THE SPUD SI. Class of 1916 President ....................................Donald Spencer Vice President.....................................Irene Rice Secretary-Treasurer.............................Marian Mote Athletic Representative.........................Resta White On a bright September morning In the year of 1912 Came a bunch of loyal Freshmen To the High School, there to delve. Thus the class of ’16, starting, Grew and grew and grew until They were Sophomores, true and loyal In the High School on the hill. At first we numbered over fity Laughing girls and jolly boys, Now, alas, we number forty, But these good students sure are joys. Our sponsor, Miss Canfield you know, Is sure a dandy, with lots of go Altho a sneak day she did not permit, She is right there when it comes to grit. This passed we th eFreshman year And we became Sophomores. We studied then of Caesar On far and distant shores. In assembly we had not a very good name, For stunts were pulled off, and slippers the same, Which surely will ruin the High School’s good fame. Our class colors, the Pink and the White, We will guard and protect with all of our might. And when into Juniors and Seniors we grow The class of ’16 will not be found slow

Til E SPUD 23. Class of 1917 President ...................................Hugh Davenport ice President......................................Thelma Fitzpatrick Treasurer ..................................Mabel Grassman Secretary.............................................Della Holsten Seargent-at-Arms...........................Vernon Hamilton Athletic Representative.............................Matilda Frankie I he freshmen Class of 1917, have now completed one year of High School work. Several of our girls entered into athletics and were strong enough in this work, new to them, to almost wholly comprise the second team in Basket Ball. The boys also showed their ability in this sport. On April 3, a Freshman program entitled “Gartenhaus” was rendered and proved quite effective. The play typified an old fashioned school, Howard Bennett taking the part of the “professor” and about twenty-five Freshmen the parts of pupils. “Opening Exercises” consisted of a song “Gartenhaus” abundantly and cleverly illustrated by car toons. Then followed English and Geography classes, in which all distinguished themselves. Probably the most applauded feature was the cartoons. These were designed and drawn by Jeanette Haney. Three members of the Freshmen class, Mable Grassman, Neva Howe, and Tressa Vandervoort, entered the declamatory contest. Mable Grassman won first place in Humorous in local contest. On March 18, a meeting was called and the class colors were changed from Old Rose and Cream to Green and White. The reason being that the former colors so closely resembled those of the sophomores. Thanks are owed to our perservering class sponsor Miss Keech, who has aided us in every enterprise and encouraged us in all our undertakings. ♦ Not His Bunch—A Sunday-school teacher was quizzing her class of boys on the strength of their desire for righteousness. “All those who wish to go to heaven,” she said, “please stand.” All got to their feet but one small boy. “Why, Johnny,” exclaimed the shocked teacher, “do you mean to say that you don’t want to go to heaven?” “No, ma’am,” replied Johnny promptly. “Not if that bunch is going.”—Delineator.
