i 2 1 l iDEl.l'Il'IQ5Z X l i i The Class of 1923 Speaks -When life's cares shall have enthralled us, Out hearts will wander back To the day when that hell called us To the Orange and the Black. MORE than eight years after graduation the truth of the closing lmes of our Alma Mater song is more striking than could ever have been visualized in those dear old day sof high school. Indeed, it was fewer years than that when the urge to go back was engendering the alumni spirit in the class of '23. Each succeed' ing year had seen its members farther and farther apart and their interests becoming more diverse. All was not well in the hearts of those whose class spirit had previously been so significant. There was a keen realization that the vows of allegiance to the school and the promises of future interest were as nothing in themselves, only in keep' ing them would there be true allegiance, A brief Freshman Class report in the Bulletin of '20, when this same Class of '23 knew the firstfyear rank, ended this way: Taken as a whole, we have one of the greenest, smartest, best all'round Fresh' I-nan classes that ever entered D. H. S. So look out for '23 in the uture. ls there even slight wonder, then, that this class was to take the lead in having an annual reunion banquet? It was during the Christ' mas season of 1929, in Delaware, that the first one was held. Only one experiencing such a home coming with former classmates can know the joy it gave. Remember when-? Mingling with What now? spanned the few years' separation in a few hours. Not the least of the pleasures that this getftogether meeting afforded was the presence of five of our teachers who are still on the faculty of the high school: Mrs. Naylor, Mrs. Crist, Miss Williams, Miss Shults, and Mr. Preston. One hardluy need add that this reunion was not the last for this class. Furthermore, each of the two following years has meant the return of still other members not present the first time. It had been supposed that meetings of other classes too might follow. However, it seems that no other one has granted itself these privileges of renewed friendships, nevewtoofold reminiscences, and rekindled class spirit. A time there was when we might have desired to be thus unique in a class project. It is not so now. We have expressed the wish that the former spirit of every class which claims Delaware High School as its Alma Mater might in some way be refcreated. As a class expression of the lofyialty of which our high school is ever worthy, -Ersel Lahman, '23
