Carson, Louetta Cordier and Chas. Keen as our guiding stars, we en- tered Cowan High School with an enrollment of sixteen. Like any other Freshmen, we were trodden under- foot by the Seniors, and consid- ered in general very much of a nuis- ance. Even after Christmas, when we moved from the old store building into the new school building--and traveling is supposed to he an education in it- self--we were about as popular, I should say, as a combination of the seven plagues. In fact, four ot' our classmates dropped in despair, during the summer: Glen McDonald, Rozella Harris, Walter Tuttle and Edward Gamble. As Sophomores we asserted our in- dependence and insisted on being un- trodden upon. Russell Ross and Jolm Metzker, two vauable basket ball play- ers, Vienna Jones and Mary West re- fused to be classed with us, so de- parted. Eva Neff entered our class, however, as a balm to our troubled spirits over the departure of our class- mates, and Ray Cunningham came, saw and conquered his desire to stay, all in one term, and though we appre- ciated his fleeting visit, we would have appreciated a longer stay, much more. Altogether we acquitted ourselves quite creditahly under the tender, fostering care of Charles Fewell as Superintend- cut and Mr. R. E. Eilar, who might ap- propriately be called Shorty, Maude Michael, our basket ball fan, and Dolly Sutton a lady of uncertain temper, as assistants we did not have a very good reputation, however, for some inex- plicable to us reason. As bonny Juniors, blithe and gay, we entered next year, and our roll-call held only thirteen names. Unlucky number, so no wonder four of our classmates dropped out during the term: Wayland Peacock, Zelma Rink- er, Ermine Garrett and William Hale, still, with Mr. Fewel as superintendent, Miss Michael and Miss Ryan assisting him, and Mr. Eilar as class patron, we were begged, bribed and coaxed to learn, until now we are nearing the close of our Junior year. And next year we start as Seniors! With awe in our hearts we gaze at the seats, which we hope to fill next yearg and though they tell us that, collective- ly, our class is worth less than nothing at all, still, I think, individually, we will prove that our class is after all, even collectively, like our colors, true blue.

The characters were all praised for their ahility to imitate and for the ease with which they did it. The High School audi- torium was crowded and everyone praised the characters. The play itself held interest from the moment the 'curtain went up until the final lowering. The vivid characteristics ot' life and of the tangled webs that are woven as one mounts the stairs of m-atrimony were humorously portrayed in spite of the grave conditions that confronted the Little Savage. The play was staged hy Miss Michael who deserves much credit for its success. QT! QU DAD SENIOR CLASS WEEK Sunday, April 22, 1917-7:30 p. m., Baccalaureate Address.
