QRANGLQQB LACK 1 Senior History Four years ago seventy-six Freshmen, the last to enter the old High School, 'ccame in like lions, but now we are Hgoing out like lambs. We enter- ed in a grand crescendo, but are ending in some re- spects, diminuendo, as we now number only twenty- six. Our Freshman year followed the same routine of any ordinary class, the same struggle with Algebra, and learning what we had to do, and what we could not do. Our Sophomore days were stormy, but the waves and thunder subsided perceptibly during our Junior year, and now in our Senior year our dignity has almost overwhelmed us. Some of us have made the unprecedented record of skimming through our classes with little or no study, while others have burned enough midnight oil to materially help the Standard Oil Company. Of course, we loved all our studies, but a few HD of us are very partial to Geometry and Chemistry. Some of our members are real students, drinking deep of the fountain of learning-some have only sipped the fountain spray, but all know that true education is progressive and ever unfolding and that H. H. S. has prepared us to learn higher things. During our Senior year the H. H. S. had the pre-eminent honor of entertaining the Oratorical Association of Western Kentucky, our representa- tive, of whom we are justly proud, receiving third honors in one of the best contests since the Asso- ciation was organized. Among the fair girls of the Senior class are some brilliant literary lights, talented musicians, and some with marked histrionic ability. Some of our boys have distinguished themselves in various athletics, some in foot-ball, some in basket-ball, and some in base-ball. Our class Presi- dent has been the star of the foot-ball team for four years, and is the 4'Terror of VVestern Kentucky. Vle are especially proud of one of our boys, who is brimming over with school spirit and loyalty. His Wonderful ability of organizing and his gift of man- aging has won the high admiration and esteem of the whole school. lt is he, whom we have to thank for the thorough success of our school Cainival, the proceeds of which were so welcome to the Athletic Association. Vile all love old H. H. S. and we leave her not Without some regret, but the memory of the happy years we have spent while attending her will al- ways linger in our hearts. To each member of the class of 1915 Here's to your health, Here's to your wealth, Here 's to your future bright! GLADYS TAYLOR.

Cooper has always been a hard worker and he deserves credit for his business-like management of the 1915 Orange and Black. lt was unanimously agreed that the 1914 football team was one of the best H. H. S. has ever produced. As captain of this team he was always lovkillg after its,interests and WHS largely F9- sponsible for its fine showing- If would take a thousand pages to tell all we-'d like foo. VIVA L01'Kl-IR.

' Yivafs main amusement is at the picture show. She knows every actor and actress whose picture is dashed upon the screen, and carries on a cor- respondence with not a few of them. She also has a number of their pic- tures which she prizes highly. Yiva's friendship with Janie rivals that of Damon and Pythias. In fact their names sound strange unless pronounced together. In her classes she stands high and has lots of school spirit. JOE RANDLE. H. C. D. S. 111, 121,131g D. L. S. Vice President 1413 Vice-President class 141: H- H. S. A.

But do not niisconstrue our meaning for .loe is one of the best members of the class. He has not been coming to High School for years just for his health. XVe might mention some extra studies too. He has always had a fondness for electricity and will doubtless follow this line of work in the future. What he will accomplish remains to be seen but we know that his success is certain.
