Class History of the 1914 Seniors -- WAY back in the bronze age of the school, the infants, Hannah Workum and Katha- V rine Ernst entered Oakhurst and began rapidly climbing up the tree of knowl- A edge. When they reached the fifth or sixth limb they were joined by Katharine Pratt and Priscilla Brown. The next year Marjorie Lowman came, and then Katharine Hauck and Helen Payne. These were all valuable additions to the original two, HI nr- 15 and we now reverence these seven as the pioneers of the class. These youngsters, hand in hand, year by year, mounted upward into the intermediate branches to- ward the first star of their ambitions, the Freshman Class. In 1910 came the Renaissance period, when the seven, with Laura Graham, who had entered the year before, entered their Freshman year. As I have said beforettetdirect quotation from Caesar, therefore good referencetein 1910 the Renaissance began. There was a marked advance- ment in the works of the time, both literary and artistic. There was quite a change, too, in the ar- rangement of hair and the length of skirts. This year, Violet Twachtman and Katharine Wright came into history. Violets career was short and sweet, for before many months she had to bid farewell to her sorrowing companions and move away. Not so With Katharine Wright. She moved away, ttis true, but she has come back every year since as a boarder. During the Freshman period these girls developed the art of giggling to a high degree. Helen Payne, Katharines Hauck, Ernst, and Wright and Priscilla Brown all through their school career have been fa- mous for this. They giggled on many occasions and frequently ended in the hall, because they shook the tree of knowledge too much.
