Almost all of' you are probably very happy at the thought of going on to another school. Willard High asks, VVhat are your memories of her and are they pleasant ones? She hopes they are. One of your pleasant memories will be the sat- isfaction of knowing that you are the first class to be graduated from our fine, new building. The pupils and teachers of' Viiillard High School are sorry to have you leave, but they know that you are go- ing to another school and eventually into the world to do, as we all hope, great thinrrs. NVe all aspire to be Seniors some- time, and we sincerely hope that we shall be able to fill the honor place as well asyou have. Here is wishing' every member of the Senior Class the very best that life holds. May each member realize, that it is only through labor that we rise and that it is our duty to strive to do our best in all things. Willard does not want you to forget her, but most of all, Willard does not want you to lose the spirit that you ADIEU Alma Mater, we bid thee adieu. It is with a note of sadness in our voice that we say this, but pleasant memories so greatly outshine the sadness that we a.re able to say farewell without a tear. The Senior Class of 1926, is proud of VJ. H. S. VVe are grateful for the inspiration to greater thiuas which she has put into our lives, and proud of her achievements in the field and on the floor as well as in the class- room. Though we may not always have been a credit to her, we know that her influence will ever be a leavening agent within our lives and that we will strive to honor her name in the world of so- ciety and business which we enter. We praise our community for the gift of a new home for our Alma Mater. It was much needed and is a fitting abode for the VV. H. S. which we can vision a few years hence. VV. H. S. has been our school and we must admit that, if it were not for her splendid school spirit and co-opera- tion we would not have progressed so rapidly. To the classes still within the gates of VV. H. S. we give our good wishes. Vl'e trust that they may give of their best too, and in return receive learn- ing, strength and happiness from our 'THQ5 COLUMN' fam -v - Shiek: So you can't take a joke?

Ophelia Rose Old Rose and Silver CLASS l-IISTCDRY Some four years ago in what is known as the period of speculation, a group of lusty adventurers were seen approaching from different directions, a new field of learning. They were not the first however to do this, but the quaking fear of not knowing what was coming next, took hold and possessed this group, which turned out to be the class of '26. Much to the surprise of all on that eventful day, our class was woefully sprinkled over the entire building. The system of changing classes was the despair of the Fresh- men and the determination of the teachers, that's why we have to over- look some of their queer actions. How- ever to show what a really bright class we had, we settled into the routine of the intriques and mysteries of the High School life, within the week. During that period of strife and struggle the upper classmen thought to introduce a new mode of hair cut and finding no group so illustrious as we Freshmen they used us as their models. This type of hair cut became so popular as to warrant an investigation by the mayor and that gentleman found it lacking in certain qualities and the fad passed away. We are proud to say that our com- ing into high school was along with the first established eighth period rule. Anxious to see what this system was, a number from our class were in daily attendance. On the field of battle our class was present with a large repre- sentation which proved to be the back- ing of all athletics. Thus, in short, passed the first period of our high school life. We turned out in full strength for our second year. This time we were all excited by thc hopes of a new school building. 'lhis period could be called the period of obscurity as my thoughts are all somewhat dim. The outstand- ing thing by which we can establish our claim to leadership is the account of tilt! S0pll0Ill1lI't' party. ln this many hid- brought to lightg an played and often engagement for a social function in town. A soloist was den talents were orchestra which would receive an found to be in our class and several speakers were developed. For the class as a Wlllllt' the proper spirit was mani- Iested by all, the spirit winch will make any movement a success and which put our class among the foremost. Unless my ever moving pencil betrays me, several episodes have been passed over. This next period is the one of finding ourselves. we found ourselves in the role of upper-classmen. Ahern! Our class stepped forward in the beginning of the year in the line of athletics. The greater bulk of the team's strength was found to be from the class of 26. ln magazine selling, our class was the first to have sold its quota. An oper- ettu, given in this eventful year, was composed largely of our class and through this the music based in high school was raised from the bankrupt state to one of the financially secure. The class as a whole deeply lamented having only eight months of school and no exams that year. CNOte: I had my fingers crossed at the time this was writtenj. The greatest occasion of this year was the Junior-Senior ban- quet. We spent much time and pains for the event in order to make it a success. The night it was given, we had fears of losing five of our mem- bers as the chirping Sparrow five ren- dered somc vocal refrains that threat- ened to run the Metropolitan Opera Stars from the stage. An' lo! Yea, the third period. When we started on the last year of our high school life, little was thought of what we would have to go through as full-fledged upper class- men. New courses were given and so we forthwith delved into them, little knowing ...................... guess! The first social occasion was a Hallowe'en party. A popularity contest was held in the schoolland the bulk of the student'S choice were Seniors. Several hobby notions were put forth by the Senior class. But stop a minute people, for in the meantime our much hoped for school building has been completed and we are now in it. 1 cannot help but think at this time, how hard we work- ed three years ago to distribute the propoganda for it, so we deserve a share of praise in starting it. Another operetta was given and six out of eight principal characters were from the class of '26. Music was furnished by one of our class. This was to pay for stage settings. Then we think we have the interest of the high school imbeded in us. Recently a Senior-Junior party was held, where our mothers served a. delightful supper. And now you see the encouragement by which We can accomplish so many things. In short, the work of the class of '26 can be ex- pressed as First In Everything. The fourth and last episode is ended.
