But here goes for Lilah, or “ Betsy ” for short, She was ever so ready to lead in all sport. If it weren’t for Oswald how would Betsy live ? Yet he does so much teasing she’ll always forgive. Let’s cheer for Valeska who’s example is best, As her behavior is ranked above all the rest. But let’s not slight Lorena who is pretty good too Yet she’s almost too quiet if we’re to be true. Those who are keeping us most in suspence Are Ruth and Leone before all great events; As they’re waiting for train time from morning till night. Suppose they should miss it “ It would be a fright.” Let’s look at Li 11 Hahn our Senior brunette, Who is ever determined and has her mind set To be up to some mischief when the teachers are gone, But it’s only too bad for they never stay long. Without Roland our annual would not be completed, Tho’ the boys are outnumbered, they’re left undefeated; Through Roland’s great effort they stand at the head. But we can’t be ungrateful, for we Seniors are led. A Senior, true Senior if dignity’s judge, Was Herbert whom all powers of school could not budge; In Mathematics, Physics, and Athletics too Herb was right there with the goods ever true. And last but not least as the saying goes Was Helen who’s qualities all the class knows; In what was she leader? A foolish question to ask - In all, it made little difference how great was the task. Good-by Freshmen, Sophmores, and Juniors and all, We hope that you often our names will recall, We are eagerly leaving and yet with regret. But just wait each and all of you, you’ll get there yet. —R. B. and H. B.

President Secretary Treasurer Class Officers Irene Knipschield Lilah Meyer Helen Boehmer Colors — White and Gold Flower — Lily of the Valley Motto — “ Dawn, Not Evening ” Class Poem Over paths and passes of mountain and vale, We joune.ved onward, like sheep in a gale; We journeyed together with patience and pride. And in fighting our battles we fought side by side. “ Fought ” is the name as the meetings imply, But on Irene’s controll we all could rely; For due to her effort we were led safely through, Being told by her the proper things to do. Among us was Amelia with her tresses of gold, Who is seeking for wisdom the same as of old. In plays German and English, to see her’s a treat, One of the best of our class and she can’t be beat. There were Edna and Lillian the inseparable chums, Who were ever seen pondering over their sums; As Edna was always so very sedate, Lill sure was quite tasty in choosing her mate. There was Christie our baby” and yet not the least, For she always had standings which could scarce be increased. She was never seen idle or gazing about, So t’was easy to judge her without any doubt. We must not forget Richard our Senior Athlete, Without him no doubt our team would get beat. He was ever so ready to join in a tease, He went with the Freshmen as nice as you please.

Senior Class History When the rainbow tinted leaves of golden September fluttered in the breeze of the momentous year of 1913, the famed and am- bitious class of 1917, as Freshmen entered the ranks of the grand S. C. H. S. We were given seats over near the black board, which we occupied with mingled pride and timidity. Then we drew' our books. They were not all new' and from their appearances we began to form opinions of the upper classmen. We were caled “ infants ”, and “ greenies ”, told that our class colors would not be difficult to choose. We were looked down upon I rom heights to w'hich we longed to climb, and were made sport of, by the upper classmen, all of which undaunted, we graciously bore. Soon, however, our timidity began to fade away and the school began to realize that the little f reshies knew' how to do things after all. first of all reports began to astonish those who scorn- fully looked down from above. They were doomed to worse than astonishment, for the excellent merits of the class of 1917 through- out its great career have won the praise and admiration of all. Very early in our career we attracted attention to our social ability for all the upper classmen pronounced us more than royal entertainers, after having spent St. Patricks’ evening w'ith us. Two parties, the praises of which never ceased, differentiated us lrom the other classes in our Sophomore year. We reached the climax of our social efficiency in our Junior year by establishing an annual banquet and Prom. The declamatory contest of our Freshmen year was the first of many noted entertainments w'hich won fame for us. During our Sophomore year we ventured to come before the public in our first dramatic program and since then our efforts along that line have become of the highest quality. We have taken prominent parts in class plays, German and English, and in school plays. Our history in athletics is short but good. One individual of
