Jtiarumt aitb llUiite (Class Kistnru C i 5 As Freshman: Hate in the year of 1923, we started in as Freshman. We had gained enough information from our elders to know that we were to hold a meeting and elect officers. As class sponsor we elected Mr. Taft. For president we elected Felix Kaikouski; vice president. Evangeline Whalen; secretary, Mary Brown; and treasurer. Evelyn Wolfe. Before the year was out our upj er classmen had many a laugh at our e ])ense. hut all Freshmen are green and we’ve had many a laugh since. As Sophomores: We were not quite so green this year, hut we still had a great deal to learn. In looking over the records, we found a few of our classmates had fallen by the wayside, which meant that each remaining one must carry more on his own shoulders. This year we reelected Mr. Taft as sponsor. For president we elected Evangeline Whalen; vice president. Arlene Hastings; secretary and treasurer. Eugene Mitchell. As Juniors: Yes, more had dropped out of our ranks and we had only nine left. But we managed someway. We elected Mr. Walter as class sponsor. We elected as president, Maliel McOmber; as vice president, Arlene Hastings; and as sec- retary and treasurer, Albert Schram. We gave a play, “My Irish Rose,” which was a big success. We also put on the Junior-Senior Banquet, and as Juniors always play a minor part in graduation, we were very busy during that week. As Seniors: Hurrah, all nine of our class came back. We hope none will leave liefore May. For class sponsor we elected Mrs. Fetzer. For class officers we elected as president. Eugene Mitchell; vice president, Katherine Hosbein; secretary, Alma Tinkham; treasurer. Mamie Rosenberg. The main feature in the early part of the year was our play. “The Touchdown.” The most important achievement this year is our annual which, as this history goes to press, is advancing in a desirable way.
