Senior Class History I GD N September, 1923, about seventy young seekers of knowledge entered Bowie High to undergo the many trials and tribulations which every Freshman Class i has to bear and take from their upper classmen. They called us green, and sy- -rf so as not to make their accusations false, and to reveal the kind of substance Q9 'll 'I ol . 4 3 li QI 'V-'vs A of which our hearts are madc, we chose as our class colors Green and Gold. 'L Clovis VVatson was elected president, and proved so eflicient that he has -'7 been our leader through the four years. It was several weeks before we could go to class without someone stumbling into the wrong classroom and coming into class a few minutes late. The only sad part of our Freshman Year was that we were isolated in Hall io of the old shack and many times, when our minds were deep in study, the strains of music wafted through the doors and the clapping of hands reached our ears from the other hall, where only a brave Fish dared to thrust his head in even to get a peep. Dan Cupid, who could not resist the temptation of there being so many pretty girls in our class, interfered, and has continued to do so each year, this has carried away some of our members to enter the bliss of matrimony. How sweet is revenge! And ours came when we were seated in Hall II as Sopho- mores. How important we did feel among the Juniors and Seniors! VVe began to look upon high school with a more pleasant aspect, for this was really our first year to partici- pate ir nigh school activities and to really know what high school means. This year was noted for many important things, among them being the coming of Mr. Lyles and Mr. Martin to supervise us and to lead us successfully through high school. Our Junior Year was thrust upon us before we really realized it, and there loomed before us through the entire year that responsibility that determines the triumph of every junior Class, and that is, the Junior-Senior Banquet at the close of the year, which I hope every Junior and every Senior of '26 will think of Hours as a glorious result of the work- ing spirit that made it possible. Another great event of this year that cannot be excluded is the moving into our wonderful new high school building, the pride of every pupil, teacher, and citizen of Bowie. VVe, the Junior Class, staged the play, Am l lntruding? on the opening night of the new auditorium. Previous to this the ability of many capable actors had not been displayed on the stage. The first Senior Class to go through this splendid building the entire year is some- thing history cannot fail to give notice, and which every Senior of '27 will remember with pride in days to come when we are no longer pupils of this school. May each Senior, after leaving high school, look upon those days as the happiest of his life, for very soon we enter the world a different person in that the responsibilities have been shifted from thc shoulders of someone else to ours. -..if Senior Class Poem Thr day: hafvzf fomr amz' Ihr dayr hafvo goof, Thr' months hzwf turned to ywar.r,' Yrt time has not made swift the flight, Nor tho fmturf' with any fears. .-Y: fwo fvirion Ihr future :I lovely jvirtun' fwilh rolors oj hrilliant hun: Looms up just beyond,-and forgoitrrz, then, Thu lfH'Ill0fit'.y eww mn nwwr lorf.
