A an FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY .. . . . ,. . Hy ll 111111111 .llrly1't'.tl11.v.t l11.vl1:1'11111 Xt the first meeting of the new class of 11:23 the officers were elected to serve for the school year. The class gave the honors to the following: Lewis Lfrownover, President: Williani Xlcliee. Yice President: Norman Deuel, Secretary, and Knisely NVagner as Custodian of the XYampuin. .Xffairs went tranquilly on. with the treasurer working hard to get the dues and the foot ball team steadily meeting defeat, .-X few meetings were held to decide on the whys and wherefores of the first class party. It was the intention of the class to have a doggie roast at a farm near Klitllin, but inclement weather caused it to be changed to the Market llall. So in October the wonderful affair was held. .Xs a whole, it was a howling success. mostly howling. and was greatly enjoyed. Things passed along quietly until basket ball season camel then things began to get interest- ing. The class had ten fast contenders for the team and from them the champs were chosen. The first move after picking the team was to order uniforms. lfrom the very first appearance in the new green togs the team began to win and defeated the Seniors for the championship title. tin the memorable night of battle the l reslunan adherents packed one side of the gym and kept the noise in proportion to their size. Immediately after the battle the victors were given a feast. QX fter this plans were made to hold another party and it was decided to hold it in the Wollner building. .Xfter many preparations the date was set for XYednesday, Xlarch 25th. This was not so largely attended as the other, but was more successful due to the fact that there was some system used. .Xt the track meet the honor was let go to the juniors, as it would not have been right to take two championships. llut even if we lost the meet, we beat the Sophs out for third place. There are only two questions of vital importance waiting upon the decision of the members of the class of 1923. The first is. to pass or not to pass the final exams. and the second, which depends upon the decision made in regards to the first question is to be or not to be a Sophomore. It is expected that IQZ3 will be the best and greatest class in l,. ll. S. again next year.

September, IQI7, marked a great epoch in the annals of l.. ll. S. when the grand old class of '21 entered the school. ,Xs lireslnnen, we took a prominent part in athletics, getting second place honors in the initial year in the lnter-Class llasket llall League. which is now a yearly oc- currence. ln track, although we didn't get either first or second place. our men obtained points in every event they entered. and nothing' but the fact that only a few represented our class. helped to destroy our chances for first place. .Xs Sophomores, we were more successful, as we realized that we really were an important part of L. H. S. XVe aided greatly in the Red Cross. Liberty llond, and other worthy drives which took place during the Wlorld XYar. XYQ obtained loo per cent. enrollment in the Red Cross only a day after the world wide plea for membership. and we aided materially in the selling and pur- chasing of Liberty llonds. Our basket ball season was not very successful. but we demonstrated our ability in track, carrying' away first honors. ln the final track meet of the year, one of our men took first place in every event he ran and obtained more points than any other L. ll. S. athlete in that sport. lior this feat he received a medal. XYe also took a great interest in the sehool work of L. ll. S., laboring' faithfully and consistently until we at last obtained our pro- motion to a rung higher on the ladder of success. namely. our introduction into the .lunior Class. .Xs .luniors we have striven to do our best. .Xlthough our basket ball quintet of this year secured only third place, we have two members from our class on the Yarsity, who in every game in which they participated have demonstrated their ability to play, and we are also proud to state that this year's Girls' Yarsity was composed mainly of -lunior girls. there being four on the regular team, who received their for their wonderful work done. XYe have entertained in chapel more times than any other class. by means of piano solos. vocal solos and declamations. XYe are now working' on a play which we intend to present to the student body in the near future. Without doubt, our track team of this year will be the strongest in L. ll. S.. as we have two of last year's Yarsity in our class, who will take tirst place in any event they run. These two men are sure of a berth on this year's Yarsity. So. as dignilied l Pl hluniors. we are striving to do our best. so that next year we may earn the distinction of being classed as Seniors The class colors, which we agreed upon to adopt in our lireslunan year, are still unchanged, lpein 3' lllue and Steel, as may be noted by the large pennant which adorns our class-room. Our class president of this year, Merrill liultz, has proven his worth in that position, and we have had numberless meetings at which much pep has been demonstrated.
