History of the Class of 1919 (ELSA LARSON) FRESHMAN YEAR Most Freshman classes are content to tiptoe noiselessly about and bask in the reflected glory of tlie upper classes, but not so the class of ’19. Early in the second semester the class organized and the following officers were elected: President, Lloyd Dalgity. Vice-President, Wenona Dyer. Secretary, Clara Settem. Treasurer, Priscilla Eakin. Editor, Frances Ward. Sergeant-at-Arms, Ivan Cox. The annual Freshman Mixer is now an institution, but let it not be forgotten that it was innovated by the 1919’ers! Several successful candy sales were given, and toward the close of tin 1 year the Freshman picnic to Deep River was an event enjoyed by all who participated. SOPHOMORE YEAR The ’19 class blossomed out into the period of “wise fools” with glorious prom¬ ise, and with characteristic wisdom chose the following officers: President, Clara Settem. Vice-President, Ernest Manula. Secretary, Agnes Haroldson. Treasurer, Wenona Dyer. Editor, Elsa Larson. Boys’ Basketball Manager, Paul Kearney. Girls’ Basketball Manager, Grace Goodell. Who in the class has forgotten “Old Clothes Day,” when the Sophs appeared in garb which should have called forth a relief drive? Do you remember Mr. Hayes’ overalls ? A couple of candy sales were given during the year. It was decided that of¬ ficers should be elected every semester so that no one should feel the burden of office too heavily. JUNIOR YEAR The First Semester officers were: President, Merle Ilussong. Vice-President, Minnie Ambler. Secretary, Margaret Ross. Treasurer, Priscilla Eakin. Editor, Elsa Larson. Sergeant-at-Arms, Wenona Dyer. Money! Money! It is the cry of the classes, and this was no exception. For patriotic reasons, only one candy sale was given, but the war cafeteria and a hot dog sale were very successful. The Juniors did another unheralded thing. Two editions of the literary gem, “The Crow of The Junior Cock,” were printed and hailed -with delight! 19

Second Semester: President, Merle Hussong. Vice-President, Clyde Johnson. Secretary, Stanley Stickle. Treasurer, Priscilla Eakin. E ditor, Elsa Larson. Another very successful war cafeteria was given, greatly adding to the anxious cares of the Treasurer. Clara Settein succeeded Merle Hussong to the Presidency when the latter was forced to resign. The Juniors, with characteristic promptness, arose to meet I node Sam’s appeal, and it was decided to give a simple Junior Prom in the A. H. S. gym and thus conserve more than usual. The gym was prettily decorated in purple and gold streamers and trailing greens, and the shaded lights enhanced the simple beauty of the affair. The Juniors also decorated the stage for Commencement, and sup¬ plied ushers for that event and for the Baccalaureate Sermon. SENIOR YEAR With a grave and dignified cap and gown looming in the distance the Senior Class entered school with a great surplus of pep. First Semester: President, Margery Gilbert. Vice-President, Stanley Stickle. Secretary, Minnie Ambler. Treasurer, Frances Ward. Editor, Elsa Larson. Sergeant-at-Arms, Wenona Dyer. The first epidemic of Flu was certainly terrible! This statement can be proved by the fact that it entirely upset the activities of the ’19 Class. Second Semester: President, Margery Gilbert. Vice-President, Thomas Sandoz. Secretary, Emily Anderson.

Sergeant-at-Arms, Merle Hussong. the chief event ot the second semester was the Senior benefit given at the Hitatei thi.-, spiing. 1 he audeville stunts will be long remembered by all saw them.
