 THE SPUDPICKER JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Oneta Hucke, President. Margaret Wilcox, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Edith L. Melvin, Class Sponsor JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1923 we entered High School feeling quite proud of our former accomplishments and determined to some day become noted Seniors. We were initiated into our High School life by a day known as the Freshman Day. Each of the other classes had made rules which we were to follow during this day. We were compelled to walk by taking two steps forward and one backward and were not allowed to talk to any other person in the assembly except to our instruct- ors. If we disobeyed any of these rules we were to pay the penalty that evening at the initiation entertainment given by the other classes of the school for the Freshmen. After an evening of enjoyment as well as some suffering, we returned to our homes and were able to return to school the following Monday morning, The Seniors, however, were not satisfied. They gave each one of us a green ribbon bow which we were to wear so that everyone would know we were Freshmen. We were to wear this ribbon the first semes- ter unless the Freshman boys were able to defeat the Senior boys in a basket ball game. The Freshmen boys were defeated though, and so we were compelled to wear the ribbons until the end of the semester. The second semester we entered school feeling much more experienced and confident of ourselves than we had the first semester. The members of the class were Doris McKinstry, Florence Plananasky, Neil Gibson, Paul Utterback, Willard Donovan, Viola Ustohal. Marvin Nelson, Tessie Plahn, Bernice Osborn, Dean Badger, Ella Bunce, Glenn Moravek, John Laeger, Bernice Baldwin’ 16
