HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 26 N THE morning of September 5, 1922, twenty-five bashful Freshmen entered the Eau Claire High School. Oh! Did we slink through the doors in fear of the boisterous Soph? No! We started right in like old hands at the game. Of course the matter of organizing was quite new to us, but we were informed that we should do so to elect our class officers. So we chose Mary Abbs as president, Russell Tidey as vice president, Gail Bowers as secretary and Eldon Bowman as treasurer. For our colors we chose lavender and gold. The pansy was chosen as the class flower and Miss Hewitt as class chaperon. We furnished much amusement for the other classes when we forgot to go to class, and some of us even went to the wrong classroom and did many other things that all “Freshies” will do. Five of our Freshman boys entered the basket ball world, but since they are Fresh- men. they have not gained prominence, but prospects for their future are good. Miss Voigt has been frequently annoyed by the outbursts of our class comedian. ‘Pete” Birkholm, and at the same time trying to teach us “Freshies” how to twist our tongues with the terms used in Latin. Then, too, our principal, Mr. Balfour, and our superintendent, Mr. Dunn, were at times discouraged trying to pound Algebraic terms into our heads. Last but not least, jolly Miss Chapman makes special efforts to convey to us the art of solving problems by a much more advanced method than had been our custom in the grades. We are looking forward to high hopes and great accomplishments which will be proven to have been possible, when the class of 1926 graciously accepts their well deserved “Sheepskins of Certification.” M. A’26.
