THE HASSAYAMPER most successful in our High School history; we are proud to have had out- class ably represented by three members. Four of our members had leading parts in “Bulbul.” the school operetta, which created such a sensation among the theater-goers of Prescott. This year we took it upon ourselves to intro- duce the art of haircutting, and with the aid of several Seniors we trimmed the “verdant” Freshmen, and to this day the flowing locks of several of the unfortunate victims are relics in our possession. The after-effects, or better to say. consequences, were, although exciting for a time, all to the best. Soon afterward the school establishing a ruling—Absolutely no “Koughneckism.” Nineteen hundred and thirteen rolled around, and we began our illus- trious career as “Jolly Juniors.” Fate was against us. so we started out with only twelve loyal members. The fact that we had such a small class led us to adopt our motto—“Qualis non Quantus” (Quality not Quantity), and we began to live up to it by striving for quality. Whether we have succeeded so far. we leave you to judge. Again you find us duly represented in athletics, both in football and basketball, our boys easily winning the championship games in basketball. ’Twas this year we put on the Junior play, “Cupid at Vassar,” which set a high standard in dramatics for the future classes. At the close of the school year we gave the Junior hop in honor of the class of ’14. The old High School building was being torn down, so the hop was given at the Odd Fellows’ Hall. The evening of June 5th will long be remembered, for. with pleasant surroundings, good music and lovely decorations—how could any one help from having a good time? Now we are Seniors. Our career this year is one of which we are proud. In dramatics we are again prominent, for four of our seven class members were principals in the operetta. “The Nautical Knot,” and with the Senior play, The Admirable Crichton,” we will produce one of the heaviest plays yet attempted by any former classes. In athletics three of our four boys have won honors on the football field. With this publication of The Hassayamper, we will place before you an Annual which will be as good, if not superior, to any publication yet attempted by the High School. We have enjoyed this year immensely, and unmindful of the crowded conditions in the Manual Arts Building, which the larger classes have to cope with, we have had several very enjoyable parties. By the time The Has- sayamper is published, we will have given a dance to the present Junior class, the first dance given in tin- new High School building. In order to add beauty to the outside of the school building, we are the first class to plant a tree or vine on the grounds. We wish that the future Senior classes would follow our precedent, and in the future years we hope that interweaving of the various vines will be thought of as a symbol of our interwoven friendship. Tis with a feeling of regret that we leave the new building without first enjoying its many conveniences; ’tis with regret that we leave our teachers, who have won our everlasting friendship; and lastly, ’tis with regret that we leave good old P. H. S.: but duty calls us onward, for in order to reach out- goal, “SUCCESS,” we must be “up and ever doing. and with best wishes to the future classes of Prescott High School, we, the Class of ’15, bid vou all “farewell.” Page Nineteen

THE H ASSAYAMPER The Class of '16 has a record to be envied. I | on our entrance to the Prescott High School, we were welcomed as the largest class that ever assem- bled, with pale faces and trembling limbs, to have our first glimpse of High School life. Since that memorable event our knowledge and sophistication have steadily increased, until we have reached our present advanced state of culture. Our A and B lists have always been lengthy, and our representation in athletics very fair. In dramatics and society we acknowledge no superiors. Our advancement has been neither meteoric nor slow, but sure and steady, and we feel confident in predicting for nineteen sixteen a Senior class which shall uphold the honor and fame of P. II. S. as high as it has ever been. Worthy Seniors, your graduation marks the passing of a class whose accomplishments may well be called remarkable. We are justly proud of you. who. with a class of only seven members, have won an honored place among the classes who have gone before. Jim Smith. '16. Page Twenty-One
