Class History TO look back over four years, full of good times and exciting events, and to reproduce them in short form, is no easy task, and only the most important events will be mentioned. One bright morning, in September. 1903, a merry crowd of girls and boys gathered on the steps of the old annex on Chestnut Street. Here was the beginning of the Class of June, 1907, and here we trade our start in High school life. Although we were alone in that small building, and apart from the upper classmen, we soon introduced ourselves through a Modern Comedy of Errors, which we presented in the Assembly Hall. The success of this entertainment reflected great honor on the class, since no other freshman class, either before or afterward, attempted anything of the kind. We shall never forget the good times which we had, and the many happy days which were spent in that old annex. In our sophomore year wc entered the new building and came in touch with real High school life. During this year we again attempted and success- fully accomplished something, which had never been done before, namely the publication of a High School Song Hook. While we were enjoying ourselves we were suddenly shocked and grieved at the news of the death of Miss Lockwood, who had been our l est friend during our first year. The class received this news with great sorrow, and expressed its heartfelt sympathies. May the name of Miss Lockwood ever remain in our memories as that of a kind friend. Every one will remember how eagerly and enviously we watched the seniors going through their celebrations and longed for the time when wc could do the same. Rut. alas! time passes too soon, and our good times arc almost over. When our junior year came around, the class was more of a unit, and a little more class spirit was shown to be in existence. The class went to work with a will and the result was shown l»y the success of the Junior Farce, and, especially of the Junior Prom. Seniors at last! The time when we should be in our glory arrived and wc were ready for it. During the three previous years, '07 was gradually working up to its Senior year and was getting ready to make it the most successful. Everyone realized that if he was going to do anything in school activities before he left school, he must do it right then, and student organiza- tions contained more representatives of ’07 than bcforc- Thc Senior Play is well under way, and we hope that it will eclipse the success of all previous classes. Hut '07 must soon come to its parting day. When the ceremonies of Commencement Week are over, ‘07 will be no more. Some of us will com- plete our education in higher institutions, and some will go out into the world: but wherever we may he, the recollections of '07 will ever cling to our memories. Although not a class of many athletes. ‘07 has its shining stars in other lines. She possesses many bright students and clever actors, who have made a name for themselves. In musical and literary lines, 07 has helped greatly to spread the reputation of the school. ‘07 has borne herself nobly during the four years, and will leave with flying colors. Long live ‘07!
