p9 THE 1923 LEADE1-L9 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the beginning, in the twenty and 'fourth year of our Lord, in the ninth month, and on the sixth day, there entered into the Dennison High School six and sixty seekers of knowledge. Ifikewise it came also to pass that we were received with malicious glee by a certain band of wild beings who were called Sophomores, and who, because of their fierce taste for Freshman blood, did pounce upon us daily and nightly, and did cause us to suffer great things. And as we dwelt long in the land we fell in with the customs of the inhabitants thereof and our strangeness wore away, and we each became among the rest. And lt came to pass, after some months, that the eyes of the class were turned and many began to make excuses and quit. So at the end of the Freshman year we had only fifty-two seekers of knowledge. Now came the beginning of the second year, that a new band of youths came up from the adjoining territory, and the Class of Twenty-eight, in the new dignity of our promotion, remembered the days of our own greenness and as the Sopho- mores of our day had done unto us, even so did we do unto these new Freshmen and did show no mercy unto their sufferings. In this year of hardships, our burdens were lightened by the joyful advent of that dangerous sport, football, and the positions on our conquering t'?J team were aspired to and held down by numerous Sophomore boys. And thus, with many bruises and sears visible on the countenances of our gallant boys, the year ended with the ringing of hells and the blowing of horns. After entering the portals of our magnificent hall as flighty Juniors, we organ- ized our class of four and forty, electing the mighty Hart as Sponsor, Eugene Finney as the Honorable President, and Wilma Maxwell as our Secretary-Treasurer. The remainder of our time was taken up by getting our financial conditions in good shape for that gala event, the Junior-Senior Banquet. First, our parents were harassed and troubled by our insistent demands for pies and cakes for the Junior bake-sales and then by our pleas to buy tickets for our Junior play, Backbone-. Then it came to pass that the Junior-Senior Banquet was pulled oft' with much pomp and splendor. Now, at the beginning of the end, disdainfully the Class of Eight and Twenty settled down to business in Room 8, under the able sponsorship of Mr. Young. However, many times during the year dignity was forgotten and the laboring Israelites gathered at one of the many pleasing class parties and enjoyed themselves without the restraining hand of Miss Brown. And now, having enjoyed themselves greatly, the Class of Eight and Twenty settled down to hard work and little fun, that it might make of this Leader an equal to all past ctforts RUTH I.AMNizc:k.
