18 THE ALARM 1925 Senior Class History FOUR YEARS AGO, thirty-eight green and shy Freshmen crossed the threshold of old Manlius High. They came with that determination to graduate or die in the attempt. Our first year was a very happy one. Due to our superiority in knowledge, the teachers assigned us to rooms three and six. Some of the upper class men said that it was because there wasn’t room for us in the assembly but we re positive that wasn’t the reason. Mrs. Rudiger tried to conv.nce us that a plus and a plus equaled a plus and repeatedly reminded us in Latin class that a grade below seventy was “flunking ”. Miss Perry taught us that “ain’t” ain’t right and Mr. Perry exposed us to General Science but very few of us caught it. We chose Mr. Rudiger for our class advisor and for our choice of class colors toko purple and gold. Our Freshman year soon passed and the first thing we knew we were Sophomores. It was now our turn to tease the Freshies. This year was more important than our first and we now better realized that each year took us nearer to our goal—graduation. We chose Mrs. Glassburn for our advisor and with her aid chose the carnation for our class flower and adopted the motto “B-sharp, never B-flat“. During our Junior year Mrs. Glassburn remained our advisor. Helen Ash from West Virginia entered our class and we chose her for our class president, Norman Miller for vice-president and Donald King for secretary and treasurer. We wish that Helen could have remained and graduated with us this year. We gave the Seniors a banquet, as is the custom for every Junior class to do every year. We believe that all will admit that it was some banquet, and our only wish is that the Junior class of this year will give us a still better one—if that is possible. Now there are twenty that remain. Our class advisor is Miss Fields. We, as Seniors have reached our goal, but we must not stop—only keep on pursuing higher ideals and goals. We have spent four happy years in old Manlius High, each better than the one before. We can go no longer, but our only wish is that the classes in High School and those that will some day enter will learn to love the school as we have. We have found that school days are the happiest—let’s hope that school day memories will be too. —Ella May Adams, 1925 Mother—“Now, children, don’t quarrel. What’s the matter?
