HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '21. Twenty-nine we were, when we began our eventful career in the South Wliitley High School in 1917. No doubt we were an awkward looking group when we -presented ourselves hcsitatingly before the Assembly room that fair September morning. We were amazed at the vast assemblage, or so it seemed to us, and we felt nervous and altogether uncomfortable. The last bell rang and school came to order. Before we had hardly time to gasp and realize it all, Algebra. English, Botany and Latin were thrust upon us. No doubt if we had not come with the firm determination to win, many would have abandoned our group, but we held firm and solved the a's and b x's and y's of tha at last comprehensible Algebra. Latin came nearly driving us from school, but Miss Bonewitz explained. unraveled the mysteries of case forms and smoothed out all our- difficulties. Miss Bortz became wrathful and greatly irritated but we appeased her anger with a goodly number of themes and thus escaped with our credits. Botany was our one real recreation. 'Twas a great enjoyment so we all had no ditiiculty in passing. Thus our first year drew to a close and we found ourselves a little wiser. VVe assembled again in September of the following year. 'Some of our number had left us. but we went joyfully forward tighting the battles of Caesar, solving Geometry propositions and coming forth from the middle ages with a goodly knowledge of Modern and Medieval History. The fall of 1919 found us back once more working hard, but with joyful and light hearts. History was easy. English too and Algebra likewise. Geom- etry loomed up the second half but with Mr. Fairfield's help it was not diffi- cult. A few attempted book-keeping and were awarded their certificates of efficiency in the end. During the year the class found time to stage a play entitled The Brixton Burglary. Witli the kindly assistance of Mr. Fair- field, our class patron, the play proved a. huge success. which more than amply paid our expenses of the Junior and Senior Reception. The last event having met with the hearty Commendation of the out going class. We also lent a helping hand in the Baccalaureate and C'ommencement exercises. At last in the year 1920. we the faithful sixteen, found ourselves embark- ed on our Senior career. Already half the year has passed quickly by. All have applied themselves to their work with a good will and an Annual prom- ises to be one of the fruits of this eventful year. Further possibilities are as yet incomplete and for exact information, one had best consult some oracle, at Dephi perchance. Wliatevei' the outcome may be we will ever have a clear vision of the happy days spent at the old South Wliitley' High School and will ever, remain loyal to the blue and the white.
