Suninr iijistnrii September the eleventh nineteen hundred and live, dawned wet. rainy and cheerless, lint wlmt giggling was an indication of a Freshman was early impressed upon our youthful minds when we began our struggles with Latin and Miss Keliols. Our class consisted of forty-eight brilliant and irre- pressible pieces of humanity and we quite agreed with Mr. Humphrey when he told us that we were ing ami probably all the preceding classes tin same tiling, but we leave it to others to judge for them- selves. “By their works ye shall know them. After many trials and much tribulation intermingled with a considerable amount of happiness and innumerable boxes of fudge our lirst year mine to a close. (quotation from Mr. Hosier) and were Sophomores. .Miss McKinney said we were unsophisticated ami we agreed with her as we did on all such occasions. Our class at this time had lost a few members and now minds red thirty-eight earnest and ambitious students. Alas! Mr. Humphrey decreed. “No more fudge.” and we were deprived of the one comfort among our many trials. ICarly in the year we organ- retary; George Hcltolt. treasurer.

M. sequence of which it is still living and we hope that in future years we may see it casting its shade over tin grounds of the best High School in the State. Again another year has rolled by and we are Juniors. We hope we have learned to “hinge on words. We are a many-sided class. We have done more work in Geometry. History and laitin than any other class.

I have said nothing concerning the deportment of the Juniors and perhaps the less said the better, but I will merely mention that we have no cherubs in the class and the demerit system will not grow rusty while we remain in the school. Our latest work is the editing of the most wonderful piece of literature, the Maple Leave , and borrowing the words of a distinguished humorist, we say: ‘Go. little booklet, go Bearing an honored name. Till every where that you have went They’re glad that you have came.” — Historian. ’01).
