That morning was the turning point of possibly fifty, young, and hitherto wild, careers. Bright and early this eventful day each youngster who was to start school for the first time was unearthed from some joyful pursuit, thoroughly washed, dressed in his finest, and escorted, in some cases forcibly, by his mother or by an older brother or sister, to the little fray brick school house on Moccasin Avenue and left in charge of Miss Edni. These new and apparently uncalled-for pro- ceedings on the part of our elders perplexed us to such an extent that we evinced every sign of becoming a model class. , In a short time, however, there was a decided change, and as the new infant prodigies learned the ropes they also learned to evade these barriers to their own ideas of life, liberty. and the pursuit of happiness. for instance, one of our number, Frank Hickok, was remarkably adept at climbing a pipe that went up through the center of the room, and upon reaching the ceiling he would defray all the appeals, entreaties, coaxing, commanding, storming, and fuming sof our worthy teacher, and stay until tired of holding such a high position, when he would slide down and resume his seat. There were also several first graders who were swift and silent in their exit from the rear door of the room into the basement, where by climbing over the coal they could gain access to the playground. Then came an event. The new building was ready and what was more we were the first class to graduate from the new Junior High Department, but with Miss Merritt as principal, believe me, We had to earn it. Excellent exercises were ,held in the new auditorium, and our speaker, Reverend Scherer, gave us a very good talk, though I did not hear a great deal of it, being too much occupied in trying to follow the instructions, Keep feet still, don't put hands in pockets, and try to look pleasant and intelligentfl When the curtain fell, a large load was off all our minds, and we, having found out that it wasnit so painful to be graduated after all, resolved to try again sometime in the future. The next fall we really began to take, an interest in High School life. That assembly room was a trial the Hrst dayg it looked big, and cold, and long, and ruthlessly business-like, and the teachers elbowing about were such utterly un- known quantities that we were afraid to estimate their possible leniency. The upper classmen lounging about with the most enviable, carefree, nonchalant man- ner, utterly unaffected by the disapproving state of George Washington, gazing down from his position over the library door, impressed us immeasurably and we became conscious of something called an inferiority complex. We wondered if by some miracle we would ever get over the disgrace of being a freshman, and whether we might perhaps some time be graduated from this institution called a high school. During our second year things began to come a little more in our favor, we really began to enjoy the life and to feel the school spirit awakening within 'us, In activities some of the class were beginning to starg football was depending more on our representatives to help win games, and basketball, to build up another team to compare with the one of the year before, was compelled to select several sophs. Socially we were received with greater acclaim.
