The Class of 1919, though not the largest that ever entered our High School, has an abundance of pep and school spirit. The enrollment at the beginning of their career was forty-eight. Of this number only nineteen graduated. From the beginning we were successful in all we undertook. We always won in ticket selling contests, and when the interclass games came up we were never defeated for the first three years, winning the basketball championship in our Junior year. With the help of our sister class of the off numbers, we always were victorious in the football games. In our Senior year, our girls lost the basketball championship to the Junior girls, but the boys won in their games. In our Freshman year we were a bunch of students with varied ideas as to how a class should be run, but by the time we had reached our Senior year, we had learned to harmonize those ideals. The nineteeners have always been distinguished in some way. In our Sophomore year, Harry Coker, of our class, held the highest grades in the High School. In our Junior year, our class won the first and second prized in the short story contest. It would be hard to tell of the achievements of this group of enthusiastic students, for they have accomplished much, yet they always carried out their motto "Impossible in Un-Amicerican," and what more could be said that this? - P.B. |
