THE GLFAR1 QU 1 Qllaaa itiainrg --T HF Class of 1910 has a most unique beginning, in that it is composed of what were two separate and distinct classes. On January, 1906, a class was sent to the High School, so as to make room in the grade schools, and because of their great intellectual advancement it was thought that they should have more appropriate surroundings. As our coming had been her- alded. a space had been provided for us in the assembly hall, and we were quite the center of attraction on the morning of our arrival. No name having been provided for a fifth class, we were, at first, nicknamed Scrubs, but afterwards assumed the more dignified title of Sub Freshmen. Hale felt somewhat looked down upon this year, but managed to give a program once a week in assembly which was expected from each class. All looked forward to the next year, when our class would be above the Freshmen Class which would come at that time. II As school began again the following September the Subs sh-owed up with full ranks and there also came the usual class of Freshies. This was the year for organization, and at, first it was reported that the former Sub Freshmen and the Freshmen would be united, but this was met with such strong opposition on our part, that we were allowed to form a sep- arate class. XVe organized our class and were known as Advanced Fresh- men, while the others were just plain Freshies. About the first and only unanimous agreement the class had, was to keep away from the Freshmen in Assembly. Xlfe went through this year with heads up and colors flying, but about the end of the term the crash came when it was very unceremoniously announced to us that our extra half year would count for nothing. As fate would have it, we had to join the ranks of the Freshmen, but as they were an exceptionally good class, we were really glad of it. QI 1l'ith combined forces we started into the Sophomore year about seventy strong. All the class now thought we were making some progress toward the end and also had a very good opinion of ourselves. As this year had been reported to be the most difficult. all studied very hard and made a bril- liant record in the class room, consequently we had little time to make our- selves very widely known. II The next term having begun. we found ourselves to be under the title of Juniors, and therefore thought ourselves to be about as important as any one in school. ln this year came the brightest events in our history so farg also the unhappiest occurrence in the experiences of the class. One morning U11 Hur arrival at school we were told of the sudden death of one of our
