Yes, happy, I say, but rather timid. Oh, those first few weeks! New teachers, new friends, new books -in general a new atmosphere - surrounded us. As meek Freshmen we shyly did as we were bid and looked upon upper classmen with deepest reverence. Before long, however, we knew better. Summer passed, and the Freshmen Reception brought to the front the flowering belles of the class. Then we became Sophomores, sophisticated, ah! far past that first epoch in learning. Sincere effort, diligent work and many trials promoted us to the esteemed stage of upper classmen, and we strutted around as proud as bantam roosters. During the Junior year our class was represented by several members in various schoolvactivities. In athletics, Bill Lange, Cliff Benjamin, and Ed Barnes made our name known. At last we became mighty Seniors! From our high-brow perch we looked on with an amused eye at the hot polloi of the under classmen. No longer for us were the ways of the proletariat. We were laws unto ourselves thenceforth, dictators of fashion, arbiters of the fate of the school, models of scholarship and lions of society. In this, our last year, the class has really buckled together and become organized. It was not until this time that we began to have good times together, different members of our class giving parties. We elected Florence Schmuelling president, George Rattenbury vice president, Miriam Sarles secretary, and Janet Hausser treasurer. Milo Walton has represented us in the Student Council, Bill Lange, Janet Hausser and Florence Schmuelling on the Mirror Staff 3 Virginia Klotter as Mirror Reporter g and Miriam Sarles on the Silhouette. Bill Lange has also played center on the basketball team. The Glee Club has claimed Julia Hauer, Gladys Duvall, Virginia Klotter, Miriam Sarles and Janet Hausser Cthe Indian brave, Wambelee, in the operettaj. Nowvour history closes as we approach a great milestone, graduation, mark- ing the completion of a four-year period of work and play. Though we bid the school good-bye, her memory will ever be in our hearts. 14

Here is a really worth-while girl-always ready to help others out of a hard place. We think she has many interesting ideas, but wish she would more frequently express them. Sure- ly, her domestic abilities will prove valuable some day. EDWIN BARNES Loathing pretense, he did with cheerful will, What others talked of while their hands were still. Football '24g Football Manager '25g A-B Coun- cil '25g Student Council President '26g Class President l25g Boys' Glee Club '25, Eddie makes friends anywhere he goes. He appears quiet in class, but you should see him at a party or playing football. He has shown his ability through his active interest in school organizations. HARRIET BRANNEN For me Fate gave, whate'er she else denied, A nature sloping to the southern side. Rooters' Club '243 Girls' Glee Club '24, '25g Athletic Association '25, '26. Harriet finds every bit of work mere play. She enjoys all kinds of sport, but her hobby is camping. Her entertaining jokes have scat- tered many sunbeams through a dull day. CLIFFORD BENJAMIN The man who conseerates his hours, By vigirous effort and an honest aim. Football '24, '25g Track ,24, '25. Cliff says his hobby is athletics. To prove this he has carried off football and track honors, besides having the privilege of wearing a medal for javelin throwing. From him you may get the latest tips on hot socks. 15
