l taturg of (Hlaaa of In September, 1923, the Freshman Class, numbering seventy, enrolled with Mrs. Anderson as registration teacher, and elected Harold Wiester class president. After a term of trying tribulations and finally triumph, the ninth month ended, and the verdant Frosh celebrated the first milestone in their high school career with a picnic at the beach. Sixty solemn Sophomores returned in the fall of ’24 and set forth upon another year of elevating their education and increasing their in- tellect. Miss Ayre was class advisor and Philip Luther was chosen president of the class. Geometry was the chief obstacle surmounted by successful Sophs that year, with history running a close second. Social events spon- sored by the Sophomores were an unusually successful Paper Sack Party, and a joy-diffusing picnic at Hall’s Lake. Miss Ayre again took charge of the members of the Class of ’27, as they entered, fifty strong, upon their career as Jolly Juniors, and Earl Hedges was elected president. Dramatic talent of the class was displayed in “Oh Suzanna!” the three-act comedy of an old maid’s worries, which was presented by the Juniors. Lake Stevens was the destination of the joyous picnickers at the termination of the semester, and the Class of ’27 emerged again victorious from a series of tasks accomplished—for the most part, that of Chemistry. Came forty stately Seniors in the fall of ’26, to complete their edu- cation at E. H. S. Mrs. Bettinger acted as class advisor and Maurice McClane performed the duties of president. The first notable deed of the class was to draw up an excellent Senior Code, which expressed their aims, aspirations, and hoped for goals, and by which each Senior was to abide, that he might be worthy of his school. The Class colors of old rose and green were selected, and the rose was proclaimed the flower of the Senior Class. The Senior Party, held in October was no less than a “glowing suc- cess , and the Senior Assembly, held shortly afterward, was described in similar terms. “One Room, Plus”, the highly entertaining comedy, treating with the effects of the ultra-modern flapper of today upon seemingly contented home life, was presented in March by the Senior Class. The crowning achievement of the Senior history was the publishing of the all-school annual, Echo, upon which all efforts were earnestly ap- pl:ed, and whose completion marked the end of a period of true labor.
