('lass History The (’lass of nineteen hundred and sixteen entered the Missoula County High School eighty strong, MV elected as our first president. f Dutch1' Lan- sing. This showed good judgment on our part for he has proven himself to be our greatest athlete and one of our very able students. Tim feature of our Freshmen initiation was a girls' football team coached by John McGougb In the Freshmen declamation contest of that year Margaret Wilkes won first pin-c. Although we did not win very many honors in athletics, declamation or other activities, yet snjmo members of our class were n the football and tr;u-k squads, and we were preparing for greater deeds to come. Altogether our first year was one of peace and happiness. The following year Scott Murphy was our president Murphy was dur- ing life sojourn in our high school, one of our most active members. He made a place on the school debate team besides being one of our shining lights in track. The only social affair worth mentioning this year was a sleigh ride. Unfor- tunately for us the Seniors also planned a sleigliride for the same night.. They ran awav with our sleigh so we had to have a party in the gvmmLsium until ■ i they returned. Then our own sleighing party proceeded as we had planned During lliis year we in turn helped to make life miserable for the Freshmen. When we were juniors we won much honor and glory One member of our class. Lansing, was on the basketball team, and several on the football team, and Ralph Shield won fourteen points iasi year fur Missoula in the Interseho- lastic Track Meet. We gave two very successful dramatic productions which enabled us to give a very delightful banquet and “pronLX The banquet was served at the Palace Hotel Only members of the -Junior and firuior classes and of the Faculty were present, hut to the danre after the banquet, in the Elks' Temple the Alumni for two years back were invited. Scott Murphy was again president in our Junior year. When at last we became Seniors, we started the year right by voting to have an Annual. Xo Senior class since nineteen hundred and thirteen had pub- lished one. We did something else worthy of notice, by se Luting Osden Drey or as the class president. Tie is so full of ilpep“ and enthusiasm that he is the very best person that wc could possibly have chosen U lead us through our la st year of high school life. Thu other class officers are Florence Dixon, vice president; Tom Swearingen, treasurer; Oscar Nelson, secretary. The Senior boys have taken a very active part in athletics this year. “Dutch’1 Lansing being captain of both the football and basketball teams, and Ralph Sticht the track captain Roger Trafford, Josephine Shccdy and Margaret Wickes won places in tluh declamation contests. The Senior play produced this year was one of the best that lias ever been played in this high school. The Girls' Literary Club, newly organized this year, has for its officers three Senior girls, and the girls of this class have taken a far more active part in it than those of any other class. The Senior girls have engineered three very suc- cessful parties so far this year; one, in honor f the Senior boys: the last, in honor of Miss Simpson, our faculty bride-to-be. The Senior boys reciprocated with a party for their feminine classmates, The presidency of the Students1 Association is held by a member of the Semi or class. We have been more active all the year than any of the other classes. And now we are almost through with all of our labors, and our pleasures here, for surely our life in high school has not been composed of hardships alone, We began our career in this institution of learning with eighty members, but. although some additions have been made from other schools, we have been re- duced to fifty-five. Thus we can say that the words of the Good Book are true: uMany are called, but few are chosen M —L. M., '16.
