i0torp of tbt Cla$0 of Ci)irtp T hree years ago, the Book of Time shook under an invisible hand, the dust disappeared from its covers, and the silver bindings fell back, disclos- ing a smooth, white page with only one word written in bright green let- ters at the top — FRESHMEN. Then the hand began to write — “Today, Sep- tember 12, 1926, a new group of strange faces have been seen in the old high school building; faces that are mingled with joy and curiosity; faces that shall be called freshmen until this page is completed.” The hand ceased to write and not until some months later did it begin again. This time it said, “some of the freshmen hoys have made the first team, the Echo and Crystal have received this class’ support and the library has been enriched with new books through its efforts. Their duty is done, they will hence go forth no longer known as fresh- men.” This page trembled and slowly turned, revealing another entitled in black ink — SOPHOMORES, but not until the end of the year did the hand begin to write — “This Class of energetic sophomores have kept up their record. A num- ber of their boys were taken in the Monogram Club as results of their fine work on the ball teams, several of their members were chosen for the new 1928 Crystal and Echo staff, and their loyal support has been given to all the school activities. They are now ready for their next with the silver letters — JUN- IORS.” Once more the page turns and the hand resumes its record. The Class is very proud of its record this year, because they feel that they are now a real part of the school. Many of their classmates have successfully carried out their work on the Crystal and Echo and their athletics are recognized as some of the best in school. Others have been claimed by the Hall of Fame and their girls have been welcomed by the girls’ basketball team. Tliey are a good, stalwart class that will proudly fill the page with the gilted letters of gold — -SENIORS with a record that they will be proud of because it will be the last and best page of all in their Book of Time.
