HISTORY OF CLASS OF ’21 History is the narrative of events. It is a record which must be made whether we wish to make il or not. The four years of High School history of the class of “twenty-one” may be compared to the months of March, April, May, and June. March comes in like a lion but goes out like a lamb. Thus, we as Freshies came from far and near to Gary in September of nineteen hundred and seventeen. We changed, however. We calmed down as the Sophomores removed our fresh- ness. It was a wonderful experience learning this new life of taking strappings, eating “zip,” struggling with measles and failing in self-government. We lived through it all, though, and left school like lambs. We went away for vacation, giving each other hearty handshakes and saying: “Sec you next year, comrade.” April is a month filled with dreary rains, and yet it ends with the sunshine and glory which make the flowers of May bloom beautifully. The history of the Sophomore Class of nineteen hundred and eighteen was similar to the month of April. The “Freshies” ot nineteen hundred and seventeen came back Sophomores. Like the rain came the “flu” to dishearten us. Many were ill and who can forget Superintendent Dry’s lectures on staying away from Raleigh? Then to increase the darkness the boys’ dormitory burned and many of the boys were left without a place to hang their hats. The sunshine came. It came in the guise of a Fresh- man, Sophomore and Junior reception. The news came that the Armistice was signed. The great world war was over and our brothers and friends would soon be home. When vacation came the sun was shining brightly, and many made plans to return the coming Autumn. May is a month of joy and flowers. So was the Junior year of the class of “twenty-one.” It was filled with jov all through the year except for a slight mar caused by the “flu.” Then Cary High School boys carried off honors at the Inter- national Livestock Show at Chicago. It was during the Junior year, that the first copy of The C. II. S. Echoes was published. It was filled with joy and happiness like the month of May. “What is so rare as a day in June?” “Then, if ever, come perfect days.” What is so rare in High School life as the day of Graduation. This year has been uneventful except for work. Few have been the adventures in “Xo Man’s Land.” Three of our boys again won honors at a stock judging contest held in Salisbury. Thus we came to the rare day happy and filled with aspirations. Oh, how different is our view of life now from our view when we were “Freshies.” Back in seventeen we thought we would never get through school, but now we look back and think what a short four years it has been. Though we drift far apart in the great adventure of life, we shall always look back, dream and wish ourselves back in dear old Cary High School. L. J. S.
