Declamatory I, A Full House.” CLASS HISTORY On September 3, 1923. we entered High School, a bright and intelligent looking class numbering thirty-three. Although the upper classes looked down on us. they recognized our abilities. Miss Fahey was appointed our adviser, and officers were elected to take charge of our class organization. Crimson and White were chosen as our class colors. Although they nearly discouraged us with algebra, we mastered it. Our class was quite prominent in activities, having two members on the girls basketball team and three on the baseball team. We also won first prize on a booth and took part in the declamatory contest. Nine of the original number dropped out before the term was up, leaving twenty-four in the class. They were Loren Glenn. Helen Hovda. Gladys Johnson, Orpha Johnson. Kathleen Newville. Louise Pittman. Cora Smith. Helen Smith, and Minnie Stumo. Thus ended our first year of high school. In the fall of '24 we came back full of pep and prepared to grapple with geometry. It was a hard battle but with the help of our teachers we finally won. We were delighted to greet two new members during this term, namely. Nora and Harriet Johnson. Miss Miller acted as our class adviser and our Sophomore year was spent in a very successful manner under her direction. Once again we proved ourselves very active in athletics. We were progressing in our climb to fame. Three months of vacation, restful and otherwise, found us possessors of the proud title of Juniors. We are certain that we made ourselves indispensable to the school during this important year. At any rate we took a leading part in all the school activities. The newly organized orchestra was composed of more Juniors than of any other class. Our boys helped to make the basketball team a success, while the girls very capably took the places of those of the girls’ team who had graduated the preceding spring. We received high honors in the oratorical contest. The biggest event of the year, of course, was the Junior and Senior Prom. Of the twenty-six who began the year, three were lost to us: Dorothy Ward. Grace Buckner, and Vernon Burrill. In their stead three new members were gained: Helen Hager. Jerome Fink and Grayce Christianson.
