Upon us has fallen this year the responsibility and the privilege of sending forth “DtlS ifeacljlfin the Annual for Grafton High School. It is useless for us in this one page of history to utter any words of self-praise, since this book bespeaks what we are. and what we have done. The publication of a high school year book is indeed both a responsibility and a privilege. The Annual must be representative of the high school. It must breath forth the spirit and the very life of the institution. It is the pupils' book in which they may in words and in pictures work out their own ideas. We the pupils, send it forth, this part of ourselves, and the world sees us in it. In the Alumni, it awakens memories of happy school-days, and to them it tells the story of our progress. Thus, the responsibility is great. But we. the Junior class, have had the peculiar privilege. as also did the Junior class of last year, of directing this work and of expressing ourselves in it. We have tried faithfully to represent our school, of which we are proud, although we have no place as yet to call our own. We hope that this little book may be a tangible evidence that a live high school exists in Grafton, even in uncomfortable, cramped quarters, and that it may help to secure for future classes a comfortable well equipped high school building. Now. a few words about the Junior class, and their ups and downs (not altogether due to the frequent stairways). Our class is known as “T he Gigglers. We are very proud of this name because we have come by it honestly. We lead all of the other classes in high school when perchance we head the line. In Botany, one student has explained to us to our complete satisfaction how a peach tree can bear almonds one year, and peaches the next. In Geometry, every one in the class can bisect a straight line. Our class, in history has waxed so enthusiastic over the study of the French Revolution, that it has effected a revolution of its own in order to make further study of cause and effect. In Latin some of our class have desired greater speed than the short section assigned fer each lesson and consequently have found nothing short of a pony’s gait satisfying to their ambitions. In American Literature. we have developed orators and poets—some of the class when speaking can be heard nearly half way across the room ar.d ethers can write rhyming couplets in imitation of, Ten little kittens ready to dine One choked on a bone, and then there were nine.” Many cf the class give promise of becoming famous linguists. Some will specialize in General Philosophy, judging from the interest in German proverbs. In German the only sad feature of the year has been the time lost in waiting for two Schaffs kope to get their brain gearing oiled and working. The class in German now numbers I 5—2. May the blight of dullness not touch another precious one! In athletics the Junior boys have played their part, and the Junior girls have cheered them on to victory. Notwithstanding their good playing, sad to relate, our boys are often fouled for hugging”—in basket ball. Now our history is told; we have witheld no secrets. And still we are the class of 1911.—Historian.
