A MMI KING Class ffistory of '13 NCE a long time ago, to he exact, four years ago, we all felt very im- portant. And why shouldn't we? For We had just received our diplomas, our passport to Western High-the Meeea of our desires. On a bright September morning we finally, with many misgivings, took the step which severed us from our childhood days. At the end of that September day each one of us was ready to swear that Crete was not the Ollly' place possessed of a Labrynth and a Minotoire, for was not Western a maze of windings in which we had become lost many times and were not the Sophomores waiting for their annual victims? Hut after a time, we became used to the maze and our loyalty to dear old Western was established forever. Although we were self-coniident we did not have confidence enough to organize our class, but we spent that year in getting four E's oI1 our card each month, in protecting our desks from tlIe onslaught of the upper Classmen, and in preparing to become Sophomores. The next September, although reduced in numlrer, we were very self- satisfied and ready to give the coming class of Freshmen our place as the target for all jokes and gibes. How we dreaded Geometry and Caesar, but nevertheless we wo1I Caesars battles and conquered the geometrical figures.

In fact, we were so fond of Geometry that after our class had been duly or- ganized and we were getting along famously, we chose as our class pin a geometrical figure-the everlasting triangle. We displayed our pins with great pride, but we had to return to sterner realities for we were about to write the examinations, which would determine how many were to become Juniors. Al- though we became Juniors with a slight decrease in number, our spirit was not lacking. As .Iuniors, we realized that a great deal depended on us. We had to keep up not only our studies, but the social activity of the school. We really studied very hard, but English, Physics and other subjects were more difficult, and although the E's were not as abundant as in our Freshman year, never- theless on the whole, we were willing to display our cards. Our next interest was to make our parties a success, which was not as difficult. Besides the several dancing parties that we gave, the Junior Supper and the Senior-Send-Off were affairs which no Junior of class of '13 will ever forget. W'ell, in short, we were glad of the Send-Off because when the Seniors were properly sent off, weren't we to take their places, a dignified Senior? Now, Senior is proud and haughty title, but we were each and every one able to live up to it. The day we entered room 9 we felt our importanceg from force of habit we did nothing shocking. We studied early and late on Chem- istry, Solid and Burke until we knew each book from cover to cover. We also assisted the teachers in teaching the Freshmen that High School is not all a lark. We could not stand the strain of hard and persistent study and so we give a few parties. Well, you know what a Senior party isgjust a. real good time, and in everyone we lived up to our reputation. And then our Coffee, our Theater Party, our Trip to Germany, and last but not least, our Yankee Peddler, -who will ever forget them? We have enjoyed every day at Western and a few of us a day on the Kawkawlin. As a class, we have usually been financially and intellectually successful. And let us hope that we as individuals we may continue the reputation of the class. 49 y 'bfnv reg eiodf AW, vifx f iQ were 5 W 5 'w , W1,,,gg.,-ga A v N X5 E Nt 040 'nys 0 Z ,D ,131 'Vg ., gf!
