On a bright morning in September, 1914, eighty-three Freshmen stood at the threshold of a new experience, that of “entering High School. The dream of our schooldays in the grammar grades had materialized. Naturally we were somewhat confused at the intricate workings of the High School system, but we readily adapted ourselves to conditions. We held our first class meeting, electing Marie Keefer as president; Clare Biakeman, vice president; Ray Parks, treasurer; Alice Rees, secretary, and Mr. L. W. Auman as our class advisor. We selected Orange and Black as our colors, the tiger lily for our class flower, and for our motto “Esse quam videre.” Our Freshmen days were perhaps our quietest, so to speak, but at the beginning of our Sophomore year, with Asa Hepperly, president, and Miss Love as our sponsor, we proceed to startle the entire High School and Faculty with our exceptional brilliancy. For our officers during our Junior year we chose Hollis Askey president; Mary Hardy, vice president: Robert Canote, treasurer; Alice Rees, secretary, and Miss McMahon as the class sponsor. That year, the under classmen stood in awe of us, the Faculty praised us, for that was our “year of years.” Our best times, our most distinguished records, were had and made during that year, in other words we were “second to one.” What the future holds we do not know, but judging from our past accomplishments, we will climb on and up until we reach the very heights, and our class will be pointed to in the future as one of the beacon lights of our dear old N. H. S. Au Revoir until 1918.

Joys, Jaunts and Jollities of the Juniors. WIENER ROAST. Juniors! What a world of wonders that word held for us! We started the year off with a flourish by having a “wiener roast” at Kellogg’s grove. We met at the school and were conveyed to the scene of festivities in cars. After romping around for awhile, we enjoyed roasting “wieners” about a blazing fire. The feed was fine but only a selected few enjoyed the watermelons which were mysteriously hidden in a ford. Notwithstanding the fact that some grape vines tangled us up while on our Indian tramp through the “marsh,” we all voted a “magnorious” time. HARE AND HOUNI) HUNT. The next event on the Junior’s social calendar was a joint affair the Junior-Senior Hare and Hound Hunt. We spent the time allotted us in searching for the Seniors. After an aimless hour spent in wandering over all parts of the city, we met our elusive rivals and gaily escorted them to the “Y” where a royal feed awaited us. MISS McMAHON ENTERTAINS. We were all overjoyed! Miss McMahon extended an invitation to our class to spend the evening at her home. The class play was read and later, games and singing was enjoyed. At the close of the evening Miss McMahon served a delicious lunch and we departed hoping that we might be asked again. CHALK THE RABBIT. “What! Second childhood? Oh, Chalk the Rabbit Race? Well I should say so, I haven’t had any exercise since the Hare and Hound race.” And thus we left our solemn moods behind us and met at the library. It was a beautiful evening, March 29, and with all our stored up energy, vim and vigor we chased over all parts of the city, now in Verges’ park, then on South Fourth. After an exciting evening and the mysterious disappearance of a few of our members near North Fourth, we all reappeared on the scene promptly at ten ready for those ever famous “Dutch Treats” at Sweetland. VICE-VERSA. Although it is not leap-year, the Junior girls decided to show their hospitality to the remainder of the class by asking for their company to Sweetland. The event was a great success and the boys certainly showed their appreciation. CAST SOCIABILITY. After many long weeks of work the class play cast gave vent to their pent-up feelings at a grand celebration at Sweetland. After the favorite “Junior Special,” toasts were given by several members of the class. All adjourned, joyous over their great success.
