 ptttor Class history In the month of September, 1918, we, the Seniors of 1922, began our journey through the paths that lead to an High School education. In this illustrious class were Marvel Adams, Thomas Bond, Edward Gardner, Gladyce Holdiman, Claire Lamb, Bernice Nesfield, Irene Penne, and Charles Penne, who had finished the Eighth Grade together. At the beginning of our Freshman year we were joined by Clarence Leibert. Mrs. Pearl Cruise guided us safely through most of the intricacies of the Freshman year of High School. September, 1919, found us back in school as Sophomores, reinforced by Floyd and Oscar Guyer, with Mr. Methfessel as principal. At the beginning of the second semester Mr. Methfessel resigned and was succeeded by Mr. Miller. In September, 1920, we entered school as Juniors and with the exception of Clarence Leibert, Edward Gardner and Floyd Guyer, all came back again. As our school had increased, we now had three teachers— Mr. and Mrs. Cottingham and Miss Vivian Stone. Later Mrs. Cottingham resigned and Miss Gladys Jensen was added to the Faculty. By September, 1921, the final sifting showed the number of Seniors as six. They were, Thomas Bond, Marvel Adams. Oscar Guyer, Bernice Nesfield, Gladyce Holdiman and Claire Lamb. I he school continued to grow and we found Superintendent Cottingham with the following helpers: Miss Smith, Miss Wilson, Mr. Jefferson and Miss Aubrey. We, the “pioneer” class, Seniors of 1922, will watch with unfailing interest the growth of the Dunkerton Consolidated Schools. t (Elaea U3iU We, the Senior Class of 1922, of Dunkerton High School, knowing that we are to leave this school forever, and being of sound and disposing minds and memories, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, in order that, as justly as may be, we can bequeath these following properties to our fellow sufferers, more commonly known as our classmates : Item I. We hereby bequeath to the Junior Class all the little special privileges that we as Seniors have enjoyed, the most important ot these being the right to bluff in all cases regardless of the consequences. Item 11. To the Sophomores we bequeath the great honor of publishing the next volume of “The Period,” and when in doubt over any of the problems which may confront them, consult the Seniors, for they are properly versed on all subjects regarding the publishing of an annual. It is also considered fitting and proper for the Juniors to make everything as uncomfortable and inconvenient for the Seniors as possible. Not only causing them a feeling of anxiety in all points concerning their more dignified brothers and sisters, but make them as miserable as possible. Item III. To the Freshman Class we bequeath our excellent example set in deportment, all our studious habits, and the respect which we had for our superiors. Item IV. We, the Seniors, leave our best wishes for success to the Faculty. Fourteen
