“1916 Class S istori ” W'e, the Class of 1916, entered the Sapulpa High School on September the 16, 1912, with a class of forty. We liked our new teachers and studies, even if we did receive the usual treatment. In October our Class was organized. David Hillis was elected President. John Bowersock Vice-President, and William Irvin Secretary and Treasurer. Our Class colors were chosen as black and red. Before tlief second semester we bought a beautiful red pennant with black letters, for which we paid the munificent sum of ten dollars. After the pennant was bought, we tacked it up in a very conspicuous place on the north wall of the Library’. Before the end of the first semester and during the second semester many new pupils joined our Class to share our troubles. Our Class was always fond of social functions. After a number of Class meetings, we decided to have a hay-ride—such as it was! The Juniors engaged our hay-rack and we had to take the car to Moccasin Tracks, where we enjoyed our midnight luncheon. We never will forgive those Juniors. May 16, 1913, ended our first year in High School. We did better than we expected to do, as our Class made the highest average and most of us were to become Sophomores the following September. On September the 15th, 1913, we entered the Sapulpa High School as Soohomores. We felt somewhat dignified because we were Sophomores and not Freshies. Soon after school began we organized our Class. David Hillis was elected President, Stanley Cohagan Vice-President, and Beatrice Boyd Secretary and Treasurer. At this meeting it was decided that every one of us was to pay twenty cents each month, so that the Sophomore Class could leave something in the High School—if we did not happeiyto leave ourselves. One Monday morning, as we entered the assembly hall, we noticed that our pennant was gone. Where could it be? Have those Seniors stolen it? No one knew. Later we found out that the Freshies took it. We have not recaptured it to this day. In December, we thought that we should try our luck with,another social affair. For a party at the Domestic Science Department, the girls brought the cakes and decorations, and the boys brought the ice cream. This time the Seniors planned to steal our refreshments, but by mistake they took some valuable fruit cakes which the Domestic Science teacher made. The Seniors received adequate punishment for such an injudicious act. This ends our past , and our present history and the remainder will be written in the future. 24
