SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of 1922 has completed four memorable years in l... H. S. We have ever en- deavored to do our best for our Alma Mater and it is with pleasure that we look back over the all too short period of our high school career. The class of '22 entered High School IZ5 strong in September, l9l9. We immedi- ately found that High School life was very different from the school lifeiwhich we had ex- perienced. Although green as grass, and subject tothe trials and difficulties of Freshmen, we were not discouraged, but kept plugging right along. We did not indulge much in frivol- ities because we had come to realize that we must work to succeed. Ourigonly social affair was a straw ride which-was a decided success. When colors were to be chosen we decided upon purple and gold. ln the athletic field we did not gain much fame, but material was being developed of which we have since been proud. ln i920 we left the Freshman class to become gay, young Sophomores, having fought and won the battles of our Freshman year. Our Sophomore year wasone of the happiest years of our school life. Cur first move was to hold a class meeting to elect class officers and decide whether or not to change our colors. For various reasons it was deemed best to change themfrom purple and gold to maroon and white, and these were our colors throughout the remaining school years. We had a membership of about ll5 and with loy-al support from every one of these it was not unexpected that we should be winners in most of our undertakings. The first game of the season was foot ball. The boys of '22 now made use of the training of their Freshman year and set up for us a champion team which was defeated by. no other class team. ln basket ball our boys of the maroon and white were less successful because our class had lost several of its best players. But refusing to be back we produced a champion team, though only 'icellar champ. The next athletic events were on the track. Quite a few pleasant surprises in the way of material were found, so that our track team came up to the standard of our other teams. Our Junior year seems yet the brightest of all. We were in number 78. Under the able leadership of Ray Aurand, Janet Mitchell, Helen Price and Clayton Hook, we closed our first year as upper-classmen. Our social career took on a more serious aspect for in addition to the reception which we gave to the Seniors we had two parties which were well attended. The first party, a masquerade, which was held in the High School building, won much praise, but the last one, a chicken and waflie supper, at lVlilroy, was unanimously voted the best. The most important event of the year was the Junior Prom which was largely attended by the majority of members of both classes. Every one seemed to enjoy himself and had a good time. , t ln the fall of l92l we entered High School again, but this time as dignified Seniors. Our total enrollment was exactly 75, the largest Senior class ever in Lewistown High School. The first social event of the year was a masquerade, which was held in the social room of the High School, and proved to be a huge success. A very enjoyable stage party was held after the presentation of our class play, Green Stockings. That much for our social life. ln class athletics we didn't do much, but when it came to varsity men, we were right there. We had seven letter men on the football team and three letter men out of the five who received letters on the basket ball team. Our girls' basket ball team showed up better in the interclass series than did the boys. They and the Freshmen girls stood almost tie. ln the literary line of work we were first. Our class debating team took all the honors from the other classes. Our literary work in the Lore won the banner three times out of four. I The biggest event of the year was our class play, Green Stockings. Everyone who saw it said that it was one of the best ever given in l... H. S. We also made more money on it than did any other class make on their's. Everyone agrees with us when we say that we have a very talented group in our midst-those who took part in the Senior play. We now wish to close our last and most successful year by giving our best wishes and God speed to the Juniors, lower classmen and friends.
