During the great world war, before completing his high school education John heard and answered the call to serve his country.

OUR MOTTO: THE XVUBST IS YET TO KUMU We Started Something Wgatever the finish or the e11d may 3, We started something-we founded J. C. In September, 1922, the Class of '24, mostly Seniors from High School with that thirst for knowledge still un- quenched, prepared to take advan- tage of the splendid opportunities of- fered in the A. C. .I. C. Here was a chance for a college education with all the comforts of home, advantage of Dad's hospitality and Mother's cooking- and we took it. It was all new-not only to us, but as an experimental project in the local educational tield. Mr. Heffel- finger, former Superintendent of the schools, was elected Dean, and to his etiorts and interest in the students and their work, much credit is due for the establishment of a successful J. C. Mr. Hetfelfinger resigned during the second semester and Mr. Gilliland was acting Dean until the close of the year. The other members of the Faculty were: Miss CARI: - Spanish Miss BICCANLESS-Lif. and Ret. 6011, you Century Hand Book, and 1,000 word themesll MR. 1aw1N-Chemistry. He was a tower of endurance, for his patience withstood the acid test every day. Donald G. was chosen President, and we'll say Don sails good ships of state. CARRIE KAHLEI: ...... Vice President Jos AIARSHALL ..,,,,.,,,,,,,,, See, and Tregg, Getting organized was a difficult task. Most of us didn't know what we wanted to take and some of the sub- jects we selected, didn't take. As to majoring and minoring-the near- est conception some had of those was that a major was some one who walked at the head of the band and a minor was some one too young to vote. Red Vogel still thinks you have to serve a couple of years in the army before you can major. The second year the college was very fortunate in securing Mr. Broth- ers, of Leland Stanford, who was formerly of this vicinity. XVc hope Dean Brothers has found his work here as great a pleasure as the plea- sure we have experienced in working under his supervision. Reed Fretz was chosen President, Eve Lester, Vice President, and Carrie Kahler Secretary and Treasurer. A Student Council was organized with Donald G., President of the Stu- dents Body, Hep St. John and Sted- man Chaplin as representatives of the Sophomore Class, and Mildred Pm- ion and Earl Sills as representatives of the Freshman Class.
