Page 24 V CENTRAL CITY HIGH SCHOOL The first class meeting was called for the purpose of election of officers. . Helen Kerr was elected president and Miss Iva Marvel sponsor. We were beginning now to feel as if we were a part of our beloved High School, and really needed. We were very much enthused and interested in Athletics. One of our highly respected Sophomores, Quentin Gould, was elected secretary of the High School Athletic Association, and a number of members from our class went out for both Football and Basketball. A few of them made their letters. . - It seems that we rather neglected the social side of our existence this year. We had only one party, a masquerade at Hord hall, and our annual picnic at the close of school. ' In the year of 1923, we came back to school fully confident that it could not get along without us. We elected Harold Garvin president and Miss Marie Tewksbury sponsor. ' ' Our first feat of importance was carrying off the presidency and sec- retaryship of the Athletic Association, Quen Gould representing us as presi- dent, and Harry Smith as secretary. ' In the contest for sale of Football teason tickets, the Juniors won, and were rewarded by a picnic at the South park. The Faculty proved to be a pretty good bunch of hosts and hostesses. , We proved our ability as entertainers when we presented Stop Thief . It was a well liked play, and all the cast deserved a good deal of credit. We gave our banquet at Liberty hall, in the form of a carnival. We Worked diligently to make it a success, and our efforts were rewarded by the good time enjoyed by all. . As to Athletics, the Class of '24 was well represented both in Football and Basketball. The successes of the former were partially due to the good leadership of our able captain, Quentin Gould. . As we entered High School for the fourth year, we fully realized- the position we had to fill. We elected Harold Garvin as president and Miss Hattie t Stegeman as sponsor. - About the second week of school everyone became interested in the election of the officers for Athletic Association. Both the Juniors and Seniors were determined to have the presidency. We succeeded in gaining all' the offices except the vice presidency, which was captured by our sister class, the Sophomores. A The Seniors were too busy to think mixch about social activities, but man- aged to find time to entertain the faculty and the well deserving Football men at a banquet. We contributed a good deal to Athletics this year. A member of our class McHargue, was captain of both Football and Basketball teams. At the time of this writing, the annual is well under way and promises to be a big success. I I

Class Prophecy 68? April 26, I943.eThis morning as I was taking my usual walk, I wan- dered subconsciously into an isolated part of the city. I was suddenly stirred from my reverie, by the rattle of a rickety old milk wagon, coming down the street, drawn by a bony, seemingly half fed horse. I recognized Quen. G. in the drivers seat, whistling merrily. As he came nearer he recognized me, and invited me to ride. I climbed into the shaky old wagon, and we started on. Immediately our conversation turned to his home life, and his present condition. He said he had hired dairy maids to do his milking, much against his wife,s wishes, and how she was sueing him for divorce. He seemed not to mind, and I was not surprised when he informed me that the diary maids were Ruby R., Clatilla F., and Mildred J. What seemed to distress him most were the. six little ones. He told me with tears in his eyes of the poor little innocents, and I could not help'but weep with him. Time had flowri, and we were now at my gate so we were obliged to end our most interesting discussion. I bade him goodbye, and he started again, on his way. May LaThis morning I dropped in at the library. Estellene Wilson, though fast turning gray, is still faithful to her position as librarian. She had just re- ceived a letter from Marjorie 5., who is now president of the Womarfs Charity Association. She is planning on making a tour to England, to inspect and re. port to the Uplift club, theymoral condition in the tooth pick factories. She is very muchengrossed in her work.
