THE WALNUT TREE 19 CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1919 a group of ignorant and unsophisticated young upstarts came on the wooden ship of knowledge to that part of the W. H. S. called Greenland. They satisfied themselves by nibbling bits of green and unseasoned learning. Thus digestion was not greatly improved by this method of devouring all but the proper food suitable for infants. From this unexperienced stage they went to one of a little higher plane. As a contrast to the former green came Carl Peterson with his flaming head. At this time the Gaskill brothers left the Sophomore class. Like the stages in a basket ball game so the life at high school became more eventful and interesting. The insignificant Sophies passed on to the Junior Class and now had to bow to only the untrammeled life of the very much educated Seniors. As Juniors the brains of the class expanded and the members began to look more and more like personages. The parties and the play made life more bearable. The Junior-Senior Banquet served to give them a pleasant notice that they were coming to the front in W. H. S. affairs. The spirits were somewhat saddened by the loss of two well-liked classmates, Ina Sells and Olive Wallace. Now, the class followed in the wake of the Seniors and, as the Senior Class of ’23, demanded its well deserved attention two more of the class, now numbering twenty-one left for other fields. These were Philip Hopkins and Edith Christensen. Life was droll and uneventful, until the high school moved into its new building. The time sped by and exams all over the class prepared to leave never to return. After graduation, all left with a triumphant, yet sad feeling. The happiest days of their lives were over and they set out to their new tasks in the great universe.
