9 9 Q 0 E CLASS OF 1922 Four years ago you entered A. H. S. as timid, verd: nt freshmen. Uuring your four years here you have lost your timidity and verdancy, and now with confidence and growing maturity stand at the threshold of a broader participation in the problems of life. As I look back over your years in A. H. S. l have a feeling of pride for what you have achieved and a feeling of confidence for the future. Your record in school has been good. ln all branches of school activities, scholarship. athletics, debating, dramatics, you have proved your ability. l especially value the loyal, broad-minded spirit of student leadership you have displayed this year. The seniors in a school are the natural and logical student leaders and molders of student sentiment. The ideals of a school will be very largely a reflection of the ideals possessed and expressed by the seniors. 1 appreciate the co-operation 1 have received from you this year. I have felt that you were for every- thing that was for the best interests of A. H. S., and were against everything that would in any way bring discredit upon our reputation at home or among other schools. VVhen you receive your diplomas and leave us, you will go, not as a class group, but as individuals, for the class of '22 will be disbanded. My wish for you is that you will always carry as individuals the high ideals that you have held as a class. FORRIQST V. RUL'T'l'. HIC graduating class of 1922 is one to be proud of. During its entire four years in A. H. S. it has contributed largely to the support of the school. lr has not simply been a parasite but has given as well as received, and it is with deep sorrow that it is now leaving this dear old high school. It has spent some of its happiest days of its life under the blue and gold and it is impossible that it will ever forget those days.

same colloge, they are not going through life together, but is is an impossiblity that they will ever forget each other. They will take up different occupations but judging by their work as members of this class all should be successful. The reason for much of this triumph is that early in its high school career, even when Freshmen, the class of '22 got into the game and played hard. We cannot review all that the class has done during our four years here, but an item or two of its accomplishments as Seniors will be suflicient to show the real ability and loyalty of the class. In the first place, starting oil with a bang, as its custom, it was the first to get a 100 per cent student body membership. But this was not enough. The class of '22 had a splendid percentage of subscribers to the Spotlight and Annual, two things worth boasting of. Furthermore, it has been well represented in all school activities-scholastic, athletic, literary, social and Hnancial. Members of the Senior Class have been the main force in the football, basketball, track and baseball teams. Four of our debators are Seniors, and the Spotlight, our school paper, was launched, managed and made a success largely through the efforts of the members of the class of '22. The Alhambran has its share of Senior workers and the Honor Roll bears many a Senior name. We need only mention A Bachelor's Romance, the Senior play, and everyone will recall the splendid work of the class in dramatics. The good times that the class has had this year are many, especially the Senior Dance given early in the year when the Juniors were the guests. It was the first class affair of the year and proved a rollicking success. The Seniors enjoyed themselves equally as well at the dance given them by the Juniors in May. These parties in the gym will always be among the cherished memories of every Senior. To conclude, the class wishes to express its sincere thanks to Miss Greene, who, as class teacher, both this year and last, has helped it in every possible way. To the Student Body, the class wishes to express its hope that the years to come will bring forth even greater triumphs than this year has seen, and it trusts that those who follow it will carry on the splendid work already begun. In turn, the class hopes that its deeds and accomplishments will continue to bring honor to its Alma Mater. FREDERICK F. HOUSER CLASS OFFICERS Frederick F.
