E. F. A. 1921 ANNUAL iiiiii»iiiiiiii«iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim The next year, we became juniors and very anxious to show off the dignity acquired by becoming upper classmen. Our officers that year were: Eldon Chapman, President; Jennie Margaret Logue, Vice-Presi- dent; Verna Baxter, Secretary; Edmond Sherman, Treasurer; Miss Graves, Patron. During this year we became much better organized and gained more class spirit. We held two parties: one, in the gym., for the whole school; the other, a private party m the Federation. Both were very successful. i And now we come to our senior year—by far, the most wonderful and most successful of all, because we know that is to be our last one to- gether before we go our separate ways into the world. At the beginning of the year we chose very capable officers in: Edmond Sherman, President; Georgia Randall, Vice-President; Esther Flynn, Secretary; Booth Crise, Treasurer; Miss Elizabeth Grube, Patron Saint. Our first social event was a Hallowe'en party in the gym. This was followed by our Senior Reception, which was by far the most successful one ever held and reflects great credit on the committee in charge. We have held other small parties during the year, also. In February our Get-Together Party was held at school and afforded our parents and our teachers an opportunity of becoming acquainted. Later events were our Senior Play and the Senior Carnival. But so far, we have spoken only of social events. Have we been as successful in the other sides of school life as we have in social life? Have we gained anything valuable in our high school life? And the answer to both questions is—“Yes.” 1921 has excelled in honor students. The class, as a whole, has kept it’s average in studies far above par. In athletics, too, we have been well represented. In football, five senior boys played on the team. In basket- ball, also, we have had five representatives on the varsity, while we had a separate class team that kept up an excellent record. To sum up what we have learned—what we will carry in our hearts when'we go out into the world: we have learned how to work; to strive for the highest goal; and by accomplishing the impossible by work, we have-found the secret of happiness. Let us always remember that, in after years recall the happy days and pleasant spirit of comradeship between students and teachers at dear E. F. A. Three cheers for ’21.
