THE CLASS OF 1920 4...................l........,........4. NE hot morning in the early part of September, 1919, pupils began streaming over the bridge to the beautiful new East High School. It was easy to distinguish the Seniors from the lower classmen, their heads were held just a little higher, their air was a little more self-reliant. A Madisonville car stopped and off came throngs of boys and girls who, like the man in the fable, had one eye weeping, for the school they had lost and one smiling for the one to which they were coming. A large green bus stopped and off tumbled the pupils from Pleasant Ridge. Boys and girls came from all directions, some on street cars, some in machines, and some walking. A great deal of curiosity was displayed in inspecting the buildings, the teachers, and our classmates. We were very anxious to get acquainted, and our eyes glanced here and there picking out the Seniors. For the first few days we were busy trying not to get lost in the strange building and thus lose our reputation as wise A graders. W'ithin a few weeks we became very well acquainted, for we all realized that we had but one short year together in our wonderful new school. The football games made us all forget that we had ever gone to Hughes, Woodward, Walnut Hills, or any other school, and with loud cheers we pro- claimed our allegiance to East High. Each day, as we worked and played together, our love for our school and our class became greater. An unexpected holiday on October tenth, when the Reds won the pennant, was a great day for us. High school pupils crowded the town and the movies in true holiday spirit. Our A grade dance in December was a great success, everybody went and everybody had a good time. After the Christmas holi- days, we came joyfully back, glad to be with our classmates again. We should have been supremely happy had not someone remarked, Mid-year exams begin February second. Gloom descended on us for a time, but all such times must pass and exams were finally over. The Bgrade gave us a reception March fourth. The music was alluring, the floor was smooth, and the punch was laden with the flavor of tropical fruits. We knew that our place would be taken next year by a class which did things right. As spring came we began to realize that we had just a short time left to take advantage of every minute. We looked with envy at the lower classmen who would come back next year and take our places. We shall never work and play together after this year, but the memory of our year at East High, the first class to graduate from there, will be a lifelong pleasure. I n the years that will come, Wherever we may roam 5 There will linger in mind and in heart Some thoughts of our crowd, f And we're sure to feel proud, - For in life we shall do our part.
