s unior Class History EDNA PAULSON, Class Reporter In the fall of l9I 7 our class made its Hrst appearance in the Uni- versity High School. Of those who enrolled as Freshmen, only seven remain with us, but the places of the others have been filled with new students from all parts of the State. ' We are a wide-awake class, eager to do our share and prove to the University High that there is nothing the matter with us. Athletics have always been our hobby, and this year the very popular basketball captain, Willard Haines, was chosen from our ranks. All but one of the High School officers were selected from our class: Vice President, Willard Haines: Secretary, Raymond Essertg and Business Manager, Gordon DeKay. We have three of our members on the Taesakooma Staff: Ruth Hall, Society Editorg Bonnie Nolan, Alumnig and Wil- lard Haines, Athletic Editor. The Associate Justice, Ralph Hoitsma, is also a Junior, and Raymond Essert, as Yell Leader, has dcne a great deal toward keping up enthusiasm and arousing school patriotism. So, you see, we have some very illustrious members in this Class of '2 l. In the interclass basketball games last fall, we put up a valiant strug- gle, as may be seen by the final score, wherein we were defeated only one point by the Champions, the Seniors. Although we were not victorious, we feel as though our boys are successful players, capable of defending the athletic reputation of our High School. Now, at the close of our Junior year, we have learned enough to know that we don't know much, which is really more than we knew in I9l 7. Nevertheless, we shall endeaxor to conceal this fact from the underclassmen when we return next fall, full-Hedgecl Seniors.
