Class l istorp of 1913 By Maroi erite Voioht. N A FEW days our school life will have passed into memory. The goal we have been seeking together will have been reached, the farewells spoken and we shall be scattered afar. However, before our leave-taking, permit us to relate a few of the experiences, that are uppermost in our thoughts. Of our Freshman year we have nothing, of much interest to say, for most of us were timid and fearful of the new ground on which we had to tread, but even so, we braved the photographer and had our pictures taken for the Senior Annual. As Sophomores we were exceptionally brilliant. Within two weeks after school had begun, we had learned to enter classes a minute tardy as leisurely as a Senior, and also in response to the teacher’s query, to say, “1 don’t know,” in a manner that would make even the Juniors envious. By the time we became Juniors our mental abilities were beginning to be recognized very deservedly, for it is rumored some of us were Juniors twice. The latter, however, is tradition and not history. This year, though, is marked by its many social functions, the most enjoyable of which was the reception given by the Junior Class, May 2d. 1!)12. To the stirring music of the orchestra, the merry company pledged anew their friendship and their loyalty to G. C. H. S. This event marked the closing of our Junior year, and a few nights later, we recognized ourselves as Seniors. We had now reached the happy stage, which had been the dream of our childhood, the ambition of our youth, and the goal of our High School life. As a class, we have accomplished many great and noble deeds, which we may well attribute to our large number and to our great strength of intellect. Like other classes, we have passed through the chambers of the dead languages, and it has been our chief delight to recite “Gallia est omnes divisa in partes tres. etc. We have also become proficient in the study of English. Some of us. while we have not reached the mark of Demosthenes and Cicero, can be accredited with possessing, at least, an inclination toward oratory. Also, the Shakespearean dramas have been studied and commented upon, with the ease and freedom of the world’s greatest literary critics. The entire class have bathed in the ILO of Science to their head’s content, and the vast field of Mathematics has been well surveyed, and we have each received our portion. It would be useless, indeed, to attempt a complete account of what the class has done, but, most important of all, it has survived. As a class, our work is finished, and now we stand prepared for another long campaign, in which we can no longer advise and cheer each other, but each must rely on his own efforts to achieve success. No longer shall we see those happy smiling faces, and no longer will their familiar voices be heard as we tread our daily path. But such must be. So we part from each other with a hearty grip and a cheery farewell. Edith Harrison—I am the very circumstance and impulse—blown away with the wind. 23
