History of Class of Twenty It was in the fall of '17 that we, the largest, most erudite group of freshies ever known, slowly entered Niles High, gazing fearfully at the sophomores, wonderingly at the juniors and reverently at the seniors. Not being initiated into the mysteries of the several corri- dors and many recesses, we wandered aimlessly about until directed to the respective wardrobes by some obliging senior who kindly es- corted us from there to the assembly room. We finally became ac- customed to the regime imposed upon us by the faculty and, after the period of hazing, we really enjoyed our new environment. With the aid of the rest of the school, we had a pleasant freshman year. We elected our officers and pondered over our lessonsg the school entertained us at a Hallowe'en party and various other social func- tions. The next fall we returned grateful that we would no longer be the butt for all jokes since we had safely evolved from freshmen into the all-powerful sophomores. As this was the first year we had had a chance to show our initiative we made the most of it. We formed the nucleus for the Hamiltonian Literary Society and have watched it develop from its embryonic stage into an aggressive ma- turity.

Dora Wright as Zenobie, Howard Kendrick as Brisemouche and Wilfred McLaughlin as Ana- tole. We entertained the cast at a delightful banquet immediately after the last presentation. Then, on June sixth, we entertained the seniors and school board at the Junior Banquet, which was followed by the Junior Hop. In the fall of 1919 we came back to school with a very different feeling than we had anticipatedg we realized that it was our last year in good old Niles High and that in a few short months we would pass from its halls forever. We, therefore, began immediately to apply ourselves with the determination of getting out of it all possible. Soon we held a meeting for the purpose of starting our annual. We gave a party to the entire high school in which we E291
