Page twenty-orte The Spirit Annual Class Htslorij It was in the fall of ’13 when the old school again swung open her doors for eigbtv-nine Freshmen to enter and begin their four long years of life in her halls. The first few weeks we inwardly shivered when anyone yelled “Prep!” and outwardly trembled at the sight of green dandelions. After our class finally adjusted themselves, we became noted as llie peppiest class ever in school. (Please pardon our self-praise.) We organized before any of the other classes and Bcatic Olson made a sure enough peppy president. I . Our first class party, we all remember, and we somehow had an awfully good time without quite knowing why, after all the boys in some way got mixed with all the girls on the opposite side of the room. But there's one thing about that party some of us never could understand and this is, why do Edith Wallis and Barclay Noble blush when third floor is mentioned t Our Junior Hallowe’en party surely had all other class functions beaten, when Mr. Steffey, for once, allowed us to laugh at his expense when he came in doing the Agricultural two step. Our bob-party that year would have been a wonderfully good party, if there had been any snow on the ground. We took such pains to find chaperones and we finally Ihot Mr. and Mrs. Bob Thompson would fill the bill. At the school-house, we all waited and waited. They didn't come, so we finally drove off without them to an oyster stew at Noble's. All the time the said Thompson's were waiting at home for us to come after them. That year we started out very strong in athletics. The football boys were full of enthusiasm, and we had a fine team, thanks to our coach. Our boys on, the team were Soper, Anderson, and Dvoracck and they all won their monograms. In the spring our basketball team held Hammond, McCarty, Dunlap, Anderson, Sauvain, Dvoracck, with Innes, Dunlap, McCarty, Sauvain, I lines and Hammond winning their monograms. The Juuior year of athletics never went very much farther than a good class team owing to our suspension from the association. At commencement time the Juniors gave their annual reception to the Seniors. Whenever I think of the reception 1 somehow seem to hear Mr. Steffy telling his one favorite story about the Swede boy and girl but, “I tank I said too much already. ” Leroy Aplarnl was our president that year. This year the Senior class has not been very active in social events, but we have our old enthusiasm just the same. We did have a tally pull, however, and succeeded in so stringing taffy on all the hall floors that Mr. Steffy had a hard time writing tardy slips next morning. Another stunt which will be forever remembered occurcd on May 22nd. That day the Seniors grasped their last chance to return to the manners and
