BRICKER It was not ordained that we, the class of 1926, should start our journey through school together. Limited space made it necessary that some of us were forced to attend the Roosevelt junior High School, but this branch consisting of Jessie Knapp, Charles Heilman, Lily Ann Thor- sell, William Griffin, Valbourg Runsvold, Harold Peterson, Walter Lagerberg, Myrtle Nelson, Isabel Barrett and Arlene Burt made itself famous, even as we at Old Central had done. It was in 1923 that we, a group of homesick, weak-kneed children, reluctantly strolled fear- ful and trembling into the massive halls of the Fargo High School. No kindly guide was there to direct our steps and in our fright the sign Principals Office was taken to mean Give up Hope All Ye That Enter Here. But now after four years, many of us have come to realize that hope is all we need when we enter tllre. From that very first day the mid-year class of 1926 made its mark. Indeed, it outranks any class in the history of Fargo High School. Perhaps, winning the prize for publishing the best Cynosure as Freshmen was a spur but we will not go back over that Ancient History. However, we made history and can point with pride to our greatest achievement, the abundant sprinkling of gray hair on Mr. Tighe's head. But for us, his hair would still be as black as a raver1's wing. ln our Sophomore year we were under such able officers as Marion Trowbridge, Presidentg Lily Ann Thorsell, Treasurerg of what we do not knowg Dorothy Volkamer, Vice-President, Cleo Kerley, Secretary, and we had Earl Haugrud running the Cynosure for the High School. Myrtle Monge from Dogden, Beatrice Shavitch from Bemidji, Elizabeth Capps from Boston, Cplease note her dignity? and Maida Harnden from East High of Minneapolis joined us and helped us uphold our brilliant reputation that year. As Sophomores we put on our thrilling Christmas party, a continuation of our costume party of the year before. The next year Marion Schroeder, from.McClusky, Carrie Quam from Dahlen and Ruby Lingby from Kenmare joined us and aided in electing Chas. Heilman, Presidentg Don Bolley, Vice-Presidentg Walter Lagerberg, Secretary and Dorothea Christianson, Treasurer. But we 25

CIT was the reading not the E 6 occurrence that was pathetic.l - J Now also comes the supreme moment of the student's life and we made it even more thrilling 1 than pushing a wheelbarrow over a painted picture of Niagara Falls ---. Our junior Prom. 4 Our Prom, a fantasy fit for the Gods, a festival fit for Apollo, brilliant and resplendant,'the great- lj est in the annals of the Fargo High School. If there be one amongst you that doubts this-you J ' have only to ask any member of our class to be assured of the truth. ' Yet in spite of all the agony we have caused our teachers and the many trying moments we have spent with them, they are dear to us and we owe them much. The thoughts of leaving give us joy, not unmingled with regrets. There are, however, still more worlds to conquer, and we the Mid-Year Class of 1926 are ready to do our share. Knowing full well that the class pro- duces ten members of the Kents, seven for the Phosterians, seven for Quill Club, five for the Inter Nos, two for the Palette and one for the Harlequin Club, it .is bound to succeed. Without the three senior boys the Boys' Glee Club would be a Hzzle. It is to their ability, to finish strong, that the true success of the club is due. What would the Girls' Glee Club amount to without the inharmonious three? The National Honor Society is dependent upon Helen Wasson, jane Eddy, Edward Dobrinz, Lily Ann Thorsell and Dorothy Volkamer to represent a good member- ship in our class. A Tr Lbute Fargo High School, Mother of our thoughts Moulder of our youth, Creator of our ideals You, who have borne with us for four sad-happy years We're parting now. You, to whom we came for truth and guidance Who aided us, detained us, lent us strength Watched us ardent in our quest for learning Helped us grow- You, who have shaped ambitions and desires Inspired us with traditions, gold ideals Encouraged our dreams. .We're leaving now-and not without, a sigh ' Regrets for opportunities you held That we passed by. And you've grown dear-oh well, Last days are always sad. ' V We're standing at the gateway looking off At our to-morrows. There the happy road Stretches on and on into the distance ' To the goal, our goal. We're poised to start. Behind us is a favoring breeze Gathering and eddying for us these last four years: With us, your gifts, the freedom of our minds . The courage of your spirit. We are leaving now. But we carry your memory always The perplexities, sorrows, revelations we have known While sheltered by your four familiar walls- Fargo High School, goodbye! , -M aida Harnden V vl 26
