K History of the Class of '26 CHAPTER 1, VERsE 1-15. N the beginning, the year of our Lord 1922, the fifth day of the ninth month, the future class of '26 entered the great house of knowledge YP 2 l QVV. H. SJ in search of a greater store of the honey of wisdom. Some were quite fresh and green, not having ventured very far in the great sea of life. So it came to pass that a certain group of savages called Sophomores, because of their recent escape, took great pleasure in tormenting and preying upon their innocent CFD victims. And it came to pass that a certain sympathetic person, looking down upon their troubles with pity, spake unto them, Go gather yourselves into a group so that you may gain in strength and courage. And as he spoke, so was it done, and they choose Hazel Shafer, Frank Bartholic and 'Ruth Ellwood their lead- ers. And it thus came about, being so organized, that their eyes turned away from childish things toward the land of graduation. CHAPTER 2, VERSE 15-20. At the beginning of the next year the class of '26, remembering the recent days of torture, as the Sophomores had done unto them so they did unto the newcomers, with no mercy shown. The eventful year, with gallant VValter Till- man, John Martin, and ever-willing Ruth Ellwood to assume the responsibility, was very successful. The memorable Hallowe'en festival was hailed as a treat. CHAPTER 3, VERSE 20-28. In the beginning of the third era, Ruth Ellwood, Ruth Baxter and Mildred Lidtke were chosen to lead the tribe. For the first time in their high school career the class was called upon to exhibit their dramatic ability. It was admitted to be very good, as was illustrated in the play Nothing But the Truth. The Junior Hop, with some imaginative power, made one think he was in the Orient, for the decorations were highly japanese. Then came the planning of the royal feast in honor of the departing class. It furnished a very enjoyable time, as the dignified ones agreed. As the third era came to a close they took it upon themselves to elect certain people to assume the dignity of Editor and Business Manager, and it came about that Francis Bartholic and Mary Adair were chosen for the respective duties. Thus ended our third year. CHAPTER 4, VERSE 28-35. This, the last epoch of the class of '26, was a year of troubles and heavy burdens. And it came to pass that a faithful son, Curtis Bowbeer became Presi- dent, with the beloved daughters, Hilda Cashmore and Mildred Lidke as subor- dinates. In due season the Senior Hop was celebrated. Next in line came the Senior play, The Boomerang. Then, as the end of the journey was drawing near, the girls were busy sew- ing so that they might be arrayed in splendor on the eventful nights. Now it came to pass that several of the ones that had entered in '22 had dropped along the way. The old proverb still holds good, Broad is the way and wide is the gate that leadeth to the high school, and many enter therein. But narrow is the gate and hard is the path that leads to the land of graduation. F or many are called, but few are chosen. Thus the class of '26 ended its High School career. May the future classes follow our footsteps, improving where it is possible. And so farewell old Wyaiidotte High, The time has come to say good-bye! Teachers, schoolmates and friends so true, We bid you all adieu, adieu. B. A. R., '26. Tfllfljl-OIPC
