It is then that we shall derive a great deal of our pleasure from memories of the past. In this Annual we are endeavoring to, put a record of our joys and sorrows of the four years now drawing to a close. In years to come when we live again the days of our youth may we look through those pages and find them a source of infinite pleasure and pleas- ant memories will insure our happi- ness. MR. H. C.

We often wish in the days agone To rend the future’s veil. But now we know how soon, too soon, We come to the end of the trail. We have glimpsed in the future picture Fame’s consecrated hues; We have studied and studied for many nights To pay our high school dues. But most of the things that men hold dear Are those that pass away Fair Friendship’s glow and schools brief hours Soon fade in the passing day. So now we have come to the parting For time’s rough feats prevail, And on this date—my dear classmates We must part at the end of this trail. Yet dreams must have their makings, And hopes oft have their end E’er fates accord a fair reward For all the hours we spend. To win without proud boastings Or to dauntless fight and fail Is the best for a class, is the test of a class, When they stand at the end of the trail. But the steepest, and the lone long trail Of life has just begun, With eyes that are sad, but with hearts full glad We turn to the rising sun. May its beams light the trail with the glow of hope And dispel the vagrant fears; May fame and health, and love and wealth Be ours in the coming years. May the deeds we do cast ne’er a blot Or Pais stain E’er we hasten away we fondly say, “We'll cherish this dear name.” Till we enter the deep dark vale All the love sincere, For our class so dear At the end of the last long trail.

For years we had looked forward to that day as in the grades we were instilled with knowledge and high aims. With this knowledge, these high aims, and the help of our beloved instructors, we were soon no longer green and fresh, but were able to assume almost as much dignity as we now possess as Seniors. Although, Freshmen we captured prizes from the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Among these being three half holidays and a large picture of our class room. With the exception of a few who fell by the wayside, thus we covered the first year of our high school career. Chapter II. The second year of our high school career was started on September 14, 1925. As Mr. Erwin, our class supervisor and home room teacher, could not be here the first two weeks, we had a substitute. But after we got started the days went so fast that Christmas vacation came and we were free for the time being. $ tarting back to school we went to work with a will because ex- aminations were coming and we had to keep up our reputation. This year as the year before, we were honored in getting prizes and the best one was a very large cake presented to us by the Parent-Teachers’ Association. Also one of the important features of our Sophomore year was our play, “The Little Clodhopper,” directed by Mrs. Rinker, and pronounced quite a success by our appreciative audience. Throughout the spring, although Caesar was our nightmare, we managed to keep such a cheerful and busy class that we were bringing joy to our teachers. We were all glad when vacation time came so we could rest after the hard winter’s work. a ie “e rapier, THE COMET SENIOR eG AS Smaruonne iey, Chapter I.

Still we got along admirably as we were beginning to acquire that self reliance and independence which is characteristic of all Juniors. We worked with such a will and so much zest that we would have passed our Chrismas holidays in the class rooms had Mr. Bagby not re- minded us that such an act would be impossible. Then after our return to school came the mid-year examinations, which were our joy and de- light. After examinations, most everyone thought of a nice long rest, but no such fate, for the dramatic talent among our members. Several weeks of hard practice and “Clarence Decides” was given. Everyone in school cecided that the play was realistic and the acting superb. Then we dreamed of one grand night of fun and merrymaking, the night of the Junior-Senior banquet, which came and was gone, but it left a sweet remembrance which can never be erased from our memories. Chapter IV. When school opened on September 13, 1927, we found ourselves ““dignified?”” Seniors, who were ready for hard work. Our class had decreased through the loss of Helen Royer, Elizabeth Lowrey, and Robert Musgrove, but had increased by the addition of Margaret Casey, Francis Downey, Tempy Trevy, Henry Amole, Homer Lackey. One of the first things we did as a class was to order our rings. They were very pretty, and everyone seemed to like them. The interesting events that happened during our Senior year were numerous. On December 7, we gave one of our Senior plays, “Seventeen.” This play was a great success and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The-next thing we knew after Christmas holidays we were taking examinations— and for quite a while, everyone was busy studying. No more movies, parties, etc, until after examinations, but everyone passed all right, and we started the second semester with more determination than ever. In March the high school gave a minstrel which was a roaring suc- cess—and after this was over the whole school was kept in suspense, waiting for the school inspectors to come, but when they did come, it wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be. In May we gave our second Senior play—‘Help Yourself.” This play was entirely different from any play that has been given by this school, but everyone enjoyed it very much. Then Commencement! Just think, our his school days are all over, but they have been happy ones, and we all ha to leave.

After having arranged our courses, we elected officers to transact business for the “voyageurs.” The officers are as follows: president, Edyth Taylor; vice-president, Edward Johnston; secretary, Virginia Hall; treasurer, Jane Mays. On September 24th we put in an order, with the Charles H. Elliott Company for our Junior pins which signify our high station in life. These pins arrived late in October, and when we first wore them, we felt as if even the sun must hide his face in shame, because the pins so excelled him, in brilliancy. On November 14th we gave a benefit picture at the Globe Theatre, “We're In The Navy Now,” and cleared the enormous amount of $1.60. On the twenty-third of December, we anchored our ship, with the other ships in the “Christmas Holiday Harbor,” with all expectations of having a wonderful time. On January 3rd we set sail anew for the New Year. In the latter part of the month, we began examinations. Our ship passed through this tempest of storm, and stress, with but few passengers lost. Soon, we began planning our Annual, which the ship, Senior asked us to take part in. In February, all the ‘“voyageurs” had their pictures taken, thus beginning our part in the Annual. In March we began the greatest piece of work done on the ship, Junior, the Junior play, “When A Feller Needs A Friend,” by J. C. McMullen. In April this play was produced with much success. May brought us passports from our Captain, for the ship, Senior. From that time on, we discarded our child-like deeds, and became very, very dignified.
