THE TIGER 1926 1926 --- Class ijistnrn S I scan these brief notes collected during the progress of the class of 1926 through its four years of High School, I feel positive that at some future day there will be many a volume written concerning the era in which this prominent class was making the Dover High School famous When we entered Dover High in September, 1922, we immediately assumed the important burden of being Freshmen. At that time for some occult reason our esteemed Principal deemed it best that we should not organize as a class. Thus our Freshman Year dragged out, and we played the roles of the unknown and the insignificant. Our Sophomore Year was different. We organized early and under the able and inspiring leadership of Miss Florence Smith, we made much of ourselves. The outstanding activities, given for the purpose of increasing our finances were: a cake sale, a matinee dance and a play, the play, “Line’s Busy” was most successful, and was approved and praised by the upper classes, which gratified us immensely. In September, 1924, under the guidance of Miss Freeman and Mrs. Cummins, we came at last into the lime-light as Juniors. Several of our classmates had already distinguished themselves by winning letters in debating, and varsity contests and by contributing a long list of names to the “Honor Roll.” The outstanding features of our Junior Year were two dances. One, a May dance, in which the “gym” was beautifully decorated in pastel shades with a Maypole in the center, and the other, the Junior Farewell, to the Seniors. At last, in 1925 we reached the highest point of our career—we were— in terms of the old song,—“Seniors Blase.” Our Senior Year has been most brilliant. It began with a whist and dance held in Moose Hall. Many beautiful prizes were donated for the occasion and in spite of the stormy weather about three hundred of faculty members, students, parents and friends attended. Other activities of this year consisted of a subscription soliciting for the Curtis Publishing Co., and a similar project launched by the New York Times. The class also held a smaller but very enjoyable whist at the home of Mrs. Theodore Young. We have yet another obstacle to overcome, our final examinations. Judging from the past there is no doubt but that our class will successfully surmount this barrier to progress, and we shall then be permitted to step forth into the arena of life armed with excellent credentials—our Dover High School Diploma. We see before us the great field of success and many prizes within our very reach, if we only heed the admonition of our Class Motto: “The road called Toil leads to the city called Success.” MARY FRANCIS APGAR, GLADYS EVANS Page 19
