Class History Twelve members of our class entered the High School in January, 1916, the others in September, 1917, but, we, of the former members, can never forget the good times we had during that first half year. The most impressive entertainment, although it was not very entertaining to us, was our initiation. After this painful event, however, we felt free to enjoy ourselves at the most delightful parties which followed. Of course, the Seniors, believing us to be “green,” (which we were not) ignored us disdainfully, especially upon the entrance of fellow members, the Freshmen B’s in September, 1917. Among our new classmates were Alice Paine, Dorothea Crisman, Frieda Stark and Grace Nelson, who stayed faithfully to the end. The first event of importance to us, was the Hard Times Party. All of the High School students pronounced it a great success and appreciated the Freshmen to a degree almost worthy of us. During the latter part of the year we plunged cheerfully in our work by hunting flowers, reading English books and solving for “x.” Many of us took part in a Latin play, in which Harry “starred” as the important Perseus. We also showed our true worth when we entertained at assembly. This proved to be a happy year for us Sophomores and we looked forward to a more glorious and happy Junior year. We started our new year right by electing Harry, president; Florence, vice-president; Lois, secretary, and Franklin, treasurer, and by planning for our reception. The year proved to be eventful and pleasing to us because our classmates took part in many affairs. Harry was the captain of the Basket Ball team and also a member of the Glee Club to which Selma, Grace and Florence belonged also. The first half of the year passed quickly by with continuous High School dances, basket ball games and Glee Club entertainments to cheer us up. At the beginning of the new semester Dorothea, Florence, Grace, Mildred and Selma began Shorthand and Typewriting. They reported many humorous incidents, which we all would have enjoyed witnessing. We found our studies very hard this year, but Frieda was as loyal as ever in English class. Martin broke the monotony by taking a real “spill” which was embarrassing to him, but seemed very laughable to all others present except Miss Copeland. Our reception was well planned with the aid of Miss Sexton and Miss Griffith, but we had a great catastro- phe in that our decorations caught fire and were all practically ruined. However, this did not mar the happiness of the evening because we postponed the banquet until after the dance. In spite of our misfortune the affair was a decided success, for the Seniors and Faculty had patience and cheerful dispositions.
