 1»——— ——— — ------------” - OUR 1922 ANNUAL. History of the Class of 1922 Thirteen boys participated in the various ath- letics for the boys, and six girls played on the basketball team. During our Junior year a class dance was held in Library Hall, and it was a wonderful success. Another social event and one which all Ju- niors look forward to is the Junior Recital. This also was a great success and enjoyed by all who attended. Thus ended our third year. In September, 1921, we, the Class of ’22, finally entered C. II. S. as dignified Seniors. Wt came back with a determination to make our last year the best of all. This we have most successfully done. The officers elected for our class were: Dun- can Hatton, president; Edna Rothfuss, vice- president; Margaret Tweltridge, secretary; Paul Feeser, treasurer. The first social event of the year was a dance held December 16, in Library Hall. This was a great success and enjoyed by a large number of students, alumni and friends. Our next event was the reception given to the February '22 Class. This was held after their class night in the lunch room. The evening con- sisted of games and last, but not least, “cats.” As usual our class was well represented in athletics, four of our boys secured places on the football team, four on the basketball team, and three on the baseball team. The girls basketball team was composed of all Senior girls, except one. .Several other social events took place. One of these was the reception which the Seniors gave to the Freshmen. Another interesting event was the Doll Show given by the Senior girls’ Social Service for the purpose of making money for the Social Service Society. We are anticipating several other social af- fairs to be held in the future. We arc hoping for another dance to be held as a closing event of the year. We have spent four years of hard study and work, but, on the whole, of good fun. All this is to be capped by a Class Day and a gradua- tion which we will not forget. All we have now to remind us of our school associations is the Annual. When we pick this 4------------- —■-------------------------+ 18

+--——--------------------------- OUR 1922 ANNUAL. History of the Class of 1922 HOUR YEARS of opportunity, happiness, and friendship have now come to an end, and we leave our Alma Mater as students for greater opportunities that await us. The Class of 1922 leaves Chester High School as a class, but to her our memories will often return. One morning in September, 1918, the Class of 1922 first entered Chester High as green, un- sophisticated Frcshics. Ever since that morning we have aimed to have our class enrolled on the pages of school history. We now know our aim has been realized. The History of our class began with the elec- tion of officers for our Freshman year. The of- ficers we chose to guide us were as follows: Leon Brick, president; Paul Fcescr, vice-president; Elizabeth Hunter, secretary; Joseph McAldon, treasurer. From the very first the Class of 1922 entered school activities with “vim” and “pep.” In ath- letics we held a high record, having one of our boys in football and two of our girls placed on the basketball team. Thus endeth the first act! +------------——— ------------------------------ In September, 1919, the Class of ’22 entered C. H. S. as Sophomores with the same old “pep. Our class was immediately reorganized, result- ing in the election of Joseph McAldon, president; Florence Derbyshire, vice-president: Alice Lock- man, secretary; Frank Christy, treasurer. As in the previous year, we were well repre- sented in athletics, having eight boys on the various teams and four girls on the basketball team. In September. 1920, we entered Chester High, not as Freshmen or Sophomores, but as BIG Juniors. That year was the most illustrious of all. Our officers elected to represent the class were as follows: Frank Christy, president; Edna Rothfuss, vice-president; Magdeline Uff, secre- tary; Orlando Cloud, treasurer. During that year we had a class party, held in the cafeteria of the school. The room was decorated in our class green and white. Every- one present spent a very enjoyable evening. As in the previous years, our class had that same old “pep” and enthusiasm in athletics. ---------------------——-------------------------+ 17

OUR 1922 ANNUAL. History of the Class of 1922 book up some fifty years from now and recall our school chums, school associations, school life, and school achievements, we shall think this the best memories of the best times we ever had in our youth. Now, as we leave all this behind us, may we enter into the world with bigger aims, bigger thoughts, and with the ambition to become big- ger men and women. The world waits for us; may we be big enough to enter in and do our work with even more determination than ever before. ‘‘Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait. Elizabeth R. Hunter, ’22.
