Way back in nineteen hundred twenty four, he said A number of students entered with dread The building called, School and they began A course that would lead them to Famous Land . As freshmen they proved that they had skill W In shooting paperwads and carving-until Mr. Harvey said, Now then, people you must learn To be dignified and to your Algebra turn. As sophmores, Oh! with a proud heart They looked down at the freshies being kept apart. 'Tis true their number was slightly smaller But then that was no reason why they should falter They were juniors at last with cares and woes For time had flown by as time will go. They were seniors, in all the pomp and scene Some half wishing they were still freshies green. Then they were separated before many a day And each single person went his own way. Each stiving to carry out as best he could That simple rule, You Must Make Good. A general of the army, a confectioner A doctor and a lawyer-and a lecturer A member of Sousa's band, a missionary true, The girls-Oh! many of them are famous too. The elf stopped'talking and I Wanted to ask him why- And where -but he had disappeared It was a dream, as I had feared. .

One of the first problems we had to face was: should we take Chemistry or Physics? Vlfhich was the easier? NVe finally settled this problem to our satis- faction, although we found that there were other problems regarding Boyle's Law and magnetism which were not solved as easily. XVe became organized again soon with the following officers : Donald Kammert, president, Kenneth McCrimmon, vice-presidentg Neva VVilson, secretary, Jack jensen. treasurerg and Miss Schnooberger, faculty advisor. Our faculty advisor certainly had ability when it came to getting up banquets, as she proved when our class entertained the Seniors at the junior-Senior Banquet in May. We were very crowded during the first three quarters of this year because of having the Junior High in our building too, but when we thought of how nice it would be when the new building would be completed, we didn't mind the discomforts. When at last the building was opened, we certainly were proud of it, even though it really wasn't ours. A VVe attended another graduation this june, a class of those same boys and girls who had initiated us when we were Freshmen. We said to each other, Just think, next year it will be us. Even so, we couldn't quite realize it then either. In September 1926, we returned again now the most honored of all-Seniors! We studied harder than ever because we wanted to make something of ourselves this year-our final year at South Haven High. It was different this year, be- cause we were the Seniors-the privileged class. VVe elected for our leaders the following: Gertrude VVilson, presidentg Re- genia Valentine, vice-president g Bonnie Tripp, secretary, Neva Wilson, treasurerg William Bild, athletic officerg Mr. Hervey, faculty advisor. Contrary to previous custom, Mr. Mohr was not the Senior Advisor, but he consented to help us with our Annual anyway. And now we are nearing the day when we will sit on the stage of the Central Auditorium awaiting our own diplomas. It will be a big day for us, but it will also mean the passing of some wonderful days which we have enjoyed together in South Haven High School. Some of us have said that we hate school, but we havenlt meant it. The days We spent in High School trying to absorb as much as we could of Algebra, Physics and History will always remain in our minds as some of our happiest memories, and the friendships that were formed here will never be forgotten., Nor will we ever forget our teachers, who labored. so patiently to teach us some of the things that we ought to know in order to make better men and women of ourselves. No, we won't forget you South Haven, and we will be as loyal to you as alumni as we were when members of the Student B0Cly.
