QTfje iflounb Butlber Class History To all good things an end must come, and we thought the end of joy and pleasure had surely come when first we came into the assembly room and there gazed upon the massive Mr. Sims and the scowling visage of Mr. Brown. Our attitudes were soon changed, however, and we started high school life in good spirit with a brilliant display of green caps and umbrellas on initiation day, the sixth of October. On the evening of that day an initiation party was held in the assembly room, and after that eventful evening we felt ourselves pledged to our school. Our class then numbered twenty-five. We were soon convinced that our first task was organization. We accomplished this at a class rpeeting in which Harold Hunt was elected president and Miss Romig, class adviser. We did not want to be too forward, so we quietly as- sumed our duties as a class. Early in the fall we had a wiener roast in the well known Johnson ravine and were entertained with several thrilling ghost stories by Harold Hunt and Hulda Philen. On the staff of the Carpet Bag, our school magazine, we were duly represented by Vivian Fletcher, Harold Hunt, Sinclair Cowles, and Lillian Brown. It was during this year that a glee club was formed under the direction of Mr. Sims, which gave a very success- ful operetta, The Windmills of Holland. Vivian Fletcher, Lillian Brown, Mary Malloy, and Harold Hunt were selected from the Freshman class to as- sist. In the other dramatics of the year we took no active part, but we were given the opportunity to present, under the direction of Miss Romig, a dram- atized version of Old Testament Stories.” Harold Hunt, in a comic portrayal of King Pharaoh, was easily the star of the affair. When the school Senate was formed, William Kuschel represented our class. The last big event of the year was the all high school picnic at Foster. We took up our duties as Sophomores without the competent leadership of Harold Hunt. Vivian Fletcher was chosen president and Miss Corey, class adviser. In basketball we were well represented by Sinclair Cowles and Mary Malloy. Sinclair Cowles won third prize in the essay contest of that year. On Hallowe’en every member of our class turned out for the search party. The girls won, but the boys seemed to enjoy the Christmas party just as much as did the girls, who were the guests of honor that evening. In the spring we had another very successful wiener roast in the Becker ravine, and later the entire high school motored to Bonanza for the annual picnic. In organizing the class in our Junior year, we selected Sinclair Cowles to be our president. Miss Olin was appointed class adviser. Our various talents were soon discovered, and on the stage we were creditably represented by Howard Malm, Mary Malloy, and Sinclair Cowles, who were used in a number of dramatic events. In the essay contest of that year Vivian Fletcher and Marc Seeber won second and third prizes respectively with essays on the subject, “Why I Want an Education. One of our social achievements of the year was a valentine party at which we entertained the Seniors and Faculty. Under the direction of Mrs. Brown, we presented as our Junior play, Peg O' My Heart,” on the evening of April 3, 1925. It proved to be a fine suc- cess, both dramatically and financially. Immediately after, we began prepar- ation for the Junior-Senior banquet, which took place at the high school on Page Nineteen
