c if ff A A. s fs Autobiography of the Excelsior Class Before dying, 'tis often said, men write their autobiographies. Now the Excelsior Class of Wheelersburg High School is far from being dead! It is, in fact, so very much alive that it is deemed to live on forever in the hearts of the great student body of W. H. S., and those connected with this wondrous institution. So our history runs- The Excelsior Class Hrst came into existence twelve years ago in the year of l9l2. Will we ever forget that first day? No, never: in the minds of each and every individual member of our beloved class will that first impression of school life be erased from our memory. As we trudged gaily off to school in the eight ensuing years, trials and tribulations, triumphs and victories greeted us until we finally ascended the stairs to the next landing-High School Days. High School Daysf Do we fully comprehend the meaning of these three words? To make the meaning more clear. let us compare ourselves to the Ship of Education. Eight long, but seemingly short years, it took to obtain the material for the construction of our ship.-The Beginning!

Every one enjoyed himself immensely and although-this was our only social event, several of our number showed their ability in another line-that of athletic activities. In a hazy manner our first year waned and at the dawn of the new year, we sailed forward as grand and glorious Sophomoresl As Sophomores, our Ship of Education showed a marked progress in growth. Didn't we think ourselves quite important as we took our places in the Sophomore row and threw mocking glances at our inferior classmenf It was only too natural! Soon after the beginning of school, election time rolled around. At this meeting we elected the following crew to guide us in building our ship of knowledge: President, Vaughn Lipkerg vice president, W. T. Harr: secretary, VVilliam Bihl: treasurer, Emil Schafer, and faculty advisor, Miss Shipton. The first social event on our calendar was a wiener roast and hay-wagon ride. Every one turned out for this event and a regular good time was en- joyed by all. By this time the work upon our ship began in real earnest again, and having pierced the verdant green of our Freshman year, Work,
