Class History IJTE, the class of 1909, first embarked upon our long journey of High School rw life in the old building on West Jefferson street. We will never forget the feelings both of pride and timidity which we experienced as we mounted the creaking stairs to the Assembly room with our diplomas under our arms. But it does not take long for Freshmen to get into the spirit of the school, and soon we were the boldest class to be found. As Freshmen are wont to do we watched ev- ery move which our adored Seniors made. The following day after the Seniors first class meeting a very scrawly notice appeared on the board for a Freshman class meeting. After much loud discussion in which disorder reigned we managed to elect Claire Williams for our President. This was perhaps the happiest year of our life notwithstanding those Latin declensions and the dreadful — 7x9. But our most miserable experience was the quarterly examinations, for how could thirty- six carefree Freshmen be expected to escape those dreadful demerits. How soon the first year of our High School life rolled around! Almost before we could realize it we were Sophomores. Now we truly did think we were some body. The poor Freshmen who succeeded us fared even worse than w e, for, as our name indicated we were Wise F ools and wished to display our authority over the Freshmen. Our President for this year was Roderick Renner, who dis- tinguished himself as a natural born leader — of pranks. Our mischief-loving boys painted ' 09 on the H. S. building in black paint. The faculty becoming angry threatened to expel them if they did not take it off. The next night about a half dozen boys might have been seen over at the old building scratching away with all their might. Fearing some one would see them, they made quick work of it and left. Next day there was still an 09 on the building. The boys had not taken into consideration that the building was at one time red. As Juniors we spent our most uneventful year. We worked some and idled more. We had fully expected to get into the new building hut were disappointed in this. During this year we were initiated into the Oral Composition society and sorry to say, we lost our worthy class President, Earl Jorden, who died from an attack of stage fright. What change time has wrought. Out of thirty-six rollicking Freshmen only ten remain. However during the four years many new members were added until now we number in all twenty. We have completed that journey which, as Freshmen, seemed unending. Now we look back and it seems but yesterday since we looked across the long room at the Seniors, never daring to hope that at some time we might fill that honorable position. Now as we go forth to our separate stations in life, we wish to say a few words of praise for the members of the faculty who have labored (we hope not in vain) to make us able to go forth and take up those burdens which we are called upon to bear.
