Class of ’22 In the fall of 1918, sixty-two very frightened Freshmen enrolled themselves on the books of fame of this institution. During the first week it seemed as though they would never attain the art of being able to go to a class without first getting in the wrong room. When this feat was accomplished they felt very much at home. To show that these Freshmen were very capable, 1 want to remind you that the first thing they did was to organize the class with Karl Kellogg, president; Ted Singleterry, vice-president; Marjorie Whiffen, secretary and treasurer; and Miss Hughes as their efficient class advisor. One morning, during the early part of the year, the Freshmen startled the whole High School by having a Class Color Day and singing the “ Loyalty Song”. Before the morning was over some of the colors which had once been adorning a Freshman could be seen gaily flying from the collar of an upper classman. The organization of a Necktie Association was the next thing to be invented by these Freshmen. Their motto “Blest be the tie that blinds”, was well carried out. During October the Freshmen were very busy planning for their first party. Rumors were around that the “Night Raiders” were in full force, but neverthe- less on the night of the party the Freshmen turned out in full force. Later on in the year they invited the whole High School to a second Freshmen party. The rest of the year was spent in the general grind of school work. The Sophomore year was started with forty-five members. One of the first events was the election of officers. The officers elected were; president, 'Fed Singleterry; vice-president, Russell Stephens; secretary, Marjorie Whiffen; treasur- er, Richard Drees. Soon afterward came our party, which was the only party given by the Soph- omores that year. This year was far less conspicious than our Freshman year. The Junior year began with the loss of only three members. A class meeting was held at the beginning of school. Leroy Phelps was elected president; Robert Knoblauch, vice-president; and Richard Drees, secretary and treasurer. In spite of equal “sufferage” the boys were determined no girl should be elected to any office, and they accomplished their purpose. At the beginning of school the Juniors gave a party, each one asking a guest. This party did not prove as successful as the parties of the previous years. After the Wheaton-Downcrs Basketball game the Juniors entertained the Basketball squads of both Wheaton and I). G. H. S. The Junior-Senior Banquet was given to the Seniors, April Ninth, under the direction of Miss Newton, class sponser. This was served in the High School. Mr. X. R.
