I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. THE FIRST YEAR CLASS 5' 'x X N THE tenth day of June, l904, crowds of us, smiling boys and girls, could be seen S N . . . . . Rnd? Hocking toward the new high school building. Many were the astonished faces as we gazed at the beautiful surroundings which were soon to become our home. Assembled in the large auditorium with our superintendent, Mr. Sheakley, and our future prin- cipal, Mr. Riddell, we were soon made to feel at home after their cordial greeting. Before dispersing we were given certificates, signifying that we had rightfully gained the title of high school students, which we were to assume on September 6, l904. On that day we returned, eager to begin the new year's work. One could easily distinguish the first year students from those of the higher classes, because the former looked so fresh and green among those almost withered flowers. Of the 800 enrolled in the high school, 300 are first year pupils. Obviously, we far exceed all other classes in numbers, in the course of our career we shall doubtless also excel all in knowledge and ability. In all the high school organ- izations we hold an important place. Besides forming over half of the first and second year music class, we are well represented in the orchestra and the girls' glee club. The rooting at the football games would be quite tame if it were not for the many vigorous voices of the first year pupils, who come en masse and shout themselves hoarse in support of old West High and the team. And what of the gymnasium classes? They would be con- siderably smaller without us. True, the fourth year students would probably be very willing to spare our young athletes, for if our girls of the basketball team were out of the way there might be some chance for the upper classes to win a game. Then here 's to the class of '08 ! May we succeed in all our undertakings so that at the end of the four years we may grad- uate still claiming the title of the banner class! t Q' Freshrfiehfwe are, and we're proud of it, too, Ready to abide by what we should do, Ever obedient to teachers and rules, Safely we say we 're the pride of the schools. n Harmonyn our motto, Discord' not knowng Merits we claim which we rightfully own. Every good trait l can 't here relate: V Now then, Three cheers for the class of '08 ! IRMA B. SHLoss, '08. t w en ty -fo u r
