THE SYLLABUS Senior Class History HEN we, the Seniors, first entered High School as Freshman, we numbered about sixty-five. We were all very young, also very innocent of the dangers and pitfalls that were to beset us on our royal road to After many perplexities we elected Harry Darnell, President; Rosanna Vickery, Vice-President; Fred Robbins, Secretary; and Erith Powell, Treasurer. We did not make much noise that year but we did help to beautify the sombre old walls of the school building by buying a very handsome picture of our nation’s capitol at Washington. At the end of the school year our number had slightly decreased, but nevertheless we were still going strong. Next year found us Sophomores. We were nonentities no longer, instead we were a recognizable unit of this High School. Rosanna Vickery was elected President; Harriet Horney, Vice-President; and Cliffie Kercheval, Secretary-Treasurer. That winter we earned our present reputation as the “class that puts things over.” We responded nobly to the pleas of Mr. Kingsolver that we buy a number of much needed sweat jerseys for the basketball boys. Their usefulness was of short duration because they were stolen soon afterwards. Nearly all of the original class repoited again for duty the next year. Cliffie Kercheval was elected President; Harry Darnell, Vice-President; and Ruth McKinzie, Secretary-Treasurer. Then indeed did we verify our reputation as the “class that puts things over.” On January 21-22 we gave Tarkington’s play “Seventeen,” and if we do say so we think it “went over big.” With the money realized from this dramatic venture we gave the Seniors perhaps the finest banquet that has ever been given in the way of delicious food and pleasing appointments. We had now reached the place where we had the feeling that class jewelry was indispensable to persons enjoying such a dignified position as ourselves. Accordingly we selected a style most suited to our tastes anti our pocketbooks, proud indeed were we when we were able to wear them. Seniors! at last the goal for which we had worked and planned for four long years. But being a senior has its attendant sorrows. We were glad and fet sorry that our happy and carefree school days were so nearly over. All the old members weie back with the exception of Cliffie Kercheval who had moved to Indianapolis, and attended Shortridge High. Lester Kercheval was elected President; Fred Robbins, Vice-President; Martha White, Secretary; and Owen Richardson, Treasurer, to be succeeded by Harriett Horney upon his withdiawal from school at mid-term. As the end of our last semester in High School drew near we fully realized the truth in the old statement that all the work came at the last. With back credits to be made up; a class play to be given; graduation clothes to buy; and other things too numerous to mention to be done, we were a hustling, bustling bunch in those last two months. As our class play we gave “The Charm School,” and in our estimation it was a very creditable performance. At last it was all over. On April 25, we assembled in the M. E. chuich for our Baccalaureate Address, delivered by Rev. W. E. McPheeters; ar.d on April 30, were mustered out to face the world by ourselves. knowledge. (patre twenty-one)
