We seemed very insignificant to those elder and more important people known as Sophomores, but deep in our little hearts we knew that some day we would be in their places, and we would not treat the Freshmen as they did us. But while we were thinking and saying all of this, time had passed so rapidly that the first thing we knew we were Sophomores, and you know those unappreciative Fresh men sa d we treated them as coldly as we had claimed we were treated. We took an interest in athletics and did our best. If you do not mind our bragging we were very successful during our Junior year. There were several members on the football and basketball squad, and a few in track. Another peculiar characteristic of our class was that we had all girls for class officers, which shows the vogue of woman suffrage in our class. We began our Senior year with the determination to be successful. It was a lon:t and hard struggle we had in trying to get an annual, but immediately after Christmas vacation we began in dead earnest, pictures were taken, and work progressed rapidly and steadily.

THE 1924 SPIDER WFB IDE SENIORS We are the Seniors Of nineteen twenty four; Who were but mere Freshmen Four short years before. Our next step will be Into a wide, wide world; Where many opportunities To us. are unfurled. We are but a small part. Of this young: generation; But by doing our best We may help our nation. High School and Mother Nature. And our friends so dear and free; Have aided us in deciding. What we in the future shall be. We have been taught many ideals. The greatest of which we contend. Is Service, and how to apply it To God and our fellow men. We were also taught to be honest. In our dealings great and small; That we might take some test and endure «t Instead of having to fall. May the dear old days of high school Inspire as we go through life; Spurring us onward and upward. Through happiness, trials and strife. And when our tasks are finished, And we come to our ourney’s end; May the world be a little better, For our having lived within. Wayne Leig’.ity Twenty
