Class of Winter ' 21 A START IN LIFE HE CLASS of XYinter Twenty-one was first organized in the Spring of 1919 when in its junior B term. At that time the class was allowed only a chairman and no other officers, as ,-.fl the honor of a complete organization was reserved for the ' tail Senior term. Al Barnes was chosen for the office, and the class began its career at Franklin under the able direction of Miss Alberta Clark. During the first half of the Junior term, 1 NZ' 1 a death in the family of our beloved class teacher necessitated ,QED ji an absence of several weeks, during which time Miss Yan Camp substituted as advisor and guardian. The first of the class's many enterprises was successfully carried out when an ice cream booth and picture gallery were erected and operated during the May Day fete of 1919, at a substantial profit to the Girls' League. The then Junior class was also one of the first classes to receive a one-hundred-per-cent diploma in the Red Cross drive. Even at that early date the entire class showed that they were full of pep and ready to boost Franklin in every way possible. A French orphan was supported during both the junior and Senior terms. The class contributed over one hundred dollars to this worthy project during that time. SENIOR B'S At the beginning of the Senior B term, February, 1920, the guardianship of the future graduates was placed in the hands of Mark M. Horton, who soon gained the love and admiration of the entire class and recompensed the loss of one for whom we felt a sincere friendship, Miss Clark. As a complete organization was not allowed until the end of the first ten weeks of the Senior B term the -present administration was re-elected and the Ship of State sailed on. The most noteworthy accomplishment of the Senior B term was the entertainment of the Class of Summer Twenty, which was given in the form of a skating party at Alhambra. Although a heavy rain set in and lasted nearly all evening, almost-one hundred per cent of both classes were present, everyone was in the best of humor and all had a really good time. At the beginning of the second ten weeks, the class was formally organ- ized into the Class of NVinter Twenty-Qneg president, Al Barnes, vice-presi- dent, Kathrine Norton, secretary, Mildren Dennis: and social chairman, Frances Siebold. - THE HIGH AND MIGHTY NVith the opening of the fall term the High and Mighty Senior A Class displayed an unbelievable amount of initiative and pep, and it was through the continued efforts of all of its members that it was able to accomplish so many things during such a short time. The first few weeks of the term were spent in reorganizing, appointing committees, choosing colors, songs, yells, etc. Al Barnes. Kathrine Norton, and Mildred Dennis were re-elected to the respective positions, and Hasel Hood was elected social chairman. At this time in the term twenty-two members were enrolled, and we hoped to be the first winter class to be honored with an Ephebian member. However, two members dropped out before the end of the term and the class 114,
