Senior Class Poem Whither ’midst friends adieus While in the future lies thy greatest hope, Far through the varied days wilt thou pursue Life’s long entangled rope? Seek’st thou the distant goal Of teaching, or life of farming men Or shalt thou be a teacher of the soul, Or writer with the pen ? For years thy mind shall seek In the dark future some light held dear, Yet quit not because of hardest task, Though the dark night is near. But not all shall be thus Some future day shall thou recall And many times, thou’ll think of us, In the Clear Lake High School Hall. Thou’lt think of the many times thou spent In both bright and gloomy weather And thou’lt not easily forget the days that went. While we studied all together. Remember Our Senior year Our faculty, comrades, and then Profit by the motto we all held dear, “With the Ropes of the Past we will Ring the Bells of the Future.” —Mabel Bjorgum. The Purple and White We selected the purple and white as our class colors, because in every way, they express our superiority. The white is the symbol of purity. We, and all who know us feel that we are a “white” class. We chose purple as a good combination with white. It represents a superiority that can only be brought out in the imperialistic purple. Our class flowers, the purple and white sweet peas are chosen to emphasize the beauty of our colors. All this, these colors mean to us and after the passage of years we think reverently and honorably of the Purple and the White.

History of the Senior Class On September 3rd, 1919 we entered high school. Our coming was a source of pleasure for the upper classmen it seems, for they gave us a royal welcome to our new home. Our class, however, was not complete, for on the third day after school had started we received a new addition of three boys, Theodore Benson, Donald Scherf and Clair Burrill. With these new supporters we started on our first school year. After the upper classmen had finished abusing u,s, we thought we would give them something never to be forgotten, so we got down to business, and all quietly assembled one night at the school house for our Freshmen supper. Unfortunately the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores had “gotten wind of it,” and came down to relieve us cf our “eats.” We were too fast for them, however, and saved our lunch. Consequently, we went without lights most of the time, which kept Mr. Kinney running down stairs the greater share of the time to turn them on again. All things went on smoothly and at the end of the year, we received oar report cards and the good news that all passed into the Sophomore class. Alter the school picnic, graduation exercises and other things, we left school for three months, until September, when we all returned, bright and smiling, ready for another term. We were very delighted to find we had another member, namely, Mabel Bjorgum, who furnished more fame for our already famous class. This time w’e were not very bashful about entering school as the Freshmen soon found out. We enjoyed the Freshmen party to the utmost and while we have the time, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to them for the good time they gave us. School was not so humdrum this year and we had a lively time with our party. In our Junior year, we were on one of the most importaht years of high school and were proud to say that we conducted ourselves accordingly. We gave candy sales, the proceeds of which went to the Junior and Senior Prom. In school affairs, we believe they could not have done anything without us. In Athletics, we had a place of distinction, all in all, we were a class that were doing our best to boost and raise the standard of our school. For the third time vacation came, but this time it seemed to pass by more quickly than ever, and after three short months we aga;n assembled at the dear old school house, where we spent one more happy year together. As all Seniors should, we labored earnestly and thoughtfully with our studies, striving to reach the zenith of High School knowledge. As in the years before our boys and girls took important pares in all athletics. Ihe time for fun and frolic has passed and we have become very interested
