CLASS OF 1916. THE Seniors have asked for our history. They know we are not yet a year old, and it goes without saying that we have no history. But we have a F-U-T-U-R-E, and that is what counts. History indeed! The present is ours, and the future looms bright. The past is gone. Who cares? We are doing things at present, however. Ask our teachers. They will at least stand up for the “Hats.” You might ask why we shouldn’t be good scholars. There isn’t anything very hard about the “D” work. Algebra and geometry seem to be the hardest for most of us, but why should algebra be hard ? One of our teachers said, “It is just like arithmetic, only it’s algebra.” And scholarship is not the only thing we excel in. Some of us are pretty good athletes, and we are all glad when our day for taking “gym” conies. Besides all of this, one of the members of our class plays in the orchestra. It is not much of a representation, but we had to let the other classes make a little noise, and they seem to think we are too fresh to be allowed much honor. But they all had to commence as freshmen. Even if we are beginners, we are important enough to have a Candy Sale, and more, we had a day all our own called “Flat Day,” which was especially for the “D’s” and their friends. On that particular day the “D’s” had seats in the front of the room, usually reserved for Seniors. Some memliers of the class gave a play called, “The Visions of Youth,” and the entire class sang, “The Song of the Flats,” to the tune of “Hail Emmanuel.” Even Mr. Hoover said we did well. Our having a “D” day really shows what the faculty thinks about us. They are wise and want to win our good will, because they know that next year we will come back as Sophomores.
