope and fear as we ent- ered our new career—High School graduation glory !av before us in all its mystery and grandeur. Then as we entered the old High School on Seventh Street, clouds began to gather, black and lowering. Then the storm burst and we in it 's midst. The new faculty in all it s power stood before us as hungry wolves thirsting for our blood, gnashing their teeth at us and roaring lessons that made us quiver, so that there seemed to be no hope for our little class. But there was sti'l left one little spark of glory, if it had not been for this, we might have perished on the spot. We thought when we escaped the hands of the Grammar Grades we were safe, but we fell into mightier hands when we entered High school science. Thus when we came upon Mt. Math, and a faint essence of science began to tickle our smellers, and when Latin began to ring in our ears, and worst of all when our Eng’ish began to go back on us. our little class began to diminish. So the rest of of us put our shoulders to the wheel and determined to win at least the first year. At last, our first year was ended and we started the second, to find some of that dreaded faculty missing. However, we per- ceived new ones filling their places, who looked to us more fierce than the old ones—but they were not as dreadful as we imagined, and so. since our little e'ass had received some new members, we started anew. But as the months rolled on we grew smaller, until there were only a few left. At the end of the term our star mem- ber. as he deserved to be ca'led,—John C. Marsh, dropped out to study for the priesthood.

32 C IT M T IT X And while we were pulling through that second year, the School Hoard decided that we needed a new building; so they built us one. Thus as we entered our third year we entered our new build- ing, “The Holton High School.” Hut. alas, O reader, as we began that third year the gentle breezes of Roman History gave us a chill of fear, so that our friend Karl Clements, the baby of the class (in size.) who had several chills of .Math, and Latin, which combined with those of History must have been too much for his constitution, as he went out into the world to grapple with chills ot a different nature. Hut, alas, we have between us and that promised goal ”( rad- uation” only one more year. And so onward we press mid storm and calm, though sadly reduced in numbers, but dauntless in spirit, eagerly living for the day when we v. ill be crowned with the glory of Graduation. —John K. Price, Feb. ’18.
