H ZlwRetro Class Sonq pf? i.. fTune: Dreamer of Dreams J School days are o'er, we're leaving! Happiest days we knew. Going away, A Going to stay, Into a world so new! Taking our many mem'ries, Leaving our friends, so dear. Never forget, Never regret, Things that have happened here. How we would love to linger, But we must now depart. ' Go from these walls, Go from these halls, Those dearest to our hearts. J Chorus: Let me dream again of days in Hartford High, They seem so near, ever dear, yet they've passed. Let me see again the days when you and I Were pals so true, want them to last. And all those days of bliss I sadly give for this, Just a world of care and trials Will meet us when We go from Old Hartford High. MARTHA KEGERREIS '25 DOROTHA ANDERSON '25

1 Retro Class Histor T'S just like old times to be together again, isn't it, Maurine? I am so glad to be back home after all these years, and you and Paul have such a cozy little home here. It seems so quiet and peaceful tome after my home in Borneo, with the trudging hours in the Banana Canning Factory and the care of my twelve children after working hours. Really, I can notice a difference. Well, Ruth, I 'would be glad to have a change. I'haven't been out of town since we went to Muncie to the basket'-ball game, when we were in high school. Q Well, you are to be pitied. But say, where are all those children going? , I Why, I don't know g is there a circus iiiltown today? Why, no, school begins today! I Oh, school! It has been fifteen years sinlce we were in school, and weren't those happy, carefree days? I Yes, it was September 12, 1921, when'those one hundred and five self-important Freshmen assembled to' begin their educational careers. It wasn't until Monday, October , that we were allowed to have our first class meeting and organize thle class of '25. We elected Phil Holton, presidentg Reuben Willman, vicel-fpresidentg Maurine Hob- son, 'secretaryg Canis Brockway, treasurer. 'We chose red and black for our class colors. Our first social event as the Hallowe'en party held in the gym, then in the spring came ouq first hayride. Miss Bor- den and Mr. Swank, as class advisors, guided our weighty affairs through the year. I ' It wasn't long until we had started on 'our Sophomore year and how important we were, now in the Senior 1+ssembly, members of the Senior High School. School began September 11 this year, and by this time we had but eighty-five members. 'It was on September 29 that we met to re-organize our class. Phil Holton was re-elected president 5 Canis Brockway, vice-president, Riuth Cronin, secretary and treasurer. Miss Kruke and Mr. Myers were chosen as advisors. There was only one thing to darken the beginning of our school year: the absence of one of our most popular membersi, Celia Smilack, who was killed July 13, 1922. ' Paul Herbst from Bluffton, and Leslie! Arnold from Louisville, Kentucky, were added to our class this yeari We held several social functions and remember our Sophomore year as a year of good times. . Then came our Junior year. And now, we were among the upper classmen of H. C..H. S. School began september 10, and our enroll- s ' A QI. .. . ., M -luhnws Z ' M ' I. I.. ., J
