 Senior Officers President Cam. MacWright Vice-President (Fatherin'k Schneider Our Ihm year in Columbia High School is rapidly drawing to a close, and soon the joys and sorrows that we. the members of the class of 1918. have known here, will become memories. Even now, though the past war is remote to us, we are to be rememberd as the first full ( lass to enter and gradu- ate from Columbia in the initial three years of peace following the war. Many Columbia students whom we did not know died in order to secure for us that peace: and now, at last, we are ready to repay them, by preserving it. These past three years have been filled with un- forgettable experiences. We are not likely to for- get that first year, our sophomore year, when we finally hit the big time.” We were easily recog- nizable by the trusty Highlights we carried with us constantly, and by our awed and bewildered ex- pressions, so characteristic of sophomores. We im- mediately joined clubs and committees, our talent manifested itself in the Sophomore Dramatic Club productions, and when, for the first time, we sat in the cheering section at Underhill Field, we be- came an integral part of Columbia. We viewed with equal enthusiasm the basketball and baseball games which followed until, before we knew it, exams were upon us. The long awaited summer vacation passed quickly and we returned to school assuming the role of the studious junior. No longer lowly sophs”, we immersed ourselves in studies in order to attain that seemingly un- attainable average which would assure our accep- tance in college. Our talent was again displayed in that off spring of the Pre Junior Night Committee, “Time and Tide”, which broke all previous records by demanding a third performance. With a wonder- fid musical score, a French girl, and an American boy, chcrchczing la femme , plus many complica- tions, the show was worthy of its acclaim. Then, alter weeks of spirited campaigning, came the school elections which were followed in June by the graduation of the senior class and many sad farewells to graduating friends. Finally, September, and we were seniors! We easily acclimated ourselves to this lofty position, and soon were busily engaged, in contrast to our junior year, in a multitude of obligations and extra- curricular activities. Appointments had to be made for yearbook pictures, the planing of the Mirror began immediately, the Senior Play Reading Com- mittee assumed its responsibilities, applications had to be sent to the various colleges. College Board Examinations taken, and college conferences at- tended. As our last class production, we offered Edna Fcrbcr and George Kaufman’s Stage Door, and the show, with its comparatively large cast and complicated plot, was extremely well received. Finally, in this, our last year, there have been many innovations in Columbia: the acceptance of girl cheerleaders and twirlcrs, the procurement of new band uniforms, and lastly, the introdution of music into the cafeteria during lunch periods. The activities mentioned on this page cannot accurately reflect the spirit of these past three years. Before the picture is complete, consideration must be given to the friendships that have been culti- vated. the knowledge gained, and the happiness that lias been ours here. 6
