The history of our Cla s begins in the autumn of 1912. for we consider history before this time as ancient. When the people of that time gathered together they found their little hand to number sixty-five. We were typical Freshmen and everything seemed new to 11s. The first week was spent largely getting into the wrong classes and staying a half period or so before di covering the mistake. We soon found by our keen observation that in order to progress we must organize and choose from among us those that could lead 11s succe sfully in this new life. As it was a new life we were entering in, much depended on the selection of these leaders, and if we had been students of theosophy we would have blamed it on this for our wise choice and forethought in electing for our pre idem Mabel Crush; vice president, Charles Miller, and secretary-treasurer. Madeliene Dillie. The teachers and School Board, together with the Class of 1915. decided that we were too brilliant to be initiated into the mysteries of High School, so we escaped the much-dreaded Freshman reception. The first place where we displayed our brilliance in public was at the semester jubilee. Each class pulled off a stunt and ours showed up well among the rest. The following September we again took up our work as Sophomores. Our number had decreased some, but the spirit of the Class was the same. With more experience and knowledge of High School life, we at once organized and elect' d for president Charles Miller: vice-president, Audrey Marion; secretary-treasurer. Mildred Harris. Audrey took the position as president for the last half of the school year, as our president quit school for a time.
