-1-I I Mange anb Brown Senior Write-Up By ESTHER FRENCH Well does the class of '19 remember that sunny September morning when it made its first entrance into A. H. S. It came one hundred and twelve strong, and the upper classmen marveled at its great size as the lower classmen now marvel at its great achievement. The class of '19 has always led in all school activities. In athletics our men have made an enviable record, six of them being wearers of the A. Six of our men hold oflices in the boys' Cadet organization and many of the officers in the girls' Cadet organization are Seniors, the major being a member of our class. In glee club and orchestra too, the brilliancy of the class shines forth. Most of the music is fur- nished by Senior talent. Did they come out for debate? Yes! Half the debaters were Seniors. Hazel Royer, the veteran debater of the class, won an A for debate when a Junior but she came back as captain of one of the teams this year. Pep is the keynote of the class. Three other Seniors have Won A's in debate. The class of '19 has been equally zealous in patriotic work. Every member of the class belongs to the Junior Red Cross organization. To emphasize our spirit of patriotism, we can proudly say ours was the first class to attain one hundred per cent membership in the Junior Red Cross., Uur girls took a lively interest in the patriotic league and much relief work was done. When the Y. M. C. A. called for support no one slacked and calls of this kind were always generously answered. The class of '19 can well be proud of the record made by the boys who left school in answer to Uncle Sam's call to the Colors. They are Chester VanDoren, Walter White, Harold Jordan and Everett Stephens. Such loyalty is a true reflection of the ideals of our boys. One of the eight gold stars on our school service Hag represents a classman who made the supreme sacrifice for his country. Do not get the impression that the Seniors know only of work. Socially we are wide awake. The originality of the class is most marked by some of the clever stunts which were carried out at our parties. At the first Senior party the boys entertained the girls, keeping all their plans secret. The main feature of the even- ing was Friday Afternoon at a Country School, a performance staged by the Senior boys, wherein many of the girls were permitted to see themselves as others see them. The girls in turn entertained the boys at a Valentine party. The room was appropriately decorated for the event and all the stunts were very original. In this brief summary of our High School career we wish to pay due tribute to our sponsors who have so kindly advised us and helped us to surmount the many difficulties which came across our pathway.
