CLASS HISTORY. At present our Senior class numbers twelve, eight girls and four boys. We were expecting to graduate with a baker's dozen but when Berenice Wynn decided she would rather be Mrs. Elfred we were doomed to disap- pointment. Only two of this twelve started school here in the first grade: Helen Baysinger and Selma Hammer. In the third grade two new ones were added, these being Mattie Freeman and Harry Zieseniss, Then we traveled along until we caught up with Eric Schuman in number five. Eric says he lost one year on account of his eyes, but we are inclined to think that he knew a good thing when he saw it: our class. Grade seven brought another member: Effie Porter, who was gone the next year, but joined us again in our Freshman year. Mary Adams and Robert Stassen came into the class in the eighth grade. We all remember this year with pride. With Miss Niles as teacher, We accomplished great things. We still like to think about the Eighth Grade Weekly and the feast we had. In the Freshman year Earl Baumgardner and Minerva Allison were added to our list and in the Sophomore year Eva Northern. During the next year no new additions were made, and only one this year: Madge Lenox. If any members of this class should meet after a few years, they would soon be talking about the good times we had in the old Rolla High. You remember how we used to turn the clock ahead when Professor Yelton was called to the telephone, and how some one broke into the building and put all our books in a pile in the front of the room? And those good old feasts we used to have in the old laboratory, and how we took our eats in thru the window so as not to let the teachers know what was in store for the next period: oh but weren't those the good old times? During the Sophomore year the German Class organized and called themselves Die Deutsche Genossenschaftf' Many joyful and instructive evenings were spent together. In athletics we helped a great deal. Last year the captains of both the girls' and boys' basket ball teams were selected from our class. Many more things could be said, but to sum it all up, the 1916 Senior Class is without doubt, the best that has gone out from the new Rolla High School. Altho we lack some in quantity compared with other classes, we do not lack in quality. Any Senior will vouch for that. Harry Zieseniss, '16.
