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

THE HASSAYAMPER W admit, grudgingly, that we are not the only class in the High School. As a matter of fact, there are others. But when one takes into consideration our phenomenal capabilities, our extraordinary intellectual attainments and especially our coruscant brilliancy, our superiority becomes so obvious as scarce to require further comment. Our scholastic perfection, acquired after long hours of study, appears especially remarkable in contrast with the stupidity and ignorance of the dolts who comprise the Freshman class. Those ubiquitous Freshmen! What a hebetudinous concatenation of vacuous puerility and asinine obtuseness! Now. to return to ourselves, the most interesting subject in High School ( Besides our aforementioned intellectual capabilities and capacities, we have social distinction: we are the unquestioned leaders of society (?). Recall our precedent-establishing cotillion! Was ever a terpsichorean exhibition more complete? Surely it will in the future remain the criterion of excellence. Yet why go into details concerning merits so generally recognized? Suffice it to say, in closing, that the eminence we occupy is so lofty and sublime that it will doubtless never be attained again. Generations to come, when they hear of us. will take off' their hats in awe. and say. with Shakespeare: This was a class.-- —R. F., 17. Page Twenty-Three
