Svrniur 0112155 iiiainrg As we look back four short years into our school life we see a happy group of twenty Freshmen bravely marching up to the new two-year accredited High School for enrollment. As we had been told of the joy which accompanied the high school course we entered without the least fear and bravely faced the onslaughts of Latin and Algebra. But alas! To our dismay when we reached our second mile stone only fourteen remained. The Sophomore year found the young Freshies of the year before laboring hard with their old foe, Geometry. Only nine of the brave Sophs survived the months of toil and anguish. The Junior year was undoubtedly the most exciting year of our school life. The nine sturdy Juniors were then striving hard to out-wit the four honorable Seniors of that year. This was plainly shown during Junior week when we entertained with music, yells, and readings. The Senior year found only eight of the original class ready for work, but we joyfully welcomed four new members, one of whom we lost after a time. This year has been the most pleas- ant of all. We have bravely faced the storm and tumult and are at last prepared to enter life's school with a clear path be- fore us. The greatest joy of this year has been the Hying of our colors, the old red, white, and blue, before the Sophomores. Through months of toil and preparation we are now ready, with aching hearts to bid Goodbye to Old Timber High, our teachers and classmates, and step out into the great wide world. As we leave, we join in wishing to all a happy future and wish heartily to thank the faculty for their kindness, patience, and co-operation throughout our school life. tl: 2: 2: Dare to be right, dare to be true, You have a work that no other can dog Do it so bravely, so kindly, so well, Angels will hasten the story to tell. -Selected. page twelve
