History of Class '03. CELEs'rIA EDDY. I-us YEAR of 1903 sees our class as Seniors and we are called upon to give an account of ourselves from our entrance into the High School up to the present time. It would probably he much better for the preservation of our present dignity if nothing be said of our Freshman year. except that we were here on the earth. The second year saw us a little older, our greenness a little faded and our dignity much increased. Many interesting events occurred in the course of that year, among them the organization of the Estabrook Fraternity. And then came our Alunior year! The year of successes and failures and the .lunior Exhibition. XVhat words can ex- press our enjoyment of that soul-inspiring music, which our friends, the Seniors. so generously provided on that fatal night? But now! Studious. careworn, brows deeply furrowed, We sit before ,you all. Stop and rcverently observe ns. For XV6,1'G the Seniors tall. This year's happy life was so rudely interrupted by the very sudden death of our beloved superintendent and in- structor, Mr. George. The immediate sad days that followed will not soon be forgotten by any of us. But, of course, our work had to continue and by the united endeavor of both teachers and pupils this work has been carried to a successful close.

NVe have in our midst several who deserve honorable mention. Our able orator, Mr. Horen, who so distinguished himself in the Oratorical Contest at Clevelandg our debaters, Mr. Burke and Mr. Gass, who need no introductiong our artists, Miss Hubbell and Miss NVortley, and our musicians, who are so modest they must not be named. Surely these are a goodly company! VVe claim the presidents both of the Beta Nu and the Sigma Delta, and the greater part of our class is enrolled among' their members. In athletic, literary, and social efforts we are not lacking. Glad though we may be to start out into the world and to take up our life work, we all have a feeling' of regret at leaving the school, and we hope to make such men and women of our- selves as shall be a credit to our Alma Mater.
