CLASS HISTORY Freshman Year By MARY HARRIS T' HE long expected occasion had come when we, fas l N S5 . 3 a class, assembled in the Freshman room under the Y, ,W charge of Mrs. Smith. It was in the fall of nine- ITQ teen twenty that we were ,a't last enrolled as Fresh- lf A 2371- , men of Addison High School. ll We were successfully guided through the un- forgotten course-s of mathematics and Ancient History. The semester exvaminations were l-ooked forward to with a degree of fear afnd anxiety, but were passed by nearly all of 'the class. - Several parties were h-eld during the year, including the Freshman Reception h-eld malt the home of Geraldine Rhoades. A few outsiders attempt-ed to steal our eats ' causing a little disturbance. We also gavle athletics part of our time and support. Football, bask-etball, tennis, and later baseball wer-e shared by most of our class. The Forum programs were given in th-e afternoon at the school- house. All the Freshme'n w-ere given the privileg-e of testing their ability as actors, speakers, or singers upon the stage. We were gaining knowledge to such an extent that the final exam- inations were little thought about. Only a few would have had to take them, had it not be-en for the memorable skip day' which nearly every student and Freshman participate-d in. The result was that all who skipped were required 'to 'take the final -examinations and all forms of athletics were forbidden. School closed in May with a few less in attendance, some having dropped out during the y-ear. We left school feeling that we 'hlad learned much but that we still had' much more to learn. Sophomore Year . By CECILE DUNN ' Early in September we again turned our footsteps toward school. This time we did not go with fear clutching at our hearts but with our heads h-eld hig'h and with domineering glances- toward the Freshmen. We found soats in the high-room with Mr. Marshall as our new superintendent. At our first class meetirg we discovered that our membership had decreased somewhat, but a good sized class still remained. Of course our nrst thoughts, after we had settled down and begun our studies, were turned towards parties-, of which we held several during the year. cggzjei Ell 7

Fall athletics began right away with our class well represented in the football anrd basketball teams. On the morning of November the tenth we were gr-eete-d in the main hall by a great stack of books. Om furthler investigation it was found' that these books oame from nearby rooms and We spent part of the forenoon digging around in the pile trying tio find our own. N Winter was ssooln upon us, bringing the Forum programs in which we all took part with great acting ability. K When Spring camle, w.e began at once to practice blaseball, basket- ball, tennis and track. It passed very quickly for most of us and, almost before we knew it, semester examinations were at hand. The tests were passed 'successfully by 'the majority of us. Thus we parted, each hopi-ng that w-e would all be together the n-ext fall. W Junior Year By FANNIE DAVISON , Summer vacation ended and school resuming, we met each other as Juniors. The faculty was composed' of Mr. Marshall, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Hilton, and the Misses Saun-ders and Raymond. Athletics of various natur-e were enjoyed by the members of the class. Football and basketball were played during 'the fall. Before we hardly realized the fact, winter was upon us, and' we began to pre- pare for the Forum programs. Spring' soon approached, bringing with it baseball, basketball, tennis and track. On March twenty-sixth, our class treasurer, Walt-er Dental, died which brought great sorrow to the cllass, as 'he was a cheerful and willing helper. The ninth annual J Hop was held on May tenth at Coon's dancing pavilion, Manitou Beach. It proved a success, both socially and finan- cially. Several plartiles were held, at two of which we were entertained by the classes of twenty-three and twenty-six. An 'enormous amount of electricity and oil was used' by the stu- dents in mastering chemisltry, literature, and history, these seemingly being the subjects of the year. Much time and labor were spent in decorating the church for Com- mencement, it being customary for the Juniors to perform this work. We also acted as an escort for the Seniors. Senior Year By , MARIAN HOFFMAN When the fall term of th-e year nineteen. hundr-ed twenty-three rolled around, it found a group of dignified Seniors assembled at the high school building. To be exact there were twenty-two in the class. Of cours-e things seemed to take on a very different aspect as all ob- jects vere viewed through Senior eyes. 1921 Omen?-olze
