Class History ily E1.17,1.m1TH XVELIAS N the fall of 1922, we entered upon our High School career, nineteen strong. As we walked up the stairs, that first morning, no one could have felt better and of more importance than we did. XVe were the most important beings in the school, in our eyes, hut sad to tell, it was not long hefore most of our egotism was knocked out of us in various and sundry ways by the Sophomore-s and the High School teachers. I,atin was our greatest burden, and most of our number fied from it as they would Hee from a lion, to the Agriculture and Home lleonomics Clourses. But with Miss Irwin struggling with all her might to beat something into our empty heads, we at last succeeded in reading a little. VVe also began Algebra this same year, and to our great astonishment we found that it was not so awful, after all, and most of us were able to conquer it, with Mr. Rogers to drill us in X, Y, Z's day after day. Thus, we struggled through our first year of Iligh School life. XVith one of our number having taken up house-keeping, eighteen strong, we greeted our new superintendent, Mr. Durham, in the fall of 1913. hiiss Riley tugged with us this year in Algebra. Everything moved along smoothly and we gained each day in our Sophomore importance. Soon, however, the end of the year came and we were once again set free. Our original class was now reduced to fifteen, but though we grew less in numbers, we grew greater in ideals and aspirations. Now as wise and lofty juniors, we began to feel that getting an education was a really serious affair. Miss Sadler ca111e to us that year to guide us in our lfnglish work. Mr. Dew came all the way from Florida to assist us in our study of Algebra, we also began French under Mr. l3lll'llIll l'llb leadership. Most of us succeeded in at least under- standing what it was about. This year all too soon passed away, and we were given the long suinmer months to contemplate tl1e serious business of becoming dignified Seniors, September, Ifjl-5, found us again plodding our way at the call of the bell to our beloyed sfhool building. At first school hardly seemed the same for we had lost lNiiss Irwin whom we all loved and admired. VVe must have lost all our knowledge of English during the summer, for although our present Ifnglish teacher struggled very hard, she was 11ot able to find any trace of English in our minds, N This year, more than ever, we have realized that it take: a great deal of perserverance and pluck to master Math. Our heads have been stuffed with rectangles, isosceles triangles, and circles within circles, until some of us are haunted at night with geometrical ghosts with triangle heads and all forms of beings with angles less than ninety degrees. The class of '16 has been a live, progressive one, stepping out into fields hitherto unknown in our school. XVe held the first graduating exercise in the seventh grade, and gave the first Junior-sSenior banquet. Vl'e have successfully entertained several times during the present year, proving that we are not only serious minded in our work, hut competent as social leaders as well. Most remarkahle of all, we have planted the Carrier -the first animal to be edited by the Middleburg lligh School. XVe are a versatile class-knowing our faults but filled with self- confidence to finally succeed. As we go forth, each his own way, let us ever be mindful of our motto: 'I'hey can who think they can. 18
