C SENIOR CLAS On the tenth day of September, 1917, nienty-seven trembling little Freshmen entered G. H. S. amid the laugh- ter and jeers of the upper-classmen. All this made us the more determined to show them and we did. In our exams we had the least failures, and we were the first Freshman -class allowed to participate in entertainments and did credit to this privilege. A call was sent to the High School for Red Cross workers, and in this the Freshmen were also represented. As for athletics-why, we were right there, having two of our number on the H. S. Basketball team. In December we had a class meeting, chose Bob Gug- ler, president, Dorothy Moore, vice-president, Ray Dawson, secretaryg Retha Smith, treasurer, and steel gray and old rose for class colors. When the year drew to a close, because we had worked diligently we were privileged to call ourselves Sophomores. Hearing the school bell one beautiful day the next September, seventy-five of us assembled for our next year. Soon after school started we chose Ralph Cole, class president, Ralph Hoffman, vice-president, and Kenneth Casey, secretary and treasurer. For class colors we chose blue and white. Our class was also well represented in athletics this year. The time passed quickly and finally we received our grade cards telling us that we were Juniors. We began our farewell term in the old High School chapel, for after Christmas we were to move to the new H. S I-IISTGRY building. Lorin Knight was chosen to lead our class as president this eventful year. His worthy assistants were Kenneth Casey, vice-president, and Clarice Young, secre- tary and treasurer, and we decided to retain our old class colors of Yale Blue and White. This year we could boast of five athletes on the Foot- ball Eleven and four on the Basketball team. A record to be proud of. The banquet for the annual Junior-Senior Reception was held in the gym, which was decorated with apple blos- soms. Having done justice to the meal prepared by the Do- mestic Science Department everyone went to the Auditor- ium to be entertained by 'tPolly Lou, a playlet in two acts, which did much credit to the training of Mrs. Beck. During vacation our ranks were much depleted but on the tenth of September, our fifty-seven veterans returned to assume the school affairs and we hope we have not missed this privilege. This year, as in the years passed, the class of '21 has ex- celled in all things. The Dramatic and Glee Clubs were or- ganized and mostly supported by the Senior class and again our athletes have increased to nine on the Football team and four on the Basketball squad. And now as we stand upon the threshold of a new era of our lives, let us strive to keep on progressing as we have been in the past. Let our success become permanent. LEONA DEIBIG, '21. Nineteen
