We began our junior year by electing Ralph Lampman, president; Barbara Cline, vice-president: Janies Shearer, secretary, and Lucy Graf, treasurer. This year seven new members, Iona Iddings, Helen Sliutts, Jeanette Hendry, Wendell German, Eugene Yockey, Elizabeth Delano and Harold VanHusan joined our class and two. Eva and Louise Dirrim, left us. About the last of Yarch the class officers began looking for a play which would be suitable to be given as our junior production. Finally they decided on Betty’s Last Bet. A tryout w'as held and the different roles were assigned to the students w ho were able to play them most naturally. After much practicing the play was presented to a very large crowd on the evening of Vay 5th. It was given in a way which was a credit to the cast and to our class. In a few weeks we began to plan for the Junior-Senior reception. At last after the invitations were sent, decorating done, amusement and program planned and the refreshments arranged, the banquet w'as held on the evening of Vay the seventeenth in the parlors of the Christian church. Although outside the weather was damp and rainy, all was gay and jolly inside and everybody had a wonderful time. After the final examinations and the Commencement Exercises at which the members of our class were ushers, were over, our junior record was closed. Following a pleasant and busy summer vacation, our class assembled once more. During the summer one of our members, Elizabeth Delano, decided to substitute married life for school life. Three new members, Pauline Frederick and Bertha Perkins, from Stroll, and Preston Moody entered our class. We elected as class officers: Ralph Lampman. president: James Williamson. vice-president, and Barbara Cline, secretary and treasurer. Soon we held a class meeting to discuss the matter of class rings and pins. After choosing the design, the pins and rings were ordered and they arrived about the middle of December. When the mid-year examinations were over, we began to plan for the Commencement Issue of the ‘‘Key,” determined to begin early so that we should have plenty of time to prepare an especially good number. In February we began working on the opera “The Mikado” which was to be given as a Senior production with the assistance of choruses from the sophomore and junior classes. After a great deal of hard work on the part of Mr. Braman, the cast, and the choruses, it wras presented on Friday and Saturday evenings. March 23rd and 24th, in the Community Buildinig which w'as packed with spectators both evenings. The opera was very highly complimented and was said to have been the greatest success in the line of dramatics or music ever produced by Angola High School. After the excitement following the staging of the “Mikado” had subsided. we began planning the different matters connected with our graduation. Although graduation will close the chapter of the grade and high school history of our class, still each member as he goes forth to meet the problems of life, and we hope each one will become distinguished in whatever path of life he follows, will help to form the future history of our class. Among the original members of our class who are graduating are: William Croxton, James Shearer. Lawrence Wolfe. Sarah Barron, Barbara Cline, Byrona Allison. Yoland Miller. Rolene Rowley, Eleanor Robertson, Helen McNeal, Mildred Thomas, Ruth Williamson, Martha Wood. Ruth Wert, Areline Fast, James Williamson. Emmet Spade and Adeline Hughes. —Ruth Alvison, ’23
