Characters: ' 1. A former Reitz student now an old man with a flowing gray beard. 2. His Grandson, Billy, age 10. Place: San Francisco. A living room with the grandfather and the grandson before an electric heated fireplace. Grandfather: Yes, Billy, it has been fifty years since I graduated from High School. Those were the good old days. Billy: Oh, Grandfather, please tell me about the time you went to High School. Grandfather: All right, Billy, if you will be quiet I will tell you, for I remember it as though it were but yesterday. Billy: Please, Grandfather, if you will I'll be as still as a mouse. Grandf.: To begin, I went to a high school in Evansville, Indiana, Reitz High School, the high school on the hill, the best one in the world. I expect I was the rnost frightened and proudest Freshman in the school. I could never find the right classrooms and it took me until the end of my Freshman year to get really acquainted with everything. You see I had at' tended Reitz in the 7th and 8th grades, but high school somehow was different. During my Grade and Freshman year, Mr. Morley was prnicipal. It was during this year that we first played Central for football honors. Central was our worst enemy in this line of sport, she was the high school in the other part of town, This being our first year in football we were defeated by a very disgusting score. 104fO, but we only hoped to do better next year, which we did. The next year, or my Sophomore year, Mr. Morley left us and Mr. Bosse came to Reitz. This year was a much more pleasant one than the year before as I was not a green Freshy any more and was looked upon as though I were a part of the school. We organized that year. Our officers were Bernard Litherland, President: Gertrude Long, VicefPresident: Edgar Schaefer, Secretary: Jessie Mary Griffith, Treasurer and Frances Romig, Reporter. That year Central defeated us again, 46f0, but we staged a good comeback the next year. Billy: Grandfather, how long will it be before I get to go to High School? Grandf: Shut up, Billy, you disturb my thoughts. Billy: All right, Grandfather. Q Grandf: Yes, and in the year of 1924 I became a junior. Our class was considered the snappiest class in the school. We won practically all the prizes that were offered for different kinds of work and in the Good English Week Poster Contest, we had the best posters, ac' cording to the judges. Our officers this year were Edgar Schaefer, President: Gertrude Long, VicefPresidentg Delmar Hadley, Secretary, Richard Matz, Treasurer, and jean Stillwell, Re- porter. During this year we had many social activities, a party in the fall of the year, and then at the end of the year we entertained the Seniors with the best party they ever attended. A wonderful program was given, games were played and the best part they had iced refresh' ments. lf I only had those years to live over again! Page Twenty-four
