Page Twenty-Four Class Poem Here’s to the class of ’22 A place in life demanding, With hearts that are true And will to do That surpasses understanding. Here’s to the classs and the colors we chose To place with those preceding, We’ll meet our foes And results disclose For in strife we’ll always be leading. Here’s to the class and the motto we give To those who are left in the strife: It will courage give To know that we live, Not for ourselves but for life. Here’s to the class, over fifty strong May we know no rivalry, With our colors and song May we never go wrong Here’s to the Emeral and Ivory. —Ruth Davis.

i$ THe Hoe Poe Class History The Diary of the Happenings and Accomplishments of the Class of ’22 September 4, 1918—-Hearing a great buzz, like mosquitoes in a rain barrel in May, down at the Senate (or Junior High School) | turned my steps in that direction and arriving there just as the entrance gong sounded, | en- tered with the crowd. A considerable number of strangers graced the seats, and I at once deemed that they were foreigners. Some, however, I had seen in different stations during my last visit, which had been in the spring. These foreigners looked as cheerful as could be expected of them under the circum- stances. They were silent and timid, while the natives approached extinc- tion because of intense curiosity. September 5—At last the regulations and rules have begun to be com- prehended, each member has set himself diligently about his chosen tasks; | having been persuaded to add my person to the already goodly number. September 30—By this time all the foreign members have learned the names of the autocratic pedagogues, and have discarded so much of their | reserved nature, that the male division venture to address the fair sex in | poetic language; while the latter gossip incessantly with all and about every- thing (or nothing). | October 15—Calamity!! School is closed indefinitely on account of an unknown empidemic called Influenza. January 2, 1919—Christmas vacation over. Flu epidemic over. The new year has come in and brought with it great fears to the members of the Senate, for rumors have circulated themselves that a certain delegation of persons from the Senate will be sent to the Senior High School, where terri- ble dangers lurk. January 14—This morning, with tearful eyes and saddened hearts, we bid hopeless adieus to the little company doomed to the fearful trip. We have as yet received no definite word as to their fate at three o’clock this af- ternoon, except that there was much noise and commotion reported to come from those quarters. Because of this calamity a mutual friendship has sprung up in the hearts of all the members; foreigners and natives are as one. | Jan uary 15—Trustworthy reports have come that the ill-fated com- pany has been found and not a member was missing though several apparent- ly felt diminished. April 1—Lo! our class knoweth no bounds! A worthy publication called the Hoop-Pole Junior has sprung into existence over at the Senior High, and two members of our class have been appointed to important posi- tions on the Editorial Staff. May 26—Not much done the last few days. This being class day at Senior High, we were invited to attend the court session this afternoon. Curiosity triumphed over fear and we bodly approached our future home to see the action of those queer animals called Seniors. It was a grand affair but we were disappointed as the Seniors, neither wore Crowns nor were they clothed in cloth of gold as we had expected. All over, we set about with joy to enter upon vacation.
