The year was an uneventful one except for the elaborate fresh man party that we had. Our Sophomore year was of little consequence, or so it seems now as we look back over it. Then came our Junior year. We were upper classmen, and the school began to realize our worth. We were allowed and even urged to take leading parts in all the major activities of the school. And now—We are Seniors; dignified!, experienced?, superior!. Our Hallowe’en party was a “howling” success. The operetta, “The Belle of Barcelona”, would have suffered without our talent; indeed, there have been few projects accomplished without members from our class. This briefly Is our history, but we can say with Shakespeare, that “We are but young in deed.” OUR OFFICERS President, 1925-26 ..
