Y , L Y 'N' SENIOR CLASS HISTGRY Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us, Footprints on'the sands of time. Realizing the truth that when we depart from this life we leave our footprints upon the sands of time, we feel that it would be a great injustice to the youths of the future generations and especially the on- coming students of the Gallon High School, if we did not record the deeds of the great scholars who compose the class of Nineteen hun- dred and twenty. 4 One beautiful day in early September, 1916, eighty-four trembling boys and girls were ushered into the old high school chapel. Altho rather confused at Hrst we soon grew accustomed to our new surround- ings and after a few weeks of hard study we held our first class meeting. Class officers were elected and class colors chosen. The greatest event of the Freshman year, however, was the rendition of th oratorio The Seasons to which we eagerly contributed. Our athletic ability was also note worthy during this year. , The Freshman year had proven so valuable 'to many that they de- cided to come again the next season. The result was that sixty-nine of our friends answered present to the roll call of the Sophomore Class. Then began the steady routine of school work, class meetings and athletics. A call came to the High School to aid the Red Cross in se- curing relief for the suffering. To this cause the Sophomore Class con- tributed one hundred percent strong. - The great war caused many of our number to lose interest in the school life and seek employment elsewhere. When the school bell called for us .to return the Junior year, twenty-one of our friends were absent. Decreased to such an extent we resolved more than ever that what Twenty we lacked in size we must make up in pep, Altho the lflul hindered us to some extent in this aim we worked twice as hard to accomplish our purpose. The event which we all looked forward to with interest was the Junior-Senior banquet held at the Methodist Church. Needless to say it was enjoyed by all present. - The following are listed on the honor roll of 1920: John Harrington, William Nichols, Raymond Heffeliinger. To these the Senior Class owe a deep debt of gratitude. Now we have arrived at the most important of all four years-the Senior year. It has been a year of gladness to us all. We have enjoyed the use of the new building with all its improvments. The Gym work has proven a pleasure as well as a benefit to all taking part and the Do- mestic Art Department furnished our girls a new interest. In Athletics both our boys and girls took leading parts while along the musical lines we were fortunate enough to secure Mr. Roy Young the famous violinist who gave a splendid program. , And now, dear classmates, that our school days have closed, we hope that each may choose an occupation that will be honorable to us and that we may always prosper and look back to our kind teachers for the base of our education. We hope that where we have made mistakes others will prosper and where we have done well others may do better. An untried path lies before each of us. ORPHA SELLS. Mr. Deetz, calling Spy Board room. Tillie, will you call Rev. Alex- ander and ask him what the title for the commencement sermon will be? T ' ' Tillie- Certainly, Then after an interval of time had elapsed she returned and said, He said it will be 'The Last Bottle.'
