3 HISTORY OF THE CLASS, OF I920 :6 1916-1917 The BeginningeAlice Tooley and Lorraine Seal, having been duly appointed the historians of the worthy class of one thousand nine hundred and twenty, do, on this thirtieth. day of March, in the aforementioned year of our Lord, set forth the following facts, transcribed from the annals of our class, hoping thereby to p1 rove to the public the worthiness of the aforementioned illustrious class. Discovery-Chamcte1 of the People.-We were discoveredhon the north side of the assembly hall on the morning of September 4, 1916. There we sat, a large ungainly class'of sixty-five, not being'conseious of the appearance we made. Open- mouthed, we innocently awaited anything which might fall to our lot, the boys attempting to appear at ease in their fust long trousers. ' We did very little to distinguish ourselves that f11'st year, except along athletic and musical lines. Election. mA few weeks following the opening of school we held a class meeting. We elected Donald Persinger president; Wilma Desch, who looked like an honest person, we chose to take care of our funds; ,1 Dorothy B e,11ton who had already shown some literal y ability, .Was chosen secretary. Soc1al Conditions. eOne of our iii st social events was the Hallowe e11 Mask at the rink. Everyone present declaredthis to be one of the most. enjoyable features of the year. ' H I The next party worthy of note, though of a rather sad ending, due to the sudden disappearance of the eatsfi was held at the gym. The refreshments consisted of a few straggling pickles and marshmallows. One of our best parties was that given 011 St. Patrickts night at the gym, under the supervision of Miss Starrett, our sponsor. This, without question, proved to be the most pleasant party of our Freshman year. The climax to our social activities, as Freshmen, was the war-time hike to the river. The unfavorable weather did not hinder us from hav- ing 0111 usual good time. ' V 1 ' 1917-1918 1 The next year, having risen to the dizzy heights of Sophomores, we took our place as the ones to; be abhorred. ' i Election.-Soon after school opened our second year class election was held. Andrew Wilson Was elected president, Ethel Nordstrom vice p1 esident, and Alfred Scudder seeietary and t1easure1. tWhen Alfred de- cided to leave us the vacancy was well filled by Francis Heaton ' 19
