I N writing this history the author discovered that it was a much more difficult task than he had anticipated. To be a historian in the tine sense, one should give an uni:)rejudiced record of impor- tant events, showing the relation between them and their causes and effects. There was no trouble in finding the events, but it became doubly difficult for the author, a contemporary, when writing a his- tory of so illustrious a body as the Class of 1910, to refrain from plac- ing undue emphasis and praise on the many glorious deeds done by this class. However, if in the course of this history the reader imag- ines that the author has perhaps been a little partial at times, thereby prejudicing the work, he may ascribe it to the just pride which no member of this class could help feeling when reviewing its course of four years in this high school. The year 1906, following a period of preparation in the grammar school, marked the beginning of our remarkable career. It was a mem- orable day when we first came into the school, giving it new life and fresh spirit. We enlivened the recitations and endeavored to vary the monotony of life for the teachers, but strange to say, some of them didn’t appreciate it. This was a year of preparation. We laid the foun- dations for our future and incidentally amazed our teachers with our great abilities and our unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Our chief occupation was studying, as the well-worn textbooks soon showed, and from our record this year a brilliant future was predicted. The next year we began to take a more active part in school af- fairs. We pursued our studies as diligently as in former days, but we also began to win fame in athletics. As the result of many hard fought battles we won both the football and baseball championships 9

in the Tnter-class games. 1 ' liis year, also, we liad two rc]M cscntatives on the Red and Gray board. In onr junior year we really began to do things. W ' e maintained onr reputation in athletics by again winning the baseball chami)ion- ship and we also ca])tnred the track chami)ionshi]). Our class organized and elected its officers in an exciting session which lasted about half an afternoon, and showed great ])olitical skill on the ])art of some of the members. Our class motto, “Facta, non Gu ba,” was aptly chosen and has been most nobly lived up to, as may be readily seen in reading this history. ffihis year we captured both ])rizes in the prize s])eaking and essay contest, to the great dismay of the seniors. We gave, at this time, our first class party, and the fact that it was a great success is only what might be expected of such a class. As a climax to our social activities we gave a reception to the Seniors. In the play which was ])art of the entertainment several of our members showed great abilities before the footlights. The public, and also the Seniors, were reminded on the Eagles’ field day that we were still doing things by the appearance of a large 1910 banner hung across lain street. It attracted much attention and was referred to in both newspapers as “the most beautiful and striking banner ever unfurled in the history of the high school.” The banner in spite of desperate attempts to capture it, remained in our posses- sion and became the crowning feature of the decorations in our first Senior class party. In our Senior year we came back full of enthusiasm and with the determination to make this a fitting conclusion to our eventful his- tory. This year the Faculty showed their appreciation of us by giving us a magnificent reception. Our class athletics sufifered because nearly all our men were on the school teams, but nevertheless we again won the track champion- ship. There were no Inter-class baseball games this year, so the other classes were spared the necessity of allowing us the baseball cham- pionship for the third time. W e again won both prizes and also honorable mention in the prize speaking contest, thus fully establishing our supremacy in the literary and speaking lines.
