Unitur (Cias The time is uear at hand when the High School ill bequeath in tin world one of the hesi classes in its history. The class will he both elated and saddened by gradu- ating. for they have accomplished that for which they have labored for many years, yet they realise that their High School glories and victories are forever past. The Juniors will he glad to see us go. for they will then liecome the dignified Seniors. When we revert our minds to that memorable autumnal day of t!MM when we. forty-four verdant and unsophisticated ‘•Freebies” entered the High School, honesty conqiels iis to say we wore studious the first year, but we regret that many of us have lost this habit. The first year glided smoothly by until the monotony was disturbed by the usual rainy day picnic at Morgan’s drove. The second autumn we returned to the High School slightly diminished in numbers by quituating. marriage, etc., but with set purpose to complete the course, although the curriculum was voluminous. That year our troubles with Caesar began but we can boastingly say we conquered the brave Itoinan without even a scratch, barring a few de- merits. and that year was uneventful, except on picnic day Jupiter Pluvius dampened our cheerful dispositions with his usual downpour of rain. The third year we came into the new High School building, and a number of the boys forgot their motto of “Studious Study” that they might enjoy the delights of the is iijiatnni new gymnasium. That year we began to study hemistr . some of our members also became stars in basket ball and won the pennant. Our program during Commencement week, although a farce, was a great success. This year it did not rain on picnic day. as we had no picnic. The fourth and last year, tin present, began unheard of troubles for us when we wen lined up and reminded in tin most profound and elevating language. “That we were the I Mgnitied Seniors and much was expected of us.” The boys continued athletics while the girls kept tip the studies of the class. The chief social events of the ear were the Hallowe’en party at the home of irginia Higgs, the reception given by the Sophomores on Saint Pat- rick’s Day. and the It. L. Hotelier banquet. We fullv intended to close our school year by systematic study, but athletics, examinations and Commencement essays combined against us; however, like refined gold we came forth brighter and stronger because of our trials and hardships. Now that tin time lias come when we will no longer appear regularly at the High School, we will not forget the school where» we spent the best four years of our lives, in preparation for life's duties. With joy and pride, we will watch the growth of tin school, and hope that the H. L. Butcher class of 1!MI8 will bring only honor and fame to their alma mater. Fairmont High School. Historian, tlS.
