CLASS HISTORY The eventful day had at last arrived when each member of the (Mass of 1911 were taken by their mo'hrra. older brother or winter or nome lovine hand to school. Our mothers had told us that when we were seven we could all start to school and we were aVi very anxious to ?o. but when the day had at last arrived we all thought that somethin? dreadful had befallen our young lives. When the Inst bell ran? there were twenty-three trembling souls gazing at our teacher. Miss flavin. . r •«•tier known as: Mrs. John Kenney. This year was un eventful one in our young lives. We all learned our A B C’s and a little Arithmetic, which included addin? and substractin?. � ne day some visitors came to school and one pupil became so interested In them that she would not learn her spellin? lesson. At class time Myrtle was asked to «pell several words, but rach time she tailed to spell the word correctly so the toucher compelled her to remain after the other pupils had ?one home. Myrtle thought this was hard punishment, but she bore It with a brave heart and so was allowed to ?o home after she had learned her spellin? lesson. Many other happenings occurred this first year of school life which were land marks in our youn? lives.

CLASS HISTORY but the greatest one was the last day of school when- each one spoke a piece or sang a song, and after bid- ing our teacher adieu we carried all our books home to enjoy three long months of play. The three months of vacation soon passed and when September came again we found that four members of our class had moved away, but our Jolly Helene started to school this term and as she had already been taught her A H ( s she entered our ( lass. One day shortly after our new member Joined the class she lost her handkerchief and cried as if her heart would break, until Miss Gavin went out on the play ground and brought the lost article to the own- er. The owner looked very much pleased and smil- ing through her tears says. Thank you. We had now entered the second grade and as tin- work was somewhat harder than it had been the previous year, we were all becoming well acquainted and spent many happy hours together. We had pic- nics out in the yard under the maple trees. Hide and go seek, black-man. pom-pom. pull-away were our favorlate games and we had fun besides work. The next September we began to think we were growing pretty old. for we were promoted from the first room into the second. Here we found a new DESCRIPTION A quiet, well-behaved little girl with h shy retiring disposi- tion: would be quite good look- ing if not so awfully skinny; hates lw ys and will have noth- ing to do with them: has no ac- complishments; couldn’t play a grind organ and sings like filing a saw.

In this room we labored two years under various difficulties, some of the hardest being Arith- metic and Grammar. Toward the middle of the second year our teacher resigned her position and Mi Boyd filled the va- cancy. I'ruler this teacher’s guiding hand we «pent many happy days. When spring at last arrived we were all sorry to leave the dear old school room, where we had spent so many happy hours. During this year five new members were added to our num- oer. whom we were very glad to have Join our class. The next year we found ourselves under another teacher. Mr. David Struthers. from whom we learned about mother nature, painting, drawing and writing. We also were taught that cleanliness I next to god- liness ami various other thing pertaining to our character. After remaining two years under Mr. Struthers in- struction we were promoted to the fourth room. Hy this time we thought we were growing real old. for our room was situated on the second floor. Our first teacher in thl room was Mr. William White. We worked very hard this term, having taken up Geography and Physiology in addition to our other st udies.

We were compelled to take examination In this subject about once a week. As music was very difficult for some of the pupils to understand it was a frequent occurrence to see Helene gilng some of the strugglers aid. We worked hard on our music les- sons and finally succeeded. We envied the pupils In the eighth grade struggling over their lessons and wished that we might enter the High School in the coming September, but little did we know what Joy and mirth was awaiting us in the eighth grade. When school opened in the coming Kail we found ourselves under the Instructions of Mr. Holiday. Arithmetic had now grown to be one of our diffi- cult subjects, it seemd to be imposlble for some of us to understand papering, carpeting, annual interest, compound proposition. prom'jssary notes, plastering, stock and bonds and even to multiply and divide cor- rectly at all occasions. one night after school a Jolly group of Grain mar Room girls were going up town when we met several High School girls.

At first we did not believe this, but we soon realized that It was the truth, for the dew-drops were falling thick and fast over the cheeks of two of the Kiris. The next Monday morning a nine o'clock we were all in our seats gazing at our new teacher. Miss Blg- low. The remainder of this year was spent In the most happy times. We were taught all the common branches, among them being Grammar and United Stales History. This year several pupils Joined our class but among the most promising was Kva Weech. In the coming fall we found ourselves In High School with two new teachers. Mr. Fultz and Miss Mosher. Surely this was a red letter day when we first started to High School. Several new members Joined us in the freshman year, among them being Lulu Thorne, James Kenney, Royal Sundell and C Rylander. Many happy hours were spent together this year, going sleigh riding, skating, picnlcing and other sports. The sedate sen- iors thought we were green to act so foolish, as we some times did, but we managed to pull through the Freshman year Into the Second Year. The studies in the Freshman Year were Algebra. Knglish. Physiology. Zoology and I atln.

Latin was hard for a great many of us and we felt like a heavy burden had been lifted from our shoulders when the forty minutes had passed each day for recitlnp Latin. The next year we were Sophomores and we now had the fun l uphlnp at the Freshmen, who are now our Jolly Juniors. At Christmas time it was our sad fate to lose our splendid principal on account of ill health. After Christmas Mr. Rennlck became our principal and dreaded subject of Geometry was added to our course. We worked hard to prove that all stralpht anples were equal and it was a difficult task for some of us to see that a stralpht line contained an anple. In 1909 and 1910 we had become Jolly Juniors. This year a dreadful subject fell in our path to be studied by the name of Physics. Bach one dreaded to enter the recitation room when the time for recitlnp was at hand, and we had the same feelinp when we left the recitation room as we did when we left it after Latin class. Two literary societies were formed this year in the Iliph School. ( ne was composed of the Freshmen and Seniors and was called V. S. A. Rut the Jolly Juniors and Sophomores formed one society which was known as N. P. lT. The latter society issued a paper several times durlnp the term, which was en- titled “N. P. U. Although the paper was not large it contained many InterestInp items both to the High School pupils and others. The N. P. IT. society also pave several programs on special occasions in the study hall which were en- joyed by all who heard them. The last September In 1910 of our Iliph School lives we found ourselves under a new teacher. Miss Hannon. We took Solid Geometry. English. Latin civic and the common branches as reviews this year. Our Senior year was full of many toilsome days, we burned many midnight oils working Arithmetic prob- lems and other difficult subjects, and when spring arrived we had only gained a little knowledge but we have now reached the time when we must bid adieu to the O. H. S. and enter into life's school. And life ia one great opportunity. In closing this brief history of the Class of 1911 can we do better than ask, each one of himself: “What use do I Intend to make of this opportunity?” The whole future of the Republic for good or ill depends on the way In which we individually answer this question.

With my weary body stretched out In my easy arm chair to rext—the kind of rest that one craves to clear a troubled and perplexed mind—for 1 was weary with my work of th hours and vexed with my seeming slowness to comprenend the hidden mysteries of the sciences that our worthy professor was striving to record upon our cere- brums. As I sat thus musing, my honored classmutes seemed to enter and exit In the scene which my clouded mind beheld; and it aet mod as If I were again in the prehistoric class- room—this time, many years hence. In place of the bright, roguish faces of youth. I beheld in my colleagues, the stern and dignified expressions of men and women in their prime. Around them all seemd such an atmosphere of skill and learning, that I congratulated myself on the fact that our capuble professor had so instructed us in these mysteries-- that I was one of such a grand circle, one in whom the fire of newer, broader, higher purposes had become a part of their very beings—and so rlched with the accumulated treasures of knowledge and experience. How pleasant It all seemed, a beautfiul dream and yet a reality. The little fairies of imagination and fancy seemed to be weaving about me such a magic spell that I could feel the thrill and tingle of enthusiasm that come from the West- iand —the soothing influence of the “shady Glenn' after a “Melton day —the warmth and brightness of the “sunny Dells,” where the “Thorne” seemed to flourish in its beauty and the “Myrtle twdne its delicate tnrlls around our very heart strings, while the “Maybells” w’ere loudly proclaim- ing the arrival of Johnny-jump-up in Adam's garden of Eden.

My vision changes and ns the procession of former classmates was thrown upon the curtain of my Imagina- tion. I beheld the cool, shady glen transformed into a lion's den—not the wild cave-liko den 1 had at first imagined, hut a cozy one where happiness and love reigned supreme.

Royalty indeed was a strange Rooseveltlan like- ness in whom I recognized my old friend Sundell. who. hav- ing mastered the mysteries of mechanical science was demonstrating to the rising generation the value of con- centrated effort, only acquired by constant adherence to tne Rennick doctrine. The magic spell still holds me as I be- hold how great a class was ours- but still I had felt that this was only the Que of something better to come. The flowers the lovely fairies seemed to weave in a huge bouquet, only to fall at my feet or shower around me. were thrice beautiful, when 1 perceived an Adam and Eve in charge of the floral gardens, and rightly styled the head- man In the art. Amid the din and clatter of the rising city, I beheld the fair Myrtle, and as the misty cioud cleared, a suffragette she appeared and ugain my heart was thrilled at the re- sults of an earlier training; the aggressiveness of the fair members of our class was wonderful. The May bell seemed to be charming the heart and lit of the crowded populace with sweetest music, winning her way Into farne, thus scor- ing another credit on our roll of worthy colleagues. The dramatic abilities of our one-time declaimer, seemed woven into such excellence and eloquence, that rom platform to platform. In her travels she received the grand ovation— isn't she a Lulu! Still my fancy’s procession moved on and the one-time farmer girl is swaying the rod of sweetness and love over a bunch of young hopefuls, serving her country and the ris- ing generation, such as Eva of the class of '11 could do. The spell seems breaking, but I dimly beheld our own worthy professor fired with the call of the wild —direct- ing in his inimitable way a university In the far west In a rising city, instilling into those wild and wooly Western- ers the great value of concentration of mind, such as we the class of double one was so thoroughly endowed with. In a large crowded city there appears looming in view a large massive building which 1 plainly discerned as a con- vent, having as one of its occupants our own fair Cath- erine. But she longs to be free from its prison-like walls, when lo! and behold, as if by mugi.c she is rescued by her prince charming and hied away to live and reign in love’s sweet domain—forever free from the perplexing problems of her spinster companions. lastly—I beheld your class prophet mending his way along in this grand procesion. but his course deviates from the crowd as he enters his study to prepare his sermon for the morrow. The directing of his flocff into the straight and narrow way. in which his instructors had sc� rigidly insisted that he should walk. As the vlson grows dimmer and dimmer, 1 aroused my- self from my seemingly entranced state of mind to find the room in darkness, save for the light cast over me from the few remaining embers. I find my book still open on my knee and again I realized that even though we may have been happy in our work we can still be happy in the thought that others will take our places and be as happy as we were during the hours, which will be ticked away by the same old clock on the wall. We wish our successors happy years and with these farewell words on our lips we hope to find this great class, unbroken. In the great alluring future- as my vision pre- dicted.
