H?stor'y of the '06 Class. A long, long time ago far back in the dim vistas of the past in the old, red schoolhouse on the hill, one bright Septcmber morning, the girls and boys gathered from all parts of town and of these the most important Cto themselvesj were the Freshmen. But they didn't feel fresh at all and they wondered why everybody talked about Freshman being green. It seemed to them that they were just like the other classes only perhaps a little brighter and cuter. During the winter they developed very much as other Freshmen had done before them but during the following March they established a literary society which was the first of the kind in N. V. H. S. and which has served as an example for all succeeding classes. This society did not dis- cuss great social and political ques- tions as do some organizations but began at the bottom of the ladder and gradually climbed upward try- ing always to improve. These meetings attracted so much atten- tion that even the dignified juniors condescended to visit them and grin their honored approval. At the end of the term it was decided that the meetings had been of too much value to be dropped and were there- fore carried on through the summer. One of these meetings was of spec- ial interest and must be given spec- ial note. It was held at Hinch- man's Cave and was attended by a hay wagon, lunch baskets and a sudden downpour of drenching rain. The Sophomore year was entered upon with the same old spirit for work and play. Here they were introduced to Julius Caesar and his Commentaries which they re- fused to fall in love with as Prof. Weedman had both purposed and fondly hoped. In fact a feel- ing almost akin to hatred took pos- session of their rebellious hearts and minds but when Julius brought to the front the famous Tenth Legion, the were subdued by the invincible ones. The literary society which had begun to lag was re-organized in january '04 and the work given a newimpetus. In fact it received such an impetus that when they were comfortably settled in their places in the new school building and the stir attending the dedica- tion was over they must needs send out invitations to their friends to attend an open meeting. During the following summer tl1e only sad event of their happy existence as a class was the sudden death of one of their most loved and honored classmates, Elmer Kinnear. The 'o6's began to feel- them-

selves to be indeed important to the school when they found their seats in the second row from the windows and two classes, the in- fantile 'o8's and the waxing 'O7'S looking up to them as juniors. On Nov, 4th,- '04 they joined with the Sophomores in a union class meeting which both classes endeav- ored to make as entertaining as possible. During the year '04-'05 the 'o6's had control of the Mirror which had been instituted the pre- ceding year. This heritage they gladly accepted and did their best to keep it up and edit in a manner to please all. Though they were not so successful with the paper as they desired they at least did their best and put it on a firm financial basis for the 'O7'S. The Senior year of the 'o6's has been uneventful but full of plenty of good, strong work. Now that their school days are so nearly ended they look back over the four years with a good deal of complacency and just a little regret that they will soon no longer be counted among the members of N. V. H. S. Still each must take his part in life whether it be great or small and the 'o6's are not lingering but as ever ready for whatever work is to be their share. 0 0 0 0 G Class Hattie We, the class of naught-six, be- ing of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all for- mer wills by us at any time hereto- fore made. We esteem ourselves fortunate in being the possessors of the precious accumulations of all the past cen- tnries. Even the scanty review we have taken of the things discovered, invented and thought out by man during the unmeasured epochs be- fore history began created in us a desire to leave these things to our successors WYII. Ea Ion. These possessions that it has pleased the fates to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows. Item: VVe give and bequeath to the High School our only book, The Hoosier School Master. This book, to become the possession of the High School on condition that each year others may be added until they have a collection of which they may be proud. Item: We give and bequeath to the coming Freshmen class Myers' Ancient History. We hope sh: may soon become acquainted with Psammetichus, Tiglath Peleses, Themistocles, Sennacheub, Thucy- -i
