History ©if ftltae Class ©if 1915 We came, we saw, we conquered is a statement that very nearly describes the Class of ’15. I say very nearly ; for the mere idea that any combination of words could give a true account of the Seniors is absurd. We came as Freshmen and saw as Freshmen the Herculean Labors that lay before us. We did not take one or two years to accustom ourselves to the light; but, taking off our coats and rolling up our sleeves, we went to work. Now comes the impossible—to relate not only what we conquered, but what we built up. It was as green Freshmen that we won the Reading Contest and the Indoor Track Meet, and, finally, accomplished the feat of having a member of our class on the Football Team. As Sophomores we wrested the Basketball Championship from the hands of our sturdy schoolmates. And as Juniors, we made it ln o Reading Contests and a Track Championship. In our Senior year we assumed the leadership and made the machine so perfect that the watchful eye of Mr. Barnes was no longer necessary. It was as Seniors that we emerged from our cocoon and spreading our beautiful wings let the light slowly filter through them, sending a beautiful rainbow down the path we had ascended. We sucked the honey of another Oratorical Contest and a Basketball Championship from the deep, sweet-scented flower of Glory. Then we gently floated off and soared higher and higher, the entire world standing amazed and breathless as it watched this favorite of the gods, until we reached the height where we were no longer visible to the human eye. As we pass beyond the gates of our home, we shall carry the fame of two All-State football men with us; but above all we shall leave a High” sunning itself in the greatest honors that any class has ever left. In truth “we came, we saw, we conquered ; but even beyond that, we have builded better than we knew. PAGE NINETEEN
