History of the Class of 1916 When the old school bell sent forth its warning peal on that bright September morning in 1912 a new class was gathered together to begin-its career in the iVest Salem High School. Seven of our fourteen members came from the eighth grade and seven from other schools. As I was not one of the number until 1912, I shall not attempt to sketch the history of the class prior to its Freshman year. The greetings “Hello Greenies’’ and “Oh you Freshies” came mostly from the experienced Sophomores. We felt rather strange among so many superiors, and we sometimes forgot that when the back of one of our worthy pedagogues was turned we were being watched by some one else. We had heard how Freshmen are treated at their first class meeting and we decided to keep ours a secret. We were successful in holding our first meeting for the only opposition was the interruption of a few Junior girls. When the upper classmen learned that the meeting had been held they looked rather disappointed and were forced to admit that they had been planning orf having a good time when the Freshmen organized. Things went on smoothly and we soon became so accustomed to the ways of the school that the teachers often found it necessary to inform us that we were only Freshmen. Thus ended our first year in high school and there is no doubt but that each and every one of us would be glad to live that year over again. When we commenced our Sophomore year our number was decreased to ten. Our spare time was taken up watching the Freshmen as we had been watched the year before. But of course we never thought of talking to them as we had been talked to. Upon the commencement of our Junior year we were joined by Russel Colman and Charles Stiven whom we were glad to welcome into our midst, and thus increased our number to twelve. As Juniors we realized our position and duty to our dignitaries and watched them with all interest and respect. We realized what our duty as Seniors would be the next year and wishing to become acquainted with the task decided we would learn as niuch as we could from our upperclassmen. No one can tell how we felt our responsibility upon entering the Senior year. The place which we as Freshmen had looked upon with envy and the goal toward which we had been striving, was now reached. The good times which we have had are numberless and altho we are happy to complete our high school course, we regret leaving the place of so many pleasant memories. The memory of our school will always be dear to us and we hope that each succeeding class may enjoy its high school course as much as we have enjoyed ours. E. F. C. T6
