wmwmww The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Six MUTTU-J'l-llow I'm down. Wm: We are all of different cast, Due to envirnns 0f the past: We are unlike as the leaves That ornament green Natures trees: llnt we join our hearts and hands. Whether here, or in distant lands. LVR high school days are m'cr. KVC think of this with a mingled feeling of calm regret ancliit must be said eof joy. Strange to say. these same sensa- tions were felt when, in September, 190?, we came together for the first time. Regret was felt that we were not a year or two older. and that the ordeals about to come had not been passed and our shyness banished. but we rejoiced that m- had COlTlC to a highl' school, with new surroundings. new studies, and. above allethis in mm ignnranccemore fun. In the last-mentionwl expectation. we u'cre very much disappointed, fur the extent of our fun con- sisted only in the sensation of insignihcance, the W O dissecting nt' insects and the digging for deri- vatinn 0f H'Hl'tlS and tleclensions, especially in Latin. which. however. was a pleasure only rx- perienccd by those who exercised their foolhardi- ness in their Option. f lur wanderings around the building looking for the room where we were due was also a source of much fun, but not for us. It did. however, afford much pleasure to the older students. Pmt in the second year we were as much amused at the wanderings of our successors as our prede- Wc were Sophomores. and the regard for our personal importance had To emphasize thesa Opinions of self-itnchrtance many nf the boys discarded their knee trousers in favor of the long panta- cessors harl been at us. greatly increased.

The girls, besides Changingeto a certain degree at least- their opinions of themselves, changed the mode of dressing their hair. which they wore unusually high, concealing the rat, while a bow of a yard of hright-eolered ribbon fastened the hair securely. When they were assembled in the Hail for music. the appearance was like that of the first bright and hot day in July. after a period of rain, when the bright-coiored butterflies ascend in the air from their of shelter concealment. Like the season of the butterflies, the fad of the large hows perished in a short time, and the third year exhibited none of the many-colored ribbons of the preceding yeart Life now began to look more serious. and the more serious thoughts of the days hereafter presented themselves. What subjects shall T take? For what shall I lit myself? and such question as these arose in the minds of us plodding Juniors. Physics. with its laboratory and strange apparatus, looked formidable to our places and inexperienced eyea, and the mathematics and the languages caused their share of trouble. The year, though quite strenuous, at last came to an end. and September, 1mm fonml us again assembled for another yearis hard work. One hundred and one boys and girls who hail struggled through three years of hard work and labor. presented themselves as graduation Candie rlatest and a more thrifty and hearty assembly never presented itself as a graduating class in XVaImit Hills High School. Campbell Johnston, Electa Rule and Ray 9 be complimented on their executive abilities. Their arrangements for the class dance were fine, and a jolly time awaited those who determined to patronize their first-class affair. But some of the fun which we looked forward to in the B grade was realized in our Senior year. even if we did have to work hard. One consola- tion for our hard work, however, 15 that we did not get into as much trouble as in the year before. This may have been due to the fact that we ac- quired the tact of getting out of trouble's way by long-continued practice. This was. at any rate, the case in the laboratory. When we were ac- cused of having put some test tubes or bottles away without cleaning them it was always the But when a bottle of hydrogen would explode, it was evident that it other fellow who did it. wasn't the other fellow, so what could we do but take the blame? But I dwell too long upon incidents. Suffice it to say that every one Of the class of 1906 does, and always will, Cherish those days which he so happily spent in dear old VVainut Hills High School.
