History of the Class of '22 MARGARET MOUDY, Class Reporter Of course we all saw each other registration day when we started out, but we never dreamed that there were so many until we gathered together for the first time and were enlightened as to the solemn duties and the dignified position of Freshmen. The room could scarcely hold all of us and the class was divided into two sections, the first in the his- tory of the University High School. The best part is, we have retained our numbers. We made our initial debut into High School Society by giving a big masquerade. It certainly was a success, but did not make us at all big-headed . ln the High School play, the leading role was played by a Freshman, Adelaide George. Again this year we had the first class meeting, although the ,Iuniors tried to beat us to it . The Sophomores have had many honors. ln the essay contest on The Benefits of An Enlistment in the United States Army , four of our papers were chosen out of the six from the High School. We have three members on the Annual Staff, Rachel Wright, Evangeline Simmons, and Edward Daly. Jack Robertson, who is one of the treasured forwards on the first team. We feel quite proud of these prominent people. Also, in this year's tournament, Ruth Rauner carried off the honors of second place in the Second Division of Music. Three cheers for Ruth! There are other noted characters, such as Irene Dawson, who an- nexed the captain of the basketball team, Connie Maynard, who has a wonderful ability of having orderly Freshman class meetingsg Donald Thompson, the noted heartbreakerg Edward Palmer, the wonderful geometry sharkg Rachel Wright, the shy and bashful maid who never goes out for activitiesg Harold Hunt, the solemn, quiet boy who seldom laughs and who, no doubt, will have Reverend attached to his name fl-lar! l-larllg Evangeline Simmons, the girl who enjoys making masquerade costumes, and lrvin Hoitsma, who can stand any- amount of teasing without changing color. There are many other noted people, but space is limited-and it is time to stop telling about the frivolous, care-free Sophomores, as we will soon be Juniors nonpareil.

Freshman Class History ROBERT SPALDING, Class Reporter The Freshman Class is one of the two largest in the U. H. S. It is one class which has helped the school's growth by a large number. The Freshmen didn't do much in basketball, as the boys were too small. I think all the class is planning to go through the University High School, as it has suited all of them. Everybody had a good time at the Freshman Hard Times Leap Year Dance, and they will remember for a long time the cider and doughnuts. At the hrst of the year we elected our officers, Marjorie Mack for President and Louise lVlcNiff for Secretary. They have been fine officers and have led the class well. Out of the Freshman Class we formed a General Science Club, and it has held interesting meetings each Friday for the two sections. We have quite a few new members in the Freshman Class. They make up about half of the class, and we get along excellently. The University High School has this year its largest attendance, and our class has done all in its power to make it one of the best High Schools in the State. I suppose they think every Freshman Class is green, but we don't mind it-you get used to it. The two sections of English A are going to hold a debate in a few weeks. We have been so large the teachers had to divide our class, and there has been some rivalry between the sections, so they are going to hold a debate to see which class is the stronger. The pupils of the class had a harcl time to choose colors, but at last we chose rose and gold, but many other colors were entered.
