o -THE EPOCH,1927----o H Senior Class History If you had looked hard enough four years ago, you would have noticed about thirty girls and boys fhardly more than babiesj enteringa great unknown-High School. It was a lark, we have to admit that, but Oh! how frightened we were at first, yet proud to be classed as high school pupils. As the weeks wore on into months, we grew more sure of our- selves, and gradually came to consider ourselves very important pupils in high school. Why shouldn't we! We were lauded before the assembly for our conduct, our industry, and our good grades. Even the Seniors were asked to compare their standing with ours. How hard we worked that first year! The fact is, we thought we had to, to get through high school. However, when we reached our Sophomore year, we fell into the ways of the high school kids and didn't work quite so hard. Not that we were lazy. Oh, my, no! But we tried to act sophisticated and important like the Seniors, and to us it seemed as though the Seniors never studied. We felt very superior to the Freshmen and smiled wisely when they got into wrong seats or forgot to go to classes. We came into our Junior year very happy and contented, ready to continue as before, but we found much work cut out for us. We needed money and needed it badly. The Seniors had to be entertained at the end of the year with a reception, and for receptions you need money. We sold candy, pop, and popcorn at the home games, had several markets, and a class party. With all of our efforts we had enough money to give a good reception, and we did. In fact it was the best Junior-Senior Reception ever held in Gas City High School. We admitted it. Al, our popular president, acted as toastmaster. Responses of various degrees of intelligence were made and wit flowed freely. - VVe have put on two class plays this year and through hard work we made each one equal the play given last year by the same people when they were Juniors. This was in addition to the fun we had rehearsing for them as well as putting them on. Do you remember, on the night of the play. when Fred's whiskers floated in the breeze, to the great delight of the audience, or when Howard, in his eagerness to do well, outdid himself by answering his own speech? Although our class has dwindled in number, we are just as strong as ever in spirit and pep. We have striven to keep up our good name by putting out the best Epoch ever read by the people of Gas City. In artistry. thanks to Ruby and her assistants, we have produced a thing of beauty. We Seniors have learned that to win, we must work, and as we worked to Win in high school, so we must work to win all through life.
