The Class of '24 ln the fall of l921 a group of scared freshmen hopefully started out to untangle the mazes of x-y and go deep into the heart of the Lady of the Lake. In each mind was the old adage Together we stand-- and they stood together and did not fall. The first class meeting was called and Merrill johnson was elected presi- dent. Next the freshman reception was given. Next the freshman took their turn at entertaining, and gave the return reception. The next year almost the same class registered, but we found to our sor- row that we had lost our president, and so we straightway called another meeting and elected Edward Barber as president. This year we gave the freshmen a reception, and how we did enjoy putting it on those freshmen. ln this way the year passed. Last August we came back full of pep and ready for anything. We watched the preparations for the freshman reception from a distance, and looked the scared freshmen over with amused tolerance. Another class meet- ing was called and Richard Bates was elected president, Edward Barber vice president, lnez Ambrogio secretary, Anna Belle Crump, treasurer. The first really important question we were called upon to settle was where we were going to take the seniors on their outing. Arguments and confusion ran riot, and a second meeting was called. Finally it was decided to take them to the Big Trees, and it is hoped a good time was had by all. Isabelle McKinzie, '24, :sf wk af Sophomore Class I-listory Twenty freshmen commenced to attend the Galt High School in August of the year 1921. Lucille Barquist and Rodney Coupe entered later in the term. Helen Small, Dorothy Gower and Iris Thomas joined us this year and we are very glad to have them belong to our class. Margaret Leak, our secretary, has been the artist of our class, Margaret VVise the clever little advisor, and Williaill Fawcett our faithful treasurer. Geor'e Kammerer, our president, generally receives a good grade in history. Bertha Klement is our husky defender, John Shellenbarger our good debator and Lola Thomas is the baby of our class. George Greeno is our angel who always behaves. Chester Crump is the joker, Wliile Joseph Silva is the gentleman. Velma Boessow is quite sleder and Albert Calanchini, our vice president, too. For this reason they are both very good at basket ball. Matilda Altnow is our prittiest with pretty rosy cheeks, Lucille Barquist the wittiest is always on duty. Rodney Coupe is our singer and Elsie Daniels the dancer. Helen Small likes to flirt with the boys, and Josephine Germain is very quiet at times but when she gets to talking she's noisy as an owl. Dorothy Gower is a chatterer but Iris Thomas likes to quarrel with Bruce on the way to school. I cannot tell about myself so will leave it to someone else. -Felicia Gonzales, '25, . Page Seventeen

garet Colledge and Roberta Nichols. ln the junior year, those who took part in the dramatics were the same as those who took part the preceding year. The girls' basket-ball team consisted of three juniors. Marion and Beatrice were forwards and Alyce Peterson was touch center. 'By diligent practice with the remainder of the team we had a very successful season. The girls' baseball team was represented by Lucy l-lart and Marion Ran- dall of the team. Marion was lirst baseman. Otto Sargenti, Victor Crump, and Erwin lflausehildt played on the boys :First basket ball team. 'l'he base ball team was represented by the same junior boys as those who played on the team the preceding season. Time soon rolled by and on August 28th, 1922 there were more than a score of seniors walking about the hallways teasing the poor freshies. We were not too proud, however, to participate in the school events as they same along. Various members of the class were ollicers in the Student Body. They were as follows: Otto Sargenti, Clarence Hart, 'Victor Crump, Marshall Angrave, Margaret Colledge, Beatrice Orr. The Buzz Staff was composed largely of seniors as follows: Clarence Hart, Otto Sargenti, Victor Crump, lvlarshall Angrave, Margaret Colledge, Beatrice Orr, lylarnion Randall, Angelina Sargenti, Roberta Nichols and Gert- trude Fawcett. The girls' lirst basket-ball team boasted of having four seniors on the team. Marion and Roberta Nichols were the forwards, while Alyce Peterson was touch center and Margaret Colledge was one of the guards. The girls took more interest in the basketball than they ever had done before. This year there was just one senior girl on the baseball team. There is a rumor that she played baseball because she did not like to have to quit eating in order not to become lat. l-lowever, she, Lucy l-lart by name, was captain a second time, and took a live interest in the games. The boys started with great hopes of winning the cup, for Victor Crump was one of the forwards. Otto Sargenti and Erwin .Irlauschildt were guards. Each did his part toward winning the cup. There were live seniors on the baseball team and many in dramatics. They were Clarence Hart, fcaptainj, Victor Crump, Qmanagerj, Otto Sar- genti, john Crump, and Erwin lflauschildt. Most of the senior class partici- pated in the circus staged by the class. The seniors were also in the Buzz Show. , Four years have elapsed and we are no longer seniors. 'VVe owe our sheepskins to our teachers and parents who have helped us throughout the four years. Page Sixteen

Freshman Class History High School started August 28, 1922. The freshman class numbered 51, the largest class in the Galt High School. One day at noon the freshmen were dressed up in small dresses and their faces painted so that they eouldn't be recognized. This was being done by the cruel upper classmen. Not long after it was announced that there would be a reception to give us our finished degree of initiation and admit us to the student body. The reception was a very grand affair. Everything was trimmed in green ffreshmen inclndedj. The entire evening the freshmen were treated as if they were nothing but mere children. But in spite of this all were happy and enjoyed themselves. About a month later we gave the upper classmen a return reception. 'lt was a Hallowe'n masqueradeg every one was masked and some very pretty costumes were seen. Prizes were given to the best ones. Mr. Hoffinan, as a farmer and Miss Dickenson as a black cat won the prizes. About midnight a delicious supper was served by the girls of the domestic science class. During the basket-ball season, we played several times with the Grammar School and defeated them every time but one. The class officers were elected as follows: Bennie Dresser ...........................................,.. .. ...., ..................... l Dresident James Doyle ................. .. .... ...............................
