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

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

T H E K N I G H T A SOPHOMORE CLASS Most everyone in our class returned to Collingswood High School this year. We are very glad to say we are Sophomores. Of course, we all for most of usb enjoyed being Freshmen-but still-being an upper classman has its charms as well. Instead of being scared little rookies, not knowing what to do or where to go we are very wise. We know room 39 from 29 and when the periods are up and where the lunch room is. Oh, yes-we were rookies last year. There is one very nice thing the Sophomores have to look forward to. What is it? Why, a class meeting! Though it may sound bad, sad but true the Sophs have not yet had a class meeting. p LAURA MILLER, '25 ' FRESHMAN CLASS The Class of 1926 is one of the largest classes that has ever entered the High School having a membership of two hundred and fifty, includ- ing the February Class. At the present writing we have not organized: but hope we will be able to have a class meeting soon and elect oiuv officers. We have expressed our enthusiasm in High School toward sports by having some of our boys try for the football team and some of our girls try for the hockey team. We congratulate them on their spirit and hope they will make the teams. The Freshmen girls wish to extend to the Girls' Athletic Association their thanks and appreciation for the reception given to them. We hope that our girls will be interested enough in sports to have one hundred per cent membership in the Athletic Association. . I ALTHEA CHARLES, '26 l On the following pages are the inspiring countenances of thoseto whom this number is dedicated. They may be small in size but this is certainly overbalanced by their great numbers., Let us hope they'll take advantage of their numbers and help make old C. H. S. better than ever. 23
