HISTORY OF CLASS OF NINETEEN-EIGHTEEN. Milton Uh gentle reader of history, l'ause a moment and bear with me VVhile the history of the Class of '18 ls quickly flashed upon the screen. 'Twas on a bright September morn ln the Autumn of nineteen-thirteen When we into Findlay High were born, lt, is true, a tritie green. That we are not ashamed to tell, Fon each one of us knew full well That growing green with treatment fair Becomes a thing of beauty rare. tlf anyone on the aforesaid debates Take a look at our feminine classmates.D NVe were subject to tl1e usual pranks- Tablets were gone, we got no thanks, VVe sat on tucks and mustard oil, And made good targets for tin-foilg Then the studies seemed so strange, The girls were not used to a kitchen range Many a thumb by hammer mashed, And many a hand cut and slashed, Adorned fellows who had seen tit To wield the hammer, saw and bit. The x, y, z's got our goats, And some stayed over with Miss Coates. VVe soon learned to sputter Latin VVhen our brains began to batten, After absorbing Ancient llistory, Cligyptian, Creek and Latin mysteryj lfVe had three months vacation To recover a good relation For all the things we would hear And muss up in our Sophomore year. liut lo! before me the scene changes, My vision wider ranges. lfVe come now to do our share ln making Freshman life despair. VVe sought seats at the rear of the room, Hut our happy band was scattered soon, Since a Sophomore takes great delight ln passing a note or having a hght. VVc studied Latin once more, A. Strawbridge. About Caesar and his Gaellic war. lfVe also struggled with Geometry, And in proving things became quite free. This year we conquered in battle, Twice making the Fresh heads rattle, And tearing up the dirty rag They had hung up for a flag. Then another year was done, Another year of our course run. Again we quit the red wall Only to come back in the fall. Now the third act was begun- A year full of work and fun, W'hen some should reach the goal, VVhile others fall in some deep hole. liarly in the year Mr. Finton called the class To state the time had come to pass NVhen we should organize And tlout our banner in the skies. Xvlll. Hosler captained our Ship of State, VVith Alice Brenner as his lirst mateg Mary Houck was purser of our ship, And Lester Thomas kept log of the trip. A committee was chosen, class rings picked, Everyone was satisfied, nobody kicked. Our class proved the first to appear ln rhetoricals restored last year. Our class had talent-nothing could daunt usg Our singers had lirst place in Pocahontas. The Spring passed without a iight, We got no chance to show our might, As the twenty Senior boys Were small on tight, but large on noise. Our Junior play, named Suzette. VVas a stellar production you may bet. The play was good: the cast was grand- f.'Xs good as any in the land.D The lnoney made by this was spent .ln the season's crowning event, A reception by the Junior class For the Seniors, who were to pass From our midst to a world of strife To begin their course in life,
