SENIOR CLASS HISTORY One morning in September. 1910. the whole Waterloo High School stood staring, with mouths agape, at sight of the new Freshman Class, fu’l thirty-two in number, spirited, enthusiastic, and not so very green, either. The High School room was then on the first floor of the building and the room had formerly accommodated all four classes. But now the great army f Freshmen crowded out the Juniors and Seniors and was left in victorious possession of almost three-thirds of the field, the Sophomores occupying a mere corner. Never was there a class with more class spirit, more class pride and more class loyalty; never a class so determined to play fair, t make good. Veda Browns was elected president and served us well. In a short nine months the class had outgrown its “swaddling clothes” and was ready to leave the Freshman year for new fields of conquest. At the end of the first year only twenty-three remained, some having gone to other towns, a few to take up other work, hut not one having “fallen by the wayside.'' Twenty-three in number, we entered the Sophomore year, in the new room upstairs. Spirit and loyalty grew stronger with the decrease of num- bers. Studious when study was expected, gay and care-free when it was not, the class won the love of the teachers and the respect of other classes. Dur- ing the year four of our true-hearted Sophomores heard other duties cail. and went out to take up other work. They were sadly missed, but the das. , must go on and on! Glen Myers was elected president, in which office he served well and faithfully. We entered the Junior year with the nineteen veterans of our Soph more battles and one recruit from Fort Recovery. Ohio. Charles George was chosen president of the Junior class and served it with a loyalty sur passed by none. Though not one Junior dropped by the wayside, great was our sorrow to learn that four of our classmates could not join us in our Senior year. Three were forced to leave for other schools and one had de- cided to take up another line of work. At the beginning of the 1913-T4 school year there were sixteen mem bers in the Senior class, but two dropped out ere the close of the term. Throughout the year we have worked loyally on together, with only a few hard experiences which we now consider as difficulties surmounted.” But now when the last happy year is over, the last glad occasion past and the last sad parting word said, we want to leave our slogan for the help of other students. It is our hope that when some student is laboring toward the top of the steep ascent, climbing ever upward, may lie turn to his weaker class mate, toiling patiently on. and call to him encouragingly. Excelsior, aye Excelsior!” the slogan of old '14! EMERSON C. WALKER, Historian.
