History of Seniors--1914 N the fall of 1910 a merry band of Freshmen entered the spacious halls of the Chariton High School. Little they knew what was lying in wait for them. But, lol they soon came to realize that marching was an im- portant thing, when they were all brought into the assembly at noon and taught how to march and cross at the landings. Each Freshman was very glad to note that they would be Seniors in 1914. Here we are, SEN1ORSl The ever-eventful year of our eyes has arrived and we are enjoying it. Some may ask what we did-the two years between Freshmen and Seniors. During the Sophomore year many teachers told us how much we knew. Geometry happened to be our strong point. Toward the end of the year, as a reward for our good behavior, our Principal gave his consent for a party which ended the year well and we were fully determined to be better juniors than we had been Sopho- mores. As juniors we were certainly deserving ofthe name. Many showed signs of domesticity and joined the Normal class. On October first, joseph entertained the class and what a time we had, later going to the county fair. Then the time came to organize, a word that sounded like music to our ears. Stageitis broke out among the class and Dr. Lukens suggested a play. This needs no explanation for Charley,s Aunt was one grand success. Of course, along with the winter came the snow, and with our spirits aroused, everyone was determined to have a bob-ride. So on Friday night at seven-thirty, we met at Stantons and by eight were on our way to Beem's. Coming home was the enjoyable ride, one bob turned over-and no one ever mentioned the time we arrived in town. Toward the end of the year the Seniors wished the town people to know that they were Seniors in truth so they unfurled a pennant on the court-house tower. This did not hang long for we juniors, who were always equal to any emergency, deftly took it down. The Seniors were greatly excited and then in turn suspended a junior dummy from the water-tower. This was as short lived as the pennant. This departing class made many more attempts but all in vain. The Nlayor, although not a member of the school board, came forward and kindly told us that this work must be stopped. Aheml When the south row of seats was vacated, we re- joiced at the thought of filling them the next fall. We were so very glad that we gave the Seniors a reception at the home of Mary Foster. Each guest was favored with an American Beauty rose, our class flower. We have now climbed every step of the ladder and stand at the top on the Senior round which overlooks our High School career and are ready to take the step into the world. Our parties are still yet to come. Have we given our play? Certainly. That came before the holidays. Thompson of the Varsity could not have had a better presentation. We now leave our places to the juniors and our name as an ideal for the many classes of the C. H. S. -Vivian I. Conrad.
