SENIOR ANNUAL—CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED ELEVEN—ONEIDA HIGH SCHOOL CLASS HISTORY school, chasing hups and insects from one pasture and field to another and climbing: fences of all de- scriptions. 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. M. N. AND G. M. Finis.

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.
