History of the Class of 1920 It has taken us four years to learn that the advice given us in the 1917 “Senior” in regard to appointing a class historian was absolutely sound. What we do not know or want to forget about our history would fill a volume, but what we know and want to tell will not take long to read. We remember vaguely that we must have entered school in September, 1916, with about sixty members. The first day we simply wandered around with now and then some teacher makjng an attempt to help us. However, we got along as well as the average Freshmen do. Fortune favored us for Mr. Galbraith became our chaperon and his assistance in our class activities, escepially the programs, was invaluable. At the end of the first semester Mr. Powers announced that to our class came the honor of having the highest average, which distinction we appreciated so much that we were successful in holding it throughout our high school career except for one half term. Our members have been prominent in all the sports, and we have had representa- tives on both the boys’ and girls’ teams. Our social activities were the functions of the year, as many who were not Freshmen attempted to join with us in our merry-making. Success was ours against the Sophomores but difficulties were encountered with the Jun- iors and Seniors. At one time we were compelled to sneak home from a marshmallow roast under the protecting wing of Mr. Galbraith, and only the strong fortification provided by having a party in the schoolhouse succeeded in keeping the burglars at bay and protecting our eats. When we dispersed they tried to capture one of our members but the trail ended at a barn some distance from the schoolhouse and, aside from a scare, no particular damage was done. Our Sophomore yer found us with only forty-two members, Mr. Galbraith as chaperon and our scholarly reputation. The social side was rather neglect- ed as we had only one or two parties at the schoolhouse and instead of a sleigh ride we enjoyed the worst storm of the season. This year eleven of our members dropped out but we still held our place in athletics. I he most in- teresting event of the year was the flag rush held back of the school building, the Sophomores and Seniors winning from the Juniors and Freshmen. Haz- ing was done away with and the year finished in peace. We started our Junior year with just thirty members although three new ones had entered our midst. Miss Wixon was appointed our chaperon. This year two of our more ambitious classmates joined the Senior class, thus grad- uating one year in advance. Cupid captured two of our members while others had narrow escapes. Social events were more numerous than heretofore. The Juniors entertained the Seniors and they complimented us by giving us one in return. The year closed with the customary Junior-Senior banquet, which was a great success. With the coming of our Senior year all hopes of having the largest grad- uating class from C. H. S. were shattered as our members dwindled to twenty-eight, which was the number of the previous class although there never was a larger one. Mr. Snelenberger was appointed our class chaperon and social activities started with a rush. The first week we had two parties and others have come at regular intervals. For the first time none of our members have dropped out and, although the work has been broken up to some extent, we have progressed very well. Our greatest undertakings were our year book and the play, both of which we hope you will enjoy. Our class meetings were nearly as distinguished as our parties; their chief character- istics being lack of parliamentary rules, determination of Bud to leave before dismissal, and the hum coming from Vida’s and Nellie’s direction which drowned Elmer’s voice. The history of this year is necessarily incomplete but our hope is that the rest of our lives will be as happy and as successful as the four years spent in Croswell High School.
