Senior Class History THE Senior class has completed its four years in X. H. S. with its numbers somewhat depleted from the time that we started. One rainy, dreary morning, early in September. 1014. over fifty pupils Hocked toward X. II. S.. all scared and flustered about the mistakes they might make and the severe looks the teachers might give them: but soon all these fears and misgivings fled, the sun chased the clouds away, and the pupils were joyful and happy. We sighed with joy that we passed that first day all right. The ensuing days passed quickly, and before we knew it. the term was at an end. Our Sophomore year found us quite haughty and we did not pay much attention to those low Freshmen. 1 lowever, we became more democratic and proceeded to make a name for ourselves. e won a dehate from the Freshmen, became popular socially, and tendered a farewell party to Miss Werley (now Mrs. Brobst), at the end of the year. In our Junior year, we were superior to any other class (so we thought), for we were the life of X. H. S. Our boys composed almost the entire Basket Hall team and the Orchestra members were nearly all Juniors. We took an active part in Literary Society and in all other school doings. Our last year has revolved quickly, but not without results. We, the dignified Seniors, instituted the monthly magazine. La Pcrlc. I his required quite a bit of work and the copies were sometimes late, but better late than never. We also played a prominent part in Athletics, having four Seniors in the Boys Basket Ball team and three in the Girls Basket Ball team. The class of 1918 gave the leader, two clarionetists, one cornetist, the pianist and the bell and drum player to the Orchestra. We don't know what they will do next year. Yet these achievements are small compared to what we hope to do, “We finish to begin and in time our scattered numbers will be found in law offices, as instructors in colleges, as heads of large manufacturing concerns and perhaps even as street cleaners. We owe a great deal to X. H. S. and although we part, we shall never forget her. —W. R. 18
