SENIOR (’LASS HISTORY Four short, happy years have passed since that memorable June day in 1018, when some eighty of us girls and hoys heard the words “well done, thou good and faithful students; pass on into (Ik path of higher knowledge”. Thus admonished we passed three months in joy and prayerful ness for the coining years in “Old Norman High”. At length when the day of enrollment arrived wo sallied forth in new clothes and great pride. On all sides however, remarks of tin “grass' and “beautiful green color” assailed us. We were not so green though that we could not understand the meaning implied, but this only served to make us more determined than ever to make old N. II. S. sit up and take notice. Accordingly we entered into every activity with such a whoop and vim that the word “Freshmen was synoiiomous with the word “pep”. The next year, however, was even more a victory for us for now we had passed our emerald mantles on to our successors and had attained Sophmore dignity. Despite Faesar and Heometry, those bugbears of every youth, time was found for debate and athletics where the old “Frosli” pep exhibited itself. By tin Junior year many of the original eighty had “fallen by the wayside” or been “drawn into tin bonds of matrimony . However this by no wise hani]M red the remainder of the class, who under very efficient sponsors “put on” an elaborate carnival where many astonishing per- formance's and side shows greeted old friends. The crowning event of tin year however, came with tin picnic given by this cla-s to tin Seniors. Needless, to say, it was a very merry bunch of people who left for Down- ings lake . So with the bright background of three years of work and pleasure and a reputation for good hard work established, the class prepared for a last happy, all too short year. A very pleasing feature of the year was the box supper given in January. In March, we Seniors put on a snappy three act comedy. The energy and pep of the class which was character- istic in the other years was never absent. Mixed with all this lmppin ss though, was a feeling of sorrow and regret for never more would the Portals of Norman High he open for us of this class as a whole. The place which we of the Senior class had tilled would be taken by succeed- ing classes, who would try as we had to live up to the old Norman High Spirit. ETIIFL WALK FR i.
