KERAMOS 31 ur New Home OR a great many years the graduating class has been saying: We wg are especially honored because we are the last to go from the old building. Every year the next class is thinking, We shall be the first to enter the new building. But every time they have The New High School Building. been deceived and both honors have been left for the best class, 1915. But then our class is one of distinction, so naturally that one must fall to us, too. Our distinction has sometimes been one of discredit according to some people, but that mostly happened in the old building and of course we have adopted the dignity worthy such a fine dwelling since we have entered it. And, too, our class is the only one left which had part in that can- vassing of the town for votes on the school bond issue and we undoubt- edly did our share, so this great honor is not unmerited. ' But now that we are in this magnificent structure there are a hundred obligations as well as privileges, placed upon us which former classes knew nothing about. We are expected to give entertainments and all sorts of things so that the public may have a chance of seeing our pretty auditorium, of which we are justly proud. There are no such things now as Sophomores standing around the wall in assembly and Freshrneqrivbeingrleft out altogether. To compensate them for such dis- advantages before, we nowgive the Freshmen the front seats, as child-

30 KERAMOS Theological Seminary, Omaha, Nebraska. We all thought Miss Hallock was more devoted to the interests of our school than to leave us for a Mere measley man. But then you never can tell. On Saturday, April 23, the Senior class had a food sale at Lewis Brothers' furniture store and were much pleased with the results. Some of the articles were made in the domestic science room by some of the girls and our two chefs. But some very kind boys thought that the cake made by our two boy cooks might be dangerous to somebody's health, so they appropriated it to themselves before it had a chance to get cold. Very nice of them, I'm sure. I We' will eventually be leaving our muchly beloved High School days far behind us and pass on into a world which will use us much as we make it, and in leaving these happy days behind we also hope we have left many pleasant memories and accomplished many worthy things which will benefit the younger pupils and which will not let them forget 615 73 dear old . 1916. Even though we are compiling this issue in honor of the Senior class, yet we must not forget to give due honor to the other classes, especially 1916. They have made worthy Juniors to such a class of Seniors. In athletics they carried the championship in everything this year. Even last year at the county meet it was Bucher, a Junior, who won us most points. But there is a versatile bunch of people in that class. In theatricals, Kinsey could not be beaten as a country rector and as Jack Spratt, rather opposite characters, but he was equal to both occasions. QGGQQQQ 1917. The class of 1917 or the present Sophomore class has made a record for itself in many ways. First in football season they sent many men out for the team. These men were rewarded by receiving regular posi- tions on the team. Then in basketball they had one of the fastest teams in the interclass league, making the Juniors hustle to stay in first place. When the Sophomore's turn came to provide the entertainment for the Friday morning literary they staged a small sketch. They showed the classes that they had ability along musical and literary lines as well as along dramatic and athletic lines. ' 1918. The class of 1918 began their history just like any other class of one hundred and ninety merry, laughing green children. All went quietly for awhile. To us they were merely Freshmen and no more, by with vim and originality they have proven themselves worthy of more notice. Not only are they doing credit to their school intellectually but physically as well. Is it not remarkable that a Freshman basketball team should win four games, also be represented upon the High team, that they should make five points in the class meet. In all school activities they have played an important part. Their class was represented fan unusual thingy by four students upon the Washington birthday celebration.
