.a.simfwmMf--- CL SS HI TURY Now the history of the class of 1 and 50 of the high school of Smithville is in this wise: In the beginning, in the 7 and 40th year of our Lord, there entered into the Land of Learn- ing 6 and 50 seekers of knowledge. Some came up from the eighth grade, where they had been busily engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom, and some were from other halls of instruction. Now it so happened that this land to which they had come was ruled over by one, Forest Dale Burkholder, a professor of much wisdom, and at the beginning of the first year, he spoke unto them saying: Go gather ye in a body, and organize yourselves into a class, that ye may gain in strength, and that your courage may wax hot! And as he spoke unto them, so it was done, and they chose their wisest ones to be their lead- ers. President, Tom Burkholderg Vice President, Bob Ebyg Secretary, Alice Schrockg Treasurer, Irene Zimmerly, Student Council, Marilyn Mur- ray and Bill Miller, Reporter, Joann Beaversonq Sergeant of Arms, Ralph Saurers. And it came to pass that they were received with malicious glee in this land by a certain band of wild beings who were called Sopho- mores, and who because of their fierce taste for freshman blood, did pounce upon them daily and nightly, and did cause them to suffer great things, and to say in their hearts: Behold, blessed be the name of education, for because of it we have endured great torments, both of the body and the mind. Verily have we been martyrs to its great and noble cause. CHAPTER II Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year that a band of youths did come up from the lower land, in the new dignity of their promotion, remembered the day of their own greenness and as the Sophomores of their days had done unto them even so did they do unto these Freshmen, and did show no mercy unto their sufferings, and no heed unto their lament- ations until all were bruised and full of much sorrow. And there came up a cry for new leaders before they would journey farther into this land. Chosen from among the tribe were leaders of great strength and courage: President, Tom Burkholderg Vice President, Alice Schrockg Sec- retary, Irene Zimmerlyg Treasurer, Phyllis Ramseyerg Student Council, Marilyn Murray and Danny Burkeyg Reporter, Ruth Zookg Sergeant of Arms, Bill Bland. And it came to pass that their apparell be- came tattered and torn. And it was said that they should be covered with a bright and beautiful garment of maroon and white. As the laborious year came to an end and their minds were overflowing with much know- ledge and wisdom from the instructors, they decided it necessary for a rest so as to be fully prepared for their journey into the next higher land. CHAPTER III And the time came that they should once again be gathered together so as to prepare for their onward journey. Again they chose leaders of high standing. President, Alice Schrockg Vice President, Bob Ebyg Secretary, Pat Dietrickg Treasurer, Phyl Ramseyerg Student Council, Tom Burkholder and Lois Conradg Reporter, Ruth Zookg Sergeant of Arms, Bill Bland, Social Chair- men, Danny Berkey and Irene Zimmerly. Now it came to pass as their pride grew to a great bigness within them, that the class began to wish for golden rings to decorate their hands, and many messages were sent to the big cities and all the towns around for samples of their fine jewelry, and at last alter much considering and reconsidering, the class professed itself to be satisfied with its choice, and rings were pur- chased with which they rested well content. And, behold, it did likewise come to pass, at about this same time, that the class did aspire to dramatic honors, and did present to the people a great and wonderful play, wherein each should act what he was notg and they did choose as a sacrifice, Double Exposure, directed by Miss Porter. And lo! again the awful deed was done: and the multitude did cry out in their hearts, Heaven forgive them for they know not what they do!l' and with their lips, How grand and wonderful this thing which ye have done! and the heads of the class did become swelled to their fullest capacity at the praise they did receive. Now it came to pass that they were each and all seized with a strange infirmity, which did cause them to act with much fierceness and strangeness of manner, and to grapple and wrestle with their fellowmen in much rage and twenty-one
