SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ’21 The graduating class of ’21 are the following: Almond Martin, Veva Varney, Myrtle Newton, Dorothy Newton, Gertrude Butler, Flossie Radabaugh, Helen Sherwood, Alice Barker, Viola Knife, Wayne Woodward, Rosanna Schroeder, Mary Bennett, Dorothy Bean and Lowell Simpson. At a meeting in the early part of the first semester the following class officers were elected: Almond Martin, president; Gertrude Butler, vice president; Wayne Woodward, secretary; Helen Sherwoxl, treasurer. The Seniors of ’21 first entered High School as verdant Freshmen in 1917-18. Since then, however, many changes have taken place. Many of our old classmates of ’17-’18 have gone away to other schools.

Several students finished the four years’ course in three years and are now attending College. Quite a number of the class will complete the course in three and one half years. Our class has always been an active one. In athletics, girls as well as boys, took part. As Freshmen, even, some of the boys and girls played Basket Ball. The girls had an active team.

We were represented on the Debating team by Alice Barker and Mary Bennett. Coquille won the championship. Several of the Senior girls are in the High School Chorus: Rosanna Schroeder, Myrtle and Dorothy Newton, Helen Sherwood, Mary Bennett and Gertrude Butler.
