■ -■ THE RESUME ■ i Senior Class History WE are about to enter into life’s unknown sea, unknown because we have never traveled it before. We shall all be separated and perhaps never meet again. Some shall go one place and some another but we hope that all will become good citizens. We first started in as Freshmen strong. Of course we were green or the faculty would not have placed us where they did. However green things grow and we did too. Some decided to wade through Latin and Caesar while the rest took commercial arithmetic and geography. We got along very nicely that year and in the spring of 1921 after getting our grade cards we found the word Sophomore written on them. That year our class came down to 37. Some of the boys took Manual Training and some of the girls took Hygiene while the rest of us rode thru Caesar but not on ponies. Oh! No. We were too good for that. February 22, 1922, was an eventful day when Mr. Snyder announced the birth of a ten pound baby girl at his home. Our Sophomore girl’s basket ball team won the championship that year in the interscholastic games. We had several parties and many good times but it was not until the third year that the fun began. Now that year we dwindled down to 31. We thought we were almost it because we were sent over to the Commercial Room with the Seniors. Some decided to take a Commercial Course while the rest of us tried a College Preparatory Course. In the fall we had a rabbit supper at Esther Deeter’s and did justice to the rabbits which were nine. We elected Carl Shackinger Class President. On the 17th of March we had a St. Patrick's and Kid party at Ellen Laughman’s. Then in the Spring came the Junior Play and Reception. It was a still more eventful day when we came to school one day last spring and found that we should start in as Seniors in the fall. This year has been the shortest and best of all because it is the last. We met early and organized our class, electing Esther Deeter, President and Millard Snyder, Secretary. Then we had another meeting and elected an Annual Staff. The French Class decided to organize, so one afternoon we stopped long enough to do so. It was named “Le Cercle Francais. Also the Commercial Class met and organized, “The Rotary Club.” Everyone knows that the rabbit law comes in November 15, and not to be out done by the Juniors we had a rabbit supper in the High School Building, November 24. Every one had a very good time. I must not forget to mention that we had one little boy in the class by the name of Jack I llery, and a girl who very seldom talked by the name of Llora Katherman. We had many good times with little Margaret Bashore and big Susie Carter and Clyde Brant. We had a certain ring in our class who were always talking. This ring was composed of Margaret Loxley, Wilma Loxley, Gertrude Deeter, Frances Wiekert, Herbert Hill and Millard Snyder. If anything came up in Physic’s Class we did not understand Guy Shear could always explain it by means of the Strand Theater. When we wished to know the life of a certain author in American Literature we never failed to ask Therin Fahnestock. We were never able to get any giggles out of Margaret Keogh. During our four years we had but one complete change of teachers with the exception of Mr. Snyder. He was our old stand by and to know him was to like him. We liked the teachers we had the first three years very much but wre were equally satisfied this year with our new teachers. Our Superintendent has labored very earnestly in our behalf and what ever success attend us in later life must be attributed in part to the earnest labor of all of them. B. M. 21
