MIRAGE Senior Class History of ’19. On a September morning about four years ago, we, as a class entered the doors of this grand and glorious institution of learning. We hoped to make our presence felt in a body but when we came into the hall and found our upper classmen assembled in groups we feared something must be wrong and fled in all directions. The most of us will never know how we got into the auditorium. However, the first thing I knew, I heard a voice in front of me saying something about a Scripture lesson. I ‘listened more closely and here is what I heard: “Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not.” Now everyone of us hoped that when we entered High School we would be ladies and gentlemen, and here it was the very first morning— children! Think of it! Children! Then they began to sing (I say they because our jaws were chattering too much to even try to talk). They sang “Swinging in the Grapevine Swing,” but I’ll tell you right now that I felt as though I had fallen out of a grapevine swing and I wasn’t alone in my agony. Nevertheless the “edge” soon wore ofT and we really began to enjoy life, especially since we only had to be there a half day. When warm weather finally came and we were informed that we could go home to “mamma” until the next fall, wc readily obeyed. Just as sure as night follows the day so will autumn follow spring. Thus with the turning of the leaves we were again called to sendee, being advanced from “privates” to “corporals” and after our summer furlough we were able to enter the battle with renewed vim. We went over the top, over “No Man’s Land,” and stood waiting at the Junior trenches. At this point we were again advanced and now became “sergeants.” We were now an organized company and Captain Stuckey with the rest of the staff have done all in their power to make our battles light and interesting. Victory is sure to come to those who play square and ours came when we as a Junior class presented our first play. One victory only makes you anticipate the next, and so it was that wc entered the fourth line trenches and were commissioned “Lieutenants.” Many who should be in our ranks have given up the battle and quite a few have drifted or been drafted into matrimony. We hope they are happy. Nevertheless when the crowning victory of our life comes and it is not far distant, we will leave these trenches forever for the trenches of life where greater battles will confront us. Will wc fail in these battles? No, we will continue to advance until Father Time has stayed our steps and our life work is done. MARY M. HOFFMAN. 35
