Class History HAT a short time ago it is since we were Freshmen! We entered High School ninety-seven strong, our first function being the election of class oflicers. We were the hrst class to complete four years in the new building. We timidly attended the Hallowe'en party given us by the Sophs, and were thus initiated into the High School customs. A little later in the year we gave a garden party in their honor. Even in our first year, while we were still struggling to get on our feet, we were well represented in athletics, one of our boys being on the football squad, and three of our girls making the basketball team. We entered the Sophomore year with most of the Freshmen green worn off. This year was quite similar to the previous one, for we were again well represented in athletics. The biggest social event which we undertook was a successful dance given for the frisky Freshmen. They in their turn proved that they had caught the school spirit by entertaining us with a delightful party. ln the fall of '24, we again strutted into the assembly room, puffed up with importance, for were we not now upper-classmen? This was a record-breaking year in our class history. We were represented in athletics by seven boys on the football squad and basketball teams, and by five girls on the girls' baskeiball team. Two of our classmen were on the debating team, one of them, Walter Draeger, capturing the Lora A. Smith award, and another, Albert Bloomquist, receiving first place in the local oratorical contest and second in the district contest. Our play, Intimate Strangers, was quite a success. ln June we bade farewell to the Seniors at the Junior-Senior reception. We entered our last year of high school life with a feeling of anticipation, joy, and reluctance for the future. Miss Lardner was elected class patroness, but illness forced her to give up her school work, and Miss Campbell was chosen to take her placeg The officers whom we chose to represent us in our class activities were: President .......,,.,,................................................ CHARLES PHILLIPS Vice-President ...... ...... I IANNAH WoRsroLn Secretary .......... .......... lv IARTIN ALLEN Treasurer .................................................................i EUGENIA Scorr The first of May we held a reception for the Juniors, which was well attended. Our Senior play, The Youngest, was an unquestionable success, both as to presenta- tion of characters and financial returns. The Junior-Senior banquet, the last school function in which we participated, will ever be remembered as an evening of pleasant intimacy. Now as we close our school life, each of us has different aims and views for the future, but none of us will ever forget the days of happy work and play which we spent in our own Grand Haven High. --Elizabeth M CC racfcen.
