THE POST Mentor Class Kistoru On a bright September morning in 1917, a large class of Freshmen began their stormy way through the Atwood Township High School. There were twenty-seven of us, and we believed ourselves to be nearly perfect. As soon as we were well started in our work, we found that there were many things which we had never known and some things were in existence which we had never even imagined. Fifteen of this group came from the Atwood Grade school, some came from Pierson, and the remainder came from the surrounding rural schools. The members of the class have worked very diligently. Although a few became discouraged and left school, the remaining eighteen have stayed until the end. Fred Billman was our star in athletics the first year. Margaret Hofsas represented the girls of the A. T. H. S. at Monticello in the oratorical contest. The opening of the second year found some changes. September 1918, saw twenty-one Sophomores, nineteen members of the original twenty-seven members. Tiana Dragoo from Camargo and Edna Harder from Garrett. We had the school spirit and to prove this we were the only class to hang its banner in the assembly hall. We had three boys in athletics, Leslie Doty, Henry Wilson and Fred Billman, and one girl, Cleone Rose, in the oratorical contest. Both class and school were saddened by the death of Fred Billman, March 13, 1919, and Margaret Hofsas, July 8, 1919. September 1919, saw twenty-one Juniors come to take their places next the Seniors. Three of our members were in the oratorical contest this year. One of our boys, Henry Wilson, went out for athletics. Our number decreased to twenty. The year of twenty and twenty-one saw eighteen of the class enter A. T. H. S. We felt as only those who have been Seniors can feel. We were again able to have a football and basketball stars on the team, and representatives in the oratorical contest. The times of work and pleasure are almost gone. We are considered as children no longer, but old enough and competent enough to choose for ourselves the vocation which we wish to follow; and to work to that end. As the class divides, let us take time to think back on those good old times that we have had together in A. T. H. S. and let us not think that the best of life is gone, but the best is yet to come.
