I 2-2 I Histor of 1904 I x I 3. Ba 3. O one realizes so well as the Class Historian the truth of the old saws, History repeats itself, and There is nothing new under the sun. After all, is not every class history the same story retold to the taste of different writers with, probably the change ofa few dates and a better or worse athletic record? So it seems-at least to those who have had no part in making of that history. Each Freshman Class is just as green as its predecessor, every frightened Freshman hides his awe and pride under the same mask of innocent blandness. Who, that has passed that tender age, cannot remember how carefully he carried his books to and from school with the name written in big, black, inky letters, exposed so that those who run may read, wondering, perhaps, if they did not pity and marvel that a mind so young could comprehend such weighty subjects as Latin and Algebra. This trying age safely passed, he shifts into Sophomoric dignity and becomes full of the impression that upon him rests the responsibility of making of marring the school, and yet he secretly-oh! very secretly-cherishes a little envy for the upper classmen. Quickly the junior year comes on and he buckles down to hard work and here and there a little hard-earned pleasure. The chief passion of the junior is, as it should be, jealousy for the honor of his class. Last of all, Seniority, symbolic of studied dignity and disregard, and after the longed-for turmoil of graduation he passes into what he delights to term, 'tThe wide, wide world, and a little regretfully resigns his place to another who is following the same apparently uneventful course. Such is the impression made by the written record of the history of a classg but it is, in fact, the least part of a Students' career through the High School. Back of this outward effect lies the untold struggles and disappointments, the joys and griefs of the individual that make the history, in many an instance a comedy or a tragedy or, perhaps, a romance. Nevertheless, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Four has a history of which she is proud. 45
