School in the athletic contest at Anna, and five in the intellectual contest. Not another class in the school has as many contestants in proportion to their numbers or even as a class. Soon the time will be past for us to take part in the High School contests, and when we look back over the past four years filled with both work and pleasure, it is with a feeling of sadness that we near the time when we mu-st say farewell to the High School, and standing upon the threshold of a new life with all its stern realities, and looking down through the vista of years, we see a brilliant fu- ture stretching out for the present Senior class. Soon the world's history will be our own and in succeeding ages the corridors of time will echo and re-echo to the praise of '02, SENIOR CLASS ROLL.

But nevertheless we will get through! And be the class of 1902. The curfew tolls the knell of parting day for another Senior class, and ere we depart we will write our history. Four years ago we entered theFreshman class and our trials as High School students began, but what others thought difficult was soon conquered by us and we came off victorious.

The third year we organized with seventeen members, calling ourselves the S. S. S. J., but would not tell the name for which these letters stood. The other classes know a good exam- ple when they see it, and now they all have or- ganized, with letters for their name, but neither will they tell the meaning of these letters. Our Senior class numbers fifteen, five boys and ten girls, five from the Grammar room, nine from the country, and one from another city who join- ed us in our Sophomore year. We cannot boast of great numbers or size but the best is not al- ways the most plentiful or the largest, as may be seen by the few following facts: In the High School foot ball team three of the best players are Seniors, two of our class represented the High
