Of the large number who started to-gether there are now in the class Elsie Johnson, Sibyl McCorkell, Izetta Kelly, Inez Cobb, and Philip March. This class began to make a name for itself when it was in the third grade, the principal event of the year being the presentation of the Tom Thumb Wedding. When in the fifth grade, a new pupil entered who was Clifford Aalfs, and of course having a boy from the country caused much excitement. In the seventh year we lost Izetta Kelly from our class but she couldn't stay and returned in her ,Junior year to finish high school with her classmates. In the eighth grade, Anita and Everett entered. That year, the class was divided into two well organized Literary Societies. When we became freshies in High School, there was a class of thirty: but some were not as persevering as others until now only half that remain. All through the four years of H. S. our class has been well represented in every activity. Some of the best men in Foot Ball, Basket Ball, and Base Ball teams always came from the class of '23, and our girls always represented .us admirably on the girls Basket Ball team. Declamatory Contests must not be overlooked as We were always among the first and in our Junior year, the winners were all from our class. Social events have not been lacking in the activities of the class. In our Freshman year we had parties at the homes of Clifford Aalfs and Edith Nelson. In our Sophomore year at Elsie Johnson's and Beryle Murphy's. The big event of the Junior year was the Junior- Senior banquet, which, with the help of Misses Gillet and Zimmerman, we made very successful. Other parties during the year were at the homes of Izetta Kelly and Lovina Allison. In this, our Senior year, we had a farewell party on Alice Hammer at the March home and a ban- quet for the boys at the Allison home, while the boys, with the aid of their mothers, entertained us royally in the home of Philip March. Now, as a climax to our high school career, we are looking forward to the Junior-Senior banquet, the class play, class day, and last but not least-Commencement. -Inez Cobb 4 ..1g'-- -in 7 me-15 Liifii-- 5, 1

How We looked up to those stately scholars, And thought how lovely 'twould be, When we should be up there with honors, Starting on life's youthful sea. In those days our future looked long As we wondered about our career, When we reached the end of life's long song, That is ebbing from us each year. But now we've attained that desire, Our hearts are still longing to see If our ambition is tied to a flier,- And what that ambition will be. We know we're gathered to scatter, Those good times no longer will be. So careless-for nothing did matter- In those happy old school days so free. We must bid good-bye to the school room, And to halls we have often oppressed, To the teachers' sad frowning of gloom, Good-bye exams, themes, and tests! Yet duty is our obligation, And truthfulness our friend, Success we'll make from education,- Then to God we trust for our end. -Izetta Kelly , -- raw.. .,..fx-, . . . . ... ,.,..- ... ...,., - .... ,..
