ZQA .x . . rx . , THE WINTER CLASS OF 1924 A ERE'S to the first mid-year graduating class of A. H. S. Although We are small in number, it is quality that counts, and not quantity. As yet, our class has not distinguished itself, except through the athletic ability of several members. Despite the fact that We are a minority, we feel that our class has con- tributed largely to the support and enthusiasm of the school. There is good material in the B 12 class, and We expect to shine brightly next year in every school activity. By our establishing a mid-year class, we have helped to place A. H. S. among the larger schools-an honor of which We know she is worthy. We Will be here next semester to take the place of the departing summer seniors, and We expect to take it in a peppy and proficient manner. As We are a new institution in the school, We have not a class teacher, but We Wish to take this opportunity in thanking the faculty for their kind coopera- tion, LYNDALL GITT.

450 T-'EL HAT would a high school do Without Juniors? The Seniors are preparing to leave school, the Sophomores are still getting acquainted, and the Freshmen are not yet awake. Therefore, the Junior class is the main- stay of the school. And the class of '24 has certainly lived up to the repu- tation that a Junior class should have. In every activity that A. H. S. has entered into this year, whether in the athletic or scholastic line, we, Juniors, have taken either the lead or a very prominent part. It will be impossible to record all of our achievements of this year, but a few will suffice to prove our all-round ability. To begin with, we were the second to get a 10092 student-body mem- bership, giving our worthy rivals, the Seniors, a close race. The Juniors must certainly be given first place in athletics this year. as may be shown by the following: In football, eight of our class were first team letter men. In the interclass basketball championship, the Junior lightweights won first and the heavy-weights second place, easily proving our superiority in this sport. Eight out of twelve of those who played on the first team basketball squad were from our class. Several Juniors were on the track squad and at least five Juniors are expected to obtain regular positions on the baseball team. About the middle of the year, wc were challenged to a yelling contest by the Seniors. Vile accepted, and on the appointed date, took the honors from them by four points. In debating, the Juniors had many representatives. Six of them took part in interscholastic debates. Our class is also well represented in the Scholarship Society and in both the Spotlight staff and the staff of the Alhambran. One of the big events of the year was the class play, HClarence.'7 It was a decided success financially. as well as a very entertaining production. On the whole, we are all proud of the class of '24, and don 't mind letting the world know it. Vile feel that the year has been a real success, and 'we are hoping to accomplish even more next year. cLiFFoRD RITTER. CLASS CF F ICERS Clifford Ritter .... .. ....... .....
