We take ibis opportunity to record a few events that have taken place during these years and to mention a few facts about our classmates who have fallen by the wayside. On September 8, 11)21. twenty-four members enrolled as Freshmen started their high school career at II. T. II. S. Of this number only fourteen have struggled bravely on to the end. Like all other Freshmen classes we were no doubt considered a little green and ignorant when spoken of by upper classmen, but nevertheless we made a brilliant start in this new phase of school life. During this, our first year, Frances Myers served as president and Ida Youngman as secretary and treasurer. Many of our number took part in the operetta, “Princess ('rysanthemum,” which was given by the school early in the spring of ’22.

on account of illness. Lawrence Jones, one of our jolliest members, full of life and fun, was taken suddenly ill and went on to that school where he no longer needs our poor protection, but where ( lirist Himself rules. Our class suffered a great loss from this death of a faithful friend. Mary Alice Thorne preferred a quiet home life with her parents in Tennessee Valley and this ended her high school career. Elmer Thompson finished his work at Paris, Illinois. Mabel Ingram became the wife of Mr. B. II. Price and they are now residing at Cayuga, Indiana. As Sophomores we entered with seventeen in number. We were greatly disappointed when we returned and found two more missing. They were Marie Slaughter and James Wasson. Marie entered the Paris high school and James'continued his work at hrisman, 111. However, we had one new member, Elsworth Montgomery, from Robinson, Illinois. We gave several class parties during our Sophomore year and we began to consider ourselves a necessary part of old II. T. II. S. All of our class remained until the close of the term. At this time Florence Botner, Ida Youngman and Elbert Gosnell left their Alma Mater to take their places in the world. Ida Youngman is now married and with her husband, Mr. Claude Silkwood, resides in St. Bernice. Florence Botner is now Mrs. Elmer Lowery, also of St. Bernice. Elbert Gosnell is engaged in the dairy business. Juniors! We had almost reached the last step on the High School Ladder.” and were still striving upward. Luckily, we had two new members, Naomi Seebren. of East St. Louis and Ruth Arrasmith from Dana, Indiana. Naomi remained with us only a short time and as many others had done, set sail on the sea of matrimony with her husband Mr. Lester Malonv. This year new officers were elected. Frances Myers was again chosen president; Carl Skidmore, vice-president; Bernice Miller, secretary, and Harold Mack, treasurer. Ruth Arrasmith served on the annual staff as artist and Ktliyle Price ns the Class Editor. One of the chief features of this year was the Junior-Senior Reception. For this occasion the Assembly Room was beautifully decorated in artifieial flowers and crepe paper, while the banquet room was decorated in our school colors, old roso and white. This affair is one that will long be remembered by all who were present. We returned in the fall of ‘24 to spend our last year at II. T. II. S. Three more of our number were missing. Ruth Arrasmith became a senior at Cayuga. Indiana, and Bernice Roberts was unable to return on account of illness. Rachel Campbell dropped out and is residing with her parents in Jonestown. Ruby (files from Hillsdale, Indiana, joined us the second semester and now. with fourteen in number we arc closing our High School career, and are looking forward to Commencement with both joy and feelings of sadness. We realize that we cannot go back and live over ;i,gain the happv da vs in our dear Alma Mater. So here’s lo our colors, the Blue and the Gold. May they ever wave high, and never grow old; May we always be faithful, loyal and true. And stand by each other and B. II. S. too.
