THE LAUREOLA. 29 amounted to a row of beans. First we starred in Foot Ball then in Basket Ball. If it had not been for the Seniors, I think it can be truthfully said, the Basket Ball Team would not have been such a great team because the Varsity was made up of Seniors except for one Junior. During the early part of the year the Seniro Class gave the IMay “The Private Secretary, for the benefit of the Athletic Association. This play was a humdinger We performed like professionals and received congratulations from every side. In the literary society meetings the greater nart of the work was dol e by Seniors. The Senior Year is the busiest year in High School. What t'o we have to do? What we don’t have to do would be eas:er to answer. Between work cn oration, thesis, book reports, lessons and what not’s and everything we ha e to stay up all night and part of the next morning and ch, boy! don’t forget those Chemistry experiments exactly 100, good by the rest of next morning. Juniors, we are leaving you, but here’s to you. May you e ;er perpetuate our glory. Here’s to your happiness, Thank God, there are 24 hours in a day if there was only 23 we would never belong to the Alumni. May you ever nerpeuate the French Translating Company of Royd and Smith, Inc. Cod bless you now and always, mey you always have 25 hours in your days. —PAUL B. BOYI).

28 THE LAUREOLA. SENIOR HISTORY (Concentrated, revised, altered and censored) On the beautiful morning of September 2, 1918 we entered the doors of German Township High School. The grass around the High, especially on the Athletic Field was a beautiful green and so were we. At least the upper classmen must have thought so because they gave us the highly honored name of Greenies which we of course loved (?) very much and were exceedingly sorry to part with at the end of our Freshman Year. After entering High School we found that a big problem confronted us, in fact a few found it so large from time to time that they have given us a fond farewell and disappeared. We were 55 strong when we entered under the roofs of German Township High School, now our number has dwindled to 33. We are sorry that 22 has found the problem too large for them to scope with and departed. One of our achievements during our Freshman year was the winning of the highest honors in the “Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign.” The classes had a race to see which could sell the highest number of Liberty Loan Bonds, the people liked green so we naturally won. About this time the Spanish Influenza broke out and school had to be postpored, until February 14. We were sorry that some people had to have the Influenza, but we were not sorry that school had to be postponed. After school took up again, the Sophomores gave us a reception. Not many Freshmen attended, probably because we knew we would be the center of interest. At last came the much dreaded final examination which we passed by the skin of our teeth (if we have any skin on our teeth) and were admitted to the royal order of Sophomores. After a very much needed vacation we again entered German Township High School in September 1919 as Sophomores. Nothing very wonderful happened to us during our Sophomore year. We found that we had some good athletics in our class. Two of our class members were good enough to be placed on the Varsity Basket Ball Team. During this year we gave the Freshmen a reception, the reception passed off peacefully, only a few Freshmen being killed and a few Sophomore injured. After a vacation much more needed than our first ore having endured for a year the tortures of agriculture, we entered, German T'ownsnip High School in September 1920 as Juniors. During this year the talent in our class was brought out. We furnished material for the Varsity Basket Ball Team. Our class had the Champion Basket Bal1 Team of the High School. During this year we published the “Laureola” which though put out a little late was a g reat success and I think the class ought to be congratulated for putting out such a good annual. To finance the Laureola we staged the Junior Class Play “Much Ado About Betty” which was a great success. For amateurs who had never given a play before, it was put across in great style. After a vacation which is our only excuse for not being in the mad house today, we entered High School again as dignified Seniors. This was our high tide year. We were it and nobody else (as the saying goes)
