Miss Bailey welcomed us and we straightway fell in love with her. Somehow we happened to stick together through our toothless days and at last we were what we thought young ladies and gentle- men, when we passed “upstairs” into Miss Rowe’s room. When we were in the fifth grade the departmental system was established. It was very suc- cessful but I am afraid we were just a trifle confused at first in passing from one room to another. In the seventh grade a shy little girl whom you wouldn’t recognize as “Ola” joined us. We had gathered all the bad boys of the school into our class and when I think of the stunts we used to “pull off” I wonder how so many of us lived without a few broken bones. Our class was such an unusual one that the school authorities thought it advisable to establish mid-year promotions. Oh ! how we studied to finish a year’s work in a half a year, but we all did it. We entered “High” at the end of the first Semester and caused a good deal of excitement. Our “pep” and “go” made us popular and the rest of the high school folks sighed when they thought of our futures. The next fall found Wilma and Willard waiting to join us. Our original class had grown smaller and the new members were made welcome. Because the school was so crowded, they tucked us away into a room upstairs far re- moved from everyone else, but we were happy and were the envy of the rest of the school. The Great War had found some of our boys ready, two members of our class made the supreme sacrifice and now sleep in soldier’s graves in France. As Juniors we directed all our energy to helping “win the war.” In place of the usual receiption, we gave a dancing party to the Seniors and donated the proceeds, fifty dollars, to the Red Cross. During this busy year Alice came from West Virginia to be in our class and help us. This, our Senior year, has been rather discouraging because of the time lost during the influenza epidemic, but we are trying to make up for lost time this semester. On the whole, our school life has been so interesting and pleasant that we are sorry to find it so nearly completed.
