CLASS HISTORY THIS class is Different. That’s a good topic sentence because not only does it summarize in four words what is about to follow in 250, but it also furnishes the keynote to our claim to distinction. We started being different when we were Freshmen. We elected Cassie Arnstein president. She was a peppy girl, and for the next six months pep was our motto. Instead of discarding that worthy motto when we rose to the elevated position of High I’s, we kept it and nursed it along until it grew fast and furiously. In the next three and one-half years, our presidents were: Jane Brandenstein (familiarly known as Jane B.), Noel Walster, Beverly Fisher, Ruth Knutsen, and Doris Doepfner. During Ruth’s able administration, we gave our famous rally, Sailor Maids,” in which were featured Helen Wright, Caddy Hall, Beatrice Caro, Janice Elberg, Dickie” Arnall, Freddie Fredericks, and Louis Louisson. That rally took the school by storm. Simply carried away the day, that’s all. Why? Because it was different. During Doris Doepfner’s term, we again distinguished ourselves by winning the much coveted and fought-over Cup on S. P. A. Day. And now—here we are— Seniors. We capped the climax this term. We elected M. J. B. herself, president, and we presented an original rally—a very original rally—written by Jane B. and M. J. B. as joint authors. Of course, everyone remembers it, and always will, ’till the cows come home. It was a dramatization of L. Frank Baum’s famous Oz books, and in the cast, which was really a remarkable one, were Bee Caro, Muriel Ireland, Jane B., and M. J. B., Muriel Rothermel, Caddy Hall, Maxine Bohr, Helen Brown, Lolly Sommers, Olive Hindshaw, Elizabeth Burnell, Frances Levy, Alice Ferguson, and Anne Levin. It doesn’t seem like four years since we were little 1-A’s, fighting for recognition, playing games in the yard at noon, and getting violent cases on older girls—it seems like four days—four long, beautiful days. 24
