In this space the Senior class, wishes in behalf of the School, to place itself upon record as showing a deep appreciation of one who came and strove so eagerly to become a part of old R. H. S., and thus to be a great untold of actor of guidance and influence during this our last and most important year at our school. We admired her scholarly and noble character, and loved her quiet yet big fountain of sympathy, which we were just beginning to receive some taste of, when the cold hand of death reluctantly claimed her. Yes, we admired and loved her, and sorrowed because of her untimely death, and our misfortune of being deprived of the companionship of an earnest and noble character.

The “days of grace” are nearly past, When we a debt of love must pay To those who sought to win at last Some bond of friendship for alway. If in these pages you may find Some thought that to your hearts renew The deeds of those you thought most kind, Then we have paid our debt to you.

Four years and every one seemed shorter than the preceding one. But during each one of these years, we were wishing to be in the position we now are and be prepared to go “Over the top.” When first this class, which now has sixteen in its ranks, started on its march to attain the victoiy, it had thirty-eight hope-fuPsouls; each one thinking of the end and wishing it to be nearer. But our ranks speedily diminished, for some who were not thoroughly versed in camouflage could not march in our ranks. But others who were exceedingly good in that mode of warfare, and could use camouflage without detection, soon used it to a good purpose and went “over the top” followed by rice and old shoes. These were the very lucky ones and they thought they were gaining a higher goal by marrying. But to those who have left without their own free will, we wish a happy return to Old Racine High and express our regrets because they cannot finish their high school course with the class which they have learned to love and honor. “Over the Top” is our motto: and for four years we have worked hard in order to accomplish this. And now with outwork completed we can do th;s with the highest honors. Scarlet and Black as our banner waving high above our heads and beckoning the rest to follow. Every perron has an object in life, and he tries hard to accomplish this aim against all odds. The object this class of nineteen has is net only to gain a record while going “over the top”, but with the greatest honors given to any class. Many are the ha’d hips which we have overcome while raising higher above the other - our banner and motto. Yet all the class have overcome these d’fficulties, wearing on their faces a grim smile, which they wear as a sign of confidence and assurance of going “over the top.” Our class flower is the Pansy. Great skill and knowledge was used when we chose thi; flower. The Pansy represents outclass and does it in the right way. For the Pansy is for thoughts and this class of nineteen are indeed thinkers. Since our course in Racine High School was begun, we were always thought of and always known as thinkers. Thus we chose our class flower the Pansy. But still we clo not think we have really finished. But instead we have only begun. Some of us have not yet thoroughly decided what is out next stopping place, and what goal yet beyond this one we shall endeavor to gain. Others see before them a road, which is so smooth and untraveled that it seems only a dream. Yet some are prepared for a rough road which they will undoubtedly accomplish as they did the difficulties during' their high school course. This class of nin°t'3en is one of the many classes that need no histoiy to relate its many merits and few faults when going “over the top.” It is really a history itself for if one studies the career of this class thoroughly, not only its past, but its future undertakings, one will surely see that each and every one of the then divided class will not rest at the first victory which he attains ; but will go on as he did in Racine High. I said divided— indeed, it will be divided as far as distance is concerned. But it will not be divided if once it will ever get together, and talk of high school days. Each one will tell some particular part until our high school days, which will be then slipping by in our minds, will return in full remembrance and will be so fixed that these days shall never be forgotten.

Four years we’ve spent in Racine High, With friends we loved so well; Now comes the time to say good-by And try our fears to quell. Our many joys that we have known We have to leave behind; The kindnesses that we were shown We shall forever keep in mind. Chorus. Our High School course we’ll keep in mind Over the Top we’ll keep at heart Old dear nineteen we’ll leave behind Since we have finished from the start. Old Racine High shall have her honors For dear old nineteen will be praised, When the Scarlet and Black shall be raised When we’re with you again, And we our school defend. Over the Top for old nineteen. 2. We now are ready to depart, And though we try so hard To banish fears out of our heart, We cannot say “Farewell.” When autumn calls we’ll meet no more In dear old Racine High; Over the Top we’ll think of you, As fleeting time goes passing by. Chorus. 3. We may have cares in years to come And fate may have her way But still we’ll think of friendship won Back in our dear school days. Over the Top we’ll still be true, Sca' let and Black, the same; And we will gladly call to mind The source from which our joys all came. Belinda Wolf. Theodore Beegle. Seniors ’19. 25 Class Poem Classmates, let us gather closer In our homey bower to-day; Ere to life’s devious paths departing Each one in his chosen way. When we came we met as strangers Each one shy of all the rest; Now we drift apart as comrades Each to every one is blest. Four long years we’ve trudged together, Onward, upward, was our aim; Struggled nobly to the summit Until over the top we came. Troubles found we, yes, and many Brought before us every day; But the joyous bliss and gladness Drove the sorrows all away. Past with memories sweetly ling’ring; Present, hope, success, and youth; Future, filled with hopeful yearning, Beautiful as books of truth. Wide the gates of fame are open Calling each in some bright way; Gently calling, yet with firmness On this glad commencement day. 26 ’Tis the beginning not the ending, For in life we’ve just begun; And our thoughts are ever turning On the race with life we’ll ran. Wide and long the way before us, Many are the trials unseen; But our aim is upward ever We the class of old nineteen. —Mary Reiber. ___________________________ •_________az___ .

When, after a weary climb we find our-selves on the summit of a lofty mountain, and look back from that commanding altitude over the ground we have traveled, what is it that we behold? The minor details of the sceneiy, many of which seemed large and important to us as we passed, are now lost to view, and we see only the great features of the landscape, the elevations, and the deep and winding streams. It is the same when at the summit of our Hi h School career, we gaze back over the preceding year The myriad of petty happenings are lost to sight, and we see only the striking events and the cri-es through which our class has parsed. The Juniors came into existence as Freshmen in thn fall of 1916. We, of course, were shy and timid. The upper clas men instead of taking us under their protective wing, seemed determined to discourage us more and more. The first week we confess we all felt like running home to mother—but when our teachers sounded our supply of knowledge and tested our intellectual ability, they pleaded with us to remain with them. Gradually we came out of our sh ll of reserve, and looked the whole world in the face—we feared no one, not even the haughty Seniors. This year we devoted ourselves to studies, not accomplishing much in athletics. I We began our Sophomore year in a much grander style than we did our Freshman year. Now, we are self-possessed, we are sure of ourselves. We entered the building not with fear and trembling nor did we throw frightened glances here and there; but with a firm elastic tread we entered the building and marched knowingly to our clasc rooms. Not once did we hesitate. We had left a few of the wayward ones behind, but we who had pushed on lived up to our former reputation and crowned ourselves with glory. Ah! ’tis great o be a Junior. Can Senior life be richer and fuller than this? We have lived this year. Our nopularity and ability have been more than established. Early in our Junior career we hearkened unto the all of Athletics. Glorious success has crowned our efforts. The high school basket ball teams—both boys and girls are composed largely of Juniors. Is not this evident proof of our superiority in basket ball? We shine in all other athletics popular in our High School. Great and wonderful _______________I have been our successes this year. We feel that the summit will be reached when we pass into the place made vacant by the clas of ’19. The Juniors are numerically superior to any class which has ever entered our Temple of Learning, and next year we expect to have the honor of having the largest class ever going out from our High School. “Onward to the highest summit The stalwart Saxon daring That steadily steps on Unswerving and unsparing Until the goal be won.’’ —Ben Spencer 34 Junior Pla;9 “Seeking a Servant” Cast of Characters.

We each came from different directions seeking something which could only be found in Racine High School. So here we settled down, almost everyone a stranger to the other. We were timid and bashful at first and were taunted and jeered at by the other classes. But we remembered that we did not come to R. H. S. to get discouraged but to learn. So with this in mind we made a good start and were striving to reach our goal far ahead of us. We became very much interested in our books and really found it a pleasure, as well as a duty to prepare our lessons. Our class, although we are very quiet, has much talent especially in dramatics. This was first shown by our participation in the dramas given by other classes. This aroused us to the fact that we had talent and it is now constantly in use. We regret very much to have lost a few of our classmates the first year, but we were just as large in number the second year, owing to the fact that new ones came in. This year we have been deprived of our customary rhetori-cals and dramas, on account of the loss of so much work and time during the influenza. But nevertheless our dramatic interests were kept alive by cosntant practice in various debates and lengthy dialogues. As a class, we took little interest in athletics, but we were willing to support any of the other classes in their athletic undertakings. Now as our second year is about to come to a close, let us each remember that our future success depends upon ourselves and not upon others. Kathryn Wilcoxan. R. H.

And it came to pass on the ninth day of September, nineteen hundred and eighteen, that the Freshman class entered Racine High School. 2. Now, therefore, we are no more as strangers but a band of three and twenty souls. 3. After entering the R. H. S. we were all frightened and said one unto another. Whither shall we go and what shall we do? 4. Nevertheless we found our way to our class rooms. CHAPTER II. 1. At this time certain other classmen began to jeer us saying, “Are not these little in our sight?” 2. But others said, “Let us regard them as our brethren.” 3. And it came to pass that the class prospered having immediately set to work in the way pointed out unto them. CHAPTER III. 1. And the rumor of our wide-awake spirit began to be spread abroad; both boys and girls having engaged in the hard struggle for high honors in athletics. 2. And the final exam drew near when we said one unto another, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no credits dishonorably. 3. For lo! it shall come to pass that each shall be graded according to his own merits, for that we are strong in mind; not one faileth. 4. Thus endeth the history of the Freshman class.

As we look back over the basketball season of 1918-1919 we can justly have a feeling of pride, though not of entire satisfaction, over the results. True there was at first some gloom in our minds as we realized that Rose, Reed and Thomas had all been lost from last year’s team through graduation. But there were still a few second strting men from last year who were ready to step into regular berths, few string men from last year who were ready to step into regular berths, so it was so it was with these Coach Fair started to mold the team that was to make a record for the season. Basketball in our school with floor practice is quite a new affair as heretofore we had only ground practice. In 1917 we became members of the S. E. Associatiton and have since paid our dues. Our coach encouraged us and after a few practices we. too. began to pick up in spirit as we saw that there was a real team in the making and soon we were playing some of the best teams in our district In several off our games we were unfortunate, yet energy and enthusiasm increased; we again were unfortunate as our school was closed for several weeks on account of influenza, during which time our practice ceased. A great shock to the team and the entire school was suffered on our return when Waid Roberts was unable to be longer a member of the team on account of sickness. Individual stars were few as all fellows were playing fine games. We were playing as a team not as individuals. For next year’s team there still will be left some of our best players. We must not forget that there is one man—Coach Fair—to whom too much credit cannot be given He is a fine pxample of the highest type of manhood and has left his influence upon all of us who have been fortunate to be connected with him, whether in basketball room or in his classes, in a way which we can not forget. Girls’ Basketball. Late in January of this year the girls of the various classes of the High School expressed their desire to organize a Girls’ Basketball team. Heretofore, little attention had been given to athletics by the girls with the exceptions of a few' games of tennis and quite a few of Volley Ball. They seemed very much interested and organized their team with Coell Jividen as captain. They were very much inexperienced but ready to learn any point that might help them in their career. They began their practice under Coach Fair who endeavored in every way that he could to help them on to success. They have as yet made l.ut one encounter with any team except the home players. They played a clear, strong game against the Wilkesville team on February 28th of this year. [Although losing the game in a score of 6:13, this being their first game with only one month’s practice .against an experienced team, we consider this a very good record for beginners. We contemplate a very brilliant future for our Girls’ Team. They are carefully studying the S. E. Association rules and relying upon the ability of their coach, Mr. Fair, and their firm and strong determination to do. They expect to have the greater part of their regular team for next year, ns they are losing but one from the team by graduation. ‘‘Young are we in our career All our games to us are dear; Here’s our future just begun We are bound to make things hum.” f t cHE?rs, hi h SCHOOL Nec ) UA RI € TY NONe to old or ooRo7-eflre r • 5!

Two boys walking with the same girl are equal or come plimentary.
