This is not the history of a mighty nation or of illustrious characters who play important parts in national history. It is the history of the Senior Class of the New Harmony High School. Of the forty-nine pupils who started to school in 1910, twelve entered High School in September, 1918. There were added: Glenn Bailey, Samuel Grimes, Frank Johnson, Fidelis Ryan, Margaret Armstrong, Velada Bacon, Lida Frieg, Julia Green, Helen Smith, Ruth Smith, Mozella Venters and Mary Wade. We found that the course of study in High School was much different from that given in the grades. We learned that We could now join a mysterious organization called the Literary Society, about which We had heard a great deal. Most of the boys were hazed and some of them related incredible tales of their thrilling adventures while in the hands of those cruel upper- classmen. So hideous were these tales that anyone not acquainted with school boys would think those upper-classmen were savages whose atrocity was unsurpassed. In spite of our many difficulties the year passed quickly and vacation came, giving everyone a much needed rest. September ushered twenty-two vivacious Sophies into another year of high school life. Four classmates had left us, Samuel Grimes, George Horton, Julia Green, and Ruth Smith, and two new members-Hazel Mc- Fadden, John Henderson-were added to the class. The school gave a carnival which created much excitement, and the proceeds were a great help to the Athletic Association. Most of us succeeded in passing the final exams and were very glad the school year was over. After three short months of vacation eighteen jolly Juniors began another year's search after knowledge without Velada Bacon, Charles Given, John Henderson, Hazel McFadden, Mozella Venters, Charles Greg- ory, and Frank Johnson. Three others, Maurice Armstrong, Myron Cox and Leslie Steelman, joined us in our struggles. Six Juniors were on the H. S. Debating Team-Myron Cox, Fannie Cox, Frances Heckmann, Ger- ald Hurd, Paulinus Lawless, and Roy Sanders. The class elected Gerald Hurd president, chose purple and gold for our class colors, and bought sweaters of those colors. After nine months of hard work we adjourned for vacation. , Sixteen dignified Seniors began the last year of their school career in dear old N. H. H. S. Charles Given was again with us. Richard Ford. Fidelis Ryan and Fannie Cox left us. Of the sixteen only eight, Charles Given, Gerald Hurd, Paulinus Lawless, Roy Sanders, Helen Endicott. Frances Heckmann, Jennie Kemmerling and Lena Owen, were among the forty-nine who entered school for the nrst time, in September, 1910. As we approach the close of this our last year in our beloved school, our hearts are tinged with sorrow. Recalling the many pleasant experi- ences of those past school days, we now realize those years were the hap- piest ones in our lives. ROY SANDERS, 22.
