Fifth Term Class SOME achieve honor, and some have honor thrust upon them. We had the honor of being the senior class thrust upon us this term, but we intend to bear the responsibility so well that by June, 1926,— when we have achieved the right to be seniors—Grant High School shall be proud of its first graduating class. On October the eighth, eighty-four of us assembled in Room 214 during the study period to organize our class. We showed ourselves a class of rare judgment when we chose the following officers: Miss Burns, advisor; Miss Jones, honorary member; Walter Heitkemper, president; Mignon Morgan, vice-president; Jack Card, treasurer; Tom Dunham, sergeant-at-arms; and Helen Pearson, editor. Most of the work done by the class has been under the direction of committees appointed by President Walter Heitkemper. The social committee, consisting of Florence Wold, chairman, William McClung, John Dougherty and Kathleen Bell has been planning a dance to be given in the near future. On Open House night, Graham Covington, Richard Harper, Walter Heitkemper and John Deifell assisted as ushers. The candy booth, one of the greatest attractions of the evening, was in charge of Florence Bell, chairman, Caulean Creath, Lucille Laughlin, Marjory Whetsel and Fielda Wiggins. As a result of this sale the class contributed twenty-five dollars and seventy-one cents to the school treasury. The first student program assembly was given by our class on November 26. An excellent program was planned by a committee consisting of John Deifell, chairman, Marjory Whetsel, Clara Apple-gate, and Rodney Lloyd. We are represented i n the student council by Edgar Rutan, Mignon Morgan, and Dorothy Brown. “Memoirs” springs into being with some of our members: John Deifell, as editor-in-chief, Elizabeth Scott, as literary editor, and Richard Harper, as business editor. Some of the cheers heard most frecpiently on the football field were given for our men—Lloyd Backstrom, John Walker, Robert Pilkington, Tom Dunham, John Doherty, and George Greenland. All of the clubs have strong members from our group. Indeed, we are an enthusiastic, ambitious class, and, we are trying to remember that “the fifth termers are establishing the standard for Grant.” —John Walker. Secretary.
