Senior Class History . Hazel Shelford ’09 It was one beautiful morning in September, 1905, when a class of fourteen gallantly entered the Cloverdale High School building to begin the duties of student life which was to last for four years. This was a class that could not be surpassed by any other, for in Latin and Geometry they took the leading place. Our high school days, perhaps, would not have been so widely known had it not been for the entrance of such a large and bright class, that inspired the student body to organize the O. V. L. society so widely known throughout California. As freshies all went well, receiving great praise from the teachers, and taking a prominent place in the O. V. L. society. Then vacation came and we were all glad to spend a few months of rest, putting aside our school work. When school began the following term, we all found we had taken one step higher, and were now Sophs instead of Freshies. Although many of our classmates did not return to their studies that year, those remaining made a ' record for themselves. Little by little we were gaining the top of the ladder, until at last we found oursevles Juniors. It was this year that we distinguished ourselves in basket-ball, winnig the first game we played. Our class at first numbering fourteen had now diminished until there, were but four in number. The four years have at last rolled by with only one Senior left to enjoy the honors that are usually bestowed upon them. 12

C. H. S. SPECTATOR 13 Junior Class History In 1906 the present Junior Class From Grammar into High School pass. Bashful Freshmen, ten in all, Enter the large Assembly hall. English, history, algebra they do; Such Latin students none ever knew. They are the first when it becomes a rule To give a picture to their loved school. When Sophomores by two they do diminish; Eight members are there now who hope to finish. Two athletes have they now of wondrous fame. Class record in its studies is the same. At last five members enter Junior year, Whom all the other classes do revere. Of great importance is this little class The seniors boasting only of one lass. And now their Junior year is almost done, They glance back over their work and fun. And looking to the future, too, they see That soon wise seniors they are going to be. Hazel Browne ’10.
