 OUR 1921 ANNUAL The History of the Class of 1921 HOUR years of learning, friendship and happiness has ended, and the Class of 1921 has been graduated from Chester High School. Just as though it were last week, we recall the ninth day of September. 1917, when about 240 ‘“green” Freshmen entered Chester High. Very soon after our entrance we learned what it meant to “‘push the penny” and “pray for rain.” However, we all fell in line with our leaders, and we were given an informal recep- tion by the Seniors in our school auditorium. Following the custom in C. H. S., the Freshman Class presented the Flag Day program, and before long our Freshman year came to a close. Space will not permit telling of every member (if our class, and what each one has accomplished during his four years in school. However, the officers for all four years were: Freshman year — Spencer Keare, president; Amelia Uflf, vice-president; Abraham Eisner, secretary; Lloyd Goman, treasurer. Sophomore year — Robert Mills, president; Esther Long, vice-president; Clarence Ayres, secretary; Thompson Palmer, treasurer. Junior year — Hubert Henley, president; Clara Bowen, vice-president; Margaret Burn, secretary; Frank Francis, treasurer. Senior year—Spencer Keare, president; Lil- lian Craig, vice-president; Margaret Haddock, secretary; Barton Sheldrake, treasurer. At the first meeting in our Senior year Charles Kessler was elected president of the class, but in the latter part of February, 1921, he was very unexpectedly called to California, and Spencer Keare was elected to succeed him. A farewell party was given to him by the Senior class, in the Young Women’s Christian Asso- ciation one Saturday night in the latter part of February, and Kessler left early the follow- ing morning for his future home in “the wild and woolly west.” During our Junior year plans were made to complete the work on the Athletic Field which the School Board purchased for the Chester schools. This field was named in honor of a man whom very few of the members of the Class of ’21 knew, but because his name is so indelibly stamped upon Chester High, we can realize what a character the late Joseph G. E. Smedley was. 16
