Merritt Pease Basketball, ’25, ’26; Track, ’25; W. Club, ’26. Here’s a studious boy. For learning he has great regard, And that may be the reason why He never finds his lessons hard.

(CARDINAL) SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four full years of trials, failures, and successes, go to make this, outclass history, interesting. We feel that our High School life is like a drama, and so it shall be here represented. ACT I Time, 1922-1923 The curtain rises on twenty-four new Freshmen assembling at the High School. Each is dazzled by the glitter of High School life and overwhelmed by the dignified air of the place. Slowly the mysteries of Algebra and Lat'n are unfolded to them and soon the needed adjustments are made. The first eventful social feat of the season was a wiener roast staged at the Lehn home. The Freshies display, in a splendid manner, their ability to entertain. All through the first year the Freshmen show their unusual aptitude until, at the close, their names have been set in startling letters upon the annals of the school. ACT II Time, 1923-1924 Twenty-three egotistical, yet eager Sophomores take their seats in the second section of the assembly. All have become accustomed to High School life in the previous year and, as a consequence, each has assumed a scholarly air and begun his work in earnest. The class takes an active part in the school activities and makes abundant contributions to athletics and music. This year several of the members also help in the publication of the Cardinal. During this act, the scene is shifted from the old school building to the beautiful new one which the community has provided for us. The class finds the new building very interesting but soon all explorations are completed and they are settled down to work as before. No special social event occurs in this year but all take an active part in the regular social activities. The act closes a tremendous success. Twenty-one
