E5 To give a complete history of the Class of '08 would be a tremendous task. To at- tempt to recount all its acts of brilliancy would be useless. To prove its superiority in scholarship would be time wasted, for a self- evident fact needs no demonstration. In short, its history is the history of VVestport High School during 'Chose four memorable years. . - In the spring of IQO4 an excellent class of Seniors was ruthlessly turned out into the world to make room for these JOSS, whose reputation has already preceded them. In the fall they were received with joy. As Fresh- men they made an unprecedented record. The star of destinv of the preceding class, which had, since the arrival of the 'O8s, been hover- ing on the horizon, had now set. Into obliv- ion sank the illustrious names and the glori- ous deeds of all preceding classes, and with them the remembrance of their existence. In their Sophomore year the ,OSs were recog- nized as the leading spirit of the School. During this year and the next, their Junior year. thev were frequently mistaken for Sen- iors. Wlhile during their Senior year, so .tx 9 grave was their demeanor, so becoming their manner, and so profound their knowledge, that many of them were often mistaken for their teachers, and not infrequently for col- lege professors, statesmen, lawyers, etc. But not only in literature have they been formostg not only in literary circles have they been dictators. In scientific research, espe- cially along the lines of chemistry, thev have been unsurpassed. In their numbers are those whose glory has eclipsed that of all the fa- mous nien and women of to-day, including scholars, scientists, poets, dramatists, etc., etc. In every line their efforts have been rewarded with attendant success. There have been so many calls from the world at large for members of this Class of. '03 that, after much careful consideration, they, amidstthes entreaties of the Faculty and the tears of the whole School, have decided that the time has now arrived for them to bid adieu to the scenes of such pleasant mem- ories, and to separate, each to his respective place: but to meet again in majestic splendor in the spacious Hall of Fame.
