Senior Class History Please don’t think we are boasting when you read this. W e are only stating facts as they are. This is the question the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores were asking when we entered P . T. II. S., September first. Nineteen hundred nineteen, “What is that bright and shining light we see where the Freshmen should be? We have continued to be that bright and shining light all through our High School career, but this being our last year we must move to a higher rung on the ladder and leave room for next year’s class. We organized our class and started on our way with John Browning, Giles Meads and Ruth Perry as our officers. Miss Bernacline Strawn was our class advisor. During this eventful year we entertained the Sophs once and ourselves once. When we met as Sophs a few changes were made. Our class advisor having deserted us, we had to find another and this time the task fell to Miss Mildred Seymour. The officers for that year were Julius Dillon. Ellen Burkhart, and Duppe Rea. During our Sophomore year we were entertained by the Freshmen and again we entertained ourselves. Both parties were considered a success by all who attended. That year we fairly shone in athletics—in both football and basketball. Our class team won the first class tournament. We were very proud and happy when we met as Juniors, because we were now looked upon as higher classmen. That year our officers were Wendell Frier, president; Margaret Bentley, vice-president; Ruby Aiken, Secretary; Ruth Stilley, treasurer. We decided we could do no better than keep Miss Seymour as class advisor. We entertained the Sophomores at a Hallowe’en party, and then next was the Junior-Senior Prom which w s a great success. As Juniors we held a high place in Music, Dramatics, Athletics, and in class room work. At last! We have reached the goal and are dignified Seniors. The officers chosen to transact our business this year are George Knapp, president; Arthur Roberts, vice-president; Margaret Bentley, secretary; John Browning, treasurer. Our first social event of the year was a guest dance given in the Elk’s Hall. The greatest social event of the year, the Junior-Senior reception was a very pretty affair. Clarence” was given by the class at the Capitol theater, and it was a great success. We owe much of our success during our high school career to the sound advice of our advisor, Miss Seymour. 23
