he Clan of 1926 ' 'r In the year 1922, when we entered the ninth grade, it was evident that the Class of '26 was to be no orrlinary Class. ' Qur freshman year passed without many exciting events, but this was partly due to the fact that we were cooped up in the Junior High, where we had little room to expand. Upon entering the high school in the fall of '23, we received the customary initiation which we accepted as a taste of school spirit. In our Sophomore year we were represented m every branch of sport and school activity. The first thing we did was to win the Pep stunt. This fact made fthe upper classmen sit up and take notice, and when a member of our class won the declamatory contest., the Seniors and Juniors began to respect us. The boys of our class who entered Athletics proved to be excellent for beginners. At last, we were Juniors, and realizing our responsibility we dug in and passed a most successful year. Our strength was beginning to 'tell in athletics, as a number of our boys were eligible for membership in the C Club. To close the year successfully, we gava- the Seniors a royal banquet. The Senior year, the year we had been looking forward to, finally came. Our class was again in the lead. One of our members was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the Orange and Black and a girl was elected president of lthe Girl's Athletic. Association. A number of boys received their letters in football and the Captain of the basketball squad was a Senior. The battle for the life of the '26 Tiger was fought and won and work commenced at once. A carnival given for the benefit of the Annual was a huge success. Leaving behind a splendid record, some of us will go to college, others into the business world, but we can never forget the happy times we spent in Cl. H. S. The general success of this year is due largely .to our class sponsor, Mrs. Penquite, and we wish to thank her for what she has done for us. The class also extends their thanks to the faculty for their willing cooperation. As we leave our high school we wish the greatest of success to the succeeding classes and know that they will do their best for the prosperity of U- H- S- -CLASS or 1926. TT CLASS MOTTO A Place in the Rank Awaits Us.
