•AS YOr L1KK IT. The Class of44Fifteen Naughty Fours. Hazel Lynn. It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you this remarkable class of Fifteeu Naughty Fours. and I am surely correct when I say remarkable. as I will now prove t you. Let us look at the composition of this class for a moment. It can boast of skilled musicians, artists of decided ability, budding scientists, aspiring school teachers and literary geniuses. I remember very well that September morning of eighteen hundred and ninety-nine, when lifty-fonr eager little Freshmen made their bow to the “First Year Room.” NVe chose red and black as our colors and were doing very well, wc thot. for Freshman. But lo and behold! Superintendent Hippensteele soon favored us with one of his “common sense talks and then all our brilliant plans suddenly shared the fate of all air-castles the class club was no more. During our Freshmen year, our youthful spirits were twice brought up against the hard realities of life. We lost two of our members by death. As Sophomore we numbered a round forty, and this forty was much braver than the fifty-four Freshmen had been just the year before. As Freshmen, we had been too timid to come boldly forth and attempt class organization. We naturally wanted to imitate our elders, the Juniors and Seniors, who held class meeting whenever they pleased. But our hopes were again dampened by our superintendent, and then wc were truly discouraged. However, we got his consent toward the last of school, an I organized. We chose Will Buzzard president of the class, and La Von Shaffer, vice president. But, perhaps, we best remember our second year by our.class picnic. It was the last week of school and as we had no examination one afternoon. Mr. Mippjusteel was kind enough to give its a half-day' holiday. We at once decided upon having a picnic. Although it was a rather cold day for such an amusement, and e | ecialh for ice-cream, we all had an enjoyable time. Hard work was the main feature of our Junior year. But it wa then that we proved ourselves students indeed. One hard lesson after another was mastered in Geometry. Physics, and Latin, and our history debates proved such a source of wonderful interest, that the teachers, superintendent. and all pupils would lay aside their work to listen to the Junior decide whether the death of Julius Caesar was justifiable or n t, and whether Henry IV of France was justified in changing his faith. Moreover, many visitors soon made their appearance, each one feeling that he might learn something from hearing the wise Juniors descant List year we were successful in holding class meetings whenever we chose. Class spirit ran high, and the boys, even more loyal then the girls procured caps with a neat little “04 on them. But. naturally, the Senior year is fresher iu our minds than any other. Each member i loyal to the blue and white, and is proud to say: “I am a Senior of '04. Indeed, so loyal are we. that we couldn't refam from writing ‘04 iu every crook and corner of the school room this winter, and. finally through rivalry, with the Juniors-, we decided that '01 would look pretty well on the standpipe. And then, to be sure, the flag of blue ami white wa hoisted on the schoolhousc by the ambitious Seniors. Now I must pass on to the time when we were eagerly waiting to give our “midwinter. ” We intended togi.e Shakespeare's Comedy. “As You Like It.” had our parts assigned, the time set. and half the play committed, when here came an emphatic “no from the school board. Then about fifteen little Seniors went around with “their hair standing on end. I have briefly told our ex|»crience in the High School for the past four years, and will leave it to my colleague to itcll what prospects await this brilliant class in the future. Pago Thirtoon
