CLASS HISTORY When wo entered High School in 1924 es Freshmen, the;' said that' we acted and really were just es green as any bunch of Freshies ever were, but as bright, observant children v.e soon lost some of our greenness, especially at the High School party given by the Junior Class. Wo shov cd good judgment in choosing Miss Cloney for sponsor and in electing the class officers who were: Victor St. John, Presidcn ; Kathryn Judd, Vice-President; James French, So cite bapryr, .£b®8 - ; Frances Harrington, Treasurer. Wo had our two class parties at which wo behaved remarkably well, sc you see we were learning. Wilomar (Bill) Skinner became our hero on the boy's basketball term and has been so ever since. ;e were equaly proud of Lora ire Lean and Loris McNally on the girl's team. Y;e, as Sophomores in '25 elected Mr. Conrad sponsor and Kathryn Judd, President; Victor St. John, Vice-President; Frances Harrington, Secretary; and Loraire Lean, Treas urer. We had lost all of that greenish tinge and our upper class mates acknowledged that v e might get to be Seniors some day. We hac. the usual class parties and in- ing the custcmrr;, class play, v;c vited the Freshmen to one of them v hile they in turn, invited us to one of theirs. The parties were great fun, but of course, we weren't allowed to initiate the Freshies much to our disappointment. We still he a the same ones plus some more on both the boy's and girl's basketball teams, although perhaps some of the players prospects were good. When, Kappa mates, Frances Harrington, and Kathryn Judd, were invited to join It might be added that they prompt ly accepted the invitation and became charter members. Luring our year as Jolly Juniors Mrs. Allen as usual for lucky Juniors, was our class sponsor. The first semester v e elected Howard Ingleright, President; Arthur Busse, Vice-?resident;Loris McNally, Secretary; and Frances Harrington, Treasurer. The second semester: Frances Harrington, President; Arthur Busse, Vice-President; Alden Krause, Secretary; and Lpraine Lean, Treasurer. V e gave the annual High School Perty and as it was Hallowe'en, we had a masquerade. Our Junior rings came on the twenty-ninth of November and we surely were the happiest bunch of Juniors that ever were, and especially when Ur. Stewart agreed that they were the best looking class rings that he ever saw. Of course v e knew they were the b‘ st, but it's nice to have others say sc too. Nyl But weren't we proud of our two basketball Captains? Bill Skinner, Captain of the boy's team, and Lorcir.e Loan of the girl's. Juniors I Think of that'. Also we added an-othcr member of our class to Kappa Psi, Virginia Palmer, and again we were well represented in the High School Orchestra. Instead of giv- proso..t d the film The Passion Play at the theatre which was a. decided success. Soon after the banquet we ,-avc the Seniors, our fond hope of bcin , dignified Seniors was realized. After three months cf vacation, our longings v crc satisfied. ’”o were Seniors. We started the years activities the first semester by were only on the second team, thei:-electing Frances Harrington, res- ident; Arthur Eusse, Vice-President; Psi was organized, two of our class Aider. Krause, Secrete ry; and Howard Ingleright, Treasurer. Our social activities were very few. The (cont. page 12)
