beniur Qllass Zlaistnrp In the fall of 1920, Cedar Falls High School was honored by the en- trance into its midsts of a class, of about 65 pupils. True, we might have appeared as green and gawky as any of the preceding Freshman classes, but even then a close observer could see signs of unusualness about us. Perhaps Miss Thrush, our sponser, was one of these close observers, for she was very kind and patient with us and did all in her power to guide us safely through our first and hardest year of high school. Our one and only social event of that first year was a picnic up the river. After our much-needed three months' vacation in the summer of '21, we went back to school in our new station as Sophomores. How much wisdom we had acquired since we had entered old C. F. High's doors just one year before! Most of us felt quite grown up by that time-a good share of the boys wearing long trousers. Some new pupils were added to our class, and some had left us. Perhaps the most memorable event for our class that year was our winning of the inter-class thrift contest, which was started at that time. This honor made us feel very important, because, first it made us very proud to win over our upper-classmen, and too, it showed that we were a thrifty bunch and they say that thrifty persons always succeed, so it naturally followed that the Sophomore class was to be a grand success. As juniors we began to feel more dignified. It was during this year that people began to realize our importance. In the first part of the second semester we elected our class officers and sponsers and chose our class colors. As President of our class we chose Marion Jacobsen, Vice-Pres- ident, Helen DuBois, Secretary, Jane Corsaut and Treasurer, Elsie Chris- toffersen. Miss Markle and Miss Smith, both new teachers, were the choice of the class to act as sponsers for us. Our class colors were orchid and nile green, and it was not long after that we had a good chance to show them offg because a little later the junior-Senior class scraps were started. We Juniors showed both brains and brawn during the fights, as any Senior of 123 will for at least, couldj tell you. There were more social events during this year. The first was an all- school party, the first of its kind to be held in the I-H. S. Gym. The whole High School was well represented. During the year, each class put on exercises for chapel. The juniors exercises were recognized as being the best of any of the four classes. In the spring when the weather was very nice, the Seniors entertained us at a picnic, at which all of us had a very enjoyable time. The junior class was well represented in football, track, and the mid-winter play. Time passes quickly, though, and before we knew it school was out for three months' vacation. The vacation went quickly, too, and almost before we knew it we were back to school again-as SENIORS! 'How big that sounded! How dignified and sophisticated we felt! The most re- markable change that had taken place during the summer was the way we grew up. Most of the girls came back to school with their skirts about a foot longer than they had ever worn them. It did look queer, but TWENTY-SEVEN
