'7TV' nv' SENIOR mm '7Tv tTV- mm CLASS HISTORY $ Everything at the Illume High has been going at the same monotonous rate for years. True the school has improved from time to time, both in fac- ulty and equipment, but this is nothing out of the ordinary. Among the stu- dents little of what we commonly call “Progressive has happened to disturb the drowsiness that has pervaded the institution. Hut wait— things are not always to remain so, even now there is a slight trembling of the eyelids, Plume High stirs, activities are beginning, as the school wakes up. Hut why? The class of 1915 has entered. Alas, the pride of that first day is soon to fade away when they learn that it is proverbial for the Freshman class to be called the largest, the most promising, and the most original in school. As Freshmen they were like dull stones. Hut now. at the beginning of the second year they arc beginning to shine. They gain such admiration that Seniors and Fre.-hmen want to be their friends. To the teachers they have become humorous, amusing and interesting. As Juniors they are not dull or shiny, they sparkle like dew on small blades of grass. Their mottoes “Strive to do the impossible—please every one, and “Never have all work and no play are the indices of their character. It is in this year that we find them organizing with Harry Knost as president, Charlotte Taeusch as vice president, Howard Strcight treasurer and Leo 11 as- senauer secretay. And now that they have reached their last year, what have we the Juniors to say of them? Why they are Seniors! and how much that small word means to us. They have set us noble examples. They have perused their books and have done excellent in their studies. They have helped to furnish the best for- waids and guards on the basket ball teams, and the best pitchers on the base ball teams. W e, their underclassmen, see only their brilliancy, the brilliancy which we can compare only to the diamond and we extend to them our heart- iest wishes, confident that all the Seniors will prove as worthy in the world as they did in school.

ssvtd HV3A Hxanod IRIS CAMPBELL. Four Years Latin. Meet her anil I am sure she will please. ' Wanted.—A good looking fellow, with plenty of money. Here is the suffra- gette of our class. If you want any infor- mation concerning the Constitution ask Iris. Some day she may he President, for her mind is of that bent. She is Dame Fashion’s most faithful follower and determined to he in style regardless of looks. LOUNETTA REINHART. Four Years German—Two Years Latin. “She is charming to talk to, full of wisdom, and rich in information.” Lounetta certainly deserves all the praise she receives, for her scholarship is next to the highest in the class. We would not he surprised to sec her teach- ing school next year. She has been so occupied with her work that she has not given much of her time to class meet- ings. WINONA BAILEY Three Years Latin-—Two Years German. “Knowledge comes of learning well re- tained.” Winona is a diligent worker and intends to further her education by going to col- lege. She says that after her graduation there she will teach school. But we have our doubts, for although we have never heard her talk about the boys we know there is one in whom she is especially in- terested. (Page Twenty-five)
