XVhen as Freshmen we assembled Zllltl closely resembled those who are bash- ful and green. The Seniors gave sneers LEON.-XRD RAIDER . lease Bail 41, IU and our eyes filled with tears, the Juniors all whistled illusion. The Sophomores came last and forgetting their past, laughed loud Basket Ball CHI, IVJ Class Play CIII, IVJ Track Sorrows of Solomon i:Q222'.l12Q l Mamger Oracle at our mingled confusion. But in a short V'Ce'P1'es 'e'1t Afhelem ASSOC' UV? time we all fell in line and gave no ear to XVhat is so rare as a day Cwithl ,Tuneg Thea, if ever, Came pa,-rect ,iaysyr suggestions, and when the tests came we all took the same, and did pretty well on the questions. So thus we proceeded and vastly succeeded in gaining some good ieputation, and this I can tell, we liked school quite well, when it came to the summer vacation. The next year we came back with as much knowledge and knack as be- came a great class of our standing. XVe didn't act queer as we did the last year, by standing abashed on the landing. XYe all came upstairs without any cares for the noise that our big feet were making: and each stamped his feet and pounded his seat when the Freshmen came in all ashaking. All win- ter long to signal and song we came to receive education. But when school was out we scattered about to grow more food for the nation. The very next year we came back with a cheer and found a new outlay of teachers. But we did our best and soon were at rest, for they were pretty good creatures. Then we started a race to get in First place in order to win fame and glory. It took quite a while but we did it in style, as is shown by the following story. The nrst of the fames was the basket ball games where the Seniors were soundly defeated. And when a great Junior athlete starred in the class meet, the Seniors were far less conceited. XVe hung up our banner in a challenging manner: their madness and fury were double. In a grand tug of war we beat them by far and gained first place for our trouble. Our junior class play then came in May and we won success by this deed. It surely was funny and furnished the money that went for the great Junior feed. Last fall we came to add to our fame we had won by our unceasing labor. SIXTEEN

But when the cups came we threatened the szune, so they sidetracked the dreams of their slumlmers. Thus we rule here till spring and we'll loose not a thing, welll guard off all strikes and Home Rulefl And as hold as 21 steer we'll finish this year as leaders of Delphi High School. 'When we started our drive we had eighty-tive, but some have fallen down hy the way. So we'll not have as mzniygthough there'll still he El plenty, at the Commencement program in May. Our high school career will surely end here, we have won fume and glory riplenty. So letls give three cheers for the bright future years, of the class of Ninteen :ind Twenty. M. M. sr:yux'1'EEx I
