“The Night Brings Out the Stars” CLASS MOTTO What a wonderful tribute Byron paid to the glory and beauty of the night, when he said: “The Stars are forth; the moon above the tops Of the snow-shining mountains-beautiful! I linger yet with nature, for the night Hath been to me a more familiar face Than that of man; and in her starry shade Of dim and solitary loveliness, I learned the language of another world.” What a familiar, but still unfathomable mystery is night to all of us. We watch and wait for its coming, bringing with it peace and a soothing influence, but still giving us a feeling that some super-natural power has taken control of this earthly sphere. The most beautiful part of night is the glory of the stars, giving us an idea of the greatness of God and covering the earth with a mysterious and subtle atmosphere. In every life there is a night time, when happiness and the light of day are replaced by hours of care and sorrow, and, young tho’ we may be, yet we have learned some of life's lessons, formed in our minds an :dea of what night is and also discovered that we need these hours of darkness. In them we come face to face with ourselves. They bring out the strength of goodness and virtue in us, and, by doing this, prove our worth and show whether we are worthy of com- mendation or condemnation. It is the night that brings out in us the stars of faith, love, hope and humility, and brings us into closer communion with the Creator of all things. Classmates, our lives are just beginning; we realize but little what life is and what the night of life is. But, let us never forget that our fate is the fate of all, and as the Star of Bethlehem led the wise men of the East to the land of Love and the Prince of Peace, so may the stars of night lead us thru the darkness of discouraging environments into the blessed sunshine of success, prosperity, and happiness. So, when the night seems especially dark, let us remember that every night must have a dawn and let us strive to make the dawn of our night brightest of all............ 16

Class History The Class of ’26 We, the class of '26 of the Cascade High began our troubles and happiness twelve long years ago. It was in the year of 1914, when most of us started, not all here, however, only two have journeyed together, through the many long terms of school, at last to separate. Elizabeth Sanderson and Pearl Taylor began together, and for two years were the only two girls in the class, but in the third grade they were joined by Lucille Roloff and Annie Hewitson. These remained long enough to gain our sincere friendship, but left us at the end of the seventh grade, to continue school elsewhere. We greatly appreciated our teacher during the third and fourth grades, who is at present Mrs. F. C. Vanatta, of this city. In this year we were joined by Gordon Bradley, Edward Seaton and Marshall Perrine, but the former only remained with us a few years and then passed on to a larger school. The consolidation of schools proved to be advantageous, for many new classmates were admitted who have stayed to graduate with us. Nellie Jemison and Junior Lyman entered school at this time. In our sixth grade we remained the same group; but in our seventh grade we were joined by three brilliant sixth graders who were too smart for their own class, and were put up with us, namely, Frances James, Helen Hughes and Evelyn McCormack. They were supposed to set us an example, but we still ruled. We were also joined here by two more of our beloved classmates, Creta Wilson and Georgia Marsh. Then came the eighth year and with it those dreaded state exams. At the first of the year we were joined by another of those studious seventh graders, Bill Shanklin. Most of us entered the C. H. S. the next spring of '22, as queer little freshies, 31 strong. Several of these came from parts of the country near here; most of them have left us, however. As freshmen, we were made to toe the mark, for the rest of the High School, especially the dignified sophs, showed us what High School life meant. We secretly enjoyed this life, however, and many times were the victors in battles, including the initiations, as which a free-for-all fight was staged. But we soon forgot the hard feelings the sophs had caused and settled down to work. In a few weeks we entertained in return at an assembly party, and they enjoyed it, as we proved good entertainers. We were joined by another of our classmates, Mabel Strunk, at this time, who decided to try her luck with the rest of us. 17
