12 The Commercial Record SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It is needless to relate the embar- rassment and timidity felt by the Fresh- man class when it first entered Busi- ness High School, January 31, 1919. All the members of this class assem- bled in the auditorium, under the direction of Mr. L. B. Austin, our principal. After Mr. Austin's speech of encouragement, followed the assign- ment of classes. As each assignment was given for the following day, the task seemed more and more difficult. Our hopes were blighted. Would we ever be able to make an A grade on our first report card? Yes, it was pos- sible, and we resolved to try. At the close of the year, practically all the pupils were promoted, for our broad intelligence was noticed by all. Our 10B semester was a remarkable one. At that time, the girls thought it was time for them to be grown-up, so they proceeded in putting their hair up in attractive puffs, and began wearing high-heeled shoes. How hard we did strive to abandon those child-like ways, and adopt new ideas. The semester passed quickly and all were anxious to know what they made on their re- ports. How grand it would be if we could only rank as 10A's next semester, just to think of graduating in five months. After an invigorating summer vaca- tion, we returned full of enthusiasm and bright prospects. We worked hard and steadily, but at the same time we had many pleasures. Among them was a Hallowe'en party which was success- ful. We also visited different places. At last the Freshman class of 1919 are Seniors of 1921. They have reach- ed the height of their ambition and now stand first-class in their school. With regret we are leaving our dear old school. We leave to our friends and schoolmates our best wishes and hope that success and good fortune may follow in the footsteps of those we leave behind.
