24 THE RESUME Senior Class History ON entering High School in September, 1919,we stepped high, wide, and handsome until we bumped up against the first senior when alack—our hopes were all dashed to pieces and we all at once found that we were the undertrodden, instead of the mighty, we thought we were. We soon learned to step aside and let the others pass, but oh, how we longed to attain that height when we, too, could feel the way they did. In the spring we were permitted to give a play, thus we have had the honor of being the only hreshman Class which had given a play in Bradford High School. On entering school the second year a few of our orginal number did not accompany us. This year we felt a little more elated because we found that we had the Freshies under us and now we could see them step aside for us. At Hallowe’en we had a party at one of the members home and again in the spring we aroused our spirits by having a picnic. We merrily rode through our Caesar this year and although we were inclined to be puffed up we managed to stand well with our teachers. As we entered school in our Junior year we found our class dwindled from forty-three to twenty-seven. The first half of our year was spent in the old school building and the second semester we moved one rainy day to our new building along the road. It was a happy day for us as we Juniors had been compelled, because of the lack of room, to use the auditorium for our assembly. In April we gave our annual play in honor of the Seniors whom we highly respected. At last we have come to the long looked for time of our High School life, but we regret that we so soon have to leave the High School we so well love. And now as we leave the High School forever we regret that we have not made better use of our time while here. We sincerely hope that we may have been an example fit to be patterened after and we thank the faculty for their patience and for having made it possible for us to be so able to enter Life’s Walk.
