1927 THE ECHO Tage 29 Class History f Four years ago in the fall of 1923, we, approximately 200 students who had, the preceding spring, received our diplomas from the four different elementary schools of this city, began again our school career which was to mean for us a new and differ¬ ent work in school life. The Assembly Hall of the old Salisbury High School was thronging with new and expectant pupils. The important question for debate that morning was whether we should take Latin or science. Friends tried to persuade each others to take the course to their liking so that they could remain in the same room. It was this way, however, that many intimate frienes became separated from each o.her. The grief caused by these separations was not of long duration, however, as new friends were soon made. Mr. John assigned us, that morning, to our rooms where we became acquainted with our home-room teachers. There were three science rooms and three Latin rooms which shows that the students were about equally divided in their preferences for the two courses—Latin and science. The number of Latin students out-numbered the science students by a small number, however. One thing that was especially new and indeed much to our liking was the fact that we did not have to look at one teacher’s face all day but we had a very nice variety. Our daily routine finally, after many amusingly green acts, became settled and our freshman year passed away without many very definite happenings. The outstanding event, however, was the examinations. It was at this time that some of our school mates really started down the road to failure. It was in the summer before our entry to school again, as sophomores, that our well-loved superintendent, Mr. Andrews, left us. His position was taken by Mr. Phillip whom we have all learned to love and esteem. When we entered school in September 1924 we were sophomores and indeed we felt our importance. We felt perfectly at home now and there were not any days lost in becoming acquainted with new regulations. Our school work became for us a little harder but not hard enough to burden any of us greatly. As sophomores we began lo take more interest in the social and athletic affairs of the school. Some of the students went out for the various athletic games while practically all of us became acquainted with more students. It was also in our sophomore year that we were bereft of Dr. Harpham, a great science teacher. Every one loved Dr. Harpham, and when the news of her death reached the scholo every one was greatly shocked. Our junior year proved to be a greater year for us than any before. It was then that we organized and took our place among the leaders of the school. We, as juniors, began to work on the Echo, our school paper; then too, a greatei numbei ot our boys and girls were picked for the highly esteemed varsity teams. The new high school which had been anticipated while we were yet sophomores was beginning to be realized and the student body was informed that they w ' ould enter the new building at the beginning of the second term. Everyone was overjoyed at this news oi enter-
