20 THE ECHO FHJ dl GI V JPJ53, SENIORS VVhen school started we were ushered into a room all by our- selves, and in that room we now hold full sway. We were told that as soon as we held a class election we could have free, whereupon Joe Mungovan, president of the class in our freshman year, ascended the platform and told us as only Joe can, whom to vote for and why. A majority succumbed to his un- resisting arguments, but nothing less than a unanimous vote would satisfy him, so a unanimous vote it was, and Don McDonald was made our president, Sub Miller, sec- retary, and George DeWald, treas- urer. After a week or so we decided that we ought to have rings and pins. lVe believed in patronizing home dealers, so we placed our order with a local jeweler, and we are very well satisfied with the results. Space will not permit a full record of our activities, but suffice it to say that we are backing all school doings. We are sponsoring the newly-formed Activity Asso- ciation, bearing the brunt of the Echo work, contributing more than half the members of the school football and basketball teams, while the Glee Club is composed entirely of members from our class. A thing we feel proud of is the fact that we are the largest Senior Class in the history of the school. That we are not satisfied merely with quantity may be gathered from this harangue of Haley: By all the laws and institutions we should now be stately seniors, as solemn and serene as the proverbial owl. To the contrary, however, we are the same bunch of happy-go- luckies that we were as freshmen. The mantle of our responsibility has neither deadened our spirits nor discouraged our endeavors. Nei- ther has it fallen on heedless shoulders, for back of all our seemingly heedless fun there is a different spirit from that devil- may-care one that pervaded us in past years. We realize our re- sponsibilities,and to the best of our ability are endeavoring to do them just-ice.

22 THE ,IUNIORS As usual school started the day after Labor Day. We spent the morning cheating the sophomores on second-hand books and getting cheated by the seniors. Most of our former sophomore celebrities are back with us but we miss J auch, Deininger, Gerard, and Belot. Fitzgerald and Schif- fli are the only newcomers. A few days after school opened we organized for elections, and Clifford after a successful cam- paign became president and Kin- stle, secretary-treasurer. A short time ago Clifford resigned the presidential chair and since then the president's duties have fallen on Kinstle who is now overburd- ened with the three ofhces. At the first class meeting called we de- cided to get monograms in the shape of octagons just to remind us that we took geometry last year. We have been dispossessed of the room that we have occupied the last two years. It has been given to the seniors and we have been put in the former Senior Room. The old Sophomore Daily Squeek was reorganized and pub- lished under the new name of the Junior'S Jazzy J ournal' 'which was later replaced by the Junior VVorld . Some look down on us because we are the smallest class in the school, but we believe in quality, not quantity. SOPHOMORES Biff! Bang! Crash! Hurrah for the Sophomore Class! Twenty-nine of us returned in September, but we got several new ECHO . , additions making our total thirty- five. As for the new members, Mutt Rhinehart blew into C. C. H. S. with the September storm and bumped his head on the electric lights the first thing. Jeff Ryan hails from Lagro and is the midget of the class. Eugene Luley came from St. Mary's to yell for Cox butwesoonconvertedhim. Schiffli, commonly known as Goggles, .comes to us from Cleveland and gives silent speeches for Debs. MacCarthy and Clifford, seeing the pepperino!' of the class of '23, decided to stall a year to be with us. - A few days after school started we held class elections. There was not much campaigning, so at the primaries every member voted for himself for president. As a result when a count was taken thirty-five had tied for the office. The next best thing to do was to hold a con- vention, the outcome of which was that we had three candidates for each office. Buckshot Donahue, president of last year's class, was re-elected by a Harding majority. Cy Fitzgerald was elected secre- tary, and Windy McKiernan is our Croesus. Besides our basketball activities which will be recorded later, we organized a football team and after several hard try-outs we played the pick of the Freshmen Class. As they had Graf and Bushman -both semiprofessionals-we did not want to discourage the freshies and still we did not want to be wal- loped ourselves, we let the game go at a tie score of 13 to 13 in favor of both. Our class has five repre- sentatives on the school football team. Clifford the full-back, Cent-
