Wfe are the Is-ers of the Independ- ence High School! Yet it will not be long until our place will be most gra- ciously surrendered to the clamoring W'ill-hes of the Junior Class, and we shall be obliged to join the great throng of I. H. S, Has-beensf' But never- theless. we realize that, although we are going into a new and untried field, it is only a partial separation from 'fOld I. H. S., for after all, memory is sorrowis consolation and she will always smile if we will let her. Therefore, on looking o'er the pages of the past hours spent in I. H. S. we find many little incidents treasured up. Vife were Freshies indeed, and it is certainly an event worth recording However, long before the year was over, we had forgiven our tormentors and had forgotten that the Seniors had the nerve to laugh at a Freshman. Nevertheless, we were unusual Freshmen, as every one soon found out, for didn't we give our famous UQ Hannibal-Alexander and Caesar-Brutus de- bates and, in other words, study enough to last- us for four years. But this was because we hadn't as yet learned the art of graceful blufhng, which comes, of course, only after years of patient practice a.nd experience. VVhat happened our Sophomore year? N?Vere we really stars? At any rate, we led in the yelling and we were given the privilege of singing the last verse of the rounds in assembly. ldfe also had the honor of sitting in the balcony two years. Vfe didn't study all the time, however, even though we struggled through countless tangles. That year everything was treated as a joke, except algebra, but let us forget about it, as in reality we have. At Christmas we gave part of the program and finally closed the year in triumph. ' The Junior year followed, crowded full of events. It was like two years rolled into one. How we did study! Mr. Sexton's old maxim: f'Never allow your lessons to interfere with your pleasuref' was almost disregarded. Oh, yes, we kept note books galoreg all kinds, shapes and sizes. In fact, our high-water mark, in the note book line, was made that year. A chemistry manuel was the cause of one of our number burning midnight oil until 2:30 in the morning. indeed, we took time to select our class pins, which were certainly beauties. 'XR-le also won the hrst prize on the Senior play report and had more representatives in the Nautical Knot than any other class. But Fun followed Nr. 'Voil and it was with flying colorsi that we gave the junior Reception and hnally closed the year with a gala day at Horseshoe Lake. llow proud we were when we entered the portals of Old I. H. S. as
