I 94 1917 Class Hisfory In the fall of 1913 there entered the Academy a group of new students destined to play an important part in school history. That part is now a matter of record: the present account can be only the outline of our past. At our first meeting We elected as our President G. F. Orloff, who left school before the semeste-r's end and was succeeded by H. B. Scanlon. H. G. Preece was elected for the second semester and served us Well. Dix Delamar and Ted Hatfield were our Presidents in 1914 and '15, a year marked by a broader field of activity and real development for the class of 1917. Danielson was our first President in 1915 9 and it was in this semester that We gave our class dance, our first attempt of this kind, and a real success. Marcella Smith occupied the chair for the last half of the year. Last September we chose Herbert Johnson, who enjoyed a prosperous and for the most part, an uneventful administration. Danielson was again elected in February and seemed bound to bring us to commencement without a hitch but When War Was declared in April, Fountain, Currey and Dan were the first to enlist and Gladys Robertson was called on to serve us. Creditable as our record has been in Athletics, Debate and Scholarship, school activities seem to grow less important in the face of our national crisis. Since our first enlistments, atleast twelve of our class have gone to serve their country-Johnson and Kirkbride in the Marines, Dahle in his state guard, Adams in the Cavalry, Gordon in the Navy and Art Finch in a hospital unit. A Even before graduation, the class of 1917 is beginning to make for itself history in the larger sense-history that will not cease to be vital in June, 1917, or 1927 or 1957.
