4 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD CLASS DAY EXERCISES. ADDRESS OF WELCOME Parents, Teachers, Members of the School Board, Superintendent and Friends: It is with great pleasure that I, in behalf of the class of 1922, welcome you here this evening. The time has passed quickly since we, as Freshmen, entered the Windsor Locks High School where we worked with untiring ef¬ fort for one goal—“Graduation.” To-night we are assembled here to give you an account of the humorous side of our school life, leaving the most serious part for to-morrow evening. Again let me assure you, dear friends, that we are all glad that you are with us, and that this evening will be a joyous one for us all. C. O’Leary. -(o)- CLASS SONG. Adapted by Juliet Morehouse From the Song “When Shall We Meet Again.” The fairest sky or the brightest eye May dim with the last “farewell,” But as we gather here to-night Let a smile on our faces dwell. Who knows the wherefor, the why or when, Who knows if ever we’ll meet again. Chorus: When shall we meet again Classmates this must not be the end Our four short years at dear Windsor Locks High are over, Now on life’s sea our separate lots are cast Thinking still of days in the happy past. And on some future day Our grateful tribute pay. -(o)- CLASS HISTORY. History, as we are taught, is the knowl¬ edge of facts and events. So this evening, it would seem that I should be satisfied in stating that just as with former graduating classes, we too are about to say a sad farewell to our Alma Mater, that the story of our four years in High School is no different from that of our predecessors, and that we have, in the last years, toiled with earnest hearts, and will¬ ing hands to keep up the traditions of the Windsor Locks High School. From the time we entered the Windsor Locks High School as Freshman, a diary has been kept in the minds of each one of us, so that after we leave school life and enter into life’s school, we may never for¬ get our High School Days. The time has come when the contents of the diary, the knowledge of the facts and events connected with our High School Course must be made known. The first thing of note in the diary is that, We, the Class of 1922 entered in the Windsor Locks High School, as Freshman in September 1918, thirty-one in number. A rule that applies to all classes of the High School, at all times provides that no class shall have the privilege of giving en¬ tertainments until it has reached its Junior Year. As a result of this our Freshman Year was uneventful as regards the school side of School Life. We devoted all our time and efforts to our studies and consequently were promoted to the rank of Sophomores. The opening day of school in September saw only twenty-eight of the original fresh¬ man assembled in the Main Room. As Sophomores we were still forbidden to give entertainments, so our time was spent in perfecting our studies. As a result of this determination to keep up a high standard in our school work, the whole class was promoted to the rank of Juniors. We had only two more years to go and we surely did go. The opening day of School in September found us fewer in number, but as the say¬ ing goes, Quality and not Quantity is what counts. As Juniors we were entitled to give entertainments so the first thing of note in our Junior year was a whist given in the autumn. The whist was a great success so we de¬ cided to try our hands at it again so an¬ other whist was given under the auspices of our Junior Class in the early winter, in the New Assembly Hall which was elaborately decorated with mistletoe and boughs of trees. The next thing of great interest record¬ ed in our diary is the Junior Prize Essay Contest. Though the contestants were few, only seven in number, we gave the judges no easy job in deciding the winners and when the results were made known we heard that the smallest boy in the class won
