Chronicles of the Class of ’19 The Book of Freshmia 1. Now, Lo. when Mr. Myers was principal in 1915 it came to pass that a number of youths and maidens fair entered Norman High School. Now the youths and maidens fair did form a class and its name of ’19. 2. A prophet spake unto Mr. Myers and saith: “Thou shalt love this class, yea. with all thy heart, even fifteen times more than any other. And behold, Mr. Myers answereth and said: Even so. shall it be. 3. And when this class entered Norman High School there was rejoicing and gladness throughout the land as was never before witnessed. 4. Now there was a council of wise men called together to sec how this class should be arrayed. 5. And seeing this class was good they spake and said: We shall array them with a mantel of purple and gold. 6. And now the favored class of Mr. Myers, after many notable deeds as in debating, became wearied and fell into a deep sleep. The Book of Sophomorkiza 1. And when '19 had awakened from its long sleep and it beheld a new class, and lo. the eyes of '19 were opened and saw the brightness of ’20. 2. Now the hearts of’19 were large and it straightway had compassion on the brother class ’20 and was kind to its members and instructed them in the way they should go. 3. There was peace and joy throughout the school, and it came to pass at this time that '20 seeing the wisdom of ’19 was jealous and disobedient. 4. And when ’20 came and stood where he could see ’19 in his pride and splendor, it said: We raise up a throne and '19 will fall down and worship us. 5. So when ’20 came unto ’19, saying: “Thou hast cared for us but now the time has come when thou shalt fall down and worship us. 6. But alas! They knew nothing of the power of ’19. For it was at this time that the Sophomores arose and defeated the lordly Seniors in the inter-class debate. Sclah. The Book of Junioriah 1. Now when '19 awakened from its long sleep it beheld '20 preparing to overwhelm it. 2. But remembering the words of the prophet, 19 gave a call which brought all the ouths of the class together, and they counseled together, saying: We will take this silver cup and prepare for battle.” 3. So saying three of the most brilliant youths prepared themselves for battle. 4. At last the struggle came and the two did clash and strive. 5. And it came to pass that when all was peace and quiet the Prophet appeared and said: As thou hast been so humble I will give you a place of honor in the debating history of N. H. S.' For again the cup was captured. 6. It was in the spring of ’18 the Junior-Senior reception was given by the Juniors, an event to be forever remembered by the members of those classes.
