SENIOR CLASS HISTORY N the year nineteen hundred and eleven a rumor was heard that a new Night High School was to be added to the two schools of this kind in Cincinnati. It was to be held at the XYash- ington School, and it roused the spirit of learn- ing in many people of that and surrounding localities. Consequently it was a vast audience who listened to the opening remarks of our late principal, Professor George XV. Burns, and joined the different classes open to them. It was as Sophomores that we swore our allegiance to the new treasure given into our keeping. Numerous were the obstacles placed in our way before we were finally joined into a class under the tutelage of Mr. Zimmerman, Mr. Bnrghardt and Miss Xl'ilsori. Our classmates then numbered about four teen, and like the winds, they had come to us from East, Yl'est, North and South. But the bond of friendship which has been formed through the entire three years of our sojourntogether will never be severed. Our studies consisted Of Algebra, Latin, English, German and Ancient History, which were not very difficult, although Algebra was a terror to some, and Geometry, which came the last half of the year, a terror to many more. The year was a very pleasant one, but we looked forward longingly to vacation time. Summer passed quickly and we gathered together for our Junior year. There were some few changes, but most of our teachers had climbed the step toward the goal with us. A new stumblihg hlock made its appearance in the form of Elementary Physics, but it, like all the preceding ones7 had to be overcome. The memory of our junior Year brings sorrow, for in it we lost the support of our principal, G. XV Burns, and the year closed with sad foreboclirigs as to who could promote our wel- fare in the coming year as well as he had done. In it we awakened to the responsibility placed upon us a; the hrst Academic grad- uating class of our school. Last but not least is our Senior Year. Our Class was organized, and with two representatives from each of the other classes formed the annual statt. The sole purpose of this organization is to promote the welfare of the school, and in this book you will view the extent of our success. Much respect is due the Social Committee for the many pleasures they have given tis this year and the benefit they have been to the school. The P-A recep- tion was a great success, and will always he a pleasant memory to us all. Another interesting event of the year was the purchasing of our school banner. How proudly we follow it on this, our grad- uation night, and hope that the classes th0 succeed us will cherish it as we have clone, keeping the life of the one whose face is there portrayed as a constant help toward success, ever in mind. The sudden loss of our new principal, Professor Cummins, at the time when we needed him most. was very sad. But we wish to extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Ellis. who has helped us so faithfully, and also to our teachers, Miss Wilson, Mr. Zimmerman, Mr. Bingman, Mr. Elliott and Mr, Burghardt. Graduation Night is here, the time we have looked forward to so longingly and with much pleasure. As we stand at the parting of the ways, diplomas in hand, we try vainly to gaze into the future and the question comes to our minds, that next? The University at the top of the hill beckons to some of us. others have decided to go to law school. Of one thing we are certain. the claes of ll 1 having won their first battle in life will look for new ohstacles to overcome, new worlds to conquer, with always the same thought in mind, ttPerge Moclo?
