CLASS H1STOR1J H THE ('hiss of 1!)24 entered High School as Freshmen in 15)21. There were fifteen members enrolled, six boys and nine girls. After becoming acquainted with the customs of the High School we settled down to hard work. The Freshmen year passed rapidly and vacation time was here. On returning next fall several of our members had dropped out and there were only eight members remaining to face another year of study. As the Junior year was drawing to a close, another one of our class left us. On returning as Seniors in the fall of 1923, there were only seven members enrolled. We were confronted with an Oratorical Contest, the preparation of an annual and lastly the final examinations. We were all happy when these were over and we are now ready to take an active part in the work of the world. Charles Rogers, ’24.

GRACE ELIZABETH LANE General Grace entered High School a bashful and quiet girl, but we have changed our opinion of her. She is one of the most care-free and lovable girls of the class, and has a great capacity for knowledge (also for dancing). Her greatest hobby is walking, and it is a well-known fact that she can do it. One of her greatest ambitions is to teach domestic science, and since it is her favorite study, we know she will make good in her chosen profession. .JAMES WALTER PETERS Academic Jimmie entered our class in the Freshman year and was ready to take office ns President of our class, which he held till the end of his Senior year. As a Freshman, “Jimmie” was very bashful, but found out it did not pay and so joined in with the rest. From his Freshman year he adopted his name “Jimmie.” We have never seen Jimmie accompany the gentler sex until the Senior year. HILDA ARTINGER Miss Hilda Artinger, one of the quiet members of the class, is very studious. She found the highest seat in the typewriting class and has been overjoyed with the fact. Hilda has taken the Commercial course, but the lure of the hospital is so strong in her that we hope to see her in a few years as the assistant of Dr.---! Her greatest joy, however, is horse back riding. Miss Artinger was one of the speakers of the Oratorical Contest and is at present Literary Editor of the Coit.ayitk and treasurer of the class.
