Seniar Class History On September 5, 1912, fifty adventuresome students set foot for the first time, in the Assembly hall of the Garrett High School. During the first few weeks that passed, by the many little acts and blunders they became well worthy of their humble name, “Freshmen.” The sophomore boys did their utmost to extend a hearty welcome to our class. As a result, much mirth and commotion was caused when the “initiated Freshmen boys” appeared with part of their locks missing. They were not completely subordinated, however, and because of their courage, steadfastness, and good endeavors, they won the good will of the Faculty and tellow classmattes. When school opened Septemiber 8, 1913, loud and confident steps made known the arrival of the “know-it-all” Sophomores. One by one those who were not “stickers” had departed from us. There were but thirty-two en- rolled in our class. The Faculty consisted of Mr, Merica, Superintendent, Mr. Antonides, Principal, Miss VanAuken, Miss Thomas, Mr. King and Miss Berry. The main feature of the year was getting acquainted with Caesar. We entered the Junior year, fully convinced that High School life is the “best to be had.” Our number had d windled to twenty-two. We organized the class, electing Charles Shannon President and Alfred McCracken treasurer. Our teachers were all new to us with the exception of Mr. Merica and Miss Thomas. Mr. Renkenberger had become our Principal, Mr. VanFleit our Geometry and Science instructor, Miss Enloe the Latin ‘teacher and Miss Dobbrick was placed in charge of the Domestic Science department. It was in the Junior year that we arrived at the safe and sane conclusion that “It doesn’t pay to try to put it over on the teachers.” The Junior class was marked by their wonderful power of adopting the ways and manners of society. In 1915, for the last time, nineteen of us assembled. As requested by the members of the Faculty, we set numerous examples to the undergraduates in regard to deportment. Mr. Renkenberger was now our Superintendent, with Mr. Carroll as Principal, Mr. VanFleit Science instructor, Miss Britan English teacher, Miss Clark Latin teacher, Miss Dobbrick, instructor in Domestic Science and Sanitation and Hygiene and Mr. Schoenike in charge of German and Manual Training. Our organization as a Senior class was effected with Charles Shannon as President, Jeune Milholand as Secretary and Alfred McCracken as Treasurer. Shortly before Christmas preparations were begun for the publication of our Annual, the second ever attempted in this High School. We the members of the class of 1916, realize that the laying of the foundation of our life work is as yet incomplete. Yet as we go forth, free from the protective seclusion of our high school home, each one of us, with cur own ideas and ideals, we feel that we have been well paid for tne time and energy which we have spent to attain that amount of knowledge which we now possess. Regardless of how high we may climb, or how near we may attain our ideals, we shall always look back to the dear old H. S. days, and sincerely regret that necessity demands tthe breaking of fond associations. And so with sorrow, and yet with joy—we say “Farewell.” RUTH GALLATIN
