{Junior Class Jjistorp OH that day, in the fall of 1923 when as a class of happy-go-lucky, hot-ally dreading freshmen, we embarked upon the sea of High School Life. Little we knew of Latin or Mathematics,—“ignorance is bliss”—we were blissful. A worthy set of officials were elected that year, John Pearson, president, Gordon Scoville, vice-president, Maxine Yost, treasurer, Margaret Lambert, secretary and Elizabeth Reed, class reporter. All the “frosh” social functions which included several parties and picnics were highly successful which helped our “fresh year to slip quickly and mercifully by. As “Sophs” the old class came back having outgrown fully their chief characteristic of the preceding year—“the shamrock hue.” A class meeting was held in which Ted Masters was elected president, Margaret Lambert vice-president, Julia Skeen secretary and treasurer. Miss Yont, now Mrs. Maclay, was elected Sponsor. During the first year Ted Masters was our only letter man, he earned his in basket ball, but in our Sophomore period Bill Keyt made a letter in basket ball and track and Ted one in football and another in basketball. Don Maclay played a fast forward which won h'm a letter also. Kathryn Rohrs represented us on the Debating team as well as winning first place in the Dramatic section of the Declamatory contest and representing Auburn at Omaha in the district contest. Dorothy Greenlee also took part in Declamatory work. Our Basketball team of both this year and last has won the class tournament as well as giving the faculty a mighty nice trimming. Our Sophomore year slipped by and at last—the glorious, the great, the hoped for, has happened—we are Juniors! Yes there is no doubt but that we are about the best Junior class that has occurred for quite a spell! Since last year no doubt, at the least. Our Junior Class Play, “Stop Thief,” went over big. The characters were well acted and interpreted. Space prohibits a more detailed discussion of the play. The money goes to feed the Seniors, what little there was left. Our class officers of this year are Donald Maclay president, Eugene Rarick vice-president, Margaret Lambert secretary and treasurer. The class has contributed quite heavily to the athletic events this last year. Eugene Rarick, Paul Armstrong, Ted Masters, and John Pierson making letters in football. William Keyt, Donald Maclay, Eugene Rarick, and Ted Masters, fought for and earned their letters in basketball. Ted was this year’s captain and helped pilot the team through a most successful season. In the non-athletic field John Pierson represented us on the Debating Team and Dorothy Greenlee took first place in the Dramatic Section of the Declamatory contest. Now the future looks prosperous and if some terrible and unforeseen calamity does not overtake us I am sure it will prove to be so. The only regret we have is the fact that out of the seventy-five who started out with us some twenty have disappeared. However we are well prepared for the position which we will take next year as dignified and very brilliant Seniors. [28]
