' The class of '22 entered the old cent- ral building in September, 1918. We were small in number, but great in wis- dom and school spirit. We held the first class meeting of the year and elect- ed the following officers: President, Edmund Echols, Vice President, Ken- neth Cullum, Sec. and Treas., Paul Harlan, Chairman of Social Comm., Sara Hostutler. Our party on Febru- ary 7th, and weinie roa-st later in the year, were the most popular social events of the season. NVe started our Sophomore year in the new building with a fine corp of officers: Mr. Auld, Class Advisor: President, Charles Moser, Vice Pres- dent, Joe Wilson, Treasurer, Mildred Burgess, Secretary, Helen Kinney, t'hairman of Social Comm., Olga Lew- is. On the evening of March 12th, we gave our annual party in the gym, which was gaily decorated in purple and gold. A delightful program, in- cluding the rendering of some of Miss I'aulman's poetry, and an auction sale, were the events of the evening. Elev- en o'c-lock came all too soon, and the mystery concerning the Jim Jams and basket of sandwiches, has never been cleared up to this day. -luniors this year, my, how the time does tly! NVith the guidance of Mr. Auld, Olll' class makes itself more prom- inent than ever this year. Again, we lead in the soeial events ol' the season. Uur Valentine party held in the Manual Training room, was a novelty, as well CLASS OF '22 as a success. The Farmington Basket Ball Team was invited, and in the rev- elry soon forgot their defeat. For the first time in school history, the Junior class was not permitted to give a play. XVe were greatly disappointed, but to show that we never gave up, we rented the Park Theatre for April 29th and presented VVanda Hawley in The Snobf' The proceeds from this pic- ture enabled us to give the Seniors a sumptuous banquet, which was the crowning feature of our Junior social year. Junior officers were: Pres. Ol- ga Lewis, Vice Pres., Arthur Mourot., Sec., Frieda Gorby, Treas., Marie Sut- er, Chairman of Social Comm., Frank Martin, Class Advisor, Mr. Auld. Seniors at last! But We say it with regret. It makes us begin to feel old and dignified. We feel youth slipping away from us, and responsibility rest- ing heavily on our shoulders. We think less of parties and good times and be- gin to ponder over the future. To help us through our last and hardest year we elected the following officers: Pres., Fred Parriott, Vice Pres., and See., Olga Lewis, Treats., Frank Mar- tin, Chairman of Social Comm., Mary E. Johnson. Our masquerade party featured a jazz orchestra, but the re- freshments, as usual, made a deeper im- pression on those present. Our Senior play, The Hoodoo to be given 011 April 7th, has 2111 all star cast- alld prom- ises to be one of the best ever given by school talent. O. M. L. '22,
