THECANOE Senior Class History “Full many a flower Is born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness on the desert air, says Emerson. This, however, does not hold true of the members of the class of '25, who, twenty-three in number, wandered into the Berrien Springs High School on September 4, 1921, with the realization that they were merely “green freshies. Soon the Sophomores aided us in becoming acquainted and feeling “more at home” by entertaining us at Smith Lake. Several other parties and similar activities helped to brighten up our way during the dull winter months. Thus we trudged through our first year's course and were glad when the summer vacation arrived. By the beginning of the next school year our so-called greenness had somewhat faded and we were obliged to proclaim ourselves as faithful Sophomores. Although Mr. Arink and Miss Carter had left us, their places were well filled by Mr. Johnson and Miss Beach. Several of our members had left us but another. Ethlene Johnson, joined us, whom we chose as our class president. This year consisted of several interesting events, the most striking one being that the other classes were compelled to acknowledge us as the best salesmen of tickets for ball games and plays. In reward for this we were each treated with an ice cream sundae at the expense of the other classes. This year having come to a close we looked forward with anticipation to becoming “Jolly Juniors.” The third year, as in that preceding, several of our number were members of the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams. In November we showed our gratitude to the other classes by giving an all-school party which was very successful. We co-operated with the Senior class in the presentation of the comedy, “Nothing But the Truth.” in which our esteemed president. Gordon Mandigo. was the principal character. Another contribution of our class to the school activities was that Dorothy, Ethlene. Robert and Gordon participated in debating. After giving a banquet for tbe Seniors and tbe Faculty, and helping the Seniors to graduate, we with pride closed our third year of High School life. In the fall of 1924 we again entered our Old High with refreshed minds and clear consciences. But this time we were “supposed-to-be-dignified” Seniors, possessed of high ideals and ambitions of attaining success in the business world. Because of the fact that Jessie Gorham. Florence Bohleber, and Alvin Pfeiffer had chosen to leave us, our number had dwindled down to fourteen, but one of the places was filled by Glenn Briggs. Two of our members, Ethlene and Robert, were successful members of the debating team. About the beginning of the second semester we began working on the Annual. This year, as before, our class shared in athletics. On April 23 and 24 we presented the comedy, “Seventeen,” which proved a great success. Now we look forward to graduation with keen interest, but darkness falls upon us as we think of leaving the good “old pals and our dear “old High.” MAMIE HANSON MARY EWALT Page Nineteen
