Senior History S the Seniors of C. J. C. 21 are about to finish their history, let us look back over a few of the pages of this interesting chronlcle. In the fall of 1918, four froshes entered the academy and college; one small boy and three smaller girls. Roy Wendler, a rustic young chap, came from way down south of Walla Walla in Dixie to take a business course. He was quite a bashful youth as he first came across the study hall and sat down in hIS new- ly assigned desk. Rose, having finished Ferndale High that Spring, came to Columbia to try to gain the accomplishments of a lTschool malamf, Florence and Alice trudged daily to school with a Latin Grammar and an Expression note- book under each arm repeating such whimsical expressions as lTamo te amas- ne me? and liRoll 0n, Thou Dark and Deep Blue Ocean, R0113, But all were happy, so their history says, as usual freshmen are, and glanced with longing eyes at the Seniors, whose places they had feeble hopes of holding some sweet day. The year 1919 was a disastrous one for this class. Rose went to Vincent to teach, Roy came in about the first of November and the others were greatly disturbed by the raging epidemic of flu. School was closed for about six weeks, putting extra work on us all at the last of the year. However, the three who were here, were active in school, society and all played in llIf I Only Had a Million? We were Sophomores, but even small children with the minds of geniuses demand respect and attention. We had lost most of our freshmen characteristics and were to be looked upon with reverence. The following school year was no better, we find, in the number of Juniors, now Seniors, who attended C. J. C. Florence and Alice alone seemed faithful, for Rose was teaching in Hep pner, Oregon and Roy was working on a farm near Walla Walla and did not come until the beginning of the second semester. Much class spirit was shown the latter part of the year and a memor- able hike and weiner roast was given the Seniors of 20 by the Junior class. Still the Juniors were active in school affairs and upheld :the good name of their Classes.' ' And now they are Seniors, dignified and pompous. Their wistful longings have materialized. But two more members have been addedeEula Hobbs, from College Place College, and William Rice from Medford. The class is small but active. Eula, Florence and Alice have given their graduation re- c1tals meaning years of hard work; Rose'favors the community frequently With violin numbers and William has translated Virgills Aeneid perfectly. A more illustrious, capable Class has never have grown in every way during our years in old Columbia and we will always look back with joyous . recollections on our days spent in our Alma Mater.
