jentor Class pistor? In the fall of 1909 a gallant band of Freshmen marched up to the front door of N. II. S. and boldly demanded recognition as the best class that ever passed through the arched doors of Norman High School. As vc, clad in the heavy armour of knowledge, proudly marched through the halls to the auditorium, both the students and the faculty stood back in wonder and in awe and watched us pass. Here, after selecting our studies for the ensuing year, we began to climb the rough and rocky path that leads to that sublime summit where each shall take his place and await the awarding of his diploma. In our Freshman year we were not only superior to any preceding class in our room work, but were also the leaders in athletics, having four men on the football team. In the fall of 1911 we. as Sophomores, again entered upon the activities of high school life. Notwithstanding the fact that many of our classmates had dropped by the wayside, we were still able to hold our former title as the cham- pion class in school. In the fall of 1912 we enrolled as Juniors. Although we were considerably smaller in number we proved ourselves to be the strongest class in school. Two of our men were chosen on the football team, two on the track team, and. out of the seven debaters who were chosen to represent N. II. S.. five were mem- bers of our class. When school opened in 1913, we, as a class of forty-four members, entered school with a feeling of pride that we had at last reached the highest position in high school life—that of a Senior. We have many valuable students in our class to whom the underclassmen point with pride and aspiration. We have reached our destination and without the slightest deviation from our first fond aims we have received our diplomas. We are leaving Norman High School with a feeling that it may be said of each of us—“He has done his duty, as a man is bound to do.” (28) L
