3f«wior CX«im The arrival of the class of ’08 in the old High School occasioned various remarks—complimentary and otherwise. By some we were designated as the “greenest class,” but by the teachers we were called the “smartest.” We learned our “arao, a mare, amavi. amatum” so well that we quite astonished Miss Moseley, and were so smart in algebra that the faculty decided that we needed an extra half year to finish it. As the vast extent of our capacities was realized, the courses were changed. We were not required to take rhetoricals, hut as compensation we were allowed to take ancient history, which before had been considered suitable only for mature sophomore minds. During the first few weeks of our sophomore year, an air of unusual excitement prevailed. Groups on the steps at noon and recess was a proof that some all-important event was approaching, which was no less than our first class meeting. Through the efforts of some of the best class politicians, the campaign was brought to a successful close with Louis Halbach as president. During our second year we showed great oratorical ability, which was manifested in our sophomore contest, and also in the Arbor Day program. Perhaps no junior class of the High School has ever worked under difficulties as great as ours. From the Fire Barn to the City Hall, from the City Hall to the Library, from the Library back to tin Fire Barn; even such confusion could not separate us, nor dampen junior enthusiasm. We found that the Library Auditorium sufficed even better than the Main Room—for some purposes—and that the ten-minute saunters between class were the best possible exercise. Early in the fall we elected Rae Bell as class president. His administration, including the successful Junior Prom, was so satisfactory that we held no other election during the year. Owing to the seclusion of the seniors, the lower classmen naturally looked to the juniors for inspiration, and well they might, for in no other class can he found such steadfast qualities. As advice to the freshmen, and sophomores, we shall say that the secret of our success can he found in our motto; “Omnia per gradus.” (211
