Wl : : ' . ' -- ■-.- ' ilSSPtW CLASS HISTORY One bright day in early September a large group of straggling little strangers, more commonly spoken of in high school as freshmen, streamed into the open doors of Manual Training High School. They had just been graduated and were now leaving the only school they had ever known to come to Manual. Here they were, eager to seek new friends, new teachers, new classmates, and a higher education. Since I was one of ihem, and passed through the massive doors with them, I overheard two persons talking. I thought they were teachers. One of them said ' Where do you suppose they aH came from? The other answered, I am sure I don ' t know, but do you think they will all stay long enough to graduate? I did not hear the reply, but I wonder if those same teachers were here today and could see the gathering on class day, if they would recognize some of these faces. Little did any one realize that those straggling freshmen would constitute this June, 1921, graduating class. Those pupiltf passed from frtshmen to sopho- mores, from sophomores to juniors and from juniors to the most envied rank of a student in the high school course — The Senior. Until this time, Manual had recognized only as individuals, by means of honor rolls, and other under- classmen activities, the scholarship and merits of these young students. Then one day these same pupils were assembled in the auditorium to be Organized as the June, 1921, graduating class. This first meeting, which was afterward followed by numerous others, gave them reason to believe And to know that they were now a vital part of this great school. On Friday, October 8, 1920, the organization meeting of this big senior class took place. Of course the first thing to do was to elect officers. There were so many good candidates for the offices that it took so long to decide who would be best that only three officers could be elected the first day. Miss Knox took charge until Claude Pitzenberger was elected president. Then he marched timidly to the platform and carried on the meeting. Evelyn Athon wasi elected to take Claude ' s place in case he would be absent any time Lois Unversaw was elected to keep minutes of all the meetings of this class. We did not have time to elect a treasurer at this meeting, but some names were announced as candidates and we were requested to thins seriously aboui our treasurer before the next meeting. This took place on Wednesday, October 13, and Charles Johnson was elected to keep our money safely. With these officers is it any wonder that we are a good class? Wednesday, October 24. Wednesday, which seemed to be a favorite day, was sometimes also a glad, sad, or indifferent day for our class. Royal Purple was chosen as class color. The January class realizing how splendid was the June class, Invited us to their Ivy Day exercises and dance. The class, as a whole, wish to thank the Januarys for this pleasing time. Wednesday, November 24. Awful Wednesday, but I suppose misfortunes will happen to any one. We were forced to elect a new vice president. There were still so many who wished to share this honor of the class that this was not a hard job. Wilmetta Mitchell was elected vice president by a large majority. Continued on Back Cover (Inside)
