SENIOR CLASS POEM “Rime of Class of 1920“ In the fall of 1916 Thirty Freshmen, young and fair. Filled old R. 11. S. with gladness. For a class like them was rare. We’ve stood high in all our classes. As High School we’ve journeyed through, W e have marked our time of passing With a mark entirely new. Many who began High with us Have dropped out along the way. Blit we’ve gained some fine new members W ho have honored us each day. Chuck and Larson sure are real stars, When at basketball they play. Cecil, George and Jay and Dennis All play football the right way. W’c are proud of all our athletes. As we well have cause to l e; For the honor of the High School. They have held a shining key. Xow as Seniors we are leaving. Dear old R. 11. S. behind; But I’m sure she’s made an image Of the right on all our minds. So farewell, dear Alma Mater. We must enter life this year. But we do not leave the memories Of the four bright years sj ent here. BESS IK BACON’

“SIGNALS REVERSED” Come on there! Get some pep! Wake up? Fifteen Kalis for Team! Everybody. Our cheer leader stood on a desk in the Hartford High School Assembly Room with the rest of us grouped around him. It was November 26, 1919. Next day was Thanksgiving and the championship of half the state was to be decided on the Hartford gridiron. Every one of those eighty high school students wore a tag which read: Heat Dansville November 27, 1919. So our yell leader was sure there would be a crowd there to cheer our team on to victory. Our team consisted of eleven huskies. Jack at center. Don and Frank tacklers. Ray and Les guards, and I.ill and Mike, ends. Those seven fellows made up our line, and no school team which they had met that season had broken it. Our back field was Laurie at quarter, Tubby and Jim halves and Gene full back. e had never seen Dansville play but it was reported that their team was much heavier than ours. Nevertheless we were so confident of victory that some of us had as high as five pounds of home-made candy bet on 1 lartford. Have you ever been to High School the day before a championship is decided? If not, you have missed half your life. I have been to school lx fore the championship in debating was decided, before basketball. lxith boys and girls, before baseball, before a track meet, and before football, but never did I see a school in such riot as Hartford was that morning. 1’aul our cheer leader was forced to do most of the cheering until he got mad enough to call us down, just before lie called for the final cheer for the team. Did we yell? You ought to ask Paul, lie was so surprised, he had us give them again to cheer him up. Dansville was at alxmt forty miles from Hartford and about seventy-five rooters journeyed over in autos to see that game.
