Class History In September, 1919, there sprang up the keenest kind of rivalry between two energetic groups of youthful opponents—the first grade students of the West Side School and the boys and girls in the same grade of the East Side School. Between the boys of these classes, especially, this hostility increased as the years went by. In the spring they fiercely contested against each other in baseball; in the fall, in football; between times they engaged in honest fist-fights and battles of all kinds. Then peace was declared when these friendly-enemies became co-workers and classmates in Grammar School. These two groups, united in the seventh and eighth grades, entered high-school together four years ago. Since then we have lost many of our former class-mates and gained some new ones. A feeling of loyalty has supplanted the old group antagonism, but the fighting spirit we still have. Now, however, we struggle together to overcome obstacles and achieve success. Page Fourteen
