THE HASSAYAMPER Class History Four short years ago, at the opening of the school term, our army of “sprouts” assembled, in talkative yet furtive, awestruck groups, anticipating the worst, and keeping as close together as possible, ascended the steps of the historic old High School building. Under the scornful scrutiny of the upper classes we were duly enrolled, and began our brief career as High School students. Very sotin, however, we became fully acclimated and be- gan to consider ourselves a very important part of the institution. Not wholly without cause, either, since we, fifty in number, constituted over half of it. We organized and elected the following as officers: Jack Miller. President; Helen Riebling, Vice-President, and Mary King, Secretary and Treasurer. At the end of each period we held a meeting and dance to ex- pose the ease-loving and to praise the industrious. Of the last mentioned class we had many eminent examples. These affairs were always entirely successful and consequently riotous, although we had to strongly guard our eats on account of the unscrupulousness of the upper classes. An un- successful “hazing” campaign was waged against us; only three unfortu- nate victims had their bonny locks clipped. This year we were represented on the football field but not in dramatics, except in the school operetta, in which we formed the bulk of the chorus. However, in our public speaking exercises we gave promise of future dramatists. The curtain lifts on us again as Sophomores. Only twenty-eight of our original number responded to the initial roll call. Nevertheless, what we had lost in numbers we had regained in dignity, seriousness and loyalty to our cause, graduation. For officers this year we elected “Brick Thomp- son. a recent addition to the class, President: Muriel I ucker Vice-Pres- ident, and Jennie Healy, Secretary and 1 reasurer. I his year we took a more prominent part in school affairs: we were ably represented on the gridiron and in basketball: we furnished several principals for the operetta. Throughout this year we continued our custom of period meetings, besides which we had many other functions, such as picnics and dances. We advanced rapidly in every line during our Sophomore year, and the pros- perous issue of this advance was our remarkable Junior year. The opening of the 1915 school year found twenty-six of our faithful crew on board our ship, bound for graduation, and ready for duty. M c elected the following as officers: Mason Paine. President: Melita Meade, Vice-President, and Margaret McGrew, Secretary and Treasurer. This year Page Twenty-Nine
