That was the date of my graduation and of many others who composed the well-known class of that year. Yes, that really was some class whose actions began in that far-away ninth grade. We felt quite proud as we returned to school as freshmen, and we began to take an active interest in things. The year was not very eventful for us, but we thrived on the experiences of u ppe rclassm en so that we would know what to do when we rose to fill their places. Time passed rapidly, and we soon found ourselves on a step nearer the top; we were sophomores. The tenth year proved to be one of great activity for this energetic class, as we elected the people under whom we would strive to attain our goal. These leaders were present in Joseph Bate, our ambitious president; Paul Pilecki, our cheerful vice-president; Leroy Schlagel, the one to whom we intrusted the headaches of our finances; and Alice Grain, our speedy secretary, who took care of all correspondence. Our activities began to form at this time and continued throughout our junior year, keeping us busy with movie benefits, sale of Christmas cards, and skating parties. How I remember those skating parties, especially the black and blue marks that resulted when my feet could not remain in rhythm together! Time slipped by so fast that before we actually began, so it seemed, we were in the midst of our senior year; we had reached the top rung of the ladder comprising four years’ high school work. Immediately, we were tossed into the task of compiling material for our yearbook; our class athletes had become leaders of the respective teanft; and our high school days were about to close. Graduation was set for June 16; our books hail all been returned; our farewells had been said; and then the night arrived. It seemed but an instant from the time that we entered the auditorium until we left it—our school life had ended; the road of life just begun. 14
