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.

26 THE ROSEBUD Society, and as such raised her society to a much higher standard. She has proved herself to be very popular among the students of tlie W. H. S. and has won for herself a host of friends, many of whom are among the opposite sex. Her future is rather inicertaiii as yet. hut we can i)ictiu-e her as none other than a dutiful housewife for a yiiuuu ' man outside our own school. Charles Colby He is a fool who thinks Ijy force or skill ■ To turn tlu cm-rent of a woman ' s will. ' July 16, 1898. Shrimp, though he has only been in our class for two years, luis iiroven himself an ambitious student. It is liis belief that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, ' and he believes in liaving liis shar? of fun. Al)out eight- thirty every morning you can see him I ' unuing at full speed toward the old school building; he enters the assembly room i)anting aiul jiufifing. but is soon restored to his former self. He has made several attempts to get acquainted with the opposite sex but all seems to fail, nevertheless we have bright hopes for him in the future. He is president of the ' 17 class. Mary Nodine If Virtue feeble were. Heaven itself woidd stoop to her. December 18, 1897. Mary is certainly one of the greatest teases in the Senioi- class. She is never happy unless she can play some sort of .juke on someone. She shuns the ojiposite sex and is noted for her blushes. It is lici ' honest desire and ambition to bconu a nurse and she carries witli hi ' r tlu ' licartiest wishes of the entii ' e class. Thelma Eberly Had I as many souls as tlicre be stars, I ' d give them all. December 30, 1898. Thelma hails from the country but nevertheless she is alM ' ays a ready worker both in class and society work, which is shown by the fact that she has served a term as secretary of the Zedaletheau society. She is not one half as foiul of study as she is of her diamond and drawing the veil tluit discloses the future, we can see her none other than a busy housewife. Charles Till Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt, And everv grin, so merrv, draws one out. April 20, 1898. Charles, another foreign student, is one of the most uu rry of the eutir( pchool. One of the unusual tilings M-ould be to see hira angr.v. He understands
