of the (Mass nf CLuu'nta-Sum In September of the year 1918, eighty-three brave, bold youngsters, suffering all the agony of self-conscious high school beginners entered upon a course of untoui gioiy. We were called Freshmen and bore the name well, for never haci a greener class entered. We took to high school life as a duckling takes to water, and soon we began to wax strong under the kindly reign of our teachers. Realizing the necessity of a well organized class, and having secured permission from our superintendent, Mr. W. C. Robb, to hold our first meeting, we gathered one evening in the commercial study hall and elected Peter Troy, president, and made plans for a Fresh-men-Sophomore party. The party was a grand success and at the dance which followed, many of us who were as yet unskilled in the noble art, amused ourselves by treading on the feet of the teachers and girls who were brave enough to attempt to teach us how. Soon after, another party followed which was even more successful than the first. The Freshman class won the first place in the interclass basketball tournament, and second place in the track meet. Although none of our boys were on the varsity football team, they played in several scrimmages against the regulars. Our Sophomore year proved fairly uneventful, for after we had given the Freshmen their proper initiation under the showers, and had entertained the Juniors at a scrumptuous party, we settled down to hard work. Quite a number of students were missing from outranks, among them Mae Norberg, one of our most promising students, and Ernest Fegan, who had proved himself a coming star in football and basketball. It was in a track meet held at Lombard College in the spring of this year that Melvin Warnock received a medal when he won the hundred yard dash in an interscholastic contest. Peter Troy was again elected our President. Through his efforts and those of our other class leaders, we thus passed safely on through our second year. We started our Junior year under a new superintendent. Mr. Monroe Melton, a “Hoosier Schoolmaster” of no little executive ability. Under his able supervision we continued our efforts to win a name TWENTY-FOUR
