The Histor of the Class of 1910 Four short years, as a silent spectator, I have observed the movements of the illustrious class of nineteen hundred and ten. In it I have seen spirit, good work, loyalty and unity. I am proud to say I know the class and it has been of so much interest to me in the past few years, that, after a short deliberatiion, I have decided to write its History. The first thing that attracted my attention when the class of 1910 entered the chapel of the 'Greensburg High school on September 2, 1906 was the large number of pupils, their bright, hap- py faces, and good, honest actions. They were a cheerful little band, numbering seventy-tive in all, acting as though they desired to show the up- per classmen that they were neither 'fgreenu nor fresh, but true, loyal members of the G. H. S This noble class entered into the school spirit at once. Only a short time had passed, when it was decided that a class meeting should be held. For some unknown reason strife rose at this meeting. The fair -sex rejected 'every proposi- tion offered 'by the other members of the class and such a riot broke out that M r. l3ortz's stern frown was actually needed to calm the f'Deihl that made the noise. Finally, however, the class succeeded in electing Ephraim Kelley, president Katharine Blank, vice president, and james Gregg, secretary. Blue and white were chosen as class colors, and, after settling some minor questions, the meeting adjourned-in perfect peace and harmony. This was the first excitement of the school year, 'but it was not to be the only one, for, shiortlyg afterward the English teacher, Miss VVlson asked one morning in chapel if Miss Romayne Wal- dron :Were present. Naturally this created much. laughter and I don't believe Miss Wilson dared deny the saying, that, when ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise. . Later, after' a few successful experiments, the giris of the class made up their minds that fudge was absolutely necessary to stimulate the mind for good work. However, they were not quite sure whether Mr. Fisher would approve of fudge but, being very human, he himself fell a victim to those delicious dainties, and also agreed that they were absolute neces-sites. Fudge, fudge, lunge, isvtiy day and every day. No one seemed ta t.re of it. Yet the end of pleasure always comes, and so, after six boxes were devoured, one noon period, the wise t?j teacher closely knit his brows and announced in a solemn voice, tililt fudge-bringing must cease. High school socials ever have been an attrac- tion tor rreshinen, and, as the Hnancial pronlem of the Atnietic association made it necessary for tgein to hold one in the near future, the class of 1910 got busy right away. A class song taxis written by the talented poet, Henry Eccles, and a committee was chosen to make all prepara- tions for a country store. It is needless to tell the outcome of those preparations. There never was, nor never will be a country store just like that one, and Jimmy Gregg's HLeetle German Band rendered such difficult, classical selections that all were highly amazed at the extraordinary talent displayed. Thus far I have dealt chieHy with the pleas- ures of the class of 1910, during the beginning of its sojourn in High school, but before I pass to the Sophomore year I wish to mention one thing which reliects great honor upon its loyal mem- bers. One morning, 'when the entire school had assembled for chapel exercises, the noble prin- cipal, iMr. Baker, rose to give one of his Hfre- quent Hve-minute lectures. This one happened to deal mostly with scholarship in High school. It immediately attracted the attention of the Freshmen, and how proud they felt when, to their surprise, the speaker said he depended upon the class of 1910 to raise the scholarship of the Greensburg High school. From that time forth the students resolved to do so, and I am proud to say that the graduating class of 1910 actually has raised that standard. Vtlhether the Freshman year was too strenuous, or whether the summer vacation was harmful, I must confess I never could find out, ibut one thing I do know, and that is that something had its effects upon the 'foptical density of tmo of the members of the class, for, one dly shortly after the Sophomore year had opined. lack
