Riston} of Chester. Dolume 2. Chapter 1924. I. The month of September showeth itself on the calendar. The old Chester High School hustleth with life and activity. The higher classes await in breathless suspense; for the dazzling entrance of the freshest freshmen. “They cometh. they cometh; the freshmen have arrived.” The cry ringeth through the age darkened halls. With the cry the frosh entereth. the gasps escapeth from tne upper classes, for the frosh were second to none. Mother nature had done her best, and the natural color didst emenate from every crack and crevice. Being an intelligent class always ready to embrace opportunity in whatever her shape, and also being an ambitious class, the frosh of ’20 were quick to discard) the sylvan garb and soon assumed the robes of dignity and superiority. The freshmen of ’20 were indeed a sociable class. For did not they stage a party? Indeed and an uproarious success it was. So endeth the year 1921. II. Father Time hath turned over his sand glass and the grains trickleth t.'trough. The month of September arriveth again. The Freshmen some into tne dear old High School, but the class vt 24 once freshmen, never more. Some of the highly intelligent and completely sophisticated Siophomore Class have dropped out. Two new members having entered. Maurice Coyle, and Thomas Kennedy. And so the Sophomores went, sweating, g.oaning, working until Bountiful June didst relieve them of their toil. III. Once more hath the ninth spoke in the wheel of time been reached. Once more the old building rings with cheers and declamations. The Class of ’2 4 whose progress I have been crudely tracing are now “Juniors A new mind guided and a new head directed. Mr. Elroy Heob and his competent stafT had taken charge. The “Juniors were indeed the best class in the old High School. To show their business ability the Juniors decided to steer a Lyceum Course. The ship weathered the storm and was safely brought to port after a few close calls. Verily the Class of ’24 was a sociable class. Wherewith to prove their socibility, they “put on a party at Hilda Heuer's House It was indeed a success wherein. Magic. Spiritualism. Mystery and Music reigned supreme. Truly I say a glorious success. April comes around and the Juniors gloriously “strutted their stuff at the Junior-Senior “Prom . So endeth the term. IV. September morn doth make her appearance. Encore the old edifice is cheered by young voices and new faces. The Juniors are now Seniors. They carry their dignity well and honor their position. Was not the old C. H. S. fortunate to have such renowned, redoubtable Seniors. With the rose goetli the thorne, so with the work Seniors is linked the work “toil . An annual to be produced, a class play to be produced, and commencement to be gone through with. But did not the results show clearly how strenous effort and cooperation can conquer difficulties- The year is done and the best class that has ever made its appearance in the old C. H. S. is gone, “Never to return”. —Thomas Kennedy.
