E 'iv Class of December'22 T was with some fear, we must admit, that we, the class of December, ,22, first entered Alameda High School in February, 1919. VVe soon became organized and elected the following officers: President, Will Brooks, vice-president, Grace Faulkner, secretary, Eugenia Clinchard, class representative, Annabelle Gardner, and Dexter Weeden, editor. During our first term the Freshman-Sophomore tie-up was won with the help of the High Freshmen by the score of 3 to 2. As High Freshmen we elected Stewart Hieronymus, president, Anna-- belle Gardner, vice-president, Kenneth Speer, secretary, Dorothy Blake and Worden Cornelius, class representatives, and Eugene Jackson, editor. Our class put a football team on the field in the fall of 1919 which won from the Sophomores, but was unable to repeat the performance. In the spring of 1920 the then Low Sophomore class elected the follow- ing oliicers: Stewart Hieronymus, president, Betty Allen, vice-president, Norman Ackley, secretary, Dorothy Blake and Francis Chamberlain, class representatives, and Courtney de Colmesnil, editor. In the fall Dexter Weeden was made president, Grace Faulkner, vice-president, Eugene Jackson, secretary, with Dorothy Blake and Francis Chamberlain on the Ad. Board. The main event of our High Soph term was the movie H232 Hours' Leave. This was one of the best attended movies ever given at the A. H. S., netting over SIOO. As Low Juniors, Kenneth Speer was president, Vera Von Tagen, vice- president, Francis Chamberlain, secretary, while Grace Faulkner and Dexter VVeeden were class representatives. ln the fall of 192 1 Stewart Hieronymus was again made president, with Betty Allen, vice-president, and Norman Ackley, secretary. Class repre- sentatives were Alvin Sargent and Grace Faulkner. In this term our Junior Prom was given and it was certainly a success in every way. It was managed by Stewart Hieronymus. When we became Seniors we were given our own advisory, with Mrs. Partch and Mr. Daniels as advisors. We elected the following ollicers: President, Harry Akesson, vice-president, Eugenia Clinchard, secretary, Eugene Jackson, treasurer, Norman Ackley, class representatives, Al Steele and Dorothy Donaldson, and editor, Andrew Dixon. The crowning success of our Low Senior term was the play, Clarence An excellent cast was chosen and coached by Mr. Carlyle. We will soon enter upon the last term of' school. We intend to make our last term a grand success by giving an unsurpassable Seniorpheum. Here's hoping that Alameda High School will always think as fondly of the class of December, 322, as we shall think of Alameda.
