CLASS HIS T O R Y SB 31 Hi After eight years of toil and fun we gained our aim of be- coming Freshmen in Granite High. There were sixty of us. Owing to our number the Seniors ■were glad to let us go unmolested. Oh! How distinctly I remember that first day. We were all standing in the corridor when the bell sounded telling us that school was about to start. We rushed in and took the cen- ter seats, which were nearest and most convenient. After we were seated permanently, as we thought, a man who had been addressing us from the platform asked us to move out of the center rows so the Seniors could be seated. We Freshies then moved to rear and side seats, or wherever we could find one . Everything went smoothly until the war came. Our class, following the example of organizations all over the country, engaged itself in war work. We sewed for the Red Cross, we gave our help to the Y. M. C. A. drives, and aided other organi- zations in their efforts. The events of the year were factors in developing the character of every member of our class. Our Sophomore year sped by rapidly, followed by an event- ful Junior year. This was the year of all years. We purchased books and more books. We were determined we would study and not “fool around,” as we had done the previous years. Again our resolutions were broken, for we skipped classes, we even raised the Junior Colors above the school. Indeed you would be shocked if I should name some of the participants, but of course since they are still surviving, I shall not disclo se their identity. The most important event of our Junior year was an all- day excursion on the Saint Paul, which was given in honor of the Seniors. It was the biggest and best excursion that had ever been given by any Junior class. And a better day could not have been chosen. Of course, we had been watching the weather reports every day, and finally we picked out a day which we thought every one would want. We had no sudden showers to mar our pleasures and it was neither too warm nor too cool. After we reached Piasa Chautauqua, for that is where we stopped off, we had two hours with which to enjoy ourselves in sight- seeing. When the two hours were up, we all went back to the boat and then started for home, and by the time we were back we were all tired, but everyone agreed and that they had net enjoyed themselves on an excursion quite so well as on this one, which of course pleased us exceedingly. At last the long desired Senior year arrived. It was begun with a decreased number of our class roll. We organized our class the third week of school. For President we elected Hugh Krause; Vice President, Sidney West; Secretary, Meta Turley, and Treasurer, Thelma Danforth. K I v i n Wilcox: “A hold l ad mail. Page Twenty
