CLASS OF ’19 This school year finds the class of nineteen at the height of its scholastic activities. The class is composed almost entirely of painstaking and efficient pupils. Frivolity has been dispensed with. Even the parties have been in accordance with Mr. Hoover. Many of last year’s Sophomores are Seniors this year and this has greatly diminished the size of our class. At the beginning of this year there were fourteen, but two have dropped out. Victor Pettengill joined the aviation corps, making the second member to enter the service, Earl Isensee having gone last year. Irene Kime has been forced to give up her school work on account of sickness. The versatility of the class has been displayed to advantage by the exceptional amount of interest taken in all student body activities. This class has done much to promote and foster athletics. The captains of both the track and basketball have been elected from our class. The Junior basketball girls are acknowledged to be the best in the High School. The class has also done its part in Dramatics this year. The precedent of giving a Junior play was established by the class of 1919 and it is a custom the future classes would do well to emulate. Our play given “Just for Fun” developed a number of star actors. Elmer’s drawl appeared so natural we know he will have no trouble in feeling at home among his English brethren. Genevieve, who played as Mrs. Fitzgerald Mandeville de Smythe, had all the characteristic airs of a would-be society leader. Alice Curry and Elizabeth Church represented the two chums, Edith Morton and Mabel West, the first a rich heiress, the other, a country girl who loved society and wanted to marry a lord, Carol Rahskopf was a characteristic maid with her Irish brogue and awkward ways. The prize for the best stunt at the annual Hallowe’en party was won by the Juniors. Each one took part in repre-

senting a circus. There were Mutt and Jeff, the gypsy fortune-teller, Charlie Chaplin, the black grizzly and his Russian trainer, the tight rope walker, the clowns, the merry widow, and many others. The prize was enjoyed by the class and faculty a few days later. A splendid five-course banquet was given the Seniors on April sixth, the Juniors giving a number of toasts. The cane was presented to the class at this time and they will keep it for the coming year. The interest manifested by the class in the four-minute speeches shows their patriotism. They have also sent presents and candy to members of the class in service. If we keep on as serious as now there is no doubt but that we will be a class so famed for wisdom that we will be long remembered. Looking on our Freshman pictures we see there is almost a superhuman look on our countenances. To appreciate the merits of the class as a whole we must tell the virtues of the individuals. Genevieve Chase’s ability seems to be in leadership. Elizabeth Church will be studied in later years by the Juniors of the High School along with the great writers, Shakespeare, Milton and Walt Whitman. A specimen of her poetry is on another page of the Laurel. The linguistic ability of the class lies in Carol Rahskopf. Thelma Richardson has a talent for keeping in good standing. Keeping quiet and looking wise is the estate of our demure Eula Moore. The best humored one in the class is Lester Bogard, while the most dignified person is Margaret Cunningham. Alice Curry will long be remembered for her amiable disposition for making friends. In the future art galleries you will be able to pick out the monogram of our artist, Lillian Humbert. Mildred Neely has a stately, studious and stern manner, while Alice Schroeder catches everything that goes around. Edna Olson’s tendency is toward a Pompean tinted complexion and Katie Price’s is trying to be popular. Our Rosa Fredenburg is just a little lower than the angels, while Philip Johnson’s chief occupation is driving a bug!
