 Senior (M xbb History Our first thought as Freshmen was what course of study to pursue. Some decided upon the Classical while others chose the Commercial Course. Having settled this question for ourselves we were told by the faculty that a course in Commercial work would not be open to a Freshman but could be taken up in our Junior year. Therefore nearly forty live little Freshmen settled down to the hard task of studying Latin, known as the dead language, or as we would have said, the language of the dead. In Algebra we learned to use our a, b, c’s instead of numbers. To the most of us this was a very odd and interesting study. In English and Science we had no trouble at all. At the end of the year we had a very good time at the Junior-Senior reception-given at the School building. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we lacked quite a few of our original number. Some had left the High School while others had lingered behind to welcome the Freshmen class. During the year we were rather inclined to mischief such as teasing our teacher by placing alaim clocks in desks which would ring until found by the teacher and immediately silenced, eating in time of school and whispering all the time. Whispering seemed to be one weakness we could not overcome. However, we did not fall behind in our class work as one would suppose. Caesar, English, and Geometry gave us no worry. But in Modern World History class we were asked if we were thinking of the leaves on the trees. We took the finals at the end of the year and were no longer known as Sophomores but as Juniors. We began our Junior year by becoming acquainted with the faculty which consisted of all new teachers. Our course of study was broadened by several new electives and also by the Commercial coui'se. As Juniors we were bound to keep up with the Seniors. One morning we saw a flag of Blue and Gold waving from the top of the water tower and knew that the Seniors were the cause of it. But no tower was too high to daunt the courage of a Junior and the royal colors of Purple and Gold soon took the place of the Seniors’ and remained there. A football team was organized soon after this in which we were represented by Myers, McGriff and Hart. At the close of the football season practice was begun for basket ball. In this we also took part, Myers and McGriff playing on the first team and Warren playing on the second. We all took part in the class play at the close of the year, which was a great success. The Junior-Senior reception was given during Class Week and will never be forgotten by the Juniors. On this same night we placed our flag in the belfry of the school house so that it might wave during the next day, which was Class Day for the Seniors. We spent the rest of the week taking our exams and on the last day received our cards with the word “Senior” on the back. We came back in the fall to find that one of our dearest classmates, Mildred Sarver had left us to finish her high school work in West Milton. But two others, Alice Brant and Lawrence Hollopeter, entered the class, taking her place. We spent the first half year as Seniors in the old building, but one fine, rainy day we dived into our desks, grabbed our books and rushed from the building with wild shouts of joy. Thus it was that we moved into the new building. Having a new gym we also have a fine Basket Ball team. Myers and Warren are the stars for the Seniors. And this, our Senior Year, is the best because it is our last. Page Twenty-four
