Flower Shasta Daisy Colors Gold and White SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The development of our wonderful class may be traced down through the ages of our High School career just as any important movement is traced. We find that four years ago we were suddenly dropped from our airship of dreams, down into the very center of a circle. We were indeed the center of attraction for the first few days, but the upper classmen soon learned that we were a class of undaunted spirits and their eyes slowly began to turn to the arc of this circle wherein they too had been dropped. After examining all objects within our reach ithis being characteristic of all Fishi we also began searching for a view of the circle wherein we had been so suddenly dropped. We had glimpses of the are now and then, but found it too many years ahead of us to be able to see beyond it into the dim future. Before long we had gathered so much knowledge that our heads would have burst for lack of room had we not become Sophomores just when we did. We then moved out of the circle and come a year closer to that goal which we now realize lay just outside the arc. During this year we initiated the little Fteshies into the center of the circle with good will toward everything, especially the belt line. We gave them advice fluent- ly and frequently and saved them from many pit falls laid by the Juniors and Seniors. After a year of diligent toil we became Juniors. Ah! now we were looked up to by little Freshmen and Sophomores as upper classmen. What we didn't accomplish this year is hardly worth mentioning. Didn't we learn a whole book of American Literature by heart? Didn't we master an entire book of Geometry, weren't we original enough to write a Short Story, as a climax didn't we hear lecture upon lecture until we were prepared to carry out the role of dignified Seniors long before the chance was given to us? The only explanation of this startling wisdom on our part was the fact that we were members of the Junior Class of ,23. Even the exceptional class of i241 finds it hard to remember dates in history, but we shall always remember the great day September 1'7, 1923, when we prepared. to ttravel the last stretch on that foot worn path to the arc of the circle. After passing the Quiz on Les Miserables , learning the scientific method of extracting diverse chem- icals, writing and rewriting our graduating essay we at last find ourselves at the very brink of that circle wherein we have lived for four years. Looking out into the great gulf of the future, we see the island of fame dimly outlined on the horizon of time. With the aid of our diplomas from ole P. A. H. S. we each intend to push out into the gulf of the future toward this island. In the classes that have gone before and those that are yet to come members have dropped by the wayside and will continue to do so but the members of the great class of 24 will each pull upon the shores of fame where not only the Freshmen, So homores and Juniors will look up to us, but where the whole world will strain its eyes In order to get a glimpse.
