19-Reminiscences-19 1 You remember, don't you, the qualms with which you got ready to go to High School that first morning 'way back in 1915, the that nearly choked you as you neared the place, and the awful hollow inside of you as you actually mounted the steps? excitement You were impressed by the assembly and filled with high resolve. You were confused. You were strange. Yes, you were scared. But you determined to perish rather than let those high school f'smarties see that. Eventu- ally you got lost-and were kindly directed to the elevators. The charitable Hcup of cold water was generously offered to slake your parching thirst-at a nickle a slake. Poor little green and white freshies-green in ex- perience, white with awe-your colors were well chosen! Z Remember how soon, tho, we got to feeling chummy with ourselves-we, us, 1919, THE CLASS! 3 And Miss Seacord culled a dramatic club from amongst us and taught them 'LMiles Standish. Ah! Bernhardt had nothing on Priscilla, Margaret Bond, nor Southern a shade on George Arbeiter, Standish. And Conant ever since has been living up to the advice implied in MWhy don't you speak for yourself, John? 4 Then along in the spring of the year, Mr. Smith discovered that Mr. Shakespeare would have been three hundred years old if he'd lived, and that it was up to us to celebrate his death with a pageant. So we did-the whole school did, the whole town did, in fact, but Claude Dano was Romeo-in white tights and a feather an' everything. And Dorothy Roberts was Juliet. And lots of other '19,s carried a canopy over them. And lots of other 19's were Macbeth witches. And Fern Perry was a Herald-and not so much rode as she was carried by-a horse. It was a grand day for the 19's-and of course others. 5 The next year, you recollect, we got to be SOPHOMORES. Some Class! Literally some class-we were organized. We had a class council. Fern Perry was chairman and ran things. George Clare, Fred Sehring, Robert Curry, Fred Lauer, Marshall Wheeler and Robert Shaw also ran. Miss Blair and Mr. Shutz helped with the running. 6 Sociable bunch, too. As Freshmen we had been brought up on Social Hours. Now we howled for a party. Had it-danced till the hour of 10:50 and were sent home. Miltona Moore gave a piano solo that night, Teckla Bale and Lizbeth Castle danced, Leona Schuessler spoke a piece-and were there others, do you remember? Wonderful night, anyhow, wonderful white night! 7 You know how it is-looking back. You may not remember that we won the class basketball tourney, as Sophomores twe didj, but you'll never forget the autumn sunshine down at those first foot ball games, nor the brisk breeze on the bleachers, nor the thrill of the snake dance, nor our pride at being hoarse from roaring for the team. No pop- corn will ever appeal like that we sold-and generously ate-in the interest of the Sopho- more treasury.
