The History of the Class of 1903 0 T IS with considerable trepidation that the historian enters upon the arduous task of chronicling the epoch-making events in the career of the Class of 03. The incidents in which it participated, the mooted tjucstions it revived, the causes it championed, and the battles it waged arc all too fresh in the memory of the present generation for the histor- ian’s account to be accredited as either impartial or authentic, adhere it ever so closely to the truth. Realizing that several cycles of high school students must have passed through the beloved halls of our building, bctorc the events here recorded will be viewed dispassionately and with a due respect for the corroborative evidence of numerous historical citations, the chron- icler has sought to verify, even a: great expense of time and labor, the following account o! 1903’» meteoric career. Survivors of the various escapades, eye-witnesses of important events, and veterans of the battles have been interviewed at length, archives have been searched and original records diligently compared, in the hope that each statement might he authenticated beyond the questioning of the most skeptical. The Class of 190 ; entered the high school in the fall of 1899 by invitation from above and not because of pressure from below,5 and dis- played unusual adaptability in quickly adjusting itself to the new environ- ment. 1 I: immediately revived the lost art of bluffing successfully and 'Ct'.

Their monitors, after rising to report the absccnccs, remained standing like the Roman guard at the gate of Pompeii, unmoved by the tumult and confusion about them. The Principal finally came to their relief and permitted them to be seated.' On the day appointed for the Freshmen to entertain the school by instrumental solos, recitations and readings, there was more hilarity, laughter and exuberant joy than on any previous similar day, and the class felt highly honored and gratified at the appreciation of their efforts. •’ During the Sophomore year much of the time was devpted to the cultivation of the social side of school life,1 and to careful study of the Ct.
