Hifiory of 615155 of 426 In September, 1922. a group of light, aspiring and eager youngsters, not lacking the greenness characteristic of such classes, registered as Freshmen in C. H. S. We were not long, however, in acquainting ourselves with the strange surroundings and in a few weeks began school life in earnest. It was with much pride and dignity that we announced the result of our first class meeting, which was as follows: Presi- dent, Martha Stogdill: vice-president, Ezra Klinger: secretary-treasurer, Lela Reid- enbach. The first social event in which we participated was the banquet given us by the Sophomores. Vifhile Freshmen, we gave two delightful parties. one a Halloween. the other a bob-sled party. Our battle with Latin, English and Algebra was not so difficult as we had expected, and after the Iinal exams, victory reigned, we proclaimed ourselves Sophomores. Entering the Sophomore class somewhat decreased in number but still possessed with the same loyalty and enthusiasm we elected Ernest Harper, president: Evelyn Reidenbach, vice-president: Catherine Dauler, secretary: Otis Bricker, treasurer. In order to make the acquaintance of our new teachers and classmates a weiner roast was held four miles east of Convoy in a grove. On November 9th we initiated the Freshies at the annual Freshman-Sophomore banquet. The literary societies gave us the opportunity to display our various talents. XYe were also represented in the County Eisteddfod and Spelling Contest. Sadly, we realized that just half our High School days were over, after completing a most successful year as Sophomores. YVith renewed hopes and high ambitions we began our third year under the lead- ership of the following officers: President, VVayne Helms: vice-president, Inas Gard- ner: secretary, Hazel jones: treasurer, Evelyn Reidenbach. On Halloween we were entertained at an old-fashioned barn party given at the home of Inas Gardner. From parties we turned toward more serious things. In March. we gave, with. the help of the faculty and other classes, the most successful event of the season-the minstrel show. XfVho can forget the darkies of this occasion. This tinanced us in giving one of the most elaborate Junior-Senior banquets ever witnessed in C. H. S. As graduation drew near we were saddened by the fact that the class of '25 would no longer occupy the favored seats in the assembly or be seen talking in the halls. Our duty, then, was to take their place and accomplish our tasks with the same zeal and willingness which characterized them. Our Junior year was ended by taking a never- to-be-forgotten trip to Hamilton Lake. Once more we stepped into C. H. S.. but this time under the dignified title of Seniors. VVe came determined to make things go and set a standard which the other classes might follow. The otiicers elected were: VVilbur Pancake. president: Lela Reidenbach, vice-president: Inas Gardner, secretary: lfrances Mowry. treasurer. VVe were represented on the varsity team by three letter men and on the girls' team by three members of the Senior class. Everyone remembers the many banquets given in honor of our athletes. Being a very busy class with work on the Bellerophon. class play and other activities we had little time for parties. Vnder the direction of the Senior class a series of moving pictures were shown which enabled us to put out a bigger and better annual. Our success, in all that we tried to do, we partly attribute to the help and splendid advice of the faculty, especially Mr. Davis, our sponsor, since we were Sophomores. At last came the hardest thing of all-graduation. It was in the Baccalaureate sermon and commencement that we realized our motto, Not Eve- ning-but Dawn, and inspired us to use to a greater extent the knowledge acquired at dear old C. H. S. 2 .3
