SENIOR CLASS HISTORY I our years ago. in the fall of 1921, ninety-six ungainly looking Freshmen entered Grants Pass Hi. At their first meeting the following officers were elected: Milton Green, president; Albert Smith, vice-president; Ruth Newman, secretary; Kenneth 1 ompkins, treasurer; Harriett Clapp, representative to Student Body Council, and Miss Yannke, class advisor. Having been duly initiated they soon made a name for themselves. Blue and gold were chosen for class colors. 1 he following year they re-entered school as Sophomores, a little more intelligent looking than the year before, and ready to help the school all they could. The officers elected were Milton Green, president; Dorothy Zimmerman, vice-president; Albert Smith, secretary; Marie Harbeck. treasurer; Catherine Carrell, representative to Student Body Council, and Mr. Schenk, class advisor. As Sophomores they participated in all forms of athletics, having four boys on the first team in football, and two girls on the basketball team. In baseball both boys and girls played. I he Sophomore boys won the interclass baseball and basketball championship and the girls won the baseball. The class was awarded two small pennants in Scroll and Toka contests. These pennants were proudly attached to the large class pennant. I he social functions of the Sophomores, though not numerous were interesting in their nature. The most important event of the year was the party given the Freshmen, which for the sake of variety, took the form of a county fair. I he girls of the class enjoyed several hikes later in the season. Soon after the first snow a large 25” was seen upon old Mt Baldy. Several attempts were made by the other classes to destroy it but it remained until the snow melted. In 1923 the class took up the roll as Juniors and they proved themselves well worthy of the name. For their class officers the following were elected: Syd Young, president; Marie Harbeck, vice-president: Ruth Newman, secretary; Virginia Rengstortf, treasurer: and Norma Trumbly, representative to Student Body Council. Mr. Schenk was again selected as class advisor. I he class assumed all the responsibilities of Juniors and conducted both the Frosh initiation and other events for which only a Junior can qualify. I his year the class won the inter-class baseball championship and also the track meet. The Juniors also were awarded first place in the Stunt Nile contests. 1 he larger part of the football team was composed of Juniors, and the class had three representatives in girls basketball. It was with great pride that the old class of '25 entered school for their last year. They were not only proud to be Seniors but they were the first class to graduate from the wonderful new High School. Laverne Jess was elected president; Lew Wyrick, vice-president; Marie Harbeck, secretary; Frank Day, treasurer; and Catherine Carrell, representative to Student Body Council. In the Senior year they never slackened their pace. T he class of twenty-five won the Scroll and I oka pennants, and Stunt Nite, as well as both girls’ and boys’ inter-class basketball games. Dorothy Zimmerman, their representative, won the beauty contest. The talent of the class is not confined to these things for Martha Wright won the Lincoln Essay medal. Now, as their Senior year draws to a close they feel they have not only gained by their high school years but have given something, and taken part in the activities to such an extent that they will not soon be forgotten.
