8 VVATCH CITY BULLETIN. HISTORY OF THE CLASS GF l90l+ As Historian, for the Class of 1904, I will try to relate as briefly as possible, the history of this class, which has, in our estimation, had so many interest- ing evefnts in its four years in the High School. In September 1900, we first met as a class in the Old High School. As is natural, we felt proud of the fact that we were Freshmen, and doubtless our faces made this fact known. The usual reception was tendered us by the upper classes, and here, for the first time, we came into con-tact with the Class of 1903, who were proud to be no longer Freshmen, and made themselves generally noticeable. All necessary matters were explained before we went to recitations. VVe had been warned before- hand that Miss Frost would expect everyone to have a pencil and note-book ready, so, confident in having thus pleased her, some of us filed to her recitation. We had been told that Miss Frost was a rather Uawe- inspiring person, but to our astonishment she exacted no arduous tasks from us for our first lessons. Physics was a new subject and immediately appealed to us, as well as did its teacher. At the end of the first day, considering our les- sons for the next, we took ho.ne more books than we have ever taken since. At the close of school, groups, discussing this new school life, could be seen all along Church street. About one month after the opening of school, we elected our class ofiieers. On the eleventh of Oc- tober, 1900, we held our first class meeting, at which Mr. Burke presided as chairman. Miss Phyllis Thompson was appointed secretary pro. tem. and the business of the meeting proceeded. We chose Alfred T. Ball, as president, Dorothy L.. Mosher, vice-president, Phyllis Thompson, secretary, E. Winslow Fiske, treasurer. Since this was our first class meeting, it was long, but shorter ones followed. Soon we decided to choose our class colors,'and have a pin. This was something unusual for a Freshman class to do, and we formed, thereby, a precedent for other classes. Even the Class of 1903 profited by our example, and decided that they would have pins, although they were then only Sophomores. In the early part of November, we had a class meeting, and made plans for a social. This was a brilliant affair, and very much unlike the usual Frestnuarl socials, of which one hears so many l rumors. Either our boys were not bashful, or our girls were not, for both seemed to enjoy each other's company. This social was held in the Assembly hall of the old building. I believe that, if I remem- ber rightly, the boys of the upper classes amused themselves, as they stood outside, with sods and bean-blowers. VV ho ever could imagine that young gentlemen would amuse themselves with bean- blowers! About this time our class colors were chosen. A competent committee was placed in charge of this, and finally submitted to the class several colors, among which were royal purple and gold, which we have been proud to wear ever since. After our vacation at Christmas time, we held a re-election of ofiicers. Since our first president de- clined to serve again, Elliot B. Hughes was elected to fill his place. Our other ofiicers retained their positions. Our Freshman year would not have been complete had it not been for a sleigh-ride, that was held in February. Mr. Burke and Miss Clapp went with us, and proved themselves able chaperons. Mr. Burke made fun for all with his stories, of which he has always an abundance. The excitement caused by the sleigh-ride having subsided, we again became restless, for our class has always had the reputation of wanting some excite- ment all the time, on this account we decided to have another social, which was held on the evening of March 23, 1901. This social was under the charge of a committee, who knew how to make others, as Weill as themselves, have a good time. This time, a dignified Senior, supposing that the ice- cream was in room 8, thought he would gain an entrance to this room. Some of his friends procured a ladder, and held it for him, upon reaching the win- dow-sill, he gave them orders to take it away. This they did, but his plan could work no further, since the window was locked, and he was up there alone. When his friends came back, he was helped from his place of captivity, and although he attempted other plans, he was unsuccessful. These little affairs never disturbed those inside. p In June of this year death visited our class, and took from our midst one of our class-mates, Miss Martha Spear. Then came our annual summer vacation, after
