Gone But Not Forgotten—History 1920. That’s when we Seniors first saw the world. How disappointed we were. None of us had a hair on our head, or a tooth in our mouth. We were so embarrassed that we blushed—not only in the face, but all over. But that didn’t last long. When we found out that we were destined to be Seniors, we at once assumed a bearing that befitted the dignity of the position. At six we entered grade school and for seven years we tackled text books on subjects ranging anywhere from civics on down to spelling. Unexperienced, we thought that studying was the only way to ever be a Senior. So from the first grade through the seventh we pored into our text books—and passed. Approximately half of us were Jackson pupils, and the remaining were from Wenonah. That was one day we felt as though we had already achieved Seniority. Commencement exercises were almost an exact replica of gradua- tion exercises. There were songs, declamations, speeches, and diplomas. Then came the surprise of our life. We were wrong! Studying wasn’t necessary in order to become a Senior! We found this out when we entered high school. For the first two weeks, with no studying and confinement to our desk, the life of the freshmen wasn’t far from being the proverbial bed of roses. But suddenly we were confronted with surprise number two. The freshmen weren't the privileged characters, but rather the upper classmen, and for a few days, we went around warmed by personal contact with leather that encircled their body—that is, we boys. The town was shocked in general by the-appearance of the freshmen girls who sallied forth with their dresses wrong side out. For the rest of the year the whole freshmen class taken indi- vidually, or collectively gives credit to the teachers and the teachers only, for their advance- ment and for their promotion into the sophomore group. For two years we enjoyed the privileges of upper classmen, without ever having tasted of the divine delight of being called Seniors. We are Seniors now and are employing all of our rights as you may suspect. There are approximately fifty Seniors in our class. Those fifty are practically representing the school and most activities. To show this, we point only to the facts that the majority of leaders in both Hi-Y Clubs, the Student Council, Dramatic Club, Speaking and Debating Club, Publica- tion Staff, Basketball, Baseball, Football, and Choral Club are Seniors. We are proud because our Senior class is putting out the largest annual Wilson has ever known, in spite of the fact that we will be the last to graduate from Wilson's residence. Our activities for the year have included the Senior play, given in November, the annual, Junior and Senior party, and finally the crowning achievement of Commencement and Gradu- ation. In addition to this, we have left a fund to the class of ’38, as a starter for the 38 annual. So far this has been history. Any more would be prophecy. To make a complete biography would be to tell of college days, working days, or marriages, and achievements. These things will come in our lives, and as a second dedication we will forever be thankful to Wilson in general, but to the faculty in pawticular, for having so molded onr character, that these things may be goals rather than our obstacles.
