Class History The phrophets' realm is in the future. He may (taint his picture as bright as he -wishes. But the historian looks to the past and his work deals with facts and happen- ings as they were. To glance over the memorable events in the career of the Class of June, nineteen six, one must needs go hack to a day in the fall of 1902. a day of which our parents were proud, when we as a class entered the Rochester High School. '06 hardly realized then, as we slowly extended our acquaintance and learned with grass green freshness the ways of High School life, that sometime our class would be graduating from High School. It was in April of the class’s freshman year that, at the completion of the new building on the cast side, the school moved to its present location. ’06 excepting the the annex students, was in the old building long enough to appreciate the new one. Many of those who were at the old building will remember Professor Glen’s room in the old H. R. S., as the place where they began High School. During 06’s Sophomore year the class began to feel more of a unit, with a good yell to let others know that 1906 was in existence. Many times since has the Assembly Hall been tilled with that rousing yell of “Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rix.” When 1906s Senior year swung around a large number of those who had spent three years of High School days in the class, left to complete their course in the new West High School. We wondered on return for the last year where so many of the class's companions had gone. They were missed and we were glad to hear that they were keeping up the name of '06 at the new school. In the class meet, held during the spring of this year. 1906 took first place. The class is following the custom of former classes in regard to a Senior play, in which she will prove her talent. Last fall the Seniors of the West High School showed their attachment and good will for the Seniors of the Last High School in a very pleasing manner, which was much appreciated and will he responded to in the near future. In the Senior dances, also, the graduating classes of both schools are intending to join in a brotherly fashion. '06 through all four years has found a trusted friend in Mr. Wilcox; held some- what at first in awe but now in great esteem. Naught-six lias seen during her course the great growth in the number of High School students in the city, the wonderful development in the High School life and the branching out of different lines.. She has watched the increasing interest in debating, the undertakings of the Latin Department, has looked upon winning teams and read and listened with interest to the literary and musical productions of the school. But naught-six lias not only looked on. especially in her last year have her members been right amongst things and have not let the light of the Last High School fade. If there lias been any lack in class spirit, the school itself has been well served. Many of the class have done their best in service of the school in the different lines—the athletes, the debaters, and musical and literary geniuses and those who have quietly upheld the scholarly record of the school. In these various ways '06 has proven of what talent she is composed. Now 1906 is coming to her parting day. Soon the class will join the throng of graduates and sing the “Alma Mater with more meaning. The door of opportunity has l cen wide open during these years fur the training and education of the class. And now with hearts grateful for all that has been learned, 1906 goes forth, some to put into practice that which has been taught, some to gain further knowledge. But may the different members have clinging to their minds the pleasant experiences in the Class of June, '06. in which they served their school and in which they were served by their school, when as men and women of the world, they look back upon their High School days. May the class ever think of their school with all love and affection and show that the time has been well spent in the training and guidance, so freely given by the school, for the preparation for higher things of the members of the Class of June. 1906.
