9?tmir (Haas ifiiatnru ) C N SEPTEMBER, 1910, we, the present Senior class of the North Manchester High School, entered the old Assembly room, as Freshmen. There were thirty-six of us and Oh, how timdily we gazed upon our adored Seniors and the sneering Sophomores, whose delight it was to poke fun at us. Soon, however, they all opened their eyes in wonder at us, for we developed into the most brilliant Freshman class that had ever entered tin High School, not only in tin regular class work, but also in debating, for we won in debates with Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. But we did not receive proper respect until the assembly room was enlarged and the eighth grade admitted. Then all tin sneers were directed towards them, and we spent tin rest of our Freshman days in peace. The times quickly passed and soon we assembled again, as Sophomores. It appeared very strange to us. but nobody seemed to realize how very important we wen . Jt was not long until our heads regained their normal size, and we then remembered that we had only advanced one step from the Freshman stage and still had much to learn. We set to work with a will and before we realized it, we were Juniors. By this time our class had diminished to twenty-three. A great many pupils had left, and several new ones were added. This year we were permitted to organize, and it was with a feeling of great pride that we met for the first, time by ourselves. We elected Ross Uman. president, and Iconise Beachley, secretary and treasurer. After choosing our class colors and flower, we indeed felt that we had something in common. Now, we received our one great shock. On all occasions we were reminded that our work was below our standard. Of course, since we knew that a great deal more was expected of us than of ordinary classes we worried very little, and in this carefree state we became Seniors. Twenty of us have reached the long-sought-for goal. We are Seniors. This year Arden Strauss was elected president and Devon Olinger secretary and treasurer. At last we realize how much High School means, and in looking over the short years since we were Freshmen we feel that if we have not done as well as we should, a least, we have accomplished something, and as we go forth to assume new responsibilities, we hope that the members of the faculty will not feel that they have labored in vain.
