In all we were, Francis Goken, Roy Nelson, Ray Bone, Elwood McKinley, Alfred Smith, Leland Conn, Earnie McKee, Harold McKee, Cloyd Nelson and myself, the only girl. You know how green all freshmen are, well—we were just one shade grener, but we soon got accustomed to our environ- ment, and the jests of our upper classmen. We had hoped to finish out- freshman year together but in the fall, Cloyd Nelson and Harold McKee left school for the occupation of hopping clods. The rest of us finished our freshman year with only a few Hunkers. The first Monday in September, 1919, found us back again, with the exception of Earnie McKee and Harold McKinley, not Freshmen, but wmmmmm

Sophomores, feeling as big as the biggest Seniors. We added two, to our group, two sisters, Ethel and Hazel McConnell. With the beginning of the second semester we welcomed Faye Patterson as a classmate. During this year we lost Alfred Smith, who went to Indiana, and Leland Conn who went to work on the farm. During this year we did not enter into any activities. The year 1920-1921 found all of us back again as Juniors, and Lenore Malone “our fun-maker” took her place amongst us. During this year we gave the play, “Clarence Decides,” which was enjoyed by everyone and added to our fame. We entertained the graduates of 1921 with a Junior- Senior banquet, which was appreciated by them. This year 1921-1922 found the Juniors of last year, all Seniors, proving our position by our dignity and superiority over the under-class- men. This year we consider the most important one during our four-year course. Bernard Myers and Nellie Larson joined us, having finished their Junior year in the Decatur High School. Bernard Myers was elected class president; Gladys King, vice-presi- dent; Ethel McConnell, secretary and treasurer, with Mr. B. A. Hedges our class adviser. He brought about the establishment of the “Leaders Club,” all charter members being Seniors except Lynn Hill. The Senior charter members being Faye Patterson, Bernard Myers, Elwood Mc- Kinley, and Roy Nelson. Faye was elected president; Elwood, secretary and treasurer. The school decided to publish a school paper the “A. C. H. S. Special.” I aye Patterson was elected editor-in-chief, and Roy Nelson, business man- ager, and later George Malone took his place after Roy left us for Iowa. The school elected to form an Athletic Association, electing Elwood McKinley president, and Gladys King, secretary and treasurer. Nellie Larson was elected editor-in-chief of the “Argentorian,” with George Malone as business manager. We gave our Senior play, “The Bashful Mr. Bobbs,” in which we all took part. So you see we have been busy making our grades and taking charge of most of the activities of the school. We were very sorry to have Roy Nelson our athletic leader and basket- ball captain, and Ray Bone another favorite classmate to leave us, but as the saying goes “It all must be for the best,” so Ray and Roy we wish you much happiness and great success. Celia Garvin joined us as a Senior at the beginning of the second semester. We were glad to have her join us. She was, by public vote, elected our “Queen o’ May.” We are proud to say we are Seniors and are standing on the threshold which leads to the undetermined future. May each classmate go through his or her life without the disappointments and hardships which often- times cast their shadows over our lives. —Gladys King Dunkel. iniiiiininimiHiiiiHiiniimiiiiiiniinmmmnHiinrinniinmmmnnwnwnniiTiniinmnwnnim—!■»
