The Comet 1922 Class History FEELING of regret steals over the histor- ian as she writes these lines which shall close the history of her much beloved class. For four years we have labored side by side. The motely tribe which the fall of 1918 saw assembled for the first time in Nazareth High has long since been welded into a homogeneous body of strength and beauty, united by the bonds of truest friendships, and at peace with itself and its fellow students. How foolish, in the light of our Senior dignity, seem many of the childish episodes of our Freshmen and Sophomore years. Many of the preplexing dif- ficulties and obstacles mastered in our Junior year now create but a passing smile on the lofty Senior's countenance. Our number has been, to our regret, somewhat reduced, our history greatly changed, but our class spirit vastly increased. Ve have been noted from the beginning for having a progressive spirit and long before our minds were strong enough to grasp philosophical and ethical systems, pursuing the Perfectionist’s ideals. Thus, ever changing, has been our course. There have been times of rejoicing and times of lamenting, times of expectation and times of real- ization. The times of rejoicing came when we heard the welcome words “Professor---------will not meet his class this morning.” Times of lamenting when we felt our inability to cope with some of the more difficult problems, and the internal machinciv of the classroom did not work harmoniously. Times of expectation when we waited to receive our report cards, times of realization, when we motored to Stroudsburg when we realized and felt the benefit of those happy hours. Four years of faithful labor have made a mar- velous change in our mode of life. The lower class- men doff their hats in respectful awe as we pass in silent dignity. We feel assured that the strong in- tellectual powers manifested in our members will bring success. We have representatives for all walks of life. With these high aims in life, being endowed with sufficient energy and ambition, we feel that, though placed in the cold and unapprecia- tive world, our influence for good will be felt. Soon all will be over; orations and debates, events of the past; Senior hikes, parties, and picnics never to be again; Commencement, with all its glory, the long desired and hoped for occasion will no more be our goal: with all our close companions left behind, we bid farewell to our Alma Mater, professors, classmates and friends. With sorrow we look back, our memories clinging to the scenes of our school life as the ivy twines around the oak; and yet with joy and long- ing we look forward to the time when we can solve real problems, and decide the more momentous questions of life for ourselves.
