 ■..- a.- Senior Class History 9 N a September morning in 1913. it began raining, the first rain for a period of many weeks. It seemed as though the heavens took this means of showing its gladness at the advent of the one hundred and fourteen members of the Class of ‘17 into Norman High Though this day was dark it was not an omen of our future High School standing. Of our Freshman year we need only to say that with Mr. Todd as our advisor we were su- preme in everything We were pitted against the Sophomores in our class fight and were defeated only when the other classes went against us also. In the intcrclass debates we won the cup We placed many men on the football team and a memtxr of our class has been the talk of the state throughout our THE FOUNTAIN career Again, in the classroom, our records surpassed those of any other class. With class spirit running high we began our Sophomore vear. ITic first thing that oc- curred was the class fight and we exposed the craniums of the hreshmen to the violence of the elements In football we placed four men on the team, the best halfback of the state among this number In debating work we defeated the Freshmen, but because of bribery of the judges we lost in the final contest. One of the members of our class won the essay contest prize A class basketball contest was arranged and our team defeated everything, only losing one game throughout the whole schedule An inter-class meet was held and our represenatives carried off more points than all the other classes put together Nor did we fail to live up to our reputation in the classroom, but better, we even raised our former record. We began our career as Juniors with the intention of having the best class in school. I o start with, we again made the football team take on the appearance of a Junior team because of the number of Juniors upon it In debating, our class placed three of the six members on the High School squad, as well as again winning the beautiful silver cup in the inter-class debates The basketball series again was started and after the Junior team had run up a score of thirty five points over each of the other teams, the championship was given to our class We won the inter-class meet and Abbott, our representative, was a great point-winner in this meet We instituted a school magazine. The f'oeus. which no other class has ever undertaken We also instituted a Junior Class Week which was so successful that it has now become an established feature In scholarship it is needless to say we far surpassed all other classes. With the memory of three successful years of High School life as a basis, we began our Senior year with the purpose of making it a fitting basis of our course We confess that we cannot help but look with pride on our present class and its record We have a Senior class composed of eighty-seven members, of which seventy will graduate, which will be the largest graduating class in our school history In football we have again mude it our class team as three of our men take State honors We as a class or as a High School did not have a basket- ball team this year because a satisfactory schedule could not be arranged We expect to have a baseball team and it is certain that our class will be as well represented this year as last We won over the Juniors in our class debate, but due to the over-confidence of our team, we lost to the Sophomores I lowcvcr. of the six men that form the High School debating team, five are Seniors, which we do not think so bad In classwork have we lost our reputation' Most assuredly not Even though we are undergoing the trial of Physics our educational standard is still supreme As the Senior class, it falls to our lot to put out this issue of The Trail Of our success in this we leave it for you to decide We have now passed over four years of our High School life and as we have shown you. we have been first in ahletics. in debating, in scholarship, unsurpassed in class spirit, and now we make our reluctant departure—Adieu! — 19—
