Senior History On the first of September, 1922, one hundred seventy-eight zealous, curious, interested and indifferent Freshmen found themselves in High School for the first time. We elected Joe Nolen, president; Enos Perry, vice-president; Mural Wilson, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Trank, advisor. Blue and White were chosen class colors. We entertained ourselves with a Freshman Mixer early in the season. Later we entertained the Sophomores with a party. As Sophomores, we discovered that a great number of our classmates had deserted us for the more trivial things which life offered so that only one hundred nineteen of us were left to conquer the more difficult problems of the coming years. This, however, did not discourage us; for our Freshmen timidity was gone. We elected Enos Perry, Lucille Machiels and Esther Kell to represent our class as officers. Mr. Trank, having left us we elected Miss Herschbach as our class advisor. The Juniors entertained us with a Hallowe'en party, which was returned by us at Christmas time with a Kid party. Later we entertained with a Guest party at which all of the classes were represented. Floyd Gasoway was a star on the Basketball team that year and Lena Kirsch was acknowledged one of the four best orators in the Oratorical Contest. Our Junior year was the one which gave us most pleasure. Our officers this year were: Lucille Machiels, president; Walter Ewing, vice-president and Lela Keet, secretary-treasurer. Miss Herschbach was retained class advisor. During our Junior year we had many social events among which were the picnics, Junior-Soph Hallowe'en party, Junior-Senior Banquet and Guest Prom. “What Happened to Jones was presented twice to the public. The second time it was given at the Capitol Theatre for the benefit of the tornado sufferers. Our class was represented on the debating team which, for the first time in the history of our school, won the championship of Southern Illinois. With the title Senior” we not only acquired new dignity, but felt that we now had reached the pinnacle of our high school career. Lena Kirsch was elected president; Jerome Rea, vice-president; Martha Layman, secretary-treasurer. We kept Miss Herschbach as our class advisor. We also elected Miss Seymour as assistant sponsor. During the first semester we entertained ourselves with a Hallowe'en party. “Hector,” a one act play, was presented by the Junior and Senior classes during Education Week. “Adam and Eva,” the Senior Class play was well received by a very large audience. Floyd Gasoway was elected captain of the f xnball team of '25. Five of the six members of the debating team were Seniors. Paul Manis had the leading role in the Operetta. Although we Seniors have acquitted ourselves with a great deal of knowledge along different lines, we realize now at graduation time that we are not in any sense world-wise, but that we have made merely a beginning in the great field of learning.
