And who shall say ours is not an illus- trious line of heroes? Yet it would be strange if the charge of boasting were made, when we announce that the present Senior Class has outstripped its predecessors, in numbers, and in variety and brilliancy of achievement. In many ways the Class of '17 is unique. In the first place, although it has often been asserted of themselves by the other classes, we feel that we are the only class, in our time at least, in which absolute harmony has prevailed throughout the entire school life. There has been an entire ab- sence of disgraceful quarrels and all other things which mar the usefulness and ability of a class. This condition has enabled us to associate upon the terms of the greatest good-will and fellowship. Our class parties, wienie roasts, and moon-light picnics have been among the most memorable and delightful features of our high school life. A spirit of mutual helpfulness prevails among us, and this, together with the feeling of equality, has al- ways been present in our class. We are unique again in the line of athletic achievements, first in winning the series of Inter-Class Basketball for girls in both 1915 and 1916. The boys of the Class of '17 who have made the school football and track teams during our four years in high school, have given us a record which we challenge all our competitors to equal. In debate we have several times made Pratt High school famous, this year, of the two debating teams that won the Seventh District Cham- pionship, half of the members belonged to the Senior Class. In Reading and Oratory both, members of the Class of '17 have several times been chosen to represent Pratt High School in various contests. In some respects we wish we were at the foot of the ladder instead of at the top. True, we are at the foot of one ladder, for we have college and life before us. But now that we are almost through, we feel that we have learned only enough to be able to enjoy a second trip through High School, we have merely reconnoitered the territory, like those spies of Bible Stories, who viewed the promised land, but made no permanent conquest. Perhaps our successors may carry to fruition our vain dreams of What might have been. HELEN ROLL. ,f ,. ,i.i.x7.,, ,- ET, it 'i ' f1f Z.lI'I '. U J. -,, ,
