A History of the Class of ’23 It was September of the glorious year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and nineteen and we were Freshmen. How proud we had been to get our eighth grade diplomas and now to be so booted at and ridiculed as we marched down the aisle. It was a cruel world. As a Freshman class our historv was rather meager. Hosie Sutherland was chosen to lead us through the trials and tribulations of our Freshman year. After showing the Sophomores that we were not quite so green as we looked we had a party with them, our first step in the social world. The year was ended with a picnic at Baldwin lake. We came back strong the next fall, ready to work harder than ever before, and elected Russell Scofield class president. The first memorable event of the year was that of showing the new Freshmen their proper positions in relation to Sophomores. Then we had a party with them to show them a good time and to give them an idea of what society was like. We were becoming such an intelligent class that the Juniors craved the pleasure of our society and asked us to have a party with them. After due deliberation the favor was granted, and so we had a Junior and Sophomore party. A picnic with the Freshmen completed a very successful year. When we came back the next fall as Juniors we wondered how we could have felt so big when we were just Sophomores. For class president we chose Freeman Huntley, our star athlete. We were quite puffed up now that we were big enough to have a party with the Seniors. Instead of having the usual Junior and Senior banquet we had a real thrilling masquerade. The last social event of the year was a picnic we gave the Seniors at Baldwin lake. When fall came around again and we were IT we assumed the profound gravity and dignity which distinguishes all Seniors from their inferiors. This year, of all years, promised to be a busy one and we picked Bruce Fitzsimons as the most capable Senior to lead us through it. We started it oft with a Junior and Senior masquerade. Then quite a few of us went to Grand Rapids to see Robert Mantell in “King Lear. Not long after that we brought forth the idea of having a dance every Friday night. It was agreeable to all, and so we did. We are now working hard to make our Annual the best ever and have decided upon our Senior play. Altogether we think we have made the most of this, our last vear in the G. H. S. Arnold C. Baldwin, '23. Paee Twenty-three
