§ rntnr ijistunf When we entered school four years ago, we were very timid and ambitious. However, as our class was a “live one” we soon through this stage passed. We passed through such epidemics as failure, love and marriage, and while so doing, lost a large percentage of our class. We were not very conspicuous as Freshmen, but with our Sophomore year, there came an awakening and we lead the school in social activities. In our second year we organized early, electing Esther Hart, president, Oakley Rotramel, vice president, and Da'e 15rown, secretary-treasurer. Our class was well represented in the High School play. A valentine masquerade party was given this year by the class which was very picturesque. In 1919 the Junior Class of F. C. H. S. was organized the first week of school, with Maude Musgrave, president. Lloyd Shipp, vice-president, and Helen Burpo, secretary-treasurer. With these oficers we felt that we were able to do the many tasks which present themselves to Juniors. We started the social ball rolling by giving a party in honor of the Seniors. After this came the Junior play, Junior Christmas party, Junior box supper and last but not least the Junior-Senior reception, which ended in a magnificent banquet. This year we are Seniors. Our class of officers are as follows: Gwendolyn Fox, president; William Howe'ls, vice-president; and Nina McClintock, secretary-treasurer. Our first social event was a truck ride given in order to get on intimate terms with our teachers. This was followed by a fareweU party for Miss Grosse. As we felt very proud of our B. B. team, we gave them a banquet in March. We are glad to be Seniors. We have had four happy years in which to contribute our bit to our Alma Mater; and we here advise the under classmen to make the most of their opportunities to do the same. We are the second c'ass to graduate from the newly organized community high school; and as such, we wish to thank the citizens of our community for placing such a wonderful opportunity within our grasp.

Glass of Z It was just about four years ago, (Hut we can hardly know it’s so) That we were known as Freshies, green. For swiftly flew the years between— Then came our day of Sophs so wise, And at length we entered the Junior skies. We had l een watching the Seniors so bold. And now we are Seniors—just seventeen, all told. First there is Gwen, our president, fine She seems to be fitted for that sort of line, Along comes Sylvia with her laughing ways; And Edith surpasses all with her A’s. Quiet, modest and mee': is our Opal White Now who has seen Yale out late at night? Just gaze at Luciel with her golden locks Then watch our great scientist, wise Paul Cox. Maude is our yell leader, so full of pep; Louis has as his motto “Please, Watch Your Step!” Now Ethel tells us to “Look Up; Not Down;” Why Lloyd can never at study be found ? Eagle’s great hobby is Dasket Ball, And Zelga’s is studying—if any at all. Addie’s s'ogan is “On With the Dance;” William is always gaming with chance. Miss Irene is so quiet and very demure. Sha'l Nina’s gay spirit ever know cure? Mr. Allen has the title of “Senior Advisor” And no class ever had a wiser. We hope the next class will have just as much fun We had as Seniors of Twenty-One. Our long High School days—tho not weary—now end, And we leave as a parting “Good Luck to Our Friends.”
