From those remaining- we chose our officers: Iva Robb, president; Ella Bradford, vice president; Ethel Godfrey, secretary; Earl Hall, treasurer, and Kenneth Quail, representative to the Board of Control. Our stern and mighty commander-in-chief ruled over the class in a very agreeable democratic manner (?). The chief social event of the year was the customary Junior-Senior banquet held in the high school building. Here we attempted the rash thing of feeding Seniors. Our services were also enjoyed in decorating for com- mencement exercises and waiting table at the alumni banquet. It is the Junior who realizes that he “knows but knows not that he knows” and wakes up to the fact that he is in high school for more than pleasure. ❖ In the last lap of our high school life the “round up” was twenty-four. The officers elected from these were Kenneth Quail, president; Ethel Godfrey, vice president; Elizabth Grey, secretary, and Prof. E. L. Raven, class adviser and treasurer. Stern class government is necessary for dignified Seniors, which possibly accounts for the choice of officers. The many business details of the Senior year have made our social functions of secondary importance. Our good times were numbered, but do you remember that party at the home of Iva Robb on November 10th, and the one at Mr. Raven’s on June 8th, to say nothing of the way the Juniors, with the aid of a flag-pole, entertained us so unceremoniously now and then. Financial embarassment was saved the class by the tremendous success of our play, “A College Town.” Our graduating exercises were divided into three parts: The bacca- laureate address by Rev. H. A. Simpson, June the seventeenth; class day exer- cises June the nineteenth, and the commencement address by Dr. Samuel Dickie, of Albion College, June the twenty-second. ♦ jjc sjc sf: sf: The class of 1917, the largest that ever graduated from Croswell High School, has always possessed more than the average in class spirit and har- mony. We have excelled in school athletics. Only two Senior boys have failed to get a “C” while several have earned them from all divisions of the high school athletics. A Senior quintette formed Croswell High School’s basketball team for 1917, and |(?) (.)|!(busted pencil). IVAN GRAHAM.
