,mg I I I I SENIOR CLASS HISTORY lt seems as if it were only yesterday that we, the class of 1931, began our high school career. Thirty-nine of us entered, as all good Freshmen do, green and dumb, and chose George Haas, president, Gladys Bloomingdale. vice-president, and Dorothea Scamchorn to keep the records and take care of the cash. Mr. Porter consented to see that we behaved ourselves at class meetings, parties, etc. XVe found that it was a custom for Freshmen to choose their class motto, flower, and pennant. YVC have been guided by Forward ever, back- ward never . VVe selected the white tea rose as our class flower. Our pen- nant was green and white. Our upper classmen thought we were know-nothings. It was necessary for us to prove that we were not what they thought. XVe did this through various members of our class who made good in Band, Glee Club, Basket- ball, and Baseball, while Grace Mosier and Stratford Halstead were among the honor roll students. Eventually the Freshman year passed and we became Sophomores. During our vacation we lost a few members who thought they would be able to find an easier way than ours. As Sophomores we selected Delbert Stouder as our leader, joseph Mauck assisted him. and Marguerite Martin became class stenographer and cashier. Mr. Porter was reinstated. That year again found undignified Sophomores excelling in Band, Glee Club, Basketball, and Baseball. In the fall of 1929 we emerged as jolly Juniors and were proud of our rank. This year Delbert remained president, Bessie Leatherman became vice-president, and Grace Mosier was chosen secretary and treasurer. Mr. Porter was re-elected sponsor. During our third year we displayed our ingenuity when we gave a car- nival and showed much talent in the class play. Each was a financial suc- cess. Thus we were able to entertain the Senior class of 1930 with a fare- well banquet. This year found seven of our members on the first team in Basketball. and we were represented equally as well in other high school activities. CContinued on page 323 Page twenty-four.
