We feel that we were well represented in athletics in the season of '17 and ’ltf, both in football and basketball. )n the football team were our illustrious stars, I)ewev Iloy.

It seems that the Senior girls quite outnumbered us this year on the girls' first team, but we hope to make a better showing next year. In the plays given for the lied Cross many Juniors participated, and no doubt in a few years we shall have a second Sarah Bernhardt who was once a member of the F. II. S. Class of 'lit. To the departing Seniors and faculty we extend greetings and sincere good wishes for a bright and happy future. Though there have been dissensions, the predominant feelings are ones of good-will and fellowship, and we bid them farewell with deep regrets that we shall no longer be permitted to associate as co-workers and friends in dear Falls City High School. ‘aye Twenty four

JUNIOR The ('lass of 1911) finishes another successful veal of school life. Next year we shall answer to the name of “Signified Seniors'- and we shall have many regrets in leaving old F. ('. II. S. Our number has diminished since we entered high school, but we hope to leave an echo as a reminder of the Class of '19. One member of our class, Alvin Farlow, has joined the colors. Me has been in the Radio School at Mare Island. California, for some time, and from the reports we receive he is doing very good work. We are certainly proud that one of our classmates is doing his “bit in this way. The many others who cannot show their patriotism in this way are doing so in other lines of service. We have purchased a Liberty Bond, donated ten dollars to the V. M. C. A., and contributed to tin general fund of tin Junior Red ( ross Society. lo assist Mr. Hoover and Lucie Sam in the matter of conservation we have decided to have a Junior-Senior reception instead of the traditional bancjuet. Both Juniors and Seniors consider that conservation and thrift are patriotic duties and that nothing else would be permissible at this time. Taye Twenty three NOTES Our class officers whom we selected last fall were: Halcyon Whitford. president; Wallace Abbey, vice-president, and Hay Gantt, secretary-treasurer. Later Hay found it necessary to resign, and ilbur Story was duly elected to fill that office. Miss (iurnea is our sponsor and we thank her for her untiring efforts in assisting the class through their many trials and tribulations. We also wish to thank all of the officers for their loyalty and faithfulness to the (’lass of ’ll). The purchase of the Junior ('lass rings and pins was a subject of long and heated discussion. After due deliberation and careful concentration we de- ided upon the style. Some Seniors were heard to remark that they thought them much lovelier than their own. This is a much appreciated compliment from our formidable, condescending enemy — the Seniors. We Juniors, too, were very much pleased with them and though we are widely separated in after years, we shall always recognize any friend (?) who wears the emblem of the F. (’. II. S„ (’lass of 10. Ofttimes pins and rings are separated from their owners, but the owners can usually be found.
