Senior History) [ Tp | OUR years have passed since this class of ’19 first started I on its career in Racine High to reach the goal which it has now attained. 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.
