Page 26 THE REFLECTOR 1921 Sophomore year. About the last month of school the class bought a hundred dollar Libert} bond, the class of ’21 being the first and only class in the High School to take this step,. After a much needed vacation we returned as Juniors to Farrell High School. The class of ’21 featured in nothing else except hard work this year. Very few social functions were held this term due to the fact that our class was preparing for the annual Junior-Senior banquet which was an elaborate success. Then, too, our Junior play, to say the least was a decided success. Our 1 mior year ended by bidding the Seniors good-bye and taking upon ourselves the responsibility of Seniorship in the High School. At last we entered the High School as Seniors, 0 what a relief! After three years of hard study we were about to gain the height of our High School education, but this meant more hard work ami study for our class. In our Senior year, we have had many new teachers but we soon became acquainted and we got along with our teachers just as usual. Our Senioi year has been one of concentration, hard work and many business meetings. The class of ’21 has some very good oratorical and dramatic talent and the members of the class have shown their talent in numerous “plays” and debates throughout their High School career. More ardent supporters of High School athletics cannot be found than the members of the class of ’21. The class of '21 has the distinct honor of being the only classi in High School during the three periods the basket ball team has won the County Championship and it also carries with it the honor of graduating in the year the Farrell High School basket ball team has won the permanent possession of the cup for the Mercer Co. Basket-ball Championship. The members of the class of ’21 have carried with them from the Freshman year their patriotic sentiment. The girla! in the class of ’21 have also shown their desire to ecomomize by limiting the price of their graduation dress to $25.00. The class of 21 has been a hard working class and a class that has kepi i p with , the times; although many of our classmates have left us year by year as we rose thru the educational ranks of the High School. Our graduating class numbers thirty-four (34) yet the losing of oui classmates did at times make us lonely. But now the class of '21 has just about finished its lour years of joyous High School life and it goes iorth into the wide world to bring honors to itself and the High School. We owe our success and our future success to our ever encouraging faculty. Farewell Farrell High, Farewell Teachers and our dear Alma Mater. “The bird of time has but little way lo flutter and the bird is on the wing.”------Fitzgerald. Sam C. '21

The class was “New’ and therefore it Knew” little about the ir.cks of the upperclassmen. As a result of our ignorance the upperclassmen started their first annual initiation cermony by having the boys of our class endure the punishment of having their heads shaved and in the course of a week the faculty had a class of shiny heads presented before them every day for some time. But, as the old saying goes “Revenge is Sweet” so in our Sophomore year the class gave the second annual initiation cermony by receiving the Freshmen of that year into High School in the same manner we were received the previous year. The class of ’21 went little into society this year, but one bright day in May, with Miss Stewart as chaperon, the class took a “May Walk.” It was the beginning of our social career. Our Sophomore year was one of hard study, patriotism and the giving of a class “Bawl” (Ball). The class “Bawl” was the first entertainment of its kind to be given by any class in the High School. A class meeting was held on the 23rd day of September and we chose, red, white and blue as the colors for the Sophomore class, but this patriotic step was small in comparison to what the class did in the latter part of the
