ORANCE AND BLACK 1923 Senior History ] Iistory repeats itself. s says a well known and often quoted adage, -a do not 1 e surprised if our history happens to he in some respects much like a great many other class chronicles you have read. I here is still enough difference to give us personality of our own. Four years ago we climbed the steps of Falls t ity High and timidly took our places among our superior classmen. A few weeks later we organized as a class. Our officers were: Margaret Frazier, President: John Lichtv, Vice-President; Charles Uhlig, Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Rankin. Sponsor. The two most interesting events for us during the season were the Freshmen Initiation given by the Sophomores and the Freshmen Return Party. We showed our true spirit by taking an active part in Athletics, and were represented on the staff by Clarence Gregg. The following year we put away our childish ways and adopted the airs of Sophomores. Elmer Massey was chosen President; Clarence Gregg, ice-President: Mildred Alderfer, Secretary and Treasurer, with Miss McAulcv, Sponsor. In Athletics we were represented by Cleo Hoffman and Lydia ulf. member of the Girls Basket Ball Team. Henry Scheitel and F.lmer Massey on the Football team: Berlyn Shields, Seward Jones and F.lmer Massey on the Base Ball team. Berlyn Shields acted as our representative on the Orange and Black Staff. The subjects that two years previous had sent our respect soaring to the loftiest heights, we as Juniors, determined to master. The trials and tribulations of Cicero and “Trig combined with Physics problems have at times almost proved our undoing. The officers elected for this year were: Cecil Crook. President; Cleo Hoffman, Vice-President; Wilma Coatney, Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Harris, Sponsor. On October 4, a meeting was called for the election of three members of our class to the Advisory Board. I he three were Chjirles Uhlig, Helen Lichtv and Elmer Massey. An Inter-class Basket Ball Tournament was held in December and we are proud to say our team carried the honors. The Junior-Senior Banquet held April 2d, was a great success due to the patience and untiring efforts of Miss Harris. In Football we were represented by Berlyn Shields. Cecil Crook, F.lmer Massey, Melvin Johnson and Donald Lovelace. We were represented on the Staff by Elmer Massey, Class Representative; and Wilma Coatney. Assistant Editor. We also furnished three letter men for the Basket Ball Team. They were Berlyn Shields, Cecil Crook and Lorene Buising. Cleo Hoffman and Lydia Wulf retained their former places on the Girls Basket Ball beam. We organized as a Senior Class with the following officers : 1 )onald Lovelace, President; Wilma Coatney, Vice-President: and Helen Lichtv, Secretary and Treasurer and Miss Miner, our Sponsor. We were well represented in Athletics this year and had the honor of furnishing the Captains for both, the Boys and Girls Basket Ball I'cams and the Football Team. When the Orange and Black Staff was selected, Wilma Coatney was chosen Editor-in-Chief: Cecil Crook, Business Manager; Helen Lichtv, Snapshot F'ditor; Berlyn Shields, Organizations, and Mary Cameron, Class Representative. As we reluctantly move on to make room for the following classmen we wish to thank the F'aculty for the help and patience they have shown us during our four years in F. C. H. S. Especially do we wish to thank Miss Miner for her part in making our Senior year so pleasant and successful.— II. L. '23 Page thirteen
