S. and through many generations I have watched the classes come and go, but I've never seen a class half so bright or so different in their actions as the Senior Class of 24. The class entered Senior High in l92l. The first thing accomplished was the election of officers. Q I smiled with approval when I saw them choose Paul Freeman as president, and Eleanor Reppert as vice-president. Prom the color of her hair I knew that she was capable of looking after the president. The Secre- tary was Charles Casto, and Treasurer, Annis Ross. Much to my horror I saw them deliberately choose blue and gold for their class colors. I prefer green and white, perhaps it is because student usually impress me as being green. Margaret Kiddy won the Farnsworth Gold Medal Contest and I nodded my head with pride. I was present at the picnic, which this class, when Sophomores, gave the Senior Class of Junior High at .lackson's Grove. Sixty-live enrolled as Juniors. Again I was pleased to see that the officers who were re-elected were capable of their positions: French l-lyre, President: Edward Bratt, Vice-Presidentg Eleanor Reppert, Secretary: Grace McCartney, Treasurer. I influenced Mr. Grose and had Miss Snodgrass, Miss Pickens, Miss Putnam, and Mr. Bonar to direct that fine class. Kermit Proudfoot, Robert English, and Oscar Johnson were football letter men, Oscar won, also,'a basket-ball letter. This was a fine showing and I was as proud of them as I am of my uowlyn grandsons. The Senior girls challenged the Junior girls to a tug of war. I flappecl my wings until my specs rolled off, when the Junior girls won. The Juniors led in nearly everything during the year 23, and the social func- tions closecl with a banquet given by the Juniors for the Seniors in the basement of the College gym. After this event nothing of importance happened during the school year, so I moved my place of abode up to the bell tower where I could be comfortable during the summer months. V A One morning while taking a quiet nap, I was startled by the ringing of the bell and wondered what was going on, so I came down and perched on the gong. Immediately up the stairs came the class of 24. I was glad to see them back again. In a few days they settled down to work and soon afterward a class meeting was called at which time the following officers were elected: French Hyre, Presiclentg Kermit an '51 l36l -
