This eventful year was closed with a party at Clear Lake, on the last day of school, when we parted until the following fall. Another important action was the election of Agnes Spaulding, Mary Hall, Lyle Chubb, and Bill Desenberg as representatives for the new student council. At the head of the activities column this year were the Junior plays, The Neighbors, Rosalie,', and Lima Beans, three one-act plays which were interpreted very accurately by these younger actors and actresses, and which were received with high acclaim by a large audience. A member of our class was basketball captain this year, a most unusual distinction whicli speaks well for his exceptional talent, furthermore, he was ably supported by others of the class who made up the win- ning team. Football was dependent upon the two Juniors in the backfield for much of the scoring, and the line, during the latter part of the season, was strengthened by the addition of some late-developing' junior material. The debat- ing team was made up of a majority of juniors, whose eloquence sent them into the elimination contests. as shown by the bronze tablet which hangs in the en- trance hall. Those entertainments given by the music department would have been hopeless without the voices of the Juniors. But the biggest event of the year came last, the Junior-Senior reception, first, dinner, served by the domestic science class. then speeches, with Charles Boyle as toastmaster. When this was over, a grand march to the gym. where the orchestra was waiting with plenty of music just aching to be played. Here all forgot themselves and had a good time unt'l the strains of Home Sweet Home were heardg the big event was ended, and regret- fully the crowd dwindled away. Early this year the class was organized. Society has been on a decline this year so far but it promises to boom when the next Junior-Senior reception takes place this spring. However, the slackness in society has been made up in sports. activities, and scholarship. Football was an immense success, this year, with nine Seniors on the team. Eight of these men played throughout the Niles game, the great game of the season, which we: won: by a score of twenty-one to nothing, an achievement not likely to be repeated for a long time to come. Basketball has been going along well, the team winning a majority of its games, and playing good basketball, Max Smith is the captain. The debating team, with two orators from the Senior class, is in the state elimination contest, and bids fair to take a high position. Nor has the stage been neglected by the seniors, as was evinced by the applause for the play, Clarence, . and by the fine showing made by the seniors appearing in the Commercial Club play and in the operetta given by the music department. The Orchestra also has been doing better than ever this year and much of its quality is due to the artists from the ranks of the Seniors. These activities represent only the superhcial part of the attainments of the class, the real part, that accomplished at the steady grind of everyday work in the classroom and laboratory, is by no means lacking. The Seniors Know their onions when it comes to a question of classwork and achievement. The valedictory was won this year by a standing of 96.3 per cent, with thirteen Seniors, approximately one- third of the class, having an average above ninety for seven semesters of high school work. It looks as if most of us were' in a fair way to get that extremely welcome piece of sheepskin, called a diploma, all right, and I should not be surprised if you would hear of us again. page nineteen A6:o o:o omo: 1 7 :xo:o o:o onQ

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. VVe entertained the freshies twice, in the ancient. time-honored. manner, and then, as we owed the for- nage eighteen O20 O20 O20 O20 020 O20 0 o ll H 0 ll li O I1 o II o-i 'JD N 'Nl U o I1 ll o Il H o II 02 o
