Harold has a manner of his own. Indeed, he’s an awful tease Perhaps he wants us all to think He likes a girl named Pease. Miss Mabel has such flirty eyes The boys all call her friends; Ah! She pretends she’s so demure, But her ways she’ll have have to mend. Our Senior star is Bill Van Koughnet, Of all kinds of sport a lover Ho says such things in English class, From which we scarce recover. Helen Pease is another girl Whose grace and beauty we praise. She’s a leader in her classes. And also in class plays. At last this poem is written; I know it is quite long. There’s just one Senior not in it, And she’s the one who wrote the song. Our members are all counted now; You’ve heard of every one, And since there is no more to tell This jingle then is done.

Senior’s Virtues The Senior Class of ’22, I’m sure you’ll all agree, Is certainly the finest class That there could ever be. Our boys are brave, our girls are fair, Our class the largest, too, The standards we make, the records we break. Show what our class can do. I’ve sung about the class itself, And that’s all very well; But each one’s private virtues, next, Are what I’m going to tell. Jean M. is our president; In choosing we did well. For in Senior plays; and speeches, too, She surely does excel. Miss Arline Carter, tho quite sedate, In truth is only shy For once I caught her looking out The corner of her eye! Miss Lydia who has so many beaus We wonder who she’ll pick One at a time they come too woo. To please they must act quick. Our baseball pitcher Russell is; Of him we’re very proud; Wherever he begins to twirl Leads us and all the crowd. Carol Thompson is a quiet child, And is very meek and good; She never talks back to her teachers dear. And always does Just as she should.

History of Class of ‘22 This Senior class of 1922 of the Wilson High School was organized in September, 22, 1920 under the name of Junior. There were at that time eleven members. We chose for our motto ‘.Victory Crowneth Perseverance” and our class colors were blue and gold. We held our meetings In the Northeast classroom nearly every week and all our business was transacted at this time. We were entertained by the Seniors of ’21 and in turn the Juniors entertained them. On the night of the graduation of the class of ’21, we were no longer Juniors but became in one sense dignified Seniors. This ends the history of our Junior years. Our Senior class '22 was organized on September 14, 1921. We chose for our motto ‘‘Be yott yourself” and our class colors, green and white. There were nine members in our new class, seven of whom were in the Junior class. During the year there was only one addition to our class outside of one particular instance, when a certain person of very good character tried to enter our class and graduate for the second time. Once ought to be enough! And although we wanted very much to 'have him join us we were unable to allow because Article XV, Section 30471, of our Senior Constitution reads ‘‘Any person wishing to graduate from the Wilson High School for two successive years, and also be a member of the Senior class, must begin as a Freshman and continue until he again reaches the Senior year.” Our friend, however, did not follow' this course, and had to be content with only graduating once. Our Senior year in the High School has been a very successful one. We tried and did accomplish many things which we hope will be, not only a benefit to ourselves, but also to our fellow students who follow in our footsteps, and to the school itself, that it will derive some small good from our having been here. The first thing w’hich wre did of any importance was to decide upon a Washington trip and the means of raising money for our expenses. We started in February to hold candy sales, which were a remarkable success, considering: we made the candy. Then we decided on a play.
