THE SENIOR ANNUAL '24 29 . Class History HE CLASS OF '24 began its illustrious career upon its appearance in G. H. S. in September of 1920. We were told that we were too green to organize as Froshg but in September of '21 we decided that we had absorbed enough knowledge to warrant organization. Accordingly, we chose William Packard, Dorothy Dixon, Clara Petersen and Floyd Rhodes for the offices of president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer respectively. At the same time we chose rose and grey as our colors. Here began our action, At Hallowe'en we planned to entertain the Frosh with a masquerade. A misunderstanding occurred with the faculty due, doubtless, to some greenness acquired in our Freshman year not yet over- come, but we, undaunted as ever, departed kit and cargo to the Y. M. C. A. and held our party. In September of '22 we elected Henry Page president, Chrissie Curtis vice-president, Clara Petersen secretary and james Prince treasurer, to pilot our course through our junior year. This year we 'selected cerise and silver as colors. On November 3 the Seniors con- descended to give us a party, and on April zo we returned the compliment according to custom, In May came the speaking contest and Dorothy Dixon, Clara Petersen, Henry Page and Charles Stolp were chosen to beat the Seniors for us. Although luck was against us, we humbled the Seniors by holding them to a 3-2 victory. We wound up the year with a rousing picnic at Owasco. September '23 began our much anticipated Senior year. To start the year right we began holding those noisy Senior meetings and after several of them, William Shankwiler was elected president, Alice Goodelle vice-president, Dora Long secretary, and Grove Nagel treasurer. We planned to get busy with the High School News right away and so elected Chrissie Curtis editor-in-chief. ln October we held a dance at the Masonic Temple which started our activities. ln November we gave a poverty party for the juniors. Uur next dance was in November at the Masonic Temple in honor of the football team. In De- cember, during Christmas vacation we held our Christmas dance at the Hobart gymnasium and in May our last dance was held at the Masonic Temple, On December 14th we gave the i'Charm School as our Senior play. The success of this is beyond my comment. In May we again competed in a speaking contest and were this time victorious. Chrissie Curtis, Ada Nelson, Grove Nagel and Derwin Laws won the honors for us. The week before the contest the juniors held a party in our honor. Now that the story of our career is done, we will leave it to posterity to comment on our success. '
