Class of 1924 Once upon a time-two times in fact-there started to the Will or William Moore School: depending upon the residence of their respective parents, some tiny seekers for education. The class started its meteoric rise in two sections: the first in 1912 and the second in 1913. Due to the first section's love for school and the second's love for knowledge-also, perhaps, to mid-year promotion-the two sections are now united in cheerful harmony. The history of the two sections through the first years is about the same. We all learned the same, more or less, for better or worse. In the Junior High School, the Will and the William Moore sections were united, and at once organized a skip day to celebrate. Due to remorse of conscience, we made the time up next day. We also acquir- ed the noted Ed Scott. After final admonitions, threats and warnings, the first section of the class entered the portals of the institution in the fall of 1920. The other section crept in, in January, 1921. The boys immediately lengthened their trousers and the girls shortened their skirts and lo-we were full fledged high-school students. The Freshmen year was more or less un eventful-a few of the usual delightful gym parties were given. The Sophomore year was a series of brilliant achievements. We were represented in foot-ball by Ed Scott and most of the rest of the class received some foot-ball experience. The Sophomore class team won the inter-class tournament. The social season was also a big success. - The Junior year was a year of which we are all proud. The class was organized and under the leadership of very able officers, started to make things hum in a lively man- ner. The first activity was a picnic at Apple Creek, which was a huge success. In athletics the Juniors were well represented by Benser, Captain Scott and Sterling Reid. Most of the members of the track team were Juniors. The Junior Class play was a great success, playing before the largest audience that ever attended a class play in Bismarck. The Junior debating team vanquished the Senior team by a unanimous decision. Perhaps the greatest Junior event was the Junior-Senior Banquet given May 3. It was the largest and most successful banquet ever given in the history of the school. Last, but far from least, We entered the old building this year as dignified Seniors. After reorganizing the class, the picnic was held-Wildwood-big eats, big time-let's have another! After many elections and re-elections, the annual started off with a bang. Eight Seniors will receive foot-ball letters this year- The Seniors are also well repre- sented in basket-ball and track. The Pep, under the management of' the class of '24, has had the most successful year in its history, taking first place in the Northern Scholastic Press Conference. This year's annual is a fitting example of the achievements of the class of '24. me 19 SB 24-'s'm1'5l-B u Pnyc T1vi'lllysr:'vL'n
