Senior Class In September 1922, the class of '26 began its activities. A few days after school began a party was held at Lincoln Park. At this affair a chapel stunt was planned and the next day, arrayed in the green caps which the upper classmen insisted we wear, l ut which they had erroneous- ly sold to us below cost, we informed the student ltody that Those Sophomores, those Sophomores, They think they're so sweetg Their heads have outgrown them And so have their feet. The night before Scrap Day was filled with activity. In a lumber wagon, drawn by a Ford, a number of the class explored the town. After this had been satisfactorily accomplished they returned to the campus and did some interior and exterior decorating. The class flag-pole was given a lovely coat of grease, classroom walls bore new designsg upon the side- walk was painted The Snobby Sophs of '22, which the incessant tramp of hurrying feet has not yet entirely effaced. The following day the Sophomores met their Waterloo and as losexfn were obliged to furnish the supper.. '26 had a float in the annual city paradeg put out an issue of The Volanteg and in the spring won the interclass track meet. The following fall we did not permit '27 to be first to put on a chapel stunt. We gave them a hard fight Scrap Day. The Sophomores' class flag was made of iron so the Freshies could not shoot it down and only superi- ority in numbers made them the victors. The first social event of that year was a steak fry at Koehler's Lake. A little later Prof. and Mrs. Meserve entertained at a Hard Time party. The invitations extended a welcome to bums, tramps, hicks, nuts and out- casts, and motley was the crowd which gathered. They were not too aban- doned, however, to appreciate the entertaining program of the evening. Again '26 won the interclass track meet. By our Junior year the class was much smaller. Many quit school to teach and do other work. Prof. and Mrs. Meserve again entertained at a lovely Valentine party. On Campus Day the Juniors played hookey and sneaked off for an early morning breakfast at the Central Power plant. For the third time we won the interclass meet and became permanent possessors of the Carey-Nietfeld trophy cup. Two of the boys, Wayland Rice and Fred Lape, won the state tennis championship in doubles. They were awarded the beautiful loving cup which may Ice seen in the liLrary at G. I. C. The fall of '25 saw a mere half dozen of the Freshies of '22 back in school. But from the four winds came Seniors to swell our ranks, until we numbered seventeen. Our loyal sponsors treated us to a watermelon feed while warm weather was still making school days irksome. Later, we had a Soldiers Home theatre party, followed by an oyster stew. In December, we were delightfully entertained by two of our new members, Mrs. Bernstein and Miss Bodmer, at a Christmas party. We are nearing the college students' goal and will soon leave these scenes behindg but throughout our lives they wifl return.
