Senior (ftlass Hiatnry If you remember the mess of greens that sprouted in ’17 and '18, you II remember whether they were tough or not; however, judging from the full grown plant. I suppose you'll say: “Sweet and tender, yet capable of growing sturdy. Look at our caretaker, though. Miss Seymour, isn’t she capable? In 1917 about seventy-five Freshmen started down here to the big school. Were 'em. Miss Seymour was chosen for the great job—you know caretaker, etc. John B.. George Kinman. Helen Machiels and Ruby Rea were our officers. Notable events? Hallowe’en Party at Helen Machiels home on North Main and of course initiations. The party was quite a success, especially for Freshmen. in 1918 we came back with a loss of twenty-nine members. A little loss like this couldn't make much difference to a class as full of pep and good spirit as ours is. Don’t take it that we want to lose members, but then you know you can't afford to spend the time mourning. Maurice Campbell was elected President; Nellie Rotramel, Secretary-Treasurer. The first social event was a very elaborate reception given by the Juniors. (The other two classes were around at various places???) Next was the Soph-Senior reception. We hate to boast but this was one good party. Gee! You get to be Juniors fast on paper, don’t you? But, oh, the agony of this reality. It was too great for a few, but the majority of us came on and on election day for the class we chose Leon Hampton for our President and Juanita Wells, Vice-President; Rosa Rotramel, Secretary-Treasurer. Leon quit school, so Juanita Wells took over the President’s position and Errol Sullivan was elected to her place. The Sophomores entertained us Hallowe’en night with a masquerade party at which there were numerous and varied costumes, the most envied and noticeable being a charming young girl’s frock worn by George Moore. We had refreshments on the inside and fireworks on the outside of the building. Sometime after Xmas we entertained the Sophs at the K. P. Hall with what turned out to be for the greater part a dance. 1 believe postoffice was very popular at one time during the evening when Miss Pfaff became a player at Harry Crisp’s request. (Miss Pfaff still blushes when P. O. is mentioned to her). Our Senior, ahem! (12th) Year began with Harry Stamper on time and Pat, Gene and Carroll back with us again. “Keep it up, boys, we want a good record.” . — George Moore was elected President; Harry Evan Stamper, Vice-President 1G
