At tirst we were very green to the high school ways hut by watching and imitating our “elders” we have managed to learn the ways of high school. We had a class meeting and elected the following officers: Mildred Corvell President; Seneca T raver, Vice-President; Doreen Douglas, Secretary; Ila Finzel, Treasurer; for class Sponsor we chose Miss Jessie Howes. In March, Doreen Douglas left us to enter school in Detroit. Now Marian Stephens will take her place as Secretary. On February 13th we held a Valentine party at the home of Mildred Coryell. We went coasting after which lunch was served. When we reach our last years in high school we hope that other Junior classes will take the pleasure of imitating us. Although our class is small we will strive to make it the best. s If)

Fifth and Sixth Grades It was one of those fine autumnal clays, August 31, that the school bell again warned us it was time to resume our school work for another year. We wended our way to the fifth and sixth grade room little thinking of the trials and joys that the year would have in store for us. When roll was taken we numbered forty-one in all. Twenty-three in the sixth grade and eighteen in the fifth. Soon our classes were organized and the following officers were elected— Sixth grade: President, Marion Dunston; Vice-President. Hazel Francis; Secretary, Ferris Holcomb; Treasurer, Bruce Coryell. Fifth grade President, Cecilia Seetcrlin; Vice-President, Lucy Molter; Secretary, Herbert Beach; Treasurer, Drexel Beucler. On the evening of December 23, we gave our Christmas program before a large audience. Santa Claus, Brownies, and the display of mechanical toys were the big attractions of the program. Other social events of the year were the skating party on Park Lake and our Valentine parties. During the year seven have departed from our number and four have joined us. 20
