SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1916 a most enthusiastic group of seventy-nine Freshmen began their interesting career in Garrett High. We were given a social entertainment and very civil reception in the High School building by the Class of ' 19, after the de¬ cision had been made to modify the initiation of Freshmen. However, some members of the class of ’19, unable to abide by the “Golden Rule,’’ gave several of our boys a very enthusiastic welcome, with the result that the latter were robbed temporarily of some of their personal beauty. Our first year in high school was occupied in those most numerous mistakes and blunders that are inevitable in the career of every Freshman class. As Sophomores, we formed our first class organization. This event was espec¬ ially important, because it was the first time a class had organized before they had assumed the dignified title of “Juniors.” The year was spent in numerous parties and social events, and we gradually began to realize the many benefits of a class or¬ ganization. When we entered old room Seven, beginning our role as Juniors, we determined to make the year a most successful one. The class was organized the second week of school, and after we had enjoyed several parties, we began to comprehend the fact that it was time to plan for our Carnival. Several busy weeks followed, with the class of ’20 working most energetically, and when the eventful time arrived, the most successful Carnival of all was presented. A large sum of money was cleared, and it was decided to expend this for some entertainment of the Class of ’19. Ac¬ cordingly, on May 5, 1919, the most prominent social event of the year, the Junior- Senior banquet, was held and proclaimed a decided success by all. Soon after the graduation of the 1919 Class, we Juniors left for Lake Wawasee, where we enjoyed a week of fun and good times. As Seniors, we have reached the zenith of our school day ambitions. On the first Monday of school forty-two old faithfuls answered the call of the school-bell and began our work as Seniors. The class organization took place September 18, 1919, and plans were immediately made for the raising of money for our Memorial fund. The proceeds from our “Movie” show, which amounted to sixty-five dollars, was set aside as a part of this fund. In the high school honor roll the Seniors were foremost and we were first to go “over the top” in the A. A. memberships. Our class also possesses the winner of the prize essay contest. Athletics have been made most successful in our high school this year, due to the fact that the Senior Class furnished a majority of the football, basketball and baseball candidates, in addition to three captains. We are indeed proud of our Memorial Library, consisting of one hundred dollars worth of the best books available and presented to Garrett High in remembrance of the class of ’20. It is our earnest desire that the future Senior classes will con¬ tribute to this library, so that our high school may boast an efficient, creditable school library. The social events of our Senior year have been many. We have enjoyed numerous parties, bobsled rides and “feeds.” Our Senior class play, “The Corner Store,” presented after weeks of practice, was a decided success, and most assuredly the best entertainment given during this school year. The proceeds from this will finance the Senior lake trip, which is scheduled for the week following graduation. We, as Seniors, are leaving the G. H. S. in the care of you under-graduates, expecting you to cherish and revere the old Maroon and Blue. It is our most ardent desire that the future graduating classes, following our example, will be true and loyal to Garrett High; that they will back athletics; encourage the efforts of the A. A..; and that they will help to raise the standard and character of the G. H. S. to the highest degree. —VIRGINIA PATTERSON. Page Nineteen
