HISTORY OF CLASS OF '21. One beautiful day in the fall of '17, a crowd of twenty-two pleasant appearing, happy faced children appeared at E. R. V. S. One event which took place this year was when the Sen- iors took the Freshies' hair-ribbons. Many social affairs made this year very pleasant. In September, 1918, we had reached one step higher and were known as Sophomores, which term has been translat- ed Wise Fools. We most all enjoyed the study of Caesar'?'? This was a very pleasant year in spite of the fact that many who were Freshmen with us did not come back for the second year. We were known as Juniors the next year and never was a class more important than this. The Juniors showed great spirit at all athletic games, took part in all school activities. We gave a reception to the Sen- iors. Although it rained that night and the sweet peas which we had ordered Cid not come, it was a very enjoyable evening to all. Most all the Juniors took part in the play which was given before school closed. On August 30, 1920, we assembled in the study hall where we took up our duties as Seniors. The members of this active class were regarded by the underclassmen with awe. There were not many social affairs this year as we were busy and could not afford to lose much sleep. However, all things must end some day and such it is with the Class of '21, In May we will reach that goal toward which we have been striving for four years. Yet we must not stop here but must continue to strive toward higher ideals. So may the Class of '21 be the finest, the best and the greatest to graduate from Elders Ridge Vocational School.
