Class History Tin class of 1926 broadcasting through Station R. H.

And as a grand finish in the eighth grade we had a Slouch Day which worked successfully for three hours. All this had been performed to give us training for our high school days. Freshmen at last; but if we were green in that first year of our high school career we never realized it. The year was very much of a success if we would judge by the number of contestants we placed in the various school activities. In this year eleven more of the present class joined our group. Our second year in high school was uneventful except for geometry and a half day Sneak Day. The latter was made up on our return home, the former was made up the former year.

Our last year in high school brought frolic and seriousness and now today when our senior sneak day. class play and high school days are gone and we stand on the threshold of “Life’s School”, we hope wholeheartedly that it will be as kind to us as “School Life” in our old high school.
