f-Class of 1920'- Once upon a time, way back in 1916 the usual bunch of scared, green little Freshmen entered G. H. S.-you would not recognize them now as the eminent and all-important class of '20, In that, its freshman year, the class was duly represented in the Glee Clubs, Orchestra and Declam, and a large per cent of the Girls' Athletic Association were Freshmen. An active interest was also taken in Y. M. and Y. W. The next year the members of this class came back to school with a much better opinion of themselves and even presumed to play tricks on the F1'eshmen. One of the class, John Talbott, made the de- bate team. The English IV classes under the able supervision of Miss Holloway put on a farce which although not presented before the As- sembly, was given for several other audiences and greatly enjoyed by all those who heard it. The members of the class musically inclined were allowed to give vent to their feelings in orchestra and glee clubs. The Junior year of the class of '20 was an important one in its career. It was then that Louise Moyle won first in the Final Declama- tory Contest and Paul Porter was added to the debate team. The class was organized and several social fun.ctions put on including the banquet for the class of '19. They improved in athletics as well as in social vir- tues, several members getting on the football team. And now we come to the last and most impressive scene of all when the class enters school in the fall of 1919. All its members are now full-fledged, dignified Seniors to be looked 'up to with awe and res- pect by the underclassmen. The class of '20 began to shine in athletics, seven of the football heroes and four of the basketball men belonging to it. In the inter-class series' the Seniors came out second in both track and basketball. Six of seven debate men are Seniors and Seniors repre- sented the school in all the Iowa Nine Contests. All the social activit- ies of this class have been exceptionally good. The Annual Board Farce was a great success financially as well as theatrically. A good cast of characters for the class play, Green Stockings, insures a success in that too. A good many numerals have been earned for scholarship, decla- mation and athletics. The class of '20 leave Grinnell High School with an enviable record, a goal for succeeding classes to strive for. . -E. M. H. Page Eighteen
