IVOWI VVow! CLASS HISTORY. AUGUST 15, 1960. S I was walking down the street June 19, 1960, I ohanced to meet an old man who at once attracted my attention by the brilliant red and White ribbons which were flying from his button hole. Looking into his face I perceived that he had such a benevolent, intelligent, countenance that I stepped up to him and introduced myself. Ho received me very pleasantly and after conversing for a few moments I happened to remark upon the ribbons which he was Wearing so conspicuously, '4IVell, said he, 4'I'll tell you, Ilni celebrating the anni- versary of my graduation day. You see my class graduated from the Duluth Central High School, June 10, 798, and that is why I am Wearing thc High School colors, red and White.

, T Up tolthe average! he exclaimed indignantly. Well I should say we were! Why that was the most remarkable class that ever graduated from the finest high school in our land. Now just let me tell you a thing or two about that class. As I re- member we entered the High School in September of '95. Such a large bonny class, as we were! Talk about freshmen being over- awed by the airs and graces of the seniors, why the seniors simply weren't in it with those freshman. We were over a hun- dred strong, and had airs and graces enough, not only to supply ourselves, but also to help out the seniors. We seemed imbued with the notion that the whole High School, and three upper classes, existed simply and solely for our benefit. We entered upon our iirst year's work with the bliss born of ignorance, but before we proceeded far, we discovered that High School work is not all bliss, but a great share of it good hard work. Most of us swallowed the bitter dose manfully, though a few objected and were obliged to leave their comrades. ' We passed through our freshman year safely, and the fol- lowing September 'bobbed up serenely' as sophomores, and- oh, our dignity and importance as sophomores Cin our own eyes at leastj. I heard one of my classmates remark in a tone of triumph, 'Well, now we have 07716 class to look down upouf The ease with which we divested ourselves of the idea that we were ever freshmen was truly remarkable. We also began to show our originality in many other ways. Our original Caesar translations threw our teacher into ecstasies of admiration QPU, and as for the 'originals' in geometry, no one can say that our demonstrations thereof were not original indeed. About this time we reached the conclusion that 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,' and gave a dance. I never could remember names very well, but I think it was in Odd Fellows hall. Then we settled down to work again
