CLASS OF 1917 In September of the year 1913, the present Senior Class found its way into the High School, started upon its career and shortly afterward underwent the mysterious process of initiation, a process to which all Freshmen are subjected. But as we look back upon our experiences of the past four years, even an aeroplane does not seem such a hazardous undertaking. We entered with the firm determination to live up to our motto: “Work and win.” We did work and win, that is, we won the title of “Green Freshies.” Although as Freshmen we were unaccustomed to high school methods we did not realize what we had undertaken when we aspired to do great things. Our trials have only served to bind us more closely together, and caused us to take more interest in the class as a class. Although some have left school to take up other pursuits in life, to make places for themselves in the industrial world and others have fallen victims of “Dan Cupid’s” darts, their places have in part been filled by those entering from other schools. These have proven themselves as faithful followers of the “Orange and Black” as could be desired and it is largely due to their loyalty that this class has the honor of being the largest ever graduated from the East Moline High School. This year has brought a realization of our fondest hopes, a high school of our own. It is in itself an inspiration, for besides the honor of being the first class to graduate from the new building it offers us advantages which we have never before enjoyed. Although fun had never been allowed to interfere seriously wdth the studiousness, each year has been marked by several social affairs in which this class has taken part. In athletics, too, we lead: Alta Sarginson, Bernice Woodruff and Edna Peterson, of the Girls’ Basket Ball team, receiving their letters by engaging in interscholastic conflicts. Karl Noden, Roy Gallaugher and Orville Washburn made the Boys’ team and also won their letters. We have furnished the leaders for the school, the majority of the officers of both the Ciceronian and the Philomatheon societies having been chosen from our class. Of the three composing the team in this year’s East Moline-Augustana Debate, two, Alta Sarginson and Alice Martin, were Seniors. But as graduation draws near we realize that the little things we have done are but a foundation for the bigger things to come. Our careers do not end here, for “We are launched, but not anchored.” ROUINE VODRA, ’17.
