ll'llllllllllllllllillllH Class History of Class of 1918. Nina G. Hammer. I was sitting by the fireside. It was a cold night and the warmth of the l right fire made me think of our first three years in Pekin High. I tried to study my Cicero but suddenly my book fell and I sat watching and looking into the.fire. I saw us as we were Freshmen. Our vain attempts at trying 10 be like our sisters and brothers—the upper classmen. I saw us at the 1 ome of Warren Soldwedel and the fine time we had coming and going there on that hay rack. Then I remember June for exams, and then our Sophomore year with Mr. Coons. T he fire leaped up brighter as I saw each one around the big bonfire out at the Aydelott bungalow and then as we looked when at the Masque party at Margaret Sherman's home. The fire died down for awhile, but suddenly out danced twenty-one dollar pieces of silver, our net profit from Borrowing Trouble.” I saw Cornelia as Mrs. Borrow and George Him-raelheber as Mr. Borrow and Henrietta De Silva as Miss Borrow. Then Arthur Masterson, the detective, and Wayne Campbell, the doctor, with Monetta Riley, as landlady, step out and go back. Then last of all, Lylse Burns as the maid, and myself as Mehitable March, advanced and retreated. This no sooner faded from my sight than I was again on that hayrack going to Grove Siding, where we had the most delightful time imaginable around that big camp. The fire made one more flash and I saw us as as we were in Room F on the last day of school of our Sophomore year. The next the fire brought forth was our Junior year in the New High School. Our party and our work. I looked closer into the fire and saw in the distance fame coming toward the goal where was marked the Junior Class Play and Junior-Senior Banquet. Then all was dark. In vain I looked for something showing our Senior year. The future was still far away. Suddenly a voice called me. “Still studying Cicero? Come on to bed. It is late and cold here.” ' Looking around me 1 saw I had been asleep, and picking up Cicero, I left the fireside. Officers.
