It was during this year that the High School pupils were entertained by the Faculty. The party was given in the honor of St Patrick. The color scheme green and white was carried out in the decorations and refresh- ments. Progressive games were played. Other parties also took place during this year. The Junior year was a very interesting year with its fun during school hours, its parties, hikes and the competition with the Seniors. Only sixteen out of the original Twen- ty-two were left to take part in these good times. The officers of the year were: president. Haver Giddings. vice president. Alice Samples, secretary and treasurer. Leonora Hansen. One of the principal events of this year was the entertainment of the Seniors at an informal reception at the Commercial Club rooms. September sixth nineteen sixteen raised six girls and four boys to the dignity of Seniors. The officers were Leonora Hansen president. Haver Giddings secretary and treasurer. About two weeks after the opening of the school, the Freshmen were initiated and ad- mitted informally into the midst of the High School activities by the Senior reception in their honor. At the end of the first semester three were added to the class, one a former resi- dent of Iowa and two, whose intellectual abilities rendered them capable of finishing High School in three years. '1 he ‘‘Aggie party and the party given for the Seniors by the Freshmen class were very sucessful. So was the Senior-Junior class play, “The Dream that came True,” given in both Brush and Hillrose. 'I'lie days are fast fleeting. In a few weeks we will no longer be active members of Brush High. As a parting gift we leave our one great success, the beginning of the Annual, which will induce all to agree that the class of 1917 has not lived in vain. J. A. B. Page Fifteen

THE SUMMARY Senior Class History The Freshman entered the assembly timidly, almost noiselessly, and even tho’ brave, lie unconsciously clutched at bis friend's arms or shoulder. A hasty glance all around and solemn- ly, even cautiously, he slipped into a vacant seat. How large was the great Assembly Hall, how numerous the seats, how stern the teachers! How great were the seats, how numerous the rows, between him and the Seniors. How very dignified, all important those Seniors were! How much more attention they command than all the twenty-eight grinning Freshies combined. He turned, smiled sardonically at his neighbors, then with an air of composure and many shiftings of feet, settled himself comfortably in bis seat. So began the first day of High School life. The election of class officers took place soon after the beginning of school. Alice Samples was elected president. Haver Giddings vice president and Grace Stryker secretary and treasurer. One interesting event which took place was the class fight for colors; Freshmen-Jun- ior versus Sophomore-Senior. The Sophomore-Seniors were the lucky winners. At the beginning of the second year, six were absent leaving twenty-two to represent the Sophomore class. The officers for this year were Gravce Stryker, president, Alice Sam- ples, vice president. Florence Knearl, secretary and treasurer. Page Fourteen

THE SUMMARY Class Poem Here's to the class of 1917 A better class has ne’er been seen. A jolly bunch anti a happy one The best old class beneath the sun. And we will still press onward From the place we leave today, And we shall e’er be climbing Nor loiter on the way. Our childhood days passed quickly Which we so much regret; For we loved them very dearly And them we’ll ne’er forget. Front homelife we entered our school career Became acquainted to ways with us strange We felt no desire at all to ask why; In our lives there had been such a change.
