Evvninr Qllaaa, 1917 MOTTO Ad astra per aspera COLORS Gold and White FLOWER Shasta Daisy Qllttaa Qiatnrg lt was four long years ago, when, as Freshmen, we entered Anderson High School in the Fall of 1913. XYe were thirty-two in number and with plenty of spirit and enthusiasm. Just like most other Freshmen, we were a little bewildered and it took some weeks before we accustomed ourselves to grown-up High School ways. Initiation night came all too soon for us. The upper classmen entertained us royally. but at the same time they succeeded in making us feel like genuine Freshies. 'They even went so far as to tie baby bonnets on our heads. put bibs around our neclzs, and to feed us bread and milk. A few weeks after this event we organized our class and compelled the other classes to recognize us an important factor in High School. As Sophomores we again again niet in September, 1914. but there were only twenty of us now. This year we had the pleasure of directing the initiation of the Freshmen, whom we showed no mercy. The Sophomore Hop, given to the rest of the school by the Sophomore-s, was one of the largest social events of the term Besides playing games and dancing. a banquet completed the entertainmf-nt for the evening. in 1015 twelve Juniors answered to the roll called. Then Frances Healy entered from another school, and our number was increased to thirteen. This year we dis- tinguished ourselves by purchasing for ourselves class pins of a clever aiizl charming design. As a farewell entertainment to the Seniors, we took them on an automobile tour through the Anderson Valley and Redding, and then took them to cite of the ice-cream gardens where refreshments were served. In 1916 th following nine faithful Seniors entered for their last yec-r's work: Callie Barney. Veva XVilder. Marian XYentworth, Marguerite Snell. Frant-is Healy, Gladys Awbrey, John Lamiman. Ross Shanahan. and Grace Jessen. All tl.ese will be graduates of the academic course Early in the year we organized our class with Yeva 1Vilder as President, Grace Jessen, Vice-president, and Callie Barney as Secretary and Treasurer. Mies Bammann was chcsen our class teacher. As Seniors we felt we deserved something different and newer than class pins, and so we decided to have class rings. Now that we have them we have reason to be proud of them. After much discussion we decided on gold and white as our class colors and the Shasta daisy as our flower. Ad astra per aspera was unanimously voted our motto. The Senior play, All on Account of Polly, will be presented near the close of school. Owing to small number of Seniors. students of the other classes completed the cast of characters. As a parting gift, the Seniors presented to the school a beautiful American flag. a very appropriate gift in these stirring patriotic times and a gift that is loved by everyone. . Six
