Z HISTORY 'VERY GOOD THING has a beginning and an ending: and the present I graduating class is no exception. Our start was made in September 1918, when some of us gathered at the Annex, and others at Junior High. There isn't much to be said of FreshiesgH they're not very important after all, except in their own eyes. However, this year our hearts were lightened when the armistice was signed-for war, even in our young lives, was depressing. Then came Christmas! NVe worked hard to provide for the poor families of the com- munity, and I am sure our toiling was not without material success. The next thing we knew February was at hand, and we, at the Annex, were no longer the youngest class of the school. A In the beginning of our 1B grade, the girls who were at the Annex came to the Main Building, but those who were in Junior High remained there. In this term we were duly made fun of, but we did not much mind. VVe were so charmed by the novel position in which we found ourselves that minor privations did not annoy us. During this time, we did nothing of importanceg perhaps it is because the class was not yet together. However much we enjoyed our work, we were not sorry to welcome june and vacation. September called us to work again, and, although some hesitated. we came, for the most part, eager and curious toi see what the new year would bring. We were now united for the first time, and one of our chief pleasures was the forming of fast friendships in the class. And just think, we were no longer in the baby class! We had graduated, and were proud Sophomores. This was the first year that the class, as a whole, took interest in the affairs of class and school. Our baseball team was elected, and, while its virtues are better untold, we were proud of our nine. For the first time, weiwere initiated into the wonderful, and, at the same time, horrible Hallowe'en Party. The party was wonderful, but some of the costumes were horrible, and we had a hard time recognizing our former crush

I4 The Torch in the person of Sis Hopkins or an elephant. Time has a sly way of running away with itself, however, and soon, to our amazement, we found ourselves plunged into a newer and still more delightful sphere. As 2B's we faced more problems. Cnr first class meeting was held. It sounded very big to have an important class meeting announced in Assembly. NVe were occupied with the stunt that we were to give at the annual circus. To the surprise of everybody, even of ourselves, and the disappointment of some, we took the cake at the circus. This honor only helped to prove that the class of '22 is unique and original in all its works and actions. Do we remember that 2B Class Picnic at which Miss Saunders and Miss Tobin officiated as chaperones? I'll say Claire de Figaniere remembers and so do a few others-who, however, have less cause to recollect this crushing event. However, it must not be supposed that we never did any work. indeed, some of our most serious labor was begun during this time. Some of the girls had already chosen their future professons, and we laid the cornerstones of our work to come in these years. This year was one of strenuous work and play, and vacation was doubly welcome, although sonze girls expressed the desire to stay and work all summer C ?j. Back to work again!! VVe now considered ourselves upper-classmen, for we had finished half of our High School career. Since we were now eligible to play Captain-ball, it was imperative that we choose our class colors and get our ties. Our ties brought forth the admiration and envy of the whole school. Jade green and black are stunning colors we all agreed. Then we turned our attention to Captain-ball. Tommy Rodgers was our manager and we are sure at the next big fight Jack Dempsey has will see Tommy installed as Demp's side-kick. And Claire Sherrer as captain would have made many a battle-scarred Capt A. E. F. turn green with envy. Strange to say, with these and other brilliant stars of the rings, we lost every game. This was an unfathomable mystery never to this day satis- factorily explained. But we made up for these defeats by again taking the cake at the circus. The judges fell for the pyramids made by our tumblers. Too had those gentlemen of Egypt couldn't have employed '22's experts to help them in the construction of their little tombs. Christmas next and then promotion. 3B's! In SB we really became an important class in the school. We elected our sponsor, Miss Boyt, and no class ever had a better advisor. She has piloted us safely through the stormy sea of High School life between the Scylla of failures on our report cards and the Charybdis of getting high enough averages to indulge in school activities. Yea, verily, Miss Boyt's middle name has, by necessity, become Records And then our rings! Everybody admitted that they were the most beautiful rings in captivity. It surely was a joy to display our newly acquired treasures to ourfriends. Again we played Captain-ball, and again Tommy brought into play her talents as manager. Dot Van Loan was our captain and a peach. Leave it to Dot, we say! Finally spring came around, so did spring fever, and then vacation. Seniors at last! The long-striven-for goal was in sight. Well, we started off the year by electing Anna Lingelbach Class Chairman, and never shall we forget Anna behind Dr. Hansche's desk in Assembly Hall, Well, girls. what do you think about it ? Anna surely was fair and square. Then the thrill that comes
