 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 3T WAS 5i warm, sunny clay in September. 1921, when the class of ’25 climbed the steps and entered upon the high road of knowledge, and enrolled in our famous Institution as “Freshies.” At first we were very meek and timid, and the Sophs., and upper-classmen tried to initiate us. but soon gave up in dispair, as the class spirit was too strong to tolerate any indignities. The first class meeting was held under the supervision of our worthy principal, Archie M. Connell. Miss Evans was elected as our class ad- visor. The class officers elected were: Stella Butler, president: Dorothy Jordan, vice-president: Langford White, secretary, and Derrill Kimnear. t rea surer. The first activity in which the class as a whole participated was a Freshman-Sophomore party given in the high school gymnasium, January sixth. 1922. The Freshman class was well represented in sill school athletics during its first year in the A. H. S. The next year, although our number was somewhat decreased, we were the same peppy bunch. The chief event of the Sophomore year was 5i party given for the “Freshies,” held January twenty-fifth. 1923. in the Elk's home which proved to be a very successful affair, and every one agreed that the Sophs were very good at entertaining. In 1922-23 the class was again well represented in athletics and in all school activities. Even on the debating team. Clayton Rogers, a Sophomore, was a member of the team, and Lucy Wittine, the alternate. The officers were: Clayton Rogers, president: Paul Shannon, vice- president: Kenneth Kackley, secretary, and Dorothy Jordan, treasurer. Miss Evans was again chosen advisor for the year, and it was largely due ro her great efforts that we succeeded in sill our activities. This year we became upper-classmen—Juniors!! As we entered the remodeled school building it seemed as though we were entering a new world. We decided that we would make this si red letter year and started out with much enthusiasm and. judging from the wonderful success of our class, we have kept to our resolution. The Juniors have starred in all forms of athletics. Our social affairs this year have followed the traditions of the school. The annual Junior Mixer was held in the Eagle’s hall. November ninth. 1923. and a good time was had by all. We proudly upheld the dignities of our position by giving the Junior Prom, which proved to be the best Prom given in the history of the A. H. S. It was a Dutch affair and the Elk's home, where it was given, was tastefully decorated in Dutch blue and gold. This year the entire debate team was made up of Juniors! Marjorie Wilson. Marion Souliere. and Clayton Rogers, with Dorothy Cram, the alternate. They showed the old class spirit in all of their work, and although they weren’t always victorious, they promise a one hundred per cent, team next year and we know that it will be ji winning team. During the past year the following have served as class officers: Langford White, president : Stella Butler, vice-president: Catherine Lands- borough. secretary, and Paul Shannon, treasurer. Miss Brethorst was chosen class advisor and Miss Bewle.v. roll teacher. We hope to keep up our past good record in the remaining events of the schoolyear and maintain the lead which we have at tin present time. We hope to continue to manifest a loyal school and class spirit and to show a hearty co-operation in striving to P
