THE CENTENNIAL FRE,SHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September ninth, forty of us freshman found our way up to the high school building. After the first few days of rush and mad hunting for class rooms, we calmed down. Our class was organized October sixth and the following officers were elected for the first semester: Leonard Hetland, President Eleanor Hetland, Vice President Alma Ruhe, Secretary Ruth Ensley, Treasurer Herbert Goecks, Serg’t-at-arms Miss Hutchinson was chosen as our sponsor. Her help and advice has been greatly appreciated by the class. One of the things we spent the most time on was the carnival. Aside from having candy booths, a crazy house and a fortune-telling booth, we gave a Burlesque Chautauqua at the auditorium in the afternoon. This program was presented by Runoff Gasaleeno and his comapny of “Froscrastinatin Agrivators”. The programe was as follows: 1. Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms, by O. C. Mc- Comical (Leonard Hetland) and I. M. Fullahop (Herbert Goecks) 2. A Violin Solo by Greats Patafootski (Carl Christofferson) 3. The Highwayman by Runoff Gasaleeno (Harold Snow; 4. I Love You Truly by 0. C. McGomical (Leonard Hetland) 5. The Last Rose Of Summer by I. M. Fullahop (Herbert Goecks) 6. Lecture by Ima Screem (Ruth Green) 7. Cartoons by Dan I. Drawpunsky (Dan Cushman) The freshman also had the honor of having the Carnival Queen elected from their class. One from each class was nominated and out of the four the Freshman nominee, Ruth Green was chosen Queen of the Carnival. This is the first time a queen was elected from the freshman class. In athletics we did our part in football, basketball and track. The boys who played on the first team were: Paul Christoff erson, Virgil Prugh and Wesley Kimble. Both the boys and girls took part in basketball. Those who played on the first team were: Herbert Goecks and Leonard Hetland. On the girls’ team were: Ruth Green and Alma Ruhe. A large .majority of both boys and girls were out for track. One other activity which showed the talent of the freshman, was the declamation contest. Out of the six chosen in the preliminary contest four were freshman. They were: Ruth Green, Eleanor Hetland, Bertha Hokenson and Harold Snow. The class may be proud of these members who showed great ability along this line and have very good prospects for the future. AIMA RHLJE.

In ’23 the class of ’27 known as a “Peppy Outfit” entered high school with an enrollment of thirty students. Miss Stark sponsored the class and with her help we took an active part in high school activities and made a very good showing at the carnival. Two parties were given during the year and the term wras ended with a snappy class picnic, at which we entertained the faculty and the senior class. In ’24 we took up the trail where we had left it the preceding year and in spite of the fact that nearly half of our number had dropped out, we de- termined to keep our reputation as royal entertainers and gave the initial party after the mixer, to celebrate St. Valentines day. In athletics the Sophomores were representd well for such a small class, Arthur Holst holding a position cn the football team, while Perle Cline, Carl Christofferson and Arthur Holst in track. In girls Basketball the class was represented very effectively by Geneva Pearson, Myrtle Christofferson, Mildred Flatness, Mamie Pokorny and Louise Works. In track by; Anna Kalanik, Mamie Pokorny, Geneva Pearson, Louise Works, Myrtle Christofferson and Celia Larson. The Sophomores owe a great deal of their success this year to the un- tiring efforts of their sponsor, Miss McMurtrey. We return next year as Juniors and hope to keep up our reputation as the peppiest class in school. VERLIN HURD, ’27
