Senior History Did you say the class of '20 had “peP” and originality? Well I'll say so! This exceptional class entered Grants Pass High School on September II. 1016. seventy-two strong and bid fair to outshine all the other “Frosh” entering before them in talents and achievements. One of our brilliant achievements accomplished was our first class meeting when we elected for our Freshmen officers: President. Donald Lucas: Vice President. Hazel Bar-row: Secretary, Jean Davis: Treasurer, Percy Scoville; Representative to Student Body. Gladys Hood, and chose for our class colors old rose and green which comprised a very attractive pennant. Our secretary’s departure from the city caused her resignation, but Carlotta Wiseman very ably took her place. The first High School party we attended was a reception given by the Sophomore class which was a great success, as have been all other social functions in which we participated. A great deal of credit during the year was due to our able and willing class advisor. Miss Marion I. White. We blossomed out in the beginning of our second year and showed the rest of the school what our class could do in all kinds.of war work. Several entertainments and sales were staged and the proceeds obtained were given to the Red Cross and other war societies. To guide us through this busy year, we chose Eugene Halliday as President: Ver-netta Quinlan. Vice President: VeOna Williams. Secretary, and Leonard Kendall 1 reasurer, but during the year our president and treasurer moved away, whereupon Carl Isenburger was elected President and Paul Wilkins, Treasurer, to fill their places. The Student Body Representative this year from our class was Carlotta Wiseman. Then followed the big social year. Pep was oozing out of every one of the thirty members now enrolled as Juniors and we entered into social duties with vim. The .Senior Class of T 9 was entertained several times and a number of Catchy little vaudeville stunts were performed during the year, in the assembly. We elected Carl Hannum. President: Vernetta Quinlan. Vice President: Carlotta Wiseman. Secretary: Royston Lacey. Treasurer and to represent us in the Student Body. Carl Isenburger. The President having left school to accept employment, the Vice President was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy, and Lynetta Quinlan was appointed as Vice President. This vear closed with happy anticipation for our last year of high school looming up in the distance. Having had three years of high school training our minds being more matured and our physiques developed, we now contemplate the more serious sides of life and begin to plan what business lines we should follow and what pursuits in life immediately confront us. It is really interesting to note the different ideas manifested by the students of t ie class, some having developed executive ability, some musical talent, some seeing just the social side of life. whi e ethers are still somewhat giddy. However, it is very pleasing and gratifying to record the stupendous development throughout. The following were elected as the executive officers: Robert Bestul, President: Thelma Robinson. Vice Pr'side-t; Carlotta Wiseman. Secretary: Sherman Smith. Treasurer. The offices cf r residc't Secretary and Treasurer of the Student Body were chosen from our class, those being Wilbur Bearss, Carlotta Wiseman. Royston Lacey, respective- 16
