We entered high school in September 1921, frightened and unaware of what was before us, but with brave hearts and a determination to do our best. There were forty-six of us, the largest class that ever enrolled. We can well remember how timid we were and how we dreaded initiation. Mr. Bell and Miss Farlow were our class sponsors. By the beginning of our sophomore year we had lost much of our timidity, much to the sorrow of our teachers. Miss Connell was appointed our sponsor and has been our guide and friend for the past three years. We now organized our class, elected officers, and joined in the interest of all school activities. We became so fond of school that several of our number stayed after school once in a while, and the teachers seemed to enjoy our company. The Juniors, they surpass them all! So said our able philosopher, Dorothea McNally. We did our utmost to live up to this phrase, and a large share of work and study was mingled with delightful parties and good times. We became expert confectioners during the year, and by three candy sales realized the money to defray expenses for the Junior- Senior Banquet. How we did enjoy our preparations for this climax of our Junior year! In a flower decked garden we bid farewell to the Seniors whose places we were to take so soon. Behold! Ye stately dignified Seniors! By this time we had come to realize the important role the Senior class plays in school activities. Upon us many things depended. No longer could we look to a higher class to take the lead. During the first week of school we elected oflicers and planned regular class meetings. The next duty for us to take care of was The Echo. Mr. Osborn called a joint meeting of Juniors and Seniors to elect the Staff for the 1925 annual. Five of the eight members were elected from our class. Miss Connell was chosen as Staff sponsor, and work on The Echo was started
