Class History WHEN in the course of human events, an institution of higher learning desires to impart knowledge to a class of worthy students, Providence provides those stu- dents. ln the fall of 1927, that kindly Deity gave Clarks- ton High School a group of scholars seeking for the true knowledge. We knew there were a few, a very few, things we did not know, and we entered the portals of C. H. S. to add those few items to our already massive store of information. Even genii must face the hard realities of school life: and the Sophomore initiation was decidedly one of those realities. The Class of 1931, however, was soon organized with the election of Dorothy Bailey, president: Marcus Arthur, vice-presidentg and Jeannette Brooks, secretary and treasurer. The Hrst endeavor of the class was a very successful party for the esteemed Sophsf' The following year, we performed our sacred duty as Sophomores. The Fresh- ies were welcome guests. We also enjoyed their return costume party. The re- mainder of the year was very eventful under the leadership of Culton Kruegel, president, Marjorie Anderson, vice-president, and Jeannette Brooks, secretary and treasurer. ln the fall of 1929, the class elected jeannette Brooks, president, Marjorie An- derson, vice-president, Mary Crozier, secretary, and Merle Barkley, treasurer. Early in the year the junior-Senior Feed and the junior Theatre Party proved to be the high lights of the school social calendar. The second semester gave time for the excellent play, The Charm School, and the unique junior-Senior Banquet. Now we are completing the last big year in high school. The election of jean- nette Brooks, president, Marjorie Anderson, vice-president, Mary Crozier, secre- tary, and Stanley Thomas, treasurer, was the beginning of a senior year which will not be completed until Commencement. Between these two events lies much of both the work and the merriment this class has accomplished in high school. While playing an important part in the class room, activities, and athletics, we have found time for the Senior Play, The Full House. Of course the Senior Sneak, Kid Day, and all the rest of a senior's equipage, together with his rings, cards, and announcements, occupied the last few weeks. Thus closes our senior year, undoubtedly the best and most happy of our school life, not only because of our own efforts, but because of the wise guidance and assistance of our advisor, Miss Erickson. -james Abbott.
