Senior Class History When this “Annual” is published this class will have left the halls of Y. FT. S. to!return as a class—never more. Of those who began together in The first grade of the public school, only five members are left and of the thirty-seven who began as Freshmen, only twenty-five are left to constitute the Senior Class of 23. With pride we point to our place in school work. Be it in athletics, music, oratory, literary or scholastic activities, our class is not to be surpassed. The first “Annual” of the High School was published by our class. The literary presidents are Seniors. We are well represented in baseball, basketball or football. The girls’ basketball team is almost a Senior organization.: Seniors contribute much to operettas. We count in our minibus poets,'singers, pianists, orators, writers, a violinist and a saxophonist. Indeed there is no line of activity in which our class does not partake. Much has the old school done for us, and long have the teachers toiled for our benefit. Truly we hope that their toil shall not go unrequited and ,hat we shall be able to repay in full measure the devotion shown us. Safe! and secure for the moment we contemplate on that vast sea of life now so near before us. Soon shall our ships of career be launched on the open sea where there are none to guide us to a desired destiny, save our own solves. The questions arise, “Have we better fitted our lives by these days of school to weather the perils before us? Have these days been profitable as well as pleasant? How can there be any answer other than yes? We who have been schoolmates here together, whose ships have sailed together for four long years will now be carried far apart. Guided with such steadiness as self and toil has taught we shall be far separated. And yet Hoods of memory shall cast our eyes back across the sea of life—back to the pleasant shore of school life and then we will live over again those days of which this “Annual” tells. Then here’s to our class, its purple and gold; Dreams we have had, ideals that we hold; And when we have left our classmates so gay, May fortune follow all whatever their way. NORMAN BFRNS, ’23.
