The Class gave a party at which they dramatised Treasure Island. Everyone present at the party enjoyed it. Owing to the fact that the President, Mr. Brunning left to enter business, Mr. Wellenkamp was made President. The Class regretted losing Mr. Brunning but soon found out they had an efficient and conscientious man for President. The Class later had a “Hot Dog” sale which was successful financially. Their last activity, a Pedome- tric Dance, the name of which caused guessing on the part of the High School students. The dance was successful and afforded amusement to the students on account of the fee, which was according to the num- ber of inches in the length of the foot. The Class had a baseball team which played well for the honor of the Class. Then when the second Track Meet came around, Donald Wellenkamp surprised everyone with all around athletic ability. He scored 25 of the Class’s 31 points. 1 he Freshmen 1-1 class has had several successful social functions during their few months in the High School. On April 22, they held their first affair by giving a Sandwich Sale. On Thursday, May 13, the class gave an afternoon dance which was also a success both finan- cially and socially. Later the class conducted a Rose Bush Sale which netted them a profit of $22. On June 9th another dance was held and was well attended. twenty-four

flowers and a most substantial supper was served. The credit for the latter belongs largely to the mothers who so willingly came to the aid of the class. The trip to Washington, the source of many day and night dreams on the part of the 4-2 Seniors has at last been realized. Accompanied by Mr. Collester and Miss Ruth Smith, through whose advice and un- tiring efforts this trip had been made possible, the senior class left for Washington on the 13th of May. Stopping at Philadelphia the party visited the Mint, Betsy Ross House, Independence and Congress Halls. In the afternoon the party left Philadelphia and proceeded on to the capitol city where they stopped at the Dewey Hotel. Many points of interest including the Capitol building, Washington Monument, and Congressional Library were visited. A sight seeing tour covering many of the remaining points of interest in Washington was also enjoyed. sail up the Potomac to Mt. Vernon and a complete survey of the estate was made. The party also drove through the National Cemetery at Arlington. After a three days’ stay at the capital, the seniors de- parted for home with a fuller and deeper appreciation of the capital of the Nation and with a firm determination to advance, uphold, and cherish American Ideals. The last enterprise held by the Seniors was in the form of an en- tertainment consisting of two plays followed by dancing, held on the May 25 and 26. “How A Woman Keeps A Secret” and “My Turn Next” were the two plays presented. Both plays were very well rend- ered by the members of the class. Several selections were rendered by the High School orchestra and Mr. H. Alyea gave a ’cello selection. Music for the dancing was furnished by the Hilton orchestra. The Sophomore 2-2 Class has held several successful events during the past school year. A dance which was held in the early part of the term, was a record occasion. It was probably the best attended of any of the afternoon dances of the season. An Orange Social, a novelty dance and reception, was also given by the Sophomore 2-2 Class. It consisted of a program followed by games and dancing. The admission was an orange and a cent for every seed in it. Later Orangeade was made from the oranges and served with cake. The Class tried to see that everyone was satisfied and the results indicated that they were. The Class concluded the season by a trip up the Hudson River to West Point on June 12. The first meeting of the Freshmen 1-1 was held Oct. 6, 1919, when they elected Mr. Brunning and Miss Bailey, President and Vice Presi- dent of the class. At a later meeting Mr. Rhinehart was made Histor- ian; Mr. Brown, Treasurer; Miss Sorblum, Secretary. twenty-three
