 ophumori' history In September, 1920, we, the Sophomores of 1022, started on our brilliant high school career. Six students who were graduated from the Dunkerton school in May were on hand and were joined by seven others from rural districts. The roll was as follows: Naomi Brant, Russell McNellis, Melba Dun- kerton. Randall Brant, Elma Magee, Irene Benzing, Marjorie Reinhart, Roe Clark, Alice Allen, Blanche Leisinger, Elise Cummings, Elise Turner, and Mary Ackerman. During the year Elise Turner and Mary Ackerman moved to Waterloo, and Thelma Scott from West High joined our ranks. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, Harold Owen, Roger Smith, Clarence Liebert and Clair Barlow were added to our number, and Blanche Lesinger rejoined us in October, after an absence of the first few weeks. Elma, Melba Dunkerton, Naomi Brant, Russell McNellis, and Randall Brant have come up together from the primary grades. The Sophomores were the first class to enter the Dunkerton Consolidated High School from the grades. Twenty-Six

JfTreshmatt Notes j The present Freshman class is larger than any other Freshman class that has ever entered the Dunkerton High School.' The enrollment is seventeen. At the first of the year we started to school in the old High School Building. We Freshies got a good many slams about being green. Of course we were! A few days after school had started the older classes decided they would have a party and initiate the Freshmen into High School. T he hard time party” (as it was called) was held in the basement of the Baptist Church. We spent the evening playing games, after which refreshments were served. We are taking four subjects this year — Algebra, English, General Science, and History. From September to December many incidents occurred in our classes, showing us that we were here for some real work. We were sorry to lose two members of our class, Joe Hazel and Clair Maurer. In the latter part of February the High School moved to the new school building. At this time Maude Kennison entered our class. The athletic boys gave a party, April the eighth, at which many of the Freshmen were present. We played several games, after which refreshments were served. The Freshman class is represented in the Glee Clubs and one of our boys plays on the second team in Basket Ball. A Declamatory Contest was given by the High School, January 30th, in which four Freshmen had part. Grace Bartholomew and Harlan Faris took second prize and Harold Sadler took third prize. We felt it quite an honor to have so many winning contestants. The Freshmen are all looking forward with great interest to the next three years of High School life. Twenty-Eight
