Editorial THE OLDEN days, the school was a place where one studied, and sometimes learned, reading, writ¬ ing and arithmetic, Greek, Latin, and higher math¬ ematics. But with the coming of a more complex and speedier civilization, the school had to en¬ large its curriculum in order to satisfy the multifarious needs of modern youth. Not only was the curriculum as such en¬ larged, but also there was included a phase of school work known as extra-curricula activities. These activities include such things as baseball, foot¬ ball and all forms of athletics; Literary societies, Dramatic clubs, Forensic clubs, and the many other interests. The football teams train, practice and play games, which we all enjoy seeing; and all the other organizations furnish en¬ tertainment and amusement to those who are interested in them. Yet, the football games are soon over; the glory of winning a debate or public speaking contest soon becomes but a memory. Then, too, many pupils are not able physical¬ ly to make the athletic teams, nor can many of our students make the debating teams. And that is just the reason why the school annual is included in the list of extra-curricula work. The year book presents the opportunity for pupils of this type who are interested in journalism to engage in work that is congenial. The school annual is a chronicle, a recorder of all classes, all organizations and interests. It embraces all the other activities and brings them together so that you may enjoy the event long after it has actually happened. It is a book that in years to come will take its place along with the family album, as a reminder of the good times you had and the pleasant people you knew during your days in high school.

(Class BfiBtnrg Freshman ITH FRESH minds and a feeling of supremacy, we left our Junior High School teachers and classmates to en¬ ter into the first year of high school life, the goal which we had been striving to attain. We found confronting us the problem of preventing the Seniors from ac¬ quiring the privilege of initiating the “Rats.” Of we were very much opposed to this, but finally, much to our delight and relief, the Seniors gave up the attempt. Several of our girls made the basketball team as substitutes in their Freshman year, and some of our boys made the base¬ ball, football and basketball teams. We also had entries in the Public Reading, Public Speaking and Debating Contests, all of which we were very proud. Of course, the sympathy and guidance of our teachers, Miss Alice Gilbert, Miss Walmsley, and Mr. Cashell Donahoe, were the things that guided us successfully through our first year. All of our activities were centered in them, and we shall not forget them as we emerge from the first trying year, through the ordeal of examinations, becoming .... Sophomores. % fc sk h 5k % Sophomore We entered our Sophomore year with joyful hearts, for we had “outgrown” the title “Freshie” and were now settling down to work to make this a successful year in our long journey. By this time we had fully acclimated ourselves to our sur¬ roundings and had become familiar with the rules and regula¬ tions which governed the school activities. This was done through the aid of our Sophomore teachers, Mr. Cashell Donahoe and Miss Bertha Robertson. A few of the boys and girls who entered the athletic teams the preceding year, won letters for their cooperative services on the teams; some were not quite so successful but hope re¬ mained in their hearts to receive their reward the next year. During the end of this year our thoughts were centered in the Junior-Senior Banquet. With the problem of raising funds Page nine
