CLASS OF '27 In the early part of September, 1923, the Class of '27 was organs ized, and officers were elected. The officers that were elected were: Ellis Clark, President, Kenneth Seigrist, Vice President, Grant Kelly, Secretary and Treasurer, and Gordon Vonder Werth, Class Reporter. There were twenty-two members in all, there being fif- teen from Oregon, six from Washington and one from Montana. They were: Ellis Clark, Kenneth Seigrist, Frederick Brodeck, james Bratlie, Gardner Bushnell, Millard Bessly, Chester Couchman, Em- met Doak, Samuel Felker, Alter Holsman, Milton, Miles, John Mar- den, Laurence Moody, Natt McDougal, Harry Mumm, Donald Powell, Richard Stevens, Abraham Wakin, Robert Wheeless, joel Ware, Gordon vonder Werth, and Grant Kelly. The Class got a bright and early start and made excellent grades in its academic work throughout the year. At the end of the year, the heaclmaster's computation showed the grades of the majority of the Freshman to be very good and the spelling championship went to a member of thegclass as well as the Scholarship Medal awarded by the Alumni Association. Although not very much was done toward athletic and social activities in the first term with the exception of basketball, in the second term of the year. The Class ,was the first class to hold a Class Dance and in the latter part of the term, Bob Wheeless, a popular freshman, made his letter in baseball. Bob and the class are certainly proud of the fact that he was the only Freshman mem- ber of the HH club, the athletic society of the Academy. The Class Prom, of which we have spoken, was held on the twenty second of March, in conjunction with the Class of '26,in the Acad- emy Armoryj The dance proved to be a brilliant one and was a. huge success. The Class of '27 got together again in September, 1924 and elec- ted officers as they had done in the previous year. The officers for this year were, Kendrick Seigrist, Presidentg Fred Brodeck, Vice: Presidentg Russel Blakely, canteen representative. There were several new members who were: Willard Breakey, Russel Blakely, Wilbur Selby, Basil Brown, Henry Grimes, Jack. Hibbard, and George Dowling. The work done by the Class has been very good, and several individuals of the group have been leading the other classes with their high grades. The first thing that the Class did toward athletics was to organize a basketball team. A good team was turned out, and although the games were quite close, the seniors and the juniors finally super- ceded them. The class held a dance in connection with the Freshmen on April 25, 1925. The committees were elected jointly from both classes. The dance itself was a success. The marked attraction was the decoration. We hope to make our junior Prom of next year as good an entertainment as our class dance this year.

FRESHMEN CLASS The Freshman class started it's first year of high school with very good intentions which have been carried out during the Whole year. Our class was organized early in the year. The following officers were elected to presideg Clifton Coe, President, Rowland Le Doux, vice president, Fred Biehn, secretary and treasurerg George Nunn, athletic manager, and Fletcher Wood, Sgt.-at-arms. Our class activities have been excellent considering the size of the class. To begin with We have had very high scholastic standings. Next come our athletics. In our first attempt at variety teams we showed up well, Fletcher Wood making his letter at football, Clifton Coe making his at basketball. The freshmen basketball team, al- though they fought hard finished the season at the bottom. We do not feel downhearted in the least, for all preceding freshmen classes have met with the same fate. ' We held our- annual .class dance this year in conjunction with the sophomore class. Although it was the largest class dance ever held it proved to be a success. The hall was decorated with the school colors, in truly professional style and the refreshments were little short of perfect. X Few of us aspired very high in the military department this year but next year we expect to have many corporals in our midst. This year the Senior class offered a medal to the freshman having the highest total score in gallery practice. Harry Stinson, and George Kellar were tied for it. In an additional match to shoot off the tie, Harry Stinson lost. The class is indeed proud of the record these cadets have set. We sincerely hope that following classes will live up to these standards. Although our history so far has been short we feel that in the years that follow we have a history that will make up for the brevity of this one.
