THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY HE present Senior Class began its illustrious career in 1918. With much l'lllSg'lVllllI, we became Freshmen of the greenest variety, keep- ing true to tradition. Being innocently ignorant, we knew no better than to whisper without permission, for which grave offense we were duly punished oy being made to sit on the platform for whole periods at a time. Fortu- nately, we were not alone in our affliction, for this punishment was xnctcd out to ah, benior, and Freshie alike, The next year brought thirty instead of forty-three to the Sophomore round of the ladderp older in years and experience, yet spirited. Wewere more careful of our bearing and tried hard to overcome our giggling, whispering tendencies. Our boys showed a keen intel est in Basket-ball and practised industriously. Our girls were especially honored by being asked a second time to serve at the Junior-Senior banquet. They were likewise prepared to shine socially, the following year. Juniors we were at last! No more teasing by upper classmen, no more superior glances from those above us-we were now upper elasslnen. We opened the social year by giving a banquet for the Football boys which was considered a marvelous success. Next came the Carnival, for the benefit of the Athletic Asso- ciation, to which we glaoly lent our assisstanee and staged the success of the eve- ning, Gertrude the Governcssf' Social activities culminated in the Junior Senior Banquet in May, where the High School was represented as the Universe. ln a garden under the blue sky, lighted by the mellow glow of moon and stars, we honored the departing Seniors. Clarence Mittun, as President of the class and Toastmaster of the occasion, very cleverly introduced the speakers who likened our High School to the Universe, the Faculty representing the Sun, about which the life of the school revolvesg the Sen- iors, me staisg the Juniors, the Satellites striving to shine as brightly as the greater planets, High School pleasures were compared with thc enchanting Moonlight. Our present year began as all Senior years do-with a rush of work and then a sudden lull-the lulls, however, were always too short and periods of work, lengthy. Becoming Seniors meant more than taking thc seats on the East side of the assembly, it IllQllTli, added duties, added dignities, .new responsibilities. This year the majority of our clnssmen belonged to the victorious Yanks who triumplledin the sale of Lyceum tickets. Our success was undoubtedly due to our experieneehas salesmen last year and our eilorts were littingly rewarded when we were presented with a Loring Cup. The most strenuous'undertaking we have attempted. is the publishing of the Focus. We have encountered many dilliculties in our venture, but they have van- ished by persistent effort on our part, and we know that in future years we shall remember with a sense of pride that we helped to make the i'Focus. We have endeavored to support our high school in all its activities, our boys have figured ercditably on the Basket-ball team, our girls in the Glee Club. In the east of the mus' -al comedy, Miss Cherryb1ossom many off our Seniors played im- portant roles ak helped make it a success. . We have spent many happy hours in these halls and it is with a feeling of regret and sadness that we depart and seek our place in the great world outside. Page F Ol-ll'!Pln
