Senior Class History. Senior Class! O Senior Class! So carefree and gay. May the high school remember us When we are far away. In the year 1913, early in September, there set sail over the Sea of Knowledge a magnificent fleet proudly bearing aloft floating banners of green and white. This fleet was headed for a far distant land called the Land of Graduation, which could be reached only after a long voyage of four years over this much-traveled, but to them, unknown Sea. There were four Isles: Freshman; Sopho- more, or Land of Wise Fools: Juniors; and Seniors, or the Land of the Owls; to be thoroughly explored before reaching this romised land. On board the vessel, which ad been recruited from such minor Isles as Grant, Lincoln and other ports, and which composed the fleet, were eighty voyagers called Freshmen, each firmly resolved to succeed or go down with the ship. These Freshmen were well protected by their ('aptain, R. B. Bedell and President Fay Rorapaugh. The first port reached was Freshman Isle. Here a few were so enchanted by the charms in and about it, that they were loath to depart, and even took no heed of the fleet when it finally sailed away. Upon Freshman Isle the travelers met with a strange kind of people called Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Of the numerous incidents which occurred on this Isle they arranged a gorgeous float. They also entertained at numerous parties such as the Hallowe'en party, surprises and theater parties. After an enjoyable year the Freshmen took their departure for the next port, the Isle of Wise Fools. As they neared this Isle, they felt their heads begin to swell, and thought themselves very wise indeed. Upon landing, they found that they were no longer Freshmen, but Sophomores much like those they had met on the Isle before, but much wiser. Everything was now quite different from Freshman Isle. Here as Sophomores they were headed by a devoted sponsor, Mr. Hubbard, and President Hattie Hepperly. It was upon this Isle that they found Caesar's bridge of which they had heard before entering. Along the Isle they picked up remnants of the preceding Sophomore class gazing longingly into the Sea of Knowledge and being warned of Scylla and Charybdis, which were to come, they left the land of Wise Fools and sailed on. At last Junior Isle was reached and all the voyagers now landed and spent a very pleasant year under the direction of their sponsor, Miss Lula Durland, and President Cora Stockton. Some had the misfortune to go too near the grasp of Charvbdis, alias Cicero, where they were kept unwilling prisoners. Notwithstanding these terrors, pleasures and enjoyments were to be found there such as the Junior-Senior banquet, the successful class play and numerous little trips to the town of Sweetland. The last and most important Isle of all was Senior Isle, or the Land of the Owls, which the travelers reached in safety. We were at all times guided by our worthy sponsor Mr. Leon B. Walker and our president Dwight Sprecher. Although the class has been in a whirlpool of studious and business careers working with the Milestone, Lecture Course and Class Play, we have had many enjoyable times at numerous class parties and meetings. At the end of the fourth yrar, a long roll, very creditable to the Seniors, was made out showing that many had absorbed the knowledge necessary to reach the Land of Graduation. And now the four long years have passed; the Freshmen of 1914 are the Seniors of 1917. They have had many experiences during their voyages, of which the enjoyable ones far out-weigh the unpleasant ones. As the Seniors scan the horizon from the stepping stone of Graduation, they see many conquests to be made and they believe that in the future, as in the past, they will show themselves ready for any test that may be put to them. SENIOR CLASS YELL. Rickety Rackety Russ. What’s the matter with us? Nothing at all, nothing at all. We’re the class the classiest class That was ever classed in any class. SENIORS!
