'r a n n AV 1 N o 1 s Freshman Class History On the fourth day of the ninth month, of the year Nineteen Hundred Twenty-three, the following note- worthy and prospective citizens of our great U. S. A. en- rolled as students in the freshman class of the Davis High School, namely, Floy Hofmeister, Grace Degunther, Ruth Tielkemeier, Margaret Meinert, Luella Nott, Loyal An- drews, Arthur Meyers, Arnold Meyers and Myron Tielke- meier. Three days after this memorable date of enroll- ment, Marie Gunderson joined this body of future greats, thus increasing the number of master minds from nine to ten. But, alas! for the two brethern: Arthur Meyers and Arnold Meyers. Circumstances treated them cruelly and they were forced to break from the companionship of their beloved ones and face the diiiiculties and perplexities of the great world unaided by the friendly help of willing friends. Soon after the date of enrollment these students de- cided that in order to accomplish the most in their quest for knowledge, they needed a leader who could give wise and kindly advice to his knowledge-thirsty followers. To attain this they elected Myron Tielkemeier to fill the very important ofhce of president, and with their usual fore- sight they elected Ruth Tielkemeier to be in readiness to take his place should he weaken under the great strain and responsibilities of his position. Then in order that an accurate account of the vast sums of money earned and The Future of the Floy Hofmeister takes a trip around the world and meets: Grace Degunther, as head operator in a telephone oflice in New York. Ruth Tielkemeier, in China, doing missionary work. Margaret Meinert, working in a beauty parlor in Paris. Luella Nott, teaching chemistry in a University in California. spent by the class might be kept, Floy Hofmeister was chosen treasurer. Because of her ability to undertake and carry through so much work which might dull the minds and weaken the physical condition of her less capa- ble companions, it was decided that she should also act as secretary. For their colors the class chose peacock blue and silver. The motto selected was Not finished but the end of volume I. Being thus equipped with motto, colors and worthy officers they were ready to begin in earnest the fight against ignorance. Floy Hofmeister and Myron Tielkemeier have entered the annual essay contest, but the rest of the class refrained from volunteering, not be- cause of laziness or inability, but because they were too modest to enjoy the honor and distinction which the win- ner of the contest would likely receive. Again, two of the students who were more ambitious than their companions fought against great diiiicultiesg met their perplexin problems with such braveness and boldness: reason' with such deep thought and concentration, as would ha e done honor 'to any scientist who has ever lived, until finally their names were written on the honor roll. After all this deep thought, why shouldn't this class prosper? Farsighted people already are beginning to, list the high positions that seem to be within the range of the members of the class of 1926. M. T.
