THE GLEE CM B Glynn Hodge . William Holst Maud Mueller Sidney Winters . . . President Vice-President . . . Secretary . . . Li brarian Soon after school opened in September, the Glee Club again organized with an enrollment of 125. Under the capable direction of Miss Morgan The Crowning of the Gypsy Queen was given last year and it certainly was a “crowning” success. This year the annual opera will be The Egyptian Princess, and as we still have Miss Morgan ' s faithful guidance and with the largest enrollment ever known we can reasonably expect and hope for another huge success. The Glee Club has grown from a few members to what it now is and it certainly has done some big things since its organization. Moreover it is growing larger every year. THE CLASS OF Mi . At the beginning of the spring term the Class of ' 19 met and organized. The following officers were elected: President William Holst Vice-President Harry Hughes Secretary Kathleen Rader Treasurer Luella Deterding Our Class consisted of 34 members and we are proud to say that all these were able to finish their High School career together. At an early meeting it was decided to publish an annual but as we were hard pressed for time it was only possible to publish a Granois Petite. Our Class was very enthusiastic and every member helped in some way to accomplish its publication. THE JCMOK CLASS. The Juniors taking our example organized early and chose for its officers: Richard Reese President Sidney West Vice-President Emily Graff Secretary Roland Mueller Treasurer George Short: “When joy and duty clash, Let duty go to smash.” Page Thirty-one

This year ' s class, not wanting to be outdone by the former Juniors, again decided to give their annual boat ride, tho it is a far more expensive and difficult proposition for a class undertaking than it has been heretofore On May 28th this longed for excursion will occur. The Steamer St. Paul is the best boat on the river and everv one agrees that this should be the best of all boat excursions. tor reasons unknown, the Freshmen and Sophomores did not organize. Anyway that is expecting a little too much trom such young children. We hope that their minds and bodies will have developed enough by next year, so that thev will be able to carry on an organization. MM I A L OCCASIONS. The Senior Girls entertained the Senior Boys at a party which was given March 21st. at eight o ' clock in the High School Gym. The entire class was present and also the two deans, together with several other teachers of the school who assisted in chaperoning the party. The evening was spent in playing games, for which several prizes were awarded. Several selections were rendered on the piano by different members of the class. Light refreshments were served at a late hour after which the class departed, having spent an exceedingly delightful social evening together— and still tasting that salad prepared by Miss McLellan. Another event of the season was the party given by Wanda McLellan for the members of the annual staff The hour for the party was set for seven-thirty and as our class is noted for promptness we were assembled at the stated time. Every one seemed to be in good spirits, and very agreeable to everything suggested. Games were played, but music seemed to be one of the best features of the evening. However Miss Rauch seemed to be with us in spirit as every one indulged in artistic physical culture, as we the Sen- ior ( lass need plenty of exercise to increase our dainty appetites. Pineapple sherbet, with chocolate and white cake, was served. The party adjourned at an early hour (in the morn- ing) and the ne xt day every one caine to school yawning ATHLETICS. Our Athletic Association was organized in 1906. for the purpose of accomplishing as much as possible in athletics Athletics, this year, was seriously interfered with by the closing of Granite High due to the Influenza Epidemic ' Af- ter the opening of school the interest in Basket-Ball grew and the Class Tournament was held in December The Tournament ended with the Sophomores holding first place, the Seniors second, the Freshmen third, and the Juniors ourth. From the tournament teams the regular squad was picked. Several of our former players had enlisted and our team was practically a new one and very light in weight. However, this new team showed a great deal of -pep” and the school was with them. Genevieve Turley: Life is joy to a cheerful mind.” Page Thirty-two
