History of the Senior Class LORIOUS Seniors; let us all join hands in one happy throng and give thanks to those who made it possible tor us to venture forth from this great institution of learning, with a higher and broader education. The course of our four years of high school has been a period of hard work, but not without its success. The history of our class begins on the beautiful autumn morning of September 6, 1918. The very atmosphere of that wonderful morning seemed to herald the approach of a new and inspiring element in the Reedsburg High School. Few realized that among the students gathered that morning, there were boys and girls who were destined to form one of the greatest classes in the history of our high school. It has generally been conceded that freshman are inferior to the upper classmen. There may be a good basis to these claims, but surely, the Freshman Class of 1918 showed it's readiness to adopt the rules, regulations, and even the spirit of the institution of which they were now a part. Never did a beginning class show such enthusiasm and devotion in boosting their school. They were not backward in taking part in school activities. The members of the class seemed to assume the stately bearing of upper classmen, and, as a result, one found it very difficult to ditinguish between students as members of the various classes. With the close of the school year the greater part of the class succeeded in getting good grades, and, as a result, we find the class ready to enter upon its second year of high school life. The next great step, in the history of our class, was the sophomore year. This year, showed more than ever, the determined spirit of enthusiasm and patriotism to their school. The spirit seemed to manifest itself in all parts of their activities. Many members were already carrying the class banner in athletics, declamatory and oratorical work, musical organizations, and all other school activities. All this showed the determination to make this class successful. The fact, that Commencement, for us, was only three years away served as an incentive to work harder and give our utmost in aiding and boosting our school. Nowhere was the spirit lacking. When called upon to aid in any school affairs, the class was there as one, to devote its entire and never-tiring energy to make the projects successful. Success seems to have been constantly the guiding spirit of our class. The year of nineteen-twenty saw us as a great Junior Class. The members of our class showed the wonderful effects of two successful years of high school. At the annual loyalty banquet; they gave the Senior Class a very hard run for first place and the honors which go with that position. At the Junior Prom, which was an all around success, expense was cast aside, and the best of everything was had at this event. The whole prom was a result of the hard work and enthusiasm of the Juniors. It showed their desire to give the best possible time to their fellow seniors, and all others who were present. With Commencement next June, the Junior Class ascended the throne of Senior superiority and honor. The last, most vital, and perhaps the most successful year of our school life had now come. Gone but not forgotten, were those long years of struggle
