O Ini pr n L 6 History of the Class of 1922 Four years ago in September we, the now dignified Seniors of the Class of 1922 entered Greentown High School. We were eighteen in number. It was not long until we were officially recognized as the “Optomistic Freshmen.” We were sometimes extremely optomistic, which disgusted our Abell faculty very much. Especially optomistic were two blond, curly haired boys whom we don ot need to designate. We can prove this by our report cards which show deportment grades of 60, 65 and 70. At the end of the first semester our school building burned and we finished the year in the I. O. O. F. building. A new school building was not yet erected for us in our Sophomore year. Because of this several of our mem¬ bers left us to go to other schools and others quit. But eight of us had the pluck and courage to struggle onward. This year three of our number we e honored by a part in the high school play and one landed a place cn the basket ball squad. Our Junior year found us still with our old number, eight, and also with a brand new up-to-date building. During this year we adopted the motto, “Small but Mighty” or “Parvus Magnus.” We succeeded in living up to our slogan although one teacher suggested adding, “Punk” to the end of it. We might have done this had not our English teacher taught us never to use slang and never to use “mighty” as an ad verb. We started the cus¬ tom of having the Junior-Senior Reception in the school building, and gave one of the best and most elaborate receptions ever given by a Junior Class in G. H. S. We financed this affair by giving a box supper from which we made over one hundred dollars. While we were Juniors, Miss Marguerite Ault left us and went to Kokomo. Her vacancy was filled by Leslie Graham. Now we are in our Senior year. The number of members in our class has been increased to ten by the addition of two new members, Velma Quick and Willis Zirkle. We are both sad and glad. Sad because we shall never again be members of Greentown High School and glad because we are about to complete a high school course successfully. We are proud of the fact that we are about to carry a sheepskin from the portals of G. H. S. Three of our members, George Pool, Dorothy Melton and Thelma Scherer have never attended any school but Greentown. Seven of us have been schoolmates throughout our high school career. They are George Pool Olive Matchette, Ronald Freeman, Thelma Scherer. Lee Shoemaker, Dorothy Melton and Edith Kirkendall. Our class has always been rich in talented people. It now contains the pupil making the highest grade in school, the captain of the basket ball team, the yell leader, the official scorer, a member of the Girls’ basket ball team, first violinist in the orchestra, and several star track men. It now looks as if we were going to be a class of teachers because several of us intend to take training along that line during the next year. Px us Class Cr. H S. 1 2 2 W a n, u± Page fourteen
