THE MUSE The Seniors had to pull down their flag but that didntt go, we cele- brated any way-and thereby got our vacation extended and also 5? per day off, which failed many of us. Then came the Junior-Senior Reception. That went through in fine shape. At least the Juniors all thought so. The year ended without further happenings for ns as a class. We returned in the fall of 1923, again ready for work. Could it be possible that we were at last Seniors. At last there were no upper classmen to look down on us and tell us what to do. My but didn't we feel dignified. VVe were Seniors and had a splendid new building to end our school days in, so why shouldn't we feel joyous. VVe elected class officers the first of the year: Ernest Reynolds, president, Helen Golay, treasurer, and Howard Woodward, editor-in- chief of the Annual. The work on the Annual progressed very rapidly. We had several parties, one at Herman Lowry's and one' at Howard VVoodward's, which were a great success. The beginning of the second semester found us eagerly looking forward to the end of our school day, which ended very soon. NVc left school mindful of our four happy years just colnpleted in L. H. S. and passed out into the cold cruel world. Thus our history ends as a class. H , 5- '2Zf0,f5? Hnos'? X M4515-1'Z4'vif4., as-f t ..,f. Twenty-Two

THE MUSE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1924 The September of the year 1913 marks the beginning of the Class of 1924, when we-little girls and boys entered the first grade of the Cambridge City public school. After eight long years in which we lost some of our members and gained a few new ones, we came to the realization that we were at last Freshmen and were ready to begin our last four happy years in H. S. NVe started in September of 1920 in our Freshman year, our class numbering thirty-five. Vile entered the Freshman Assembly eager for study and ready for work. VVe were confronted by such delightful studies as: Latin, Algebra and English and pursued them eagerly, clos- ing our eyes and ears to the continuous slams from the upperelass men, such as freshies always receive. As soon as we were all settled down to our regular studies, we or- ganized tlle class and elected officers. The officers elected to serve during the Freslnnan year were: Helen Golay, president, Pauline Mey- ers, vice-president, and Mary E. Daves, secretary. The winter soon passed and after what seemed a brief vacation we returned to school and entered on our Sophomor Year. There were only thirty of the original class left, five of them having dropped out, but we gained two new members, Charlotte Huddleston and Donald Kutter. XVitl1 Miss Kellum as sponsor, we elected class officers: Dur- wood Moore, president, Elizabeth Dyke, treasurer, and resolved to not neglect our social activities as we had the previous year. We soon mas- tered the dreaded Sopholnore subjects, Caesar and Geometry under the careful direction of Mr. VVinter and Mr. Hines. Our English class was very interesting, having Miss Kellum as the teacher. VVe had debates, mock trials and organized literary societies. At last the year came to an end. When we came back and entered our Junior year, our nulnber had decreased again. Four of our classmates had not returned, Pauline Meyers, Dorothy Hummel, Lowell Brooks and Thelma Lutz. There were no new entries, thus leaving our class very small. We elected officers: Howard VVoodward, president, Ernest Reynolds, vice-presi- dentg Elizabeth Dyke, treasurer, and started forward. There were rumors that we might spend the last of the year at least in the new building, but for various reasons when school closed we were still in the old building. VVe lost two of our members during the year, Glenn fillillalllilll, our Basket Ball Star, and Durwood Moore, ex-president of t IC e ass. We were forced to take a vacation three weeks before school closed, 'lhe same old story-Juniors refused to go in under the Senior flag. Twenty-One
