Hzstory of the Class of 22 i At last through the sorrows and pleasures, the toil and duties we now, after four long, yet happy years, can give with inward satisfaction, thc definition of a senior- One who knows and knows that he knows. Wllell we started upon our High School career as a Freshman, we were given the definition of that lowly and much despised llass, or Fish, as we were then called. We were told that a Freshman was ne who knows not, and knows not that he knows not. In this first year of toil and delusion, we were introduced to the snares and pitfalls of Latin and Algebra and were forced to forget ourselves and study Physiology, or the function of human organs. Then, after we had passed, what seemed to us, insurmountable barriers, we entered upon our Sophomore year. Here we were made to forget thc present world and live in the world gone by. History they called it. All through our second year we struggled loyally with Caesar and here too, we became murderers, killing and diseeting the innocent worms and hugs, trying to learn something of Biology. Then came our triumphant entrance into the Junior Class and here again, we heard the definition. lt seemed that the words would follow us to our graves, but we listened with fast beating hearts only to be told that a Junior is One who knows and knows not that he knows. ln this year we struggled bravely and were not so easily discouraged by Cicero in his speeches Ad Senatunn llomanumn, or by the funny squares and circles of Geometry as we had been by Caesar's campaigns against the Gauls and X's and Y is of Algebra. Now at last we entered our final year at dear old K. ll. S. A Senior! W'hat name sounds more thrilling to our ears, or more dignified to our minds? Not even the tangles of Latin, French and Spanish, nor the many themes in English, can dannt our courage, for no one can dispute opinions of a Senior, 'tWho k11ows and knows that he knows. Witli such a store of knowledge as we have acquired and above all, with a diploma with the seal of the .Knoxville City Schools placed upon it, show us worlds we cannot conquer and tasks we cannot do, for then surely we can prove our valor and knowledge which our beloved teachers have done their best to impart to us during these years. We have fought bravely through our eleven years of school life and with an undaunted spirit we can hold our heads high and go forth, into our future life the better man the better woman to face the ordeals of this cruel unfor- 7 7 7 7 giving world. l 1 -William Bonldin, Class Ilfistoria-n. 12 I .
