History of Class of ’21 Some years ago the members of this class started out in pursuit of knowledge. It need not be mentioned how well they, who started in the little red brick school house with Miss Lawrence as their teacher, were drilled in their A. B, C’s and 1.2, 3's. The class has shown its ability in the past and will even show greater ability in the future. The class of ’21 will be remembered for years to come and even the class below us will have to work quite hard to gain as high a goal as the class of ’21 has done and will do forever. The members of the class who started to school on that memorable morning early in September 1909 are Leonard Minges, Ada West, Kenneth Vetting, Goldie Thomas, Anna Bacher and Mildred Graves. From there we traveled to the second grade where Helen Wagner, and Eldora Fisk joined us, in the fourth grade Gladys Camblin, fifth Charles Maloney and Evelyn Carroll, seventh Kenneth Townsley and Emmiline Kruse. We then entered High school as ’the little green freshinen but we knew we weren’t as green as any of the others. Here Hugo Abbott joined our ranks. We set to work with the x’s and y’s of algebra and the dreaded Latin, so we hadn’t much time for anything else. We were represented during the freshmen year in athletics by Charles Maloney in basket-ball. Thus ended our freshmen year. We entered the sophomore year with high hopes ami ambitions. In this class we met Beulah Hiatt, Louis Damours and Lillie Griffith. We were represented by Gladys Camblin and Charles Maloney on the basket-ball teams. We started the junior year with renewed interest as we had a complete change of faculty. As a result we were quite unsettled in our school work as well as in our athletics. This year several new members entered our class namely: Lloyd Headrick, Harold Brown, Ruth Lane, baith Steward, Ralph Denton and Esther Brown. Then we entered the happiest year of our high school life as dignified seniors. Here we had our new school building with its well equipped rooms for the different branches of study, as well as an auditorium and gymnasium. In this happy year the S. F. C. club was formed under the suggestion of Mrs. Schneider nee Miss Weibelt. Only senior girls are eligible. Among the new friends we find in our class this year are: Lucille Weis, Raymond Fox, Clifford Nan Scyoc and Emmiline Herera. Now that commencement is so close at hand we are filled with the thought that we will never meet again in the dear old High School. May we all prosper in the future years at whatever tasks we undertake and may we recall with pleasure the good old times the members of the class of '21 have had together. One half score and two years ago our mothers brought in to the little red school house a new class of pupils, invested by ignorance but dedicated to the proposition that all children are created equal to learn. Now we are engaged in a great strife for knowledge, testing whether that class of pupils or any class of pupils so invested and so dedicated can long endure the test. We are met on a great battlefield of that strife for knowledge. We have come to dedicate a portion of that class of pupils as a final tribute for those who here gave their time and talents that knowledge might be gained. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate—we cannot hallow—this class of pupils. I he brave pupils who have struggled through all the years to gain this knowledge have concentrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we have done. It is rather for us to dedicate ourselves to the unfinished work that we have before us. That from the honored task we give increased knowledge of that cause for which we give the last full measure of our strength. 1 hat we may here resolve that these pupils shall not have worked in vain-that this class with Gods guidance shall have a new gift of knowledge and that such desire for more knowledge shall not perish from the earth.
