HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. Class History. HE graduating class of ' 09 had the distinction of being the first Freshman class to enter the new High School building. To be sure, they missed all the fun that the upper classes had in the High School over the Post Office, but they were so little and unprotected and frightened in their Freshman year that they couldn ' t have appreciated any jokes or pranks such as Freshmen are usually up to. They were completely overawed by the magnitude of the Assembly Hall, the austerity of the faculty and the gigantic size and icy stares of the upper class men. Of course the boys ran the gauntlet of the paddles on the first day of their High School careers in September, 1904, and the girls were formally received by the Faculty in the Library. That memorable first year the class was sixty-two strong, but in the middle of the year one of their number launched her life ship upon the sea of matrimony and from that time forth the number diminished. Most of the sixty-two took the German course, although the Latin was strong. At that time there was a rumor prevalent to the effect that German was easier than Latin and, consequently, the German class had to be divided into two sections in order to accommodate all of the students. During the Sophomore year the class was greatly diminished in numbers, but vastly greater in stature and wisdom. The members had a perfect knowledge of the location of the class rooms and wondered at the youth of the Freshmen and materially assisted at the initiation of those unfortunates. When the class reached the third milestone of its high school life its numbej- was still smaller. Several members left school entirely, others became enrolled on the records of other educational institutions, and one member, Harold Pagin, was called to join the School of the Great Teacher. Four people were added to the class that year who were to become prominent membei ' s — Dorothy Ijetherman, Edith Marimon, Nancy Johnson and Berniece Krieger. During the year the class became prominent in athletics. A Junior basketball team was organized and there our Wallace laid the foundation for his present skill in basketing the ball. Social functions, hay-rack and band-wagon excur- sions, theatre parties, skating parties, dinners and other aft ' airs crowded the year with excitement. An ancient custom prevails among all Junior classes to give the graduat- ing class a farewell party. In accordance with this custom the Juniors assembled and elected their first officers : Wallace Wilson, President ; Vera Sieb, Vice-President; Berniece Reynolds, Secretary, and Corinne Blount, Treas-
