1bistor9 of ECIUOI' 51855 Our High School course is ending. We will soon join the ranks of the Alumni. It seems imp-ossible. Only yesterday we came to school, and today we are recording the history of our High School career. It would be superfluous to review one by one, the victories and de- feats which this history includes. It would be tiresome for those not interested. It is unnecessary for those who are interested. Such achievements as the winning of the inter-class debate are still the topics of conversation around the old halls. The memories of such victories as 1921 won on the gridiron are still with us, ever driving us on to nobler things. But these victories and these successes are not the ones that please us most. Rather, it is the raising to higher standards and the widening of the scope of Hornell's activities that gives us greater pleasure. Dur- ing the past four years, we have seen football and basketball victories over more and better teams than heretofore. We have seen second teams come forth in each of the different sports. We have seen the in- creased number of class activities. We have watched the development of the High School Minstrels into a superlative production. We have seen the VOLCANO erupt once again, and take its place in the rank of student activities. We have seen all this, and more, too. But that is not all. Our greatest pleasure has come from the ad- vance and the progress that the school itself has made. Each year has seen larger classes enter. Vifhile we are not permitted to enjoy it, the new building is even now under way. We have seen the standards of scholarship raised. Progressive ideals have been made practical reali- ties. We are now standing upon another hill top. A few days and We will again go down the valley-only to start the climb again. And as we go, may we carry the spirit of Old Hornell High with us, and may our lives do their share in the perpetuation of her glory. Twelve

ALEXANDER ARGENTI. Like the illustrious man for whom he was named, Alexander yearns for more worlds to conquer. We shall probably hear more from Alex for we are sure he will make a mark in the world. CLIFFORD BEST. Volcano 133, C453 Class Play 643. God made him, therefore let him pass for a man. Clifford Best, mortal extraordinary, and authority on all matters? Thus would the Parson', herald him- self, if it were in his power to do so, but since it is not, he must be con- tent to go about us lesser mortals, uu- appreciated and unknown. We dO11yt mind him though, and We like him be- cause we don't pay any attention to him. RU'1 H BLACKMER. School Pianist Q Adelphia. Ruth is a necessary part of the equipment of Hornell High School. VVitho-ut her, our High School life would not be complete. One may see her any day doing research work in the Library. Thirteen J
