“Class of 1913“ THE annals of this famous class date back to October 4, 1909, when we entered this High School of Commerce to make names for ourselves that would last forever We arrived when the building was in great confusion, but we settled down to hard work. The one hundred and thirty-three members who survived that first year, feel that they would willingly again endure the things they did for the pleasure of at last becoming Sophomores. If we judge a man’s success by the amount of energy he expends in trying to become proficient in his work, the members of this class will some day become great men of the world. It is seen even now that the Sophomores are among the hardest working classes in this school. They are always willing to try to do their best in everything they undertake. Many of our number were so unfortunate as to be unable to carry on their work after their first year, but because of the new plan, whereby the pupils are promoted every term, their loss is not ielt as severely as it would otherwise have been. Those members of this Class of 1913, who are left, are the staunch ones and their influence is felt by all the pupils in the school. Our becoming Sophomores has made us more serious and it has also made us more proud of our school. Our members have made the class famous because of their standing in athletics. If investigation were made, one of the main reasons of the success of athletics in this High School of Commerce would be the fact that the Class of 1913 has stood behind all things with might and main. Some of the best athletes in the school belong to this great class. In our different classes, debates have been held at regular intervals with Mr. Weimer and Mr. McMylcr present as interested listeners. Mr. McMyler has an eye open at these times for material for the Inter-Scholastic Debates. This fact encourages the pupils to do their best and as the subjects are always interesting, the debates are well worth hearing. This goes to show that our class is good for something besides athletics. At the Edaudivid our members were again prominent, and they took parts in the different events. At the “candy sale” we further increased our popularity and we did our best to make it a success- Taking all things together, we think and hope that we have left a record behind us that will endure forever, and we hope that this class shall be able to keep up its fine record in the years that will follow. We also hope that the classes that follow us will keep up the record of the Class of 1913. 80 LIONEL RUSSON, 1913.

room that had no existence except in a Sophomore’s brain. It took our thoughts back to our first day in high school. Next year we shall be Seniors, and the aim of our endeavors will be reached. Seniors, let us then say farewell to Junior habits for we will have to appear dignified, as is becoming to Seniors. THOMAS V. MURPHY. 1912.
