CLASS HISTORY N the fall of 1913 about fifty Freshmen entered the High School and of course their ignorance was the source of great amusement to the older classes. Before long they had organized and elected as their officers: Walter Burgess, president; Edwin Payne, vice-president, and Helen Cantrell, secretary and treasurer. They enthusiastically chose their class colors, green and white, to represent the usual qualities of Freshmen—ignorance and purity. They held one social event during the year, a very enjoyable hayrack ride. They came back the next year more enthusiastic than before. Their class officers for the year were: Walter Burgess, president; Audrey Lindsey, vice-president, and Beulah Mallory, secretary and treasurer. This year they began to take a more prominent part in the school activities than previously. Some of the boys played on the football team, and in the spring, when a tennis tournament was held, in which each class was represented, the representatives of the Sophomore class won first place. After signing the “Pledge of Peace” they held a Hallowe’en party, and later a Forty-two party at the Domestic Science building. Needless to say, each was a success. As Juniors, they became known for their unusual number of class meetings they held and their fondness for electing officers. They had only five presidents— Anna McEwen was the last. As she became president so near the last of the year, no one was elected to fill her place as vice-president. The secretary and treasurer was Beulah Mallory. Considerable attention was given to school athletics by the class. Eight of the boys were members of the football team and three of the baseball team. In the county track meet some of them were among the winners. When the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs gave “Pinafore,” one of the leading parts belonged to Beatrice Mc-Crady, a Junior. One of the highest honors they received during the whole year was when Leota Morgan, one of their class, was elected May Queen by popular vote. After a great deal of hard work, in which their ingenuity and perseverance were well displayed, they succeeded in raising funds for an elaborate Junior-Senior banquet, one of the best that any class has ever given in S. H. S. Seniors at last! It sounded big, but not quite so big as it had sounded to them when they were Freshmen. Very soon after the beginning of school, they reorganized, elected their officers: Charles Bartlett, president; Anna McEwen, vice-president, and Beulah Mallory, secretary and treasurer. They began to study hard at the very first of school, as each one was so eager to graduate. Immediately after the holidays Daniel Brown was chosen president to fill the vacancy created by the former one who resigned and entered another school. As in the preceding year, the class was well represented in the school athletics. During the latter part of the year the class play, “The Sky Riders,” was given, and enjoyed by everyone. All through their high school course the class had the usual difficulties to meet, but they cheerfully surmounted each and every obstacle and it is to be hoped that each member will always be just as happy as he was in S. H. S. [24]
