19 The Harrodian 26 which our able and much-loved professor delightfully chaperoned to the Woodland Auditorium for concerts and entertainments. Thus ended the first term and the only thing worthy of note in the second term, or creating much excitement, was the harmful yet rule breaking prank played on April 1. Ah, the glory and honor of being a Senior! How long we had anticipated and how hard we had worked for the privilege. It is ours. “Ours not to reason why ! Ours but to do or die! The end of the trail is in sight and. weary, but triumphant, we will rest for a while before going forth to take our places in the great arena with thousands of others, who. like ourselves, must strive and hope to conquer— “Else why born?” Page twenty-six

19 The harrodian 26 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Twas a notable day in September when we, the class of ’22, ventured into the higher realms of learning and, timid, yet eager, found ourselves at the beginning of a long trail, the trail whose end was commencement four years later. Our building was bad and its accommodations few, but no king sitting on his throne ever felt more important than we who occupied seats of the mighty Freshmen and listened to our own trembling voices repeat with Miss Henderson, “Stella est pulchra,” or solve for Miss Rupley the equation “a-j-b—«c.” Wise students, too, we were until the first month tests, then, “Of all sad words of tongues or pen. the saddest were these, it might have been— 70.’’ Profiting, therefore, by our failures we applied ourselves with greater diligence to our tasks and at the close of the year, having safely passed the crisis, were awarded the title of Sophomore. To be a Freshman means much, but to be a Sophomore means more. Xo longer were we mocked and chided by our upper classmen, no longer did the recitation bell send a thrill up and down our spines, but trusting to fate we worked with a will and at the end of the first semester were assured not only of our passing from A to B, but also of our passing from the old building to the new. At this our joy was complete, for in reality the magnificence and splendor of the Harrodsburg High School, so long dreamed of, surpassed our fondest expectations. Since new environment gives new vigor, our group of girls, under the leadership of Miss Armstrong, was soon declared the very best class in school. (We later learned that this was usually true of every Sophomore class.) When one aspires to Juniorship they are nearing the top of the ladder. Therefore, we seriously realized our position and put forth our efforts conscientiously with one goal in view, that of gaining knowledge. All moved smoothly, the monotony being occasionally broken by a trip to Lexington, Pajre twenty-fiv
