,JQ Ee F-7 Y ill lliitll l l Senior Class History. What pen can depict the noble deeds and glorious achievements of the immortal class of 1922? This is but a weak attempt of mine to perform that difficult task. However, I will at least try to relate a portion of our history. One beautiful morning in September of 1918 there was a mighty rustle and buzz of excitement heard all over the chapel of the old High School when the illustri- ous class of '22, one hundred strong, entered. lt is need- less to say that the upper classmen were overcome with admiration at our brave bearing. They had expected to see green little Freshies timidly enter the chapel, very much scared. Amid a burst of applause at our extreme bravery, which raised our courage we managed to find our seats somehow. Thus starts the history of the Class of '22. in our Freshman year We did many things worthy of praise. First of all, we chose excellent class ofticers. Also we chose red and black as our class colors, and these colors we have always held high. Many of the boys in the class are athletes, and in their Freshman year, they made an enviable showing. During this year we were also well represented in music, five of the instru- ments in the H. S. orchestra having been played by Freshman hoys. Theodore Poister became High School Pianist, and we claim this is an horor to any class. The next year we came back determined to do even greater and bigger things than the year previous, and we did it. This year Mackey, Wisterman and Schreck played on the regular team in football, and Mackey made the Varsity in basketball. Moreover, we subscrilzed more than any other class to United War Work. Our Junior year was even more successful than the other two. As time went on the class became lzetter and better. This year several of the best athletes on the football, basketball and track teams were Juniors. Besides this, the Varsity Cheerleader, Edwin Wiener, was picked from this class. We also played a prominent part in the rendition of the Creation , as we also did in the Dramatic club. The Junior-Senior Reception was one that will not soon be forgotten, as it was the most elaborate affair ever heard of in the annals of G. H. S. history. We have had many social gatherings which we can- not easily forget. Among these were Wiener roasts, sleigh- ing parties, Hallowe'en parties, etc. This, our last year, has been one of many happen- ings and much happiness, Sorrowfully we realize as each day passes, that we are just one day nearer the goal which we have been struggling to reach for the last four years. We look back upon our happy Freshman days to the present, and wonder if there has ever been such a happy, care-free class. Truly there has never been one that has equaled our powers of concentration, our ability to study and capacity for learning. Now that you have read a part of our history, per- haps you will have some little idea as to our achieve- ments. You can surely realize how much the under-class- men will lose by our departure, how sad the faculty will feel after the final realization is thrust upon them that we will not be there next year. Nineteen twenty-two stands sixty-six strong, ever ready to help Galion High and the old Alma Mater kipows that her present class will strive to do her honor. - EDWIN D. WIENER '22.
