iT5ff3MiA1wi I 5' Senior Class History The class of twenty-six has been conspicuous for its originality and accomplish- ments since the time it entered Ellensburg High School up to the time of its gradua- tion. Owing to our modesty, however, we will not record all the events which have marked our progress as the four years of high school passed. As freshmen We were not so green as some classes but no doubt, as a few will remember, the green has predominated at time.s. We very soon overcame our shy- ness and established our place as the peppiest freshman class thus far. The sophomore year is usually the dullest for any class and just a few events of interest mark this stage in our pursuit of education. We entered upon our junior year with great expectations and the knowledge that as juniors we would most greatly enjoy our high school life. We knew that as seniors we would have our hardest studying to do and as we were no longe.r underclassmen the seniors and juniors could no longer dictate to us. We are much indebted to our boys who represented us in football for a great deal of our prominence in the life of the school. Our debaters were excellent and we also owe much gratitude to them. Our first dance was a decided success coming toward the close of the football season. For interest and successful achievement the Junior Prom was the foremost event of the year. At last we bacame seniors, the model for the whole school. Our first dance given in honor of the freshmen was more than a success and we sincerely hope we impressed the frosh with some of the feelings we experienced as freshmen. The football season followed and the school's very successful team was largely composed of members of the class of twenty-six.'John Wright, Philip Short, Cleo Riegel, Gerald Grant. In bas- ketball we had members who again deserve praise. They included John Wright, Ger- ald Grant, Joyce DeWeese. Baseball and track men were also among the numbers of our class. Our debaters included Bernice Johnson, Wayne Clinesmith, and Helen Hof- mann deserve much rank. In the play contest our boys who took part in A Nite at An Inn are mentioned for splendid interpretation of difficult parts. They were Laurel Smith, Cleo Riegel, and Joyce DeWeese. Our honor students deserve mention for a great many of our numbers have at- tained the honor roll and much difficulty was encountered in chosing our valedic- torian as so many had worthy claims to the honor. Since the Klahiam is printed before the Senior Ball and Class Play take place we cannot here record their success, but concluding from our past success in all under- takings we can predict the same for them. 21
