, Senior Class History Going, twice a day, to the schoolhouse was more or less a pleasant pastime fer the first four years of our education. Of course we began to study Geography in the Fourth Grade but that wasn't .half as bad as seat work, which became our horror the next year. In the Seventh Grade we had different teachers for different subjects. This was quite novel, at first, but when we had Mrs. Norris in the Eighth Grade it was nit quite so much fun, although we did rather enjoy seeing her shake a person. In our Freshman year, which was full of new things, including fears, wcrrics, and good times, there were forty-four of us. One of our fears Cwhich most of us soon c 11- queredj was Harvey. Our main worry was trying to get the gist of things for Miss Shigley. The High School Hallowe'en party was the first of our new good times. The one thing that we learned was to refrain from eating peanuts in Mr. St. Clair's presence. Have we forgotten it? 'Ask him. The best thing that happened to us in the year of 1922 was to be called Sophomores instead of Freshmen. By the time that we became .thoroughly used to being called by this new name we thought that we were really accomplishing something for our schcol. Burr Owens brought honor to our class when he was presented with a white sweater at the close of the football season. The main feature of our Junior year was the purchasing of our ciass pins and rings. Some of the class still have them! Did we win prizes? Well 1 rather imagine so-we won all the prizes offered! G. H. S. won the County Basketball Tournament and of course the center helped a great deal. We helped the school in the County History Essay Contest for two of our members carried away prizes-the first and third. The Junior-Senior Banquet, the outstanding social event of the year, was a success too. Now after four years in High School we are Seniors-said by some to be dignified. During this time our class has diminished in membership, some new pupils being added, however, until just thirty-six are to make up the first graduating class from our new School Building. The latter has been a great joy to us in cur last year. This has been to most of us the hardest as well as the best year for there have been quite as many new things as there were when we were Freshmen. There have been gym classes, basket- ball games, which we were able to attend in our own building, plays put on by our Dra- matic Club, laboratories to work in, assemblies to enjoy once a week, and a large study hall in which to study. -Iris Holmes, '25. 20
