SIENIHDIR ECILNSS l-llIS1I1Dll2NY I FRESHMAN YEAR We entered this great institution of learning 193 strong. Everyone was filled with the hope and inspiration of being one of the great leaders who would lead the nation in years to come. CProvided that we graduatej At first, we all made a few blunders, such as going to wrong classes, asking haughty'Sophs for directions and receiving stares for answers, and trying to execute the com- mands of the Sophs with alacrity. Of course we learned to our joy what easy subjects we were taking such as Algebra and English! Another source of joy came later, that of book reports. The Sophs held a party at which a few of us Frosh tried to crash, but we were promptly and properly bounced. At the Christmas Program, athletic awards were given to two Frosh boys who had played on the undefeated football team. The Class Party was held, but it broke up early, much to the dissatisfaction of those present. The annual Honor Ban- quet was held with honor roll students invited. A few girls of the class distin- guished themselves by being guests. Summer vacation found us all willing to take a rest in order that we would not strain our mental faculties by too much studying in hot weather. SOPHOMORE YEAR Being a Soph, we now had the privilege of making the Erosh suffer. CAnd how that privilege was used?j Football candidates were called with many Sophs turning out. What boy doesn't like to play football with those beautiful and admiring girls cheering on the sidelines? It's getting to be a habit for the Soph boys to rush parties. The latest was the Juniors The Love Pirates of Hawaii was presented. Several boys of our class had leading roles. The Senior Class held a St. Patrick's Party. Quite a few Soph boys were battered by Irish Confetti. Soph- Did you ever have chills? Erosh- Why no, I thought I had every subject on the list. What hour is it? The track and baseball teams had very successful seasons. The track team tied for first at the S. E. A. A. track meet. Exams again! Mostly all crossed the barrier successfully. It looks as if we future Juniors are going to have a new school building to clutter up. Everyone is looking forward to the time when it will be completed, not because everyone' is anxious to get back to the studies, but that vacation labor is making delicate hands look frightful. JUNIOR YEAR We entered the new school feeling very thrilled, not only because it was a new building, but because we were anxious to get started being a month, behind in our studies! The football team was unbeaten-becoming State Class B and S. E. A. A. champs. Glib-tongued Junior boys were again plying the art of- experts on the innocent school-teachers-that is talking, laughing, fighting, 3 Z

chewing gum, and blufling: while the girls were trying to act dignified, and trying to get on the 'iright side of the teachers. The Senior Thro-b was held with our class invited. A good time was had by all. Thanks, Seniors. The High School Glee Clubs presented the Belle of Barcelona. which was well received. The Sophs can feel honored because of the presence of a lot of Junior boys at their social gathering. The J Hop was held with the Senior Class as guests. A gala occasion with all present enjoying themselves. Delicious punch was served? The Commercial students took part in the District and State Typ- ing Contest and upheld the honor of the school nicely. The Honor Banquet was held with many Juniors as guests o-f honor. Both the girls and boys of the Junior Class won first place in Interclass Athletics. The track team repeated and took first place at the S. E. A. A. track meet. Summer vacation. Just think. we were now Seniors, the cream of the earth, etc. The class will surely have to reform, because Seniors are supposed to be dignified. SENIOR YEAR Our last year had come and the eyes of the mob were now on us. 'Twas a great feeling to be a Senior, thinking we knew all, and DOI knowing anything. The teachers, too, seem to have great respect for us, for weren't we the best students that they ever taught? My goodness, it seems that all the Senior boys have changed into men, fa few reddish whiskers can be seen peeping through on smooth cheeksj and the girls have changed into ladies Cwho wouldn't be with those long dresses-the mode being direct from Parislj Again, we beat our old rivals, Adrian, at the gentle pastime of football. The Senior Class was repre- sented by having six men as regulars on the championship team. Dancing was held after basketball games. Oh boy, how those Seniors can strut. The members of the Junior Class were guests at the Senior Class Party. Everyone enjoyed themselves, especially those dancing. The High School Erolic was held and well received. The Juniors threw a grand party for our class. Wow, what a time. Many thanks, Juniors. Exams for the last time. Class Day Program. Com- mencement Program. Ciraduated-what we longed for we got, but after get- ting it, we didn't enjoy it. That's the way of all things in life. And so, of course, this history must end because we must now leave the old school and go out to seek our places in this ever colorful world of today. Some of us will succeed, while others will fail, but such is our fate. --George I mo. 3 3
