Class History September 1922, brought a class of forty full of pep and willing to “find a way or make one,” into St. Edward High School. Inspite of some of the “greenish” actions, laughs of the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, and the jokes they played on us at our initiation, we survived and had a fine time on our first journey through knowledge. Well do we remember the first picnic held at the Sand Pit and the parties that followed. With Miss Kokjer as our faithful sponsor we began to enjoy life. Officers were: President, Florence Johnson; Vice-President, Alice Fitch; Secretary-Treasurer, James Westlake. The choosing of our class colors, Black and Orange, and hanging our banner on the front wall of assembly made us feel that we had really become a part of S. E. H. S. The class of ’26 is noted for winning contests, each year having a winner in the Declamatory Contest, taking first honors in the Senior year at the District contest. We soon found ourselves back in dear old S. E. H. S. for our second journey. It was our turn to help initiate Freshies and that we surely did, they looked greenov than we ever did. We were fortunate in having Miss Kokjer as our sponsor again. The class officers chosen were: President, Leslie Shaffer; Vice-President, Gerald DeVore; Secretary-Treasurer, Herman Ronnquist. On this journey we started winning contests, and we kept it up. For a contest, held for the Beaver, we received a pennant in Maroon and White, our High School colors. A good time we remember best of all was our fourth holiday which we won in a Maroon Contest, spent at Fullerton Bluffs. And all the parties at Albion Bluffs, John Anderson’s, Verna’s, Ada’s and the little secret party held at Della’s? ? ? Before we hardly realized it, we had started on our third journey. New members entered our class this year much to our benefit. Miss Kokjer did not come back, so Miss Hageman was chosen to fill her place. At class election, Leslie was again appointed President, having proved efficient the year before. Roy Smith was chosen Vice-President, and Ella Skanderup, Secretary and Treasurer. This journey was a very busy one and in February we presented, “Welcome Home Jimmy” our Junior Class play one of the most successful ever given in S. E. H. S. Of equal success was our Junior-Senior banquet. Two fourth holidays we won from the Maroon and Beaver contests, one was spent at Fullerton Bluffs. We did not make use of the other one. The parties held at Royal’s and Weldon’s were surely full of pep. Then in the twinkling of an eye it seemed we were Seniors. Twenty-eight returned to complete the last journey together. Miss Hageman again took the responsibility of sponsorship and class officers were: Roy Smith, President; Ella Scanderup, Vice-President; Verna Jenson, Secretary-Treasurer. A half holiday we won was spent at Columbus. Will Miss Hageman ever let us go so far away again with our unchangeable luck? Another half holiday was spent at Albion. Our Senior Class play “Mother Mine” was given in May. This journey brought much happiness and pleasure to us, and then, too, sadness fell on our pathway when we realized that graduation was so near. The innumerable good times spent together on our journays through S. E. H. S. are very dear to us. The last memorable event was the Commencement of ’28, and we are now ready to go out upon the new pathways of life.
