St lll0I' Illstorw Collar and Daniels First Year Latin We never would have known that it was a first year latm 1f Collar God bless nn hadnt told us That 1 standing for first must have been pro duced to about the Nth power Prom that h l ole first year latin we learned the etymology of words whatever that IS This was demonstrated when one of our members was asked for the dehnitlon of virgin Virgin he said comes from the l atm v1r meaning man and gm meaning trap hente vir nn man trap During that period of time in tl1e history of the world which hes between the time we ceased to be sophomores and when we began to be seniors we were Juniors We encountered solid geometry and found that while plane geometry was but a sup position a sort of bad dream solid geometry w is not romposcd of plane facts but plain fat ts Of course we had been awake all the time but the rest of the school woke up during this year The most notable event of the year was the publication of the Tuba The school made so much noise waking up that athletics woke up too. P. H. S. competed with St. Vincent in two football games and was re- presented at the track meet in the spring. Several social events were pulled off, the most novel being the Halloween Party. Not until this year did we elect class officers, when we elected Laura Kiesler, President. and Gilbert Hudson, Secretary and Treasurer. When in the course of human events it became necessary and expedient, we became seniorsMGlory, Glory, Hallelujah! God save the King' Meredith Vessells and Lee Bierk entered our class this year Kathleen Mattingly departed from It Laura Kiesler alone surviving Mr Snyder left us it the end of our Junior year but reminding us of the cat that came back Mr Snider taught this year He taught us Physics for one thing Physics is the study of matter and energy As soon as we looked at the book we knew something was the matter but the energy w is what got our goat But we learned right rapidly We learned while in the labor itory that it makes Snider loquations to pm signs on your fellow students back and that It makes your fellow student mad if sand is put 1n his pockets or if he is stuck with a pm that you may change heat to energy by sticking your finger in the fire and that the force of gravity mfiv be demonstr rted to a friend by dropping fx brick on his he id The seniors gave one entertainment and were present at sev eral others during the year The most enjoyable of these was a prix ate partv given by Laura Kiesler to the Senior Class At other times we were entertained by our home-made comedian Gyle Conrad 'md our home-made clown Leonhard Bergmann. School life has been pretty lively for us this year both in school and out. We have tried to make it as much so as pos- sible and we hope that senior classes of coming years shall have as good times as we have had. Of course, in a way, we are sorry to leave, but we will let that drop for the present, our tear-producers being confined to other parts of the book. E.

Senior Hlstory E admit it Having now outgrown the disgrace we admit it four years ago we were freshmen There were twen ty of us And then there was Algebra Agriculture English and Ancient History that made twenty four Those four stu dents we didnt like at all but it took us a year to persuade the faculty that they were undesirable members of the class for like all freshmen we re embled the cedar tree green both summer and winter Agriculture was the subiect of most interest to us for we ob tained the use of the laboratory And Breathes there a man with soul so dead that never to himself hath said Stop throwln that corn or Ill break your head? This is a reference to the Preliminary Europea 1 War carried on in the laboratory A laboratory is theoretically used for experiments but when it s turned over to freshmen it s liable to be both a battle field and a grave yard Once upon a time in this partitulai laborfi tory corn was furnished to be tested We understood that it was to be tested to find its efficiency for dumdum bullets so half the class became intrenched behind some benches and the other half being located on .1 ridge behind fortifications furnish- ed by several experiment tables the battle was begun. The light artillery kept up a constant volley of grains of corn the air being occasionally rent by the roar of cannons which hurled whole ears of corn high into the air. The battle would undoubtedly have continued forever without either side gaining the advantage had not neutral nations which were molested by stray bullets received re-enforcements from the faculty. This event taking place, the battle immediately ceased. This, and several similar events almost finished our freshmen year be fore it was begun but it is nevertheless characteristic of each day in the whole year And it came to pass that after we were freshmen we were sophomores We were twelve who once were twenty Part of us had been killed in the battle part of us had been persuaded by the faculty that it would not be to the interest of our future welfare to discontinue our freshmen year part of us had quit school thinking too much is enough and part of us still were part of us And we found that Snyder was one of us Twas in this manner by Heck At the beginning of the year we were introduced by Mr Reaves to our old friend Geo Metry Perhaps you ve met G ometry He s an awful contrary sort of a fellow he wont be lieve anything you say but looks wise and tells you to prove it And it came to pass that we were asked to prove that two straight lines parallel to the same straight line were parallel to each other Now the supposition that we didnt know this was preposterous. It was insulting. We expostulated that we knew it before we cut our first tooth. But this was unavailing and we were met with a most exasperating statement- Prove it. And it came to pass that Mr. Snyder came upon the scene. He explained. He demonstrated. Then he looked at us with one of those don't-you-wish-you-had-good-sense expressions on his face. At length we comprehended. Develop this cir- cumstance to the 365th power and the result will be our sopho- more year. But there is one other important consideration-we studied l11l1111l11111111.1111111111111.11.111 .11 11 1. .1.111' 1 1 1111111 1' 111 1 111.1 11111 .11 111 1 1. 1111.111111'111,,111 11111111111111111111111111111111u111111111.mnul11111111-11111..:l11u11ml1m11ml tIIulIIIllllllilllltlllullmlu eq o a , . . . . 1 . . . . - 1 . . 1 X -' U - ' 1 1 1 i i ' ' - ' 1 1 ' -' ' ' - - ' 1 ' ' . , . . . , - . 1 1 , S L 1 . 1 ' 1 . tt 1 . , - . . . . 4 - - . , K , . - 1 1 11 - - ' ' ' . . . . - 1 ' I . - - . . h .
