Hhr lain January (Claas ’Talk about all your classes, but talk louder about the 1910 January graduating class, for it certainly was great. The class was organized for three school terms, the first term being the second semester of the Junior year. At the first class meeting. Russell Iollefson was elected President; and having seen his duty and nobly done it. he was re-elected for the following term. When he retired from the President’s chair, it was with the honor of having had a full year as the ruling head of the class. Elizabeth Alton, who was, at Commencement, our Valedictorian, kept the elaborate records of the class for these two terms. The vice president. Viola Vander Horck, often relieved Russell of his burdensome duties of president, when either dinner or football practice interfered with his attendance. The treasurer of the class for two terms, Douglas Elliot, hoarded enormous sums, and did not escape and go traveling in foreign lands on the money which was in his keeping. The first class party was given at the home of Bernice Reed. Different games were played, and dancing was one of the amusements of the evening. A final feature was good things to eat. The second class party was an out-door party, on Sophia Hall’s lawn. Many games, that brought back recollections of earlier days, afforded much amusement, after which refreshments were served. The last party, which was given in the last term of the Senior year, was a roaring success. A large crowd of Seniors and many invited guests assembled at the home of Antoinette Olson, where we played a great number of novel and pleasing games. Two flashlight pictures were taken, refreshments most delicious were served, and a very delightful evening was enjoyed. Harlan Smith, who later proved to be one of the most renowned actors of the class, was elected president for the last term. To him fell the arduous duties of piloting us past the rocks of the class play and the memorial, and through the shallows of Commencement time to the graduation platform. In his many duties he was ably assisted by Agnes Rooney, who held the chair of vice president. She it was who presided over the many debates concerning proper apparel, such as the momentous question of gloves or no gloves. Her common-sense advice helped to settle satisfactorily many vexing questions. Our treasurer. Russell Tollcfson. had his hands full, keeping track of all the tardy class dues. Under Russell’s bookkeeping, the class did not go into bankruptcy, as many people believed we would, but came out with about forty-nine dollars, which was left to the school as a start for a locker fund. So, here’s to the 1910—January class! 30
