ftitf CQESSKST s SENIGR CLASS HISTORY In the early part of September, 1916, a group of graduates from the grade schools of distinguished honor and dignity clamored with glee at the walls of Columbia High School. This class established a record which headed the long list of honors gained by it-namely, thegreenest bunch of runts ever seen in the halls of C. H. S. A record, yes, but to last for only one year, being defeated continuously and annually thereafter. Thru Latin and Algebra we plodded, and to Detention we Hocked,--thus ended the many important episodes of the first year of that famous class of 1920. ' - In September l9l7 we assembled again, but not Freshmen-real Sophomores. Q Here is where this definition originated: Sophomore, a one year old Freshmanj We began that eventful study, Caesar, which generally comes but once in a life- time, but to many of us its pleasure was promised for the next year. XVe improved rapidly, at least we thought so, for to the Freshmen of l9l6, we seemed as Seniors Q in our estimation but nobody's elsej. june .came at last, thank goodness- Qnot alone for our pleasure, but for the teacher's alsoj and we had to bid farewell tothe faculty, the office, and detention, much to our heartis discontent, for the faculty had almost persuaded us that we didn7t know everything yet, and there was a little something for us to learn. VVe adopted the motto, lt will all come out in the wash. Again in the eventful month of September H9185 we, the flighty juniors assembled much to our pleasure. QThis is just put here for effectj Miss Stean and Mr. Brightman were present-back to resume their duties again. Confident with our mastery of Caesar we decided upon our motto for the year, T will try anything oncef, and some took English History and some Virgil. This year we felt quite at home being well informed on the location of the office and Detention, and since we were juniors, we helped the Freshmen along, introducing them to the leading characters of the school Q Doc,' Elwood, prize of the juniors and George Clark, prize of the Seniors, being most popularj, and acting as guardian to them, holding their hands when they were approached by rude Sophs and telling them of the pleasure in store for them next year-Caesar and Algebra. Thus the year passed and we gave up our childish ways to resume the dignified position and up- hold our newly-administered title of Seniors. September, 1919--Seniors so mighty Qthat's usj. Here we were again, but only about ninety out of the threethousand we started out with. But we started right, and did the best we could considering we didn't have any capable followers, and elected class officers and a Cresset staff-both the best there's been in years. QWe thought maybe you hadn't noticed this.j Cf course we didn't expect to learn much this year and we weren't disappointed. Ql..et's hope the teachers werenitj We took physics like we liked it, and agreed with teacher and 'fDoc Elwood like we understood it. VVe took American History just to get a point credit, and took TV English so as to have another study period. we had many assemblies due to the pull Eugene Bowman had with Mr. Brightman, and we had a good basketball team. Qlt wouldn't have been much good without Ralph and Duanej As the year' rolled on we decided that our motto should be All Freshmen aren't funny, it's just the way their mammas dress themf, The year finally wore on, much to our sorrow Qfingers crossedj g the Cresset was published, we were thru with De- tention, the sheepskin was ours, and the eventful history of that most valiant, distinguished class of the dignified Seniors of l92O passed on to join the innumera- ble crowd of alumni, ever supporters, ever boosters, willing to do and die for their Alma Mater.
