CLASS HISTORY. - Every year brings more efficiency, better preparedness and a greater public recogni- tion to every Senior class. 'Ihis is the history of the Senior class of 1921-22. On Monday morning, September 5th, 1921, the following members entered the Senior class: Parks Bacon, Erma Baker, Myrtle Bell, Zada Bell, Elton Bryson, Charles Clark, Nellie Cox, Council Craig, Hazel Davis, Elvis Dixon, Velma. Dixcn, Bessie Hacker, May Hacker, Elva Hart, Belton Hemhree, Elmer Hendricks, Chris Martin, Edit-h Montgomery, Rowena Osborn, Reba Pickett, Faye Preston, George Riley, Gladys Riley, Minnie Weaver, Wesla Willett, Mabel Mathena, Farol Hendricks., Later in the year our number was increased by the entrance of Claud Church from Popular Bluff and Alba Masters, who had formerly been a member of our class. Of all the classes that have gracluated from the Stockton High School, ours is the largest. We can boast of having the youngest member that has graduated from this school and has the most units to his credit. As a whole, our class is well developed in mentallity, athletics, and social affairs. V ' We have as a class had many good times. There have been many little tricks pulled that were pointed directly at the Seniors. Of course, we did not do any dam- age, just had a little fun. One morning we assembled at our English class and there was a peculiar odor in the room. Mr. Salsbury came in and told part of the boys to go up in the attic and see if they could find dead pigeons, which were thought to be causing the odor. Instead of part going up, all the Senior boys went. We remained one-half day, engaging in various entertainments. We were alsw accused of stealing a cake just before the dinner which was set on Arbor Day. We did not confess to the charge. This last nine months, our title, Dignitied Seniors, has made its mark, as experi- ence and responsibility usually make their marks on mankind. Through co-operation, we have gained in all the traits of life. If our life's history can be marked with all good traits, and we hope it can be, we will have made a success in this world. We have all been happy in this, our Senior year, but it is hard for us to leave the old S. H. S. without a feeling of regret. Our travels through life may be bordered by luxury or poverty, still we shall never forget the school which has made us what we are in this world. All that we can do is to go out into the world to serve our fellow men. If they are justly served, we will be rewarded. Otherwise, we will have made a failure. Signed Parks Bacon.
