It was very hard 'at first for us to fall into the routine of high school life on account of our ignorance -oh, no, not in our own estimation, but according to the upperclassinen. We passed through the hair-cutting period and into the auto-riding period Without any very serious mishapsg and by the end of the Freshman year we were thoroughly versed in the ways of high school life. The Sophomore year was one of great pleasure, because we were in a position to avenge ourselves for the mistreatment of the year before by continually annoying the Freshmen. We developed wonderfully during thistimeg several of our boys made a good showing in athletics, and we began to take a prominent part in school activities. 'VVe, at least, thought we were sufficiently advanced to become Juniors. This is the year of our school career to which we can look back saying that it was successful in every respect. We determined to make the Junior-Senior Reception an event to be remembered and, therefore, we worked to that end from the first day of school. We were rewarded for our efforts by the success of the prom. in every way, including the financial side. The success of the prom. was brought about largely by the efforts of our able president. Our last year in school passed very quickly, but during this time we were able to do much for the honor of the school. The members of our class were always willing to extend their best effort and to co-operate with faculty and fellow students in uphold- ing the highest ideals of the school established by the students of former years. -cHARLEs WALING, 25. e1 9 2 5- 4- - Page twenty-three
