6 Q. .g. Low Senior Class History 2' QP' 6 Ill Q Q El xg Q65 ,ly on ILLED with the spirit of youth and hope, the present Low Senior class made its debut I in the A. H. S. in December, 1917. Not long after the Low Freshman term commenced, the class elected as officers for the term: President, Walter Bishop, Vice-President, Helen Faullg Secretary, Delwyn Elfersg Class Representatives, Tova Petersen and Hamilton Gamble. As we were still timid and backward Freshmen, the greatest event of the term was a candy sale. Due to the influenza nothing in class activity was accomplished during the High Freshman and Low Sophomore semesters. Officers were elected and the success of the Freshman- Sophomore tie-up was largely due to our efforts. Our class pep burst forth in the High Sophomore term. With the help of Mr. Carpenter, our class advisor, and under the direction of Colvin Elliott, class president, the class held three very pleasant dances at the homes of Ada Burrell, Jack Lum, and Claire Hrubanik. Later in the term a candy sale was given which netted good returns. No social activities marked our Low Junior term, the most important occurrence being the selection of a class pin. After much discussion a very attractive and snappy pin was chosen. Bang! The High Junior semester was off with a dance two weeks after vacation. The dance was held at Jack Lum's home and was pronounced a success by all who attended. The big activity of the term was the Hi Junior Prom. Under the able and experienced management of Colvin Elliott, and with the well-known Windy Rue's orchestra, it was a big success. Porter Auditorium was decorated for the occasion in black and orange and Japanese lanterns added to the Oriental effect. At last we, the class of December '21, are Low Seniors. The Freshman reception managed by Beatrice Almond, by which the girls of the class welcomed the Freshman girls, was a pleasant occasion. On Aprilninth, His Excellency the Covernor'1 was presented. It was a very clever play, and because of the efforts of Miss Isabel Venard our class advisor, Colvin Elliott, the manager, Mr. Carlyle, the coach, and the students who took part, was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The class looks forward to High Senior term with somewhat the feeling of the hurdle racer who sees the last hurdle ahead of him-joy that it is the last hurdle but regrets that the race is so nearly run.
