A- VE tY hour will bring us nearer To that glorious final day, When wetll leave the stuffy classrooms Where we used to work and play. 0 more notebooks nor report cards, No more civics work to do; No more call-downs in the office, No more back work for review. 3'! F we think of all the study And the worries we went through, Queer it seems that wetre still living, Seems too much for just a few! H, but still it is pleasure, Just to think of days long past- . Reminicenees we treasure, Of the grand, old Senior Class. - EALLY, though, as we look backwards ?RDOWH the long, long trail we came, Seems as though wetd like to travel, J ust once more upon the same. 0 we wait the coming summons, Feeling sorry itis so near: Every one of us would like to Stay for just another year.

A Hiatnriml Emma nf the Cillaw nf tlg Time-September 7, 1915, to June 24, 1919. PROLOGUE Eight thirty. Main Room. Morning of September seventh, Nineteen Hun- dred and Fifteen. Above the hum and confusion of the upper classmen greeting one another, Mr. German could be heard at the Main Room desk tinkling his little bell. Gradually the hum of voices ceased; nothing could be heard but the excited gasps of the awed Freshmen. A preliminary cough and wordse-words in a deep voice ever falling upon their ears. A blur of duties, privileges and pleasures extending through the limitless period of four years was being unrolled before them. The bell clanged-the upper classmen confidently made their way through the well known corridors, and the dazed Freshmen followed at their heels. Curtain. Act 1. Scene 1. Main Room. Some weeks later. A Freshman class meeting was being held. With disregard of Roberts Rules of Order, names for various officers were shouted. Apparently one name rose above the others and LoeBilly Pryor became the president of the class. Scene 2. Kindergarten Room and Lower Corridor. The patronizing Seniors were playing the role of hosts, while the Freshmen thrilled to the call of iiRuth and Jacobft At last came the welcome summons to refreshments. Milk!eWafers!eAn insult time alone-or was it timely ice cream-served to banish. At eleven otclock, tired, alone-eor otherwise-they plodded home. Who would have thought from that youthful throng Elinor Shafer would bring them the honor of fourth place in the Declamatory Contest! Act II. Street Scene Around the High School. The neighbors, peering from their windows, beheld an endless stream of sophomores, strolling two by two. Heading that train of daily strollers, Billy Pryor the president for the second year, walked with his Lady Fair. Tim Couch. the latest addition to the class, readily fell in line. i One noon the inquisitive neighbors noticed that a small light haired girl was the center of attraction, and m although some wondered the cause, the majority realized that this particular girl, Ida Page, had the night before won an honor very unusual for one so young. She had carried away the first prize in the Declamatory Contest. Page Twenty-three
