¢ Ta EP TACNeE I £ Senior Class History The fifth day of September in the year nineteen hundred and nine- teen is a day which will never be forgotten by the class of nineteen- twenty three. On this particular day a band of very intelligent people desiring to seek more knowledge, were told of a sanctuary where an abundance of knowledge existed, and if they abided by the laws and rules thereof, their thirst for knowledge would be quenched. So the band decided to try it out, and entered the sacred portals of Mars High School 1n a very contented state of mind. Our band consisted of thirty-eight members, some were former eighth-grade students of Mars Public School, others were from the surrounding countryside. However our contentment was short lived, we soon found out we were not as important as we felt, and after many mistakes and foolish questions we became accustomed to this new mode of living and began to feel at home. After becoming rightly established we came to the conclusion that we needed a leader, so we called a meeting and chose a very manly youth, Randall Williams, to lead and guide us. We decided a common insigna was needed to show our independance and we chose colors of orange and black to be our emblem. During the year, the Freshman, as we were called, gathered for many social functions and feasts. In this year many black and fearful battles were waged with the tribes of higher station and especially with a tribe known by the name of “The Faculty,’ whose leader was Prof. Alfred H. Foreman. But in all these battles the Freshmen came out victorious and after a short rest were ready tobegin a new and more difficult journey, the band then became known as ‘The Sophomores.’ On our second journey we took up the quest with still a member- ship of thirty-eight, as new members filled the places of the ones who had left. In this year ‘The Faculty’ acquired a new leader, Prof. Clarence A. Conley, who was a graduate of Mars High in the year nineteen hundred and ten. 22
