lu u n ui , ll Q jigurplgmhgnlh Q n no n u dl Our Junior year was one of study and meditation as the long honor rolls of that time bear witness. Miss Sigfridson felt she couldn't take care of us and the depot at the same time so she took a leave of absence for a term. announcing her marriage to Nathan Dowell of Dec. 24, 1922, in July. Miss Palmer took her place. Miss Cottingham and Mr. Sterl- ing were the other new teachers. Mr. Bass left us for a banking career and Mr. Lawrence took his place. The greatest social events given during the year were the Junior and Sen- ior Banquet in compliment of the graduating class of 1923, and the ban- quet given in honor of the football team. The coach of the team, Mr Jim Sterling, was also our class adviser. A kindred spirit had grown up between the two classes of Juniors and Seniors since our rivalry as Sopho- mores and Freshies, and it was with downcast spirits that we watched them depart and leave us behind to step into their places as leaders of the school. After this year of training in the social whirl we felt ready to shoulder the responsibilities and dignities becoming to a senior. We are now fourteen in number, Mae McGlaughlin and William Cast- or coming from Penfield to grace us with their presence. And now we have come to the portal leading out into life. This last year in High School has been one of combined study and pleasure. Mrs. Dowell came back to steer us into port as our class adviser. Mr. Maxey, Mr. Nelson, Miss Kapitan, Miss Alexander, and Mr. Lawrence completed the crew. Our class oiificers are Arleene Wright CPresidentJ, Mae McGlaughlin CVice Presidentl, Frank Andrews CSec. and Treaaal, but Arleene Wright left us in April to finish in the Urbana High School, so Mae was her suc- cessor. Several having dropped out during our voyage, some to teach, some to get married, and some to work in other lines, we are now only 11 of the original number, but with Mae and Bill there will be 13 to reach the end of our voyage. Under their leadership we have grown somewhat beyond the grind of the Junior year into the larger freedom of the Senior. On December 20 we gave our play called Come Out of the Kitchen , under the direction of Mrs. Dowell. At the end of the fourth year a list very creditable to the Seniors was made out telling who had absorbed the most Knowledge dur- ing the voyage, thirteen in number. Jean Smith, outclassing us all by receiving an average of almost 92, was made Valedictorian and Bill Cas- tor, running close, became salutatorian with an average of a fraction over 90. And now the four long years have passed, the Freshmen of 1920 are the Seniors of 1924. We have had many experiences during our voyage, of which the most enjoyable ones far outweigh the unpleasant ones. As we Seniors scan the horizon from the stepping stone of Graduation, we see many conquests to be made and many rocks and detours in our high4 way of life, but we believe that in the future, as in the past, we will show I n 3l' ll' L-'CAD 1924 G-n sir -ir-Turin WI
