THE C E I E E i i) :s o History of the Senior Class In the spring of 1923 there were eighteen students enrolled in the first grade of the Edison and Isaac Walton schools. Keith Anderson, Arthur Ferguson, Hiram Hood, Charlotte Larkin, Clyde Knipp, and Keith Melvin w'ere enrolled in the Edison school. Billy Beckley, Mary E. Combes, Louis Downing, Jean Drennen, John Grisson, Mary Hagen, Leroy Hartman, Harvey Reavis, Lola Mary Weber, and Norma Zim- merman were enrolled in the Isaac Walton school. Many changes took place from the first grade to the seventh. Some of our classmates were waylaid and others we gained as we traveled through the grades. The class of 1923 took the third grade with the second, therefore, making us advanced one year. There were A and B classes, so we did not unite both A and B classes until we came to the seventh grade in the Isaac Walton school in 1929. In the seventh grade there were added to the original eighteen, Sara Ann Braun, John Bushman, William Dawson, Wilma Drennen, Virginia I'elkey, Louise Fincham, Doris Floyd, Maxine Floyd, Dorothy French, William 1 Iallock, Frances Healy, Eugene Herzog, Wilma Hibsch, Eve- lyn Hirstein, Mardell Howell, Mildred Jackson. June Johnson, Walter Johnson, Melvin Jones, Betty Kelso, Marjorie Knott, Nettie Mowry, Ernest Murray, Frances Pittman, Ralph Runyon, Dorothy Schnet .ler, Lloyd Slagel, Juanita Taque, Allen I hatcher, Dorothy I hompson, Mar- garet Troehler, Earl and Louis Tull, Kenneth West, and Andrew Zim- merman, twenty-one of whom are Seniors this year. Some of these moved away and were missed in the eighth grade, besides the few who were detained. The new students who joined us in the eighth grade, increasing our enrollment to thirty-eight were: Marjorie Knott, Melvin Jones, Walter Johnson, Ralph Runyon, Lloyd Slagel, Gwendolyn Alt, who came to us from Montana. I am very glad to say that we all were graduated and most of us took another step toward our education. A few of them be- lieved they knew enough to go out and conquer the world with just a grade school education, so we missed them when we gathered together in the fall at the Fairbury Township High School, dear old F. I. H. S. A few of them moved to other cities. That fall when we met in the assembly of F. T. H. S. there were sixty-six of us. Thirty-six came from the country and from out of town. As Freshmen we took part in the activities of the school. Many went out for glee clubs, and F rances Pittman, Sara Ann Braun, and Mil- dred Jones made the contest chorus. Mildred Jones, Dorothy Thompson, June Johnson, Keith Melvin, and Mary Hagen competed in the declama- tion contest. Some of the boys went out for basketball making the F resh-
