Our Glass — Its History Doubtless, my friends, you have heard the famihar quotation, ' ' Happy is the country that has no history. Our class is a very happy one, and so it follows that we have no history. I have never before been called upon to write a history, and I am pitiably unqualified to do so, but, if my elders and betters deem it wise that I should — (ahem) attempt to follow in the famous footsteps of Macaulay, Carlyle, and H. G. Wells — far be it from me to refuse. To my mind, there has never been a class with less history than ours. I wish to say in the beginning, that unlike all our predecessors, when we entered High School in 1921, we were NOT the greenest class that ever entered dear old G. H. S. I have known many greener. We did not progress rapidly under Aliss Shaw and Mr. Shepard, our teachers, due to hard study and diligent perseverance ; we progressed rapidly because we had several snap courses, and because, by the end of the first month we had learned successfully to bluff our various ways through Science, Latin, and English. 1 ' hrough much practice, we were the school ' s champion class-cutters and chapel skippers by Christmas, and by that time, we had also progressed so rapidly in the art of bluffing that many of us could boast of reports shov ing I ' s and l+ ' s on all courses. For this, gentle reader, I think we deserve great credit. No outstanding events occurred in our Freshman year to mar the clean pages of our class history. Then, as now, we had no history. Under the guidance of Mr. Shepard and Miss Doub we continued our careers as Sophomores. By this time our fame had spread over all the school. One day our teacher was absent, and a substitute was sent for. Alas ! our fame had spread too far. The lady refused to teach us ! She said she had heard of the outrageous escapades of those unruly Sophomores (or words to that effect), and positively would not teach us. Well, such are the vicissitudes of fate ! And now I pass to our Junior Year, the most eventful of years. Miss Walker and Miss Beasley, our room teachers, shaped our destinies this year, and what a successful year it was! Due to the impassioned pleadings of our star debaters, we won the school ' s championship in debates. Our Junior IMay Daddy Long Legs, was a wonderful success, and even the Seniors admitted that our Junior-Senior banquet was all that could have been desired. At the play however, we were forced to displease one of our classmates greatly, in this way- Page Fourteen
