CLASS HISTORY Colors—Maroon and Gray Motto—B-2 and XL. Officers: Mary Elizabeth Thomas------------------------------ President William Wiseman.................................. Vice-President Ruth Markwood----------------------------------------..... Secretary Donald Clump —.............................. -.-. Treasurer Earl Shenker---------- ---------------------------Sergeant at Arms The history of the Class of ’18 briefly told, is as follows. We were received with welcoming embraces as Freshmen (boys especially.) In the second part of our course we realized how really insignificant we were. As Juniors, with the tried and true who had weathered the storm for 2 years, we formed an organization. As a class we took part in all school activities and made a name for ourselves as embodying true school spirit. As mighty and dignified Seniors we are second to no one. Realizing the serious business for which we were preparing; as a unit we have worked with unquenchable zeal to attain our goal. As our patient and learned instructors will testify, when we have a will, we have a way. Coming to the close of our school life, we regret probably that we have not the privilege of again enjoying and living thru the prepara- tory days of life, but as a class, we are proud of our achievements in these halls of learning. In the last year of our school life we had forcibly brought to us the fact that, “Life, is but a fleeting cloud.” In the death of our class pres- ident, we were left dumbfounded and in the heartfelt sorrow at his loss, we were bound into closer fellowship by grief as for a lost brother. We managed to struggle through those dark times however, and now we are awakening to our duty to the country. Several members of our class have seen it to be their duty, to offer themselves in upholding the laws of God and the honor of our Country. “Good luck, fellows, and may you return.” Coming back to our school careers, it may be said that you get out of life what you put into it, and we are glad to say, that as a class, we have always given our best to the task at hand. In telling about our school life, I shall not tire you by recounting our activities, for each his- tory is nearly the same, but if you read the history of our class you must needs look into the future, for there shall we make ourselves felt in the history of the nation. When we approach this parting of the roads it is with a feeling partly of joy, at having reached a long wished for goal, and partly of sadness at the thought, that when we are dismissed for the last time, never again, probably, shall some of us see the faces of our friends, who thru four years of toil and fellowship have been our joy and inspira- tion. At this opportunity, we the Class of ’18 wish to bid you, our teach- ers and all friends of Lancaster High School, “Adieu.” —By Irvine M. Dungan, ’18. 25
