CLASS HISTORY N THE FALL of 1916 the present Senior class began a career wh.ich will long be remembered by all those who were in High School at - V that time and by all those who will follow. In social affairs, politics, and in athletics they have never failed to come to the front. Like 2111 Freshmen, when they entered High. School, some be- gan to study hard and to get ahead, while others did very little studying and as a consequence did not have many credits at the end of the year. . Une of the memorable events of that year was the case of Krikac versus the upper classmen. In th.is case it seems that the upper classmen got the worst of it, because since then there has been very little hazing in Chico High School. ' A x,J 4--J .

The upper classmen that year took great Spleasure in throwing the Freshmen into the creek if they did not do as they were told. John Moore and iRudell Bowleron separate occasions, each tested the coolness of the water. . The Freshmen officers for the year 1916-17 were, First semester - Rudell Bowler, president, Wesley Moore, vice-president, Mary VVhitnell, secretary-treas- urer. Second semester-Haydn Davis, pres., Jeanette Blodgett, vice-pres., Harold Donohue, secy-treas. Rudelli Bowler completed his course in three years, VVesley Moore soon became one of the most popular members of the class. He was editor-in-chief of the Red and Gold for the year 1919-20, but has quit school and will probably not graduate with his class. Mary VVhitnell left school in her Sophomore year to study the art of the moving pictures. .Haydn Davis has held numerous Student Body as well as class offices since he came to High School. The class can well be proud of him. .leanette Blodgett has been vice-president of the class twice. once in her Freshman and once in her junior year. Shoes Dono- hue's fame will probably live through many classes yet to enter High School. . As Freshmen, the class gave two dances. one De- cember 3d, and the other March 16. Both dances were declared to be great successes by all who attended. The Freshmen were given a good time at the Fresh- man receptiOH, September 29th. G As Sophomores, th.e class was not behind the others in spirit, and was represented in every phase of school life.
