22 THE WALNUT TREE .................................... mmi.. CLASS HISTORY Way back in 1919 twenty-two lx ys and girls ascended the rickety old steps of the old high school and enrolled as “Preps.” Because of our fright, our behavior was perfect. In spite of ignorance, twenty-seven pupils entered the Freshmen year. During our first year in high we staged a “wiener roast,” a kid party, an April fool’s party, and a “line” party. Twenty-five came back to enjoy school life as Sophomores. After a general good time, and staging numerous parties, we were found to be minus four of our classmates, namely, Frank O’Dell, Lerov Buckner, Lee Wallis, and Mary Noble. Our number had decreased till we had twenty-one enrolled as Juniors. Nellie Taylor, Frank Wolf and Charles Butcher dropped out at the end of the first semester. Probably the Junior-Senior banquet was the most noteworthy undertaking of the year. However, the Junior play, “Line Busy,” brought us in the limelight. Tna Sells and Charles Butcher came back to join 11s as Seniors, making our total enrollment nineteen. Our life was not so easy, but we finally overcame all difficulties, and left the good old alma mater victorious. The only noteworthy accomplishment was the staging of “Daddy Long Legs.” iliiiiniiilliliiililillHlilliilillliliiliiiniiiiillllli:ilililiiliil!liiiiliiiiliii!iillllilili!:i:!i!iiili:ili:ilttlii!li!lilil!llliiM
