Aa Efhvg Saw 155 It was in the fall of 1914 when the Murray High School was dedi- cated and a few classes, of supposed-to-be greenhorns, enlisted in the army of education. Of course, the highest class was looked up to as the leaders and it was a very difficult task to bring the lower classes to light. ln fact. they were' so unruly as to make it necessary to post rules and orders around the corridors and frequently have a few special deputies sta- tioned around to direct the miscreants to their class rooms, or I fear there would have been no stairs left in the building. But. wonder of wonders! Wfho would believe that the lowest and most unvarnished class is now to be the honored Senior class of 1919? XYho could have believed when they were introduced to Clifford in 1914, that he was to be the favored one in the selection of a student body president? There's Ed., too, he has always been gifted with the art of ex- pression and it's small wonder that I. C. Penny chose him as one of his salesmenj Billie Peters was always considered a Billy the slow but he has kept in step with the rest of the class and will be honored with a cer- tificate of graduation. l'm sure no one would imagine Madge as a fancy dancer or Sylvia as an opera singer, but their thoughts are drifting in that direction. During the few years we were together at high school I would in- variably class Madge as a debater and Sylvia as an unchallengeable accompaniest, if she would but laugh. You can never fail to tell when Nellie, Minerva or Hope are around. They have each developed a most extraordinary laugh since they arrived here and if you but hear one peal you would surely know who was near. That must be their characteristic as they can always be heard and never seen. NVhen the class would hold a meeting they would send these three out in different directions to laugh and the rest would come running. Although they claim Wfilford as one of their graduates, he has been a member of our class from the first, and if the war had been postponed he would have been a graduate of 1918. I know he will always claim that he is a member of our class. I think the army must have been a good thing for Gordon for he isn't a bit like he was when l knew him before he went to camp. He still, however, makes an excellent song leader, so we will have him lead us in the song entitled Three Cheers for the Orange and Black. s .

Aa Killing Ser 135 Father Time has spun his wheel around once more, another year has slipped rapidly by and now comes the parting of the ways, for it is almost time to bid farewell to our Senior class. They have made a brilliant record and have honorably and proudly stood by the orange and black. All members have contributed much to the upbuilding and betterment of our school's standards. As usual we see many faults as well as many virtues and many things that are puzzling to an underclassman. 'VVhy must a Senior after three years of oppor- tunities to study other Seniors still look upon himself as an exalted being? Their benign air of wisdom remains unruffled as they at- tempt to master English lit', or chemistry. Even after a desperate struggle with chlorine, or phosphorus, or Spencer, or Chaucer they remain calm and collected. Their usual air of preoccupation is gen- erally worn to create an atmosphere of deep thinking and lofty rea- soning. Wfe appreciate the fact that all our Seniors have the ability to assume much of the leadership of our school. They have instructed us in guiding our student body government through the perilous pit- falls which so often beset the way of the incompetent, so that next year we may take the reins with able hands. VVe shall miss them and undoubtedly often wish for their return but if we follow their example of industry and school spirit we cannot go astray.
