Senior Class History 'Twas a bright and clear August morning when twenty-eight timid little freshmen mustered up courage to face the three other classes which con- sidered themselves wise and dignified. Some of the freshmen were quiet enough to hear the seniors admiring our class before many days had flown hy. Searcely had one week of school gone by before the freshies found themselves being smeared with the powder, rouge, lip-stick and eye-brow pencils of the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There were so many of us that the boys were forced to wait until another day for their share because the girls' material was extinct by the time the rounds had been made. Then after marching us a1'ound the building a few times in costumes we were sent to our classes as we were. After it was all over with the upper-classmen con- cluded that we were sports enough to participate in their games. The boys were 'found to be right up to snuff. too. life were beginning to learn how much X-y equalled and some were even clever enough to say Yo soy un burro. Several of the boys, and girls made a fine showing in athletics. Erwin Hauschildt played on the second basketball team as freshies. Vic's speed team for himself as center. Victor Crump, Otto Sargenti, and Clarence 15-Iauschildt played ton the second basket ball team as freshies. Vic's speed and agility astounded the onlookers who were accustomed to his slow gait in the classroom. Some of the girls got out on the basket ball court and showed the rest of us that they were made of some real fine athletic material. Marion Randall's height secured a place for her as forward on the 'first team. Several of the other senior girls were very good players and constituted the main part of the second team. Wlieii the baseball season opened the sophomore class was represented by Clarence llart, Victor Crump. and Erwin Hauschildt. The end of the first year was drawing nigh, much to our faithful teachers' delight. Some had d1'opped out of the class by the thirtieth of August, but nevertheless our chests were expanded when we were called sophomores. Now we are down at good hard work trying with all our might to make as good grades as we had made when freshies. Some were working at mathematics while others were discussing the Reign of Queen Elizabeth and never forgetting to pester Miss VVilson with their nonsense. As sophomores we took an active part in dramatics. Those who took part in the Buzz Show were Gertrude Fawcett, Clarence Hart, Beatrice Orr, and Angelena Sargenti. Otto and Angelena Sargenti were members of the Buzz Staff for the year 1920-21. Seven little sophies played violins, clarinets and saxophones in the orchestra. The girls' basket ball season opened with our girls on the first team, namely, lVl'arion Randall fcaptainj, Beatrice Orr, and Alyce Peterson. Great interest was manifested in girls' athletics in general, VVe made our first attempt to organize a baseball team. This year Victor Crump, Otto Sargenti, and Erwin I-Iauschildt played on the first basket ball team. Otto Sargenti and Ernest W81'd were added to our list on the baseball team. Although we did not win many games the senior boys did creditable work and are on the team yet. We were now planning our work as juniors, which we would be after the vacation was over once more. VVhen school opened our class had dwindled down to eighteen in number, but we still had the reputation of being a good class. Seven of the junior class were on the Buzz Staff. They were Clarence Hart, Beatrice Orr, Marion Randall, Otto Sargenti, Marshall Angrave, Mar- Page Fifteen
