The History of the Two Year Graduating Class On the cold morning of February 4-, 1918, we, a crowd of raw recruits, had our first glimpse of Sehurz life. We gathered in the Assembly Hall after a long search for it. Here we were divided according to our choice of courses. Aftr, registering our names and our courses, we went home. The next day our life at Schurz began. We were assigned to our division rooms and given a program. Then the diliiculty of finding classrooms confronted us. Usually we reache dthe right one after traveling over the entire building in search of it. We soon became accustomed to the way things were run, and the rest of our first semester glided by smoothly under the guidance of our ever-faithful teachers. Our first party was held in May, 1918. We were entertained by Alice Ander- son, who gave a comic recitation, and by Stephana and Kazmira Banks, who played a violin and piano duet. The rest of the time was spent in dancing and enjoying ourselves. ' In addition to our regular school work in our second semester were the various war dutiesl The'Red Cross drive and work, liberty bond campaigns, the tinfo-il, and various other drives monopolized most of our spare time. This busy semester went by very quickly, and in February, ,1919, we became sophomores. Our third semester was the most eventful of our high school life. At hte beginning the Orchestra, of which a few of our class were members, gave its annual concert. Many of our classmates were out of school because of the flu epidemic. The happiest occasions were the two peace days and the return of the' Prairie Division. When the basketball team won the county championship, some of us had an unauthorized part-holiday. In June this happy year came to an end. In September, 1919, our last semester began. The proudest moment of our high school career was, perhaps, the time when we went to the Assembly Hall with the other upper classmen to hear a recitation on Abraham Lincoln. On November 4., 1919, our class was organized, and the following oiiicers were elected: ' ' Lillian Kujawa .................................. President Helen Stoelting .... .... V ice-President Dorothy Besch .......... ..... ....... S ec retary AliceAnderson .... . ..... ........................Treasurer On Tuesday, November 25, 1919, we held our first class party. As it was a Hardtimes Party, we had many laughs at the quaint clothes some of the students wore! Thus have our two years of high school life glided by, smoothly, filled with the events of our small world: We must now begin our long journey down the great highways and byways of life.
