HISTORY OF CLASS OF ’16. Carrie Kogel, Class Historian. In September, 1912, we entered the High School with an enrollment ol forty-six. During this year we were very timid as we were teased very much by the upper-classmen. Edgar Lewis was elected presi- dent at our first class meeting. During the final examinations there was great excitement, everyone wish- ing to find out whether or not he passed. On our. return the next year we were better acquainted. We had learned to be late to classes and how to bluff so as to get thru our subjects with little study. Ask Katie and Max it it isn t tun, for they have made quite a practice of it in Com’l Geography. Our first social function was a hay ride. The wagon was quite crowded, so Miss Robbins and Miss Martin had a hard time watching every one. The long ride into the country proved delightful and on our return, all went to the home of Zella Bandy and enjoyed ourselves, playing many interesting games As Juniors, our class was still more depleted in number. This year passed rapidly with many good times. First of all we hail a Hallowe’en party, given in the gymnasium. The room gave a creepy feeling as the ghosts wandered around without uttering a sound. At a late hour everything became gay, for a went upstairs to luncheon. , . Another great event was the St. Valentine party. Miss Martin, one of the chaperones, gave a talk on her early love affairs. Hundreds of hearts, cupids and kewpies of all sizes were suspended Irom the ceiling and formed curtains to secluded corners. , , fto On March 18. the Senior Girl’s Basket Ball Team entertained the Junior Team. ( andy of all kind was made. The Seniors were charming entertainers, but still w r e, the Juniors could boast ot being the vie or- The Junior-Senior banquet was the greatest event of the year. After many days planning the day arrived and was gone before we knew it. A speech was made by the “Kaiser on Why sunshine makes Our Senior Year came all too soon. On looking over the class roll we had only twenty in number. We as a class have shone brilliantly in athletics and intellectual contests. The Senior class of 16 lurnished the “Basket Ball Five,” “Duke,” Oozy, “Holy,” “Jerry,” and “Dutch.” Cozy was chosen as the captain i of the All-Star-Team of the Southern Illinois District. The class track meet has been taken n i } T6 for three successive years. THIRTEEN
