19 THE EQEVEIITMLE 1. Gllann Tgininrg N THE first of October, in the Year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen, forty-three children entered the stately portals of S. H. S. to assume the name of Freshman. We behaved in the usual way for about two weeks. One of our favorite stunts was getting lost and wandering over the building for hours at a time. However, taking example from the other classes, we had a class meeting and elected officers. No class meetings have been had up to this time for various reasons, but the other classes had better watch out, for as soon as the weather permits we are going to make up for lost time. The Freshmen boys organized a basket-ball team that bids fair to be a wonder in a few years. We spend most of our time studying, as all Freshmen should, so that next year we may assume among the classes the separate and equal station as Sopho- mores which the laws of the school entitle us.

I ne rata aavanmna 1 e l will HE Class of Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen ended its long career F.riday afternoon at three-thirty, after a lingering illness of four years. Upon entering the S. H. S., in the fall of 1914, the Class suffered a severe nervous breakdown, from which she never fully recovered. The following year she was afflicted with a constant swelling of the head and corrosion of the brain. which lasted throughout the school year. The heavy work and worry which the year of 1916 brought caused a slight decrease in strength, but early in the fall of 1917 the thought of becoming Seniors resulted in a slight improvement. This tendency toward recovery was only temporary, for, as the work became more difficult and Senior responsibility began to weigh heavily on the mind, the unfortunate suffered a severe setback. In this weakened condition the good news that she was to graduate proved too severe a shock, and she quietly passed away. Three younger sisters survive her. They are the Junior, Sophomore and Freshman classes of the S. H. S. Soon after the funeral the following will was found behind the clock: We, the Class of 1918 of the Scottsburg High School, being of sound mind, do hereby publish this our last Will and Testament, and hereby declare E. A. Gladden as executor of this said Will. The English class leaves a share of outside reading books and their seats in the assembly to the Class of '19, Frank McClain leaves his musical talent to Ab. Hartley. Leah Gladstine leaves her cute giggle to Bertha Horner. Max Clark leaves his basket-ball ability and big ears to George VVhitman. Alma Tash leaves her popularity with the Senior boys to Mary Howell. Lester Hobb bequeaths his ability to tell Hbig onesl' to Willard Hough. Earline Houghland has decided to leave her eating ability to Mabel Hester. Mabel Rice leaves her glasses to Harry McClellan. Mary Pinkston leaves her studious disposition to Ruth Rice. Addarena Williams leaves her pleasant ways to Alga Baker. Lennie Hughbands leaves her gracefulness to Alice Mitchell. Frank Jones leaves his stand-in with the faculty to Ralph Morris.
