Oh, sheltering walls around us Where sacred memories dwell, We leave you now forever, And sadly say, farewe.ll! Here with our patient teachers We've gathered day by day, They gave us kindly counsel And helped us on our way. Here with our merry classmates Hours .all too quickly sped, And here our happy school days Like passing visions fled. K But soon we must forsake thee Our own kind sheltering home, And we will ne'er forget thee Wherever we may roam. In years to come thy memory! Deep in our hearts shall dwell. Your splendid truths and high ideals Shall serve us very well. lr M. S. 1, we-ee Tvlentylwo' Q' V H ' ------.----C, S . ' is si

I In the fall of 1922 a class of seventy- three entered the portals of New Hampton High to tread the paths as Freshmen to a broader road of knowledge. We entered into the course of study with the usual amount of vigor and zeal. In due time we became acquainted withour newdaily routine and set about with great stub- bornness to maintain the fame of our school. Early in the year we were or- ganized as -a class under our class advisor, Miss Helen McCoy. Such was the humble origin of the class we now view on the lofty pedestal of Seniordom. As Freshmen we were not particularly any branch of activity, prominent along but in our work we laid the foundation for scholastic achievement and character. Our Sophomore year found us with our original number only slightly deplet- ed. The same zeal for study which has now made us Seniors, again predominated. We were again organized as a class with Miss Osterhus as our class advisor. This year found more of our number participating in extra-curicular activities. Representatives from our class were easily found on the athletic field and also in declamatory contests. During this year our most spectacular contribution to school life was the Sophomore plays. They consisted of a group of three one act plays which were presented by the mem- bers of our English class under the direc- tion of our instructor. The proceeds were willingly placed in the Athletic As- sociation fund. These plays were very satisfactorily presented and they gave our class a reputation for latent histrionic ability. We now entered into our Junior year with customary spirit of charity for all, malice toward none. We produced a good- ly number of winners in school contests if various kinds. As Juniors we contri- buted a captain to the foot-ball team and also captains to the basket-ball and base- ball teams. Our class basket-ball team achieved a high honor when it succeeded in winning the inter-class tournament. We also placed two members of our class in the judging team, which won state hon- ors. We had a fine representation in the Glee Club, Pep Club and many other activ- ities. The most important social event of the year was the banquet given by our class in honor of the departing Seniors. It was a great success due to the assis- tance of our much appreciated class ad- visor, Miss Kling. We are now Seniors and we have be- gun to realize that we are about to leave the realm of Good Old New Hampton High. We now have members on every team. The foot-balli team will miss the support of five Senior players, while the basket-ball team will miss the dash and spirit of two fine players. Three of the Senior girls were dependable members of the girls basket-ball team. Our boys basket-ball team again won for us the inter-class pennant. Two of our boys were on the judging team which represented our high school and also our state in the National Stock Show at Indianapolis, one member succeeding in winning national honors. We placed two winners in de- clamatory work and placed four members in places on the debate team. We also have representatives in the Band, Glee Club and other organizations. The great success of our school carnival was due to our work and talent. We owe sincere thanks for our successful year to our de- pendable advisor, Mr. Lapham. Ours has been a happy class for when men are rightly occupied their amusement grows out of their work, as the collor of a. beautiful flower comes forth. A.
