Class History If you will give me your kind attention for a few moments, I will tell you the story of a marvelous class, the most wonderful class that ever came to Alliance High School, namely the class of 1024. Its life has continued for twelve years. Although many of our present members did not enter the class at the beginning, but joined us on the way, ten of the number are still with us. Forty-nine more, seven of whom have had all their work in the Alliance schools, have joined us, giving us a class of 59 members. The main event of our grade school days was the burning of the Old (.'entral building. Many heard the alarm about four o’clock on a morning in 1914. and witnessed the destruction of our school house. For about six weeks we enjoyed a vacation. After that, room was made for us in what is now J. H. S. Years passed by rather uneventfully until in 1919 we reached the eighth grade. This year there was considerable rivalry between the two grade school basketball teams. Central and Emerson. The ( entral girls won two games. Emerson one. and the Central hoys wen all three games. Of course, upon entering High School this rivalry was forgotten. and we played as a team. Some of our most noted players at that time were Esther Vanderlas and Edna Miles who played on the (’entral team, and Eva and Neva Beal who played on the Emerson team. In the fall of 1920 we entered Alliance High School, a band of one hundred live young people fiom Emerson. Central and the country schools, eager to learn, and proud to be counted as one class of A. H. S.. though maybe the greenest of them all, as all freshman are. Green means growth, and how eager we were to grow! We were willing to endure the various experiences necessary to the training of Freshmen. After our work was started, we organized our class with Charles Cross as president. Lucille Butler. vice-president. Will;am Bicknell. secretary-treasurer. Katherine Harris. Spud representative. and Miss Bishop as our sponsor. Our first social event was the Mixer in which all classes were represented. Formerly. this was an annual event, but we Freshmen were very much pleased and surprised with it, for you realize that we were “Just Freshmen.’ But how rapidly we wer developing! This Mixer ’ they told us. was a social event for aiding all classes to become acquainted. We did this in a very short time. We became so bold that we even called the Seniors, whom we had met in the course of the evening, by their first names! No side of life was neglected even in our first year. We were represented on the second basketball teams by Charles Cross and Esther Vanderlas. At the suggestion of our class sponsor, we gave a party during the basketball season, with the Sidney boys as our guests. A large number attended, and everyone reported a splendid time. Our class was represented by many enthusiastic workers in the Declamatory Contest, and one of our number, Frances Fletcher, won first place in the humorous department. Also, in debate, we were represented by Charles Cross and King Robbins. This year we gave successful class programs in the assembly. Inspired by the coming of spring we ventured on a picnic to I’urlnton's grove, where we enjoyed buns, wieners, pickles, and ice cream cones, and returned home in the height of confusion in the midst of an April shower. Thus our Freshmen year was pleasantly and profitably spent and we eagerly looked forward to the next year. When again entering A. H. S.. we did not hesitate to claim our rightful place as highly developed representatives of this school. We did not. however, enter school with the same number with which we had entered last year. We had lost some cf our members, some dropping out entirely, and some, sad to relate, were left in the 25
