THE HISTORY OF THE C. E. HUTCHINSON CLASS. The class of '19 needs no introduction to the public, as its fame is already well known. But as a gentle reminder, we will here leave a record of a few of its achievements. The class of '19 has been facing a different set of exist- ing conditions, owing to the great world war. than any of the previous classes have been called upon to face. Some of our boys were called to government service, but a few have returned this year to complete their school work, and will graduate with their class. The many Red Cross, Thrift Stamp, Liberty Loan and Refugee Relief drives have been met by the class with enthusiasm, and their patriotism has been shown by the willingness to sacrifice in order to help win the war. We have always felt that we were very wise and fortu- nate in our choice oi Mr. C. F.. Hutchinson as our class spon- sor. He has honored the parties given by the class each year with his presence, and has taken great interest in the class. The class has always immensely enjoyed itself when entertained by Mr. Hutchinson at his beautiful home. When we elected our class officers in our Junior year, we chose Charles I-oar as president. He was a good leader and would still have been our president if he had not gradu- ated with the class of '18 last year. When we started to school this year we saw that we needed a leader, and as Walter Smouse had always been an energetic and enthusi- astic worker when he was president during our Freshman and Sophomore years, we again chose him for our president. The class during its Junior year published the Maple Leaves under very trying conditions and the prediction that we would go bankrupt. We need not say tor the “Maple Leaves that they have proved to be both interesting and entertaining, as they speak for themselves. The demand for them has been so great that we here wish to inform those doubting predictors that we are far from being bankrupt. The dramatic and musical ability of many in the class has been shown on various occasions. The dramatic talent of the class has been enjoyed by the public and school in the chapel programs and play, The Time of His Life, given by our class when Juniors. The musical talent has been manifested through the glee club and orchestra on numerous occasions. The class is very proud of its athletic and cheer leaders. Without such efficient leaders, perhaps the trophy case which belongs to the school would not contain so many silver cups, which have been awarded as prizes to the athletic teams. We are soon to leave the High School, and while some of our number will continue their studies in various colleges or universities, others will assume responsibilities of earning a livelihood, and also a reputation, in the business world. It is with the assurance of success that we go forth to face any new responsibilities which we may be called upon to meet. Ruby Williams. Historian.
