ORANGE AND BLACK THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET 1? On Saturday night, April 29, 1922, the Juniors gave a banquet to the Seniors, Faculty and Board of Education in the High School Gymnasium which was elaborately decorated with crepe paper, Japanese lanterns and flowers in the Junior colors, blue and buff, and the Senior colors, red and white. The first floor corridor was changed into a reception hall, furnished with plants, floor lamps, rugs and chairs, and the reception committee made all the guests most welcome. At 8 o’clock, Esther Mettz and Grant Whitford dressed as sailors and announced dinner and led the Grand March, which was played by Mary Cameron. The Sophomore Orchestra under the direction of Miss Gregory, and with Miss Xenia Fouts as pianist, furnished excellent music throughout the evening.

ORANGE AND BLACK JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 1? The Junior Class considers all three years as a great success. We entered as Freshmen with a class of 81. The class officers chosen were Margaret Frazier, President; John Lichty, Vice-President; and Charles Uhlig, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Rankin was chosen Class bponsor. Vve were well represented in athletics. The two most interesting events during this year were the initiation we received from the “Sophs” and our return party for them on Hallowe’en. We were represented on the Orange and black Staff by Clarence Gregg. Our next year was also conducted successfully. The class then consisted of 75 members.. Miss McAuley was Class Sponsor; Elmer Massey, President; Clarence Gregg, Vice-President; and Mildred Alder-fer, Secretary and Treasurer. We were highly pleased with the success of our Freshman reception which was mostly due to the efforts of our Sponsor. We were represented in athletics by Cleo Hoffman and Lydia Wulf, members of the Girls’ Basket Ball Team; Henry Scheitel and Elmer Massey on the Football Team; Berlyn Shields, Seward Jones and Elmer Massey on the Baseball Team. As Sophomores we were represented on the Staff by Berlyn Shields. The Junior Class, which now consists of 58 members, held its first class meeting September 23, 1921. The following officers were elected: Cecil Crook, President; Cleo Hoffman, Vice-President; Wilma Coatney, Secretary and Treasurer; and Miss Harris, Class Sponsor. On October 4, a meeting was called for the election of three members of our class to the Advisory Board. The three were Charles Uhlig, Helen Lichty and Elmer Massey. A Junior-Senior Skating Party was given about the first of December. An inter-class Basket Ball Tournament took place in December. The Juniors are glad to say that their team was the Champion Team, beating the Seniors by only one point. We received our class rings and pins about the first of February. We were highly pleased with them. A very interesting program was put on to the credit of the class. Our program consisted mainly of Musical Numbers and an impersonation of the teachers. The Juniors were awarded first place in the highest percentage of tickets to the double header basket ball game with Hiawatha, In Football we were represented by Berlyn Shields, Captain ’22, Melvin Johnson, Murray Whit-ford, Donald Lovelace, Cecil Crook, and Elmer Massey. The letter men in Basket Ball were Berlyn Shields, Cecil Crook, Elmer Massey and Murray Whitford. Cleo Hoffman and Lydia Wulf represented the class on the Girls’ Basket Ball Team. Although no track events have taken place we are honored by having four of our men constantly training. This year we are represented on the Orange and Black Staff by Elmer Massey, Class Representative, and Wilma Coatney, Assistant Editor. As to the success of our class this year we must not forget our Class Sponsor. Had it not been for her ideas and work, we most probably would not have made so good a record. E. M. ’23. Page Twenty
