-A THE PROPHET SENIOR CLASS HISTORY llow much like a dream it seems, the four years that have elapsed since we entered the Prophetstown High School. The past four years have been spent in so much study and class work, that it is hard to realize that we are nearing the time to continue our education in a more advanced way or to earn a livelihood. We entered the Prophetstown High School in the fall of nineteen hundred and nineteen, green like all other I reshmen are. Nevertheless we were ready for business. The class was organized and we began our career as Freshmen. The main event of that year was the reception for the Sophomore class. A1 the beginning of our second year we considered ourselves what might be called full-fledged students of the High School and took up the work in a more studious way. The main event of that year was the initiating of the Freshman Class. The third year brought more work, but we mastered it in the best known way. The fifth of May an event took place, The junior Prom , something that l think we shall all remember, especially some of the many opinions that were passed by the Class being entertained, but we were of the strong sort and could bear it all. The Senior year brought many things to us that we were expected to do. The Annual, a subject that faced us squarely until we had finished the work to be done. The Senior Class Play, something that we must all take part in and do our best, is something we all look forward to as a success. We are and always will be greatly indebted to Professor Bates. who has been with us our past four years, devoting a great deal of time and energy in broadening our views on life and what real work means to a person. Good-bye, Old P. H. S. we leave you with much regret.
