THE KNIGHT JUNIOR CLASS The class wishes to extend its sympathy to Miss Hatmaker, who has been absent from school for several weeks due to serious illness. The commercial section sent flowers to Miss Hatmaker which were very much appreciated. Last year's sophomores fminus a fewl came back this year as proud Juniors. The football season opened with its usual zeal and many of the Juniors tried for the team. Those who made the 'Varsity are: Robert Wilkins, Captain: Harryx Nichols, Thomas Cornbrooks and James Knecht. The hockey season has also opened and many Junior girls are out for the team. We hope they make a good showing. The class held nominations and elections of president in its re- spective assembly rooms, Thomas Cornbrooks received the majority of votes. We hope he will have the co-operation of the entire class throughout the year. THE POOR '24'S This is a sad, sad tale of woe. He has an exceedingly cold heart who will not shed a tear over the dreadful fate of the '24's. How well they started out as Freshmen, full of pep and vigor. Who would have th-ought they were to come to such a disastrous end within two years. But the saddest part is that the class is offered no pity and has no one to look after and watch over it. There is no one to help it out of the mournful state into which it has fallen. 4 Won't someone, please, have compassion for its remnants and make it the same class that it started out to be? . Where is the class spirit? Reward if found, return to the office. The first football game must have had a good influence on the school. The 111 History Class was hard at work when suddenly a gay melody was heard in the hall. Everyone was surprised when they found out that J. B. R. was the singer. Don't forget that the class spirit must be revived if we expect to get our class rings or go to Washington. Won't everyone please help? And when we set a time for class meetings, come and bring your pep and vigor with you. HELEN WILLIAMS - DOROTHY CAMERON Correspondents 21

THE KNIGHT L Ss 1 K.Tw'z1 U A-J-VV q The Class of '23 hereby extends its heartfelt sympathy to Leslie Carson in the loss he has sustained in the death of his mother. , SENIOR CLASS , Seniors! 116 of us! and one of us to be Senior Class President! What a complicated problem. Fr-om the first day of school until election we were impressed with the importance of electing the right person in our class for president, one who was capable of guiding us through our last year. Because of this the class became involved in a number of discus- sions, arguments, and controversies, the subject of which was the choice of a class president. Hanson Tully, Carl Latcham, William Hendricks and Elwood Kern were the four who were considered candidates for this office. Hanson Tully, who had been our class president in our Sopho- more and Junior years was elected, despite energetic and persuasive elec- tioneering on the part of the Latchamites. We held our first regular class meeting on Thursday, September 29, and after a few remarks concerning -our responsibility as Seniors by Miss Venable, our class advisor, we began the business of electing our other class officers. George McKeag was elected vice-president, Irving Lilly, secretary, and Russel Taylor, treasurer. Our Hrst class'dance fthis yearl was held on Friday, October 6. I doubt if any more need be said about this as ourlclass is noted for its social activities. As our president has reminded us, we don't want to walk to Wash- ington and we don't want to ride in freight cars but we do want to go in style as benefitting dignified Seniors. This requires money and plenty of it. Have you paid your class dues? If you haven't done it, do it now. It isn't what one does which helps: it is what we all dog so let's PLAY UP and PLAY THE GAME.

T H E K N I G H T FEBRUARY CLASS, '24 The February Class of '24 held its first business meeting on Tuesday morning, September 12, 1922, electing two correspondents for The Knight and the following officers for the coming term: President, Edward Strahang vice-president, Marion Purbeckg secretary, Lillian Richf ter, treasurer, William McMakin. At the end of the last sch-ool term the class held a Bazaar to raise money for our Washington trip. That the class worked hard, is shown by the proceeds amounting to ninety-three dollars. We may be small, but the class has set an example for the others. The hockey season having begun, several girls of the February Class have reported for practice. Among the candidates are the following: Dorothy Claypool, Katharine Lapp, Grace Boner, Marion Purbeck and Dorothy Lee. As to football the class has not been well represented, until last week, Watson Heffner, equipped in togs, reported for practice on the gridiron. That he will make good is hoped for by everyone. Mr. W. fin physics classj: What is conjugate foci? Student: I can't conjugate it. Mr. W. fin physics classl: What is a lense? Student: I don't know. Mr. W.: Do you know that Rex Beach isn't a summer resort? DOROTHY LEE, '24 DOUGLAS ROE, '24 I FEBRUARY CLASS, '25 Class parties are the fondest thing we are of, aside from studying. Our first wonderful party was the 1nk's-Well! We were going to dance until Three O'clock in the Morning, but the music st-opped promptly at 12 p. m., and so did we. Our first meeting this year was held September, 1922. At the sug- gestion of a member of the faculty we decided to have a Jazz Bow Social. CJ azz bow or jazz beau'?J One week later every member of the class had a different reason why we should not have a J. B. Social, so the committee decided to abandon this clever plan. We are now, so the committee says, going to have a Masked Dance, instead. Oh, Goody! We used to have two correspondents, but, alas! one has resigned. Not so good. At the next meeting the president will appoint another and we shall also make final arrangements for our first dance. Are we in it? Well, I guess! This class is exceptionally well repre- sented in Athletics, Music and Art this year. Yours until Niagara Falls, A. M. B., Feb. '25. 22
