THE SYLLABUS ♦ -»--------------------------------- (Elass J3nrm Conquering now, and still to conquer Obstacles that block our way. To prepare for future battles We must win the ones today. May our eyes turn ever upward To the height of our desire. May we never turn them backward Never quench the inner fire. May we ever fight our battles With the zest we do today. May each year come around to find us Farther on the winning way. Every battle lost, if gamely, Is in truth a battle won; May we say, “We’ve done our noblest,” At each setting of the sun. May we through life stand steadfastly, Battle on, though bruised and sore, Ever strive to live up to the ideals Of our class, and more. 22

THE SYLLABUS History nf nttnr (ElaHH In September of 1923, we the Seniors of ’27 surely were no exception to the rule, as green as you get them and with a plentiful supply of pep. As guides on this first break into High school, Elizabeth Amick became our president, Kenneth Pettijohn, vice-president, and Helen Newby, secretary and treasurer. All went well this first year, we published a Frosh. copy of The Black and White, something unusual for beginners. Miss Teter was our capable sponsor. This first year passed and we found ourselves Sophomores. Our Freshman class of 55 had diminished greatly, but this did not keep our heads from swelling, we were just like the general run of Sophs, they “see all and know all.” This year we had for president, Kenneth Pettijohn; vice-president, Eva Compton; secretary and treasurer, Helen Griffin; with Miss Teter as our sponsor again. As Juniors the next year, we established a reputation of making nothing go over, we became a sort of black sheep of the high school. We attempted more and failed more than any other class in school. However under the leadership of Edward King, as president; Edith Eytcheson, vice-president; Elizabeth Stephenson, secretary; and Gladys Reddick, treasurer, we spent, if not a prosperous, a happy year. At the last moment, as usual, we put on a banquet for the Seniors, that was very successful. Then came the last year, for the last time lots were drawn and Dale Hinesley, became our president; and Gladys Reddick, vice-president; Elizabeth Stephenson, secretary; and Edith Eytcheson treasurer. Now, we tried to do things suitable to our dignified position. Our play and our annual were both successful. Rather reluctantly we saw the year pass by, in which w'e must leave the school forever as students. With joy and regret about equal at the prospect of graduation we shall yet cherish the memory of these four years. 21
