Senior History People in general think that class histories are all alike, and that to read one is to know them all. But is it true? If cne becomes acquainted with the members of a graduating class and is familiar with the little things which go to make up individualities, one becomes certain that all classes are not alike, and that class histories therefore widely differ. Of course, every class believes, and tries to make others believe that they are the most talented, industrious, and thoroughly alive class that has ever existed. 1915 begs no exception to the rule. Just four years ago (not four score and seven) our des¬ tiny brought forth into Lowell High School a rew set of greenhorns, used to their own sweet liberties, and dedicated to the proposition that all classmen are created free and equal, Freshmen not excluded. Since then we have engaged in a great mental struggle, testing whether that class or any class so conceived and so dedicated, can endure four years of school vicissitudes, and come off victorious as Senio v s. Thirty-nine began their High School career in 1911, and after encount¬ ering many new branches so arduous to youthful minds, a large majority, were left to enroll as Sophomores. It takes almost a year to get familiar with the school customs, and be ready to take the initiative. So it was in our second year we began to take an active part in general functions and to invent methods by which to evade quadratics, surds and Ceasar, but still become Juniors. When we were Sophomores one of our number, Faith Viant, won first place in the Lake County Oratorical contest. It was as Juniors that it began to be evident that our class contained as many live wires as the next one. Several of our members held prominent places in all school organiza¬ tions. Our boys were “stars” in the Basket Ball teams. A number of the class were exempt from the finals and extend¬ ed their sincere condolences to their faithful comrades toil¬ ing over the examinations which were to land them over the border into the pleasant pastures of Seniordom. We are now on the last lap, almost ready to leave the cares and joys of a High School that has safely guided our footsteps through diverse and devious paths. This is no doubt the busiest year of the four since there are so many affairs inherent in graduation besides the increase of necessary work- Cur deportment in Physics laboratory is said to be almost as bad as when we were taking Freshmen drawing or in Miss McLean’s assembly. The first “E. B.” team this year is 3-5 Senior and a bet¬ ter team is hard to find. As we now separate to continue making histories for our selves, surely no one will try to be anything but worthy of the precedents set by his comrades or to be other than an honor to the Class of 1915.
