The Sped Page 20 Seniors of 1921 ACT ONE. The first of September, in 1917, eighty-two badly frightened, knowledge seeking wanderers strayed up the hill to A. H. S. We entered with mouths open, fearing even the kindly looks of Mr. Pate and Mr. Crawford. We soon recovered our fright and after regaining our usual self composure elected our class officers. President .............................................John Shreiner Vice President .....................................William Cotant Secretary and Treasurer......................Fima Calder Spud Rep.....................................Marie Howe Sponsor .....................................Miss Canfield In all enterprises which we entered we were very successful hut we were certainly glad when our first year of A. H. S. was completed. ACT TWO. The next year we came back smaller in numbers but more determined to gain the rest of the knowledge of A. H. S. in one year, that we might rest the last two years. We elected the following class officers who successfully filled their offices: President ...................................Wanda Adams Vice President ..............................James Fowler Secretary and Treasurer......................William Cotant Spud Rep..................................Helen Anderson Sponsor .....................:............Mr. Messersmith At the close of this year we felt the hardest part of school life successfully over. ACT THREE. In 1919 only 48 of us entered A. H. S. but we were so filled with knowledge that we successfully occupied the Junior rows. We however, did not feel as we did at the close of our Sophomore career, that we knew everything. We were only beginning to realize how much de did not know. Our offfficers were: President ...................................Mary W ool is Vice President ..............................Helen Young Secretary and Treasurer.........................Marie Howe Spud Rep..................................W’illiam Cotant Sponsor ..................................Mr. Messersmith Our banquet was one of the most elaborate A. H. S. had ever given and we will alwavs remember it. ACT FOUR. The curtain now rises on 36 Seniors who are duly proud of their position in the honored two north rows in the A. II. S. assembly. After electing these officers:— President .......................................Tom Miller Vice President............................William Williams Secretary and Treasurer ..................Dorothy Reynolds Spud Rep..................................Elizabeth Wilson Sponsor ..................................Mr. Cunningham —we were ready to settle down to rest, but our rest has been interrupted. A picnic at Harris grove and a parly in the gymnasium for the Sidney boys first broke our rest. In all A. H. S. activities the class of ’21 has been well represented and these interrupted our rest. Our class plays both as Juniors and Seniors were very successful. Although we will soon leave the stage of Alliance school life we will never forget four of the happiest years of our lives. May those who follow enjoy it as we have. CURTAIN.
