CThe Alarm Senior Class History FOUR YEARS AGO a group of twenty pupils were suddenly brought together as they journeyed up the path of learning. Now they must enter a new path at the head of which was a sign reading, “Manlius High School . The grade had suddenly become steeper but this group of travelers proved themselves equal to it. There were others traveling in this path who did not seem to have a very good opinion of the newcomers. But they soon saw what a wonderful group of people they were and began to show a respect for their talents. Of course, my dear readers, you have guessed that this was the class of '26. This was a strange path to them and they were unused to the new methods of travel; but they were a progressive group of people and were not slow in picking up new ideas. As was usual with classes beginning in this path, they organized themselves and selected a class motto, a class flower, and class colors. For their colors they selected light blue, dark blue, and gold and for their flower they selected the white rose. This was a class possessing original thinking so instead of following the examples of older classes by selecting an English motto they selected a Latin one—“Nee Pluribus Impar , or A Match for All”. As was usual the Sophomores gave a party to the Freshmen, which the Freshmen returned. Both parties were enjoyed by all present. During the second year, of course, it was their duty to give the Freshmen a party and everyone admitted that it was a real party. During both the first and second years this group of people were making a scholastic record that made others sit up and take notice. The third year was probably the most eventful year of their travels. The class again showed its originality by giving their play during the first semester instead of at the end of the year as other classes had done. This class of '26 was the first to give a royalty play and more money was taken in than at any other play previously given in Manlius High. Some of the members also entered the speaking contest and two members of the class (Gladys O. Johnson and Arthur Neahring) were selected to go to the contest at Mineral. Miss Williams was the director of these activities and through her efforts the members of the class were advanced, at least a short distance in the arts of speaking and acting. Another feature of the third year was the Junior-Senior banquet. Miss Fields aided the class in planning the banquet and it was served by the Ladies Aid Society in the basement of the Lutheran Church. Both Juniors and Seniors were very well satisfied with the banquet. So our third year ends and our fourth year begins. The class has dwindled, a few dropping out each year—some to attend other schools, some to begin their life work, and some, perhaps, to soon be strolling down the peaceful (?) path of matrimony—until now there are only twelve left.
