24 THE ROSEBUD SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Oiii iiiorniug: in September, 1913, the higher classnu ' ii of the W. II. S. Iiiokcd across to the west side of the assembly room and woinlcrcd wlui eom- posed the bright looking Freshmen class of twenty-five members. As a result if their curiosity and investigation they found that about fourteen of the number were known to them, these liaving graduated from the Waterloo gi ' ammar school. The remaining eleven students were mostly strangers, some coming from Corunna and others from the vicinity of AA aterloo. However, we sooU got acquainted ith our fellow students an I r.ew suirri dings antl sclu)ol life began to move along smoothly. Our timidity and restraint gradu- ally wore off until finall.v we canu ' to eonsid ' M- oui-selves of almost as much ini))()rtance as tlie dignified Seniors. Some of our nuMidiers felt the call of outside iluties before the erid of the first term, but othei ' s .joined the class and the school year closed with an enrcilliiuMit of twent. ' -six. The following year found all but one of our number oecni ying the Sophomore rows and we entered upon our round of scliool duties M-ith a will. We gained the recognition of the entire school by winning in the Tennis ToiirnanuMits held the next sjiring. One member departed for jMiother scl:o I liut the vacancy was filled and twenty-five were made happ.v by being pro- moted to the Junior year. Tliis year passed (piietly and smoothly for ail. Our ditfei-ent talents were shown in other things besides our studies, in literary work and athletics. We were well represented in both the girls and bovs basket ball teams and also baseball. The scliool year 16- ' 17 found an enrollment of twenty-thi-ee in the Senior class, hut one member did not enter until the last of December, being on duty as a niendier of the militia on the Mexican bonier. Vi have all been loyal to our class and worked with hearty co-operation. We have kept our motto, Climb though the rocks by rugged, ' in our minds ami hearts and have successfully climbed the steps to gi-aduation. la.v this motto be our safeguard and helper in our later life and enable us to climb much higher.
