15 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We the class of 1920, began in the dear old High School the first year it was built. There were forty who entered the familiar old doorway in 1908. 1 he only ones answering “Here’’ to that roll call are: Robert, now our president, who cried, when he saw the ladder of school years, which he had to climb; but he took courage, grew brave and now we all depend greatly on him. Irvine, and Lillian b etter known as Sis-ter, came to school together that first day, saying sweet things to each other along the way, and myself, just as I was then, except a little taller, larger and wiser. As we have journeyed onward climbing the ladder, we have gained trom all parts, boys and girls, of different types and temperament until we’ve reached our class of 15. On the second round we picked up Elizabeth, who has always been very studious, and who is popularly known among students as “Miss Finch.” As we stepped up to the third we were startled by a sudden boisterous greeting. Looking back we saw the irrepressible Carver who with one hop joined us, the charm of being away at school has turned him from us several times; but he was always seemingly very glad to scramble back on our Ladder, and tonight is perched on the eleventh round with us. We took two steps and there Machie, our joker, came greeting us, with a yarn, and Florence, with her pleasant countenance stepped on beside her. At the seventh Minnie singing and dancing came along and even though on a ladder she can’t keep her feet at 45, also Frank with his splendid repartee and good understanding. Then Nettie, of the nimble fingers; and Louise, though a small representa¬ tive, nevertheless a very worthy one. We were glad to welcome them both. We stumbled through the ninth and tenth with fairly good luck, all twelve clasping hands, with a resolution to have as a motto, “Work.” This year three more were welcomed, Virginia, whose serene eyes and charming personality has won us all; Mary, very Quiet, dignified and studious, and George, “the Handsome,” an inconsistent lover and splendid English stu¬ dent. Had they not come, our class could, never have seemed Quite so c omplete. Tonight we find ourselves together for the last time, ere long we must disband. I hope that for each member of our class, a happy future lies in waiting. I can make no happier wish for you one and all than, that as you go through life, each of you be surrounded by many friends as congenial to you as you have been to me.
