Class Father Time stands at our door ready to turn the hourglass, but let us linger a momcr.t I efore we turn over the next leaf in our lives anil enjoy the pleasant memories of our short stay in dear old Fast High Sehool. It seems only yesterday that we took onr plaees ready to he brought up by our Alma Mater. We were green, if ever freshmen were green, hut liehind that greenness there was a solid determination in the heart of each one of us to make this page of our lives glow with success. The first year was spent in hard study, anil the purpose of nearly everyone in the clavs was to get a firm foundation so that the harder studies in later years would Come more easily. An observer would not have seen that year closely written with the annals of our class, but the first show of spirit came in the winter of the second year. Sophomores, as a rule, have very few class activities, but we were hound not to follow precedent on that score. A subscription list was started for a sleigliride party. Kveryliody seemed to take hold, and one bright winter evening nearly «me hundred enthusiastic sophomores had the sleighride of their lives, ending with a hot lunch and informal dance at the Pinnacle Club House. The whole affair was a success, finan- cially as well as socially, aril since that time the class has stood together in a way for the best interests of its members and its Alma Mater. We were no longer a lot of scattered sophomores, but a unit, working for one common end. and when we said good-bye to our High School at the end of the second year we felt fully able and prepared to hold tl»e respon- sibilities that come to upper classmen. At last the Junior Year dawned with its lades and pleasures, and here tl»e work of the two preceding years began to show itself. A high History standard of scholarship, loyal class spirit, and an enthusiastic interest in all the activities of the school, made our class go through this year with a I.roailcr outlook than many other classes; and. although we did not stand out brilliantly in any one line, we were not oik- sided, and all we accomplished was done well. The Junior Farce ami Prom, events that mark the Junior year, were all up to the standard of the class, and our ft Hows did much toward making that year one of East High's most successful ones in Athletics. That year seemed to pass almost before we knew it. and it was not long before we were saying good-bye to East High for the third time. Our Senior Year has marked a stage in the history of East High School. More than one Senior, and many another student, in fact, was astonished at finding tin Clarion on sale the first day after the summer vacation. This was not all. We found that it was to b? a weekly instead of a monthly p:i|ier. and the issue throughout the year has stood for a newsy, live high school paper. Great disappointment was felt by many because of the discontinuance of the Roman State this year, but the keen interest which it aroused in the study of Kalin in former years will always l e looked hack upon by the members of our class as a unique feature of our High School course. Thus, through the whole year, every- thing has seemed to be working out anew, and the climax came a short time ago when, without any warning, football was abolished in the High Schools of the city as it is played by the intrrscholastic teams. The time soon comes for us to say a final good-bye, hut our memories of East High School will always le pleasant, and we hope that our Alma Mater will take as good care of her coming children as she Ins of us.
