JUNIOR HISTORY OUR CAREER as members of the H. C. H. S. Student Body com- menced September 7, 1921, when we braved the amused glances v and superior arts of the upper classmen and silently did the “hesitation step” up the walk and into the building. To the students and faculty we probably looked green, but we ourselves felt greener, and undoubtedly we acted like the greenest bunch of Freshies that ever tottered on the brink of “Initiation.” After four weeks of grace we were taken in hand and initiated. Very little need be said about this affair because no matter how painful it is to recall the incident, you have all been there once and our initiation was much like yours. It consisted chiefly in furnishing an evening’s fun for the Sophs, Juniors, and Seniors, and in making us feel most ridiculous and unnecessary. However, during the school year we were able to convince all that we were not entirely worthless. The Fresh- man Glee given in the form of a Hard Times Dance was proof of what we could do. This affair was listed with the successful social events of the school year ’21-’22. Our Sophomore year commenced with all of our class back with the exception of two, and three new pupils (Margie Smith, Hazel Whit- aker, and Lyle Kramer) became members of our class. Everyone put forth Jiis best effort to make this year a good one. Many took active parts in athletics and one Soph was given a place on the Winnada Staff. We went over the top in the Red Gross campaign with a silver cup to our credit and a dance in honor of our good work. The out- come of the Sophomore Hop proved that we had not lost our reputa- tion as good entertainers. This, our-Junior year, has far surpassed our two preceding years in Hi. Members of our class have been prominent in basket-ball. These are:- Ida Lorentz, Lona Abel, Myrle Trousdale, Bertis Goldsworthy, Fred Holloway, Robert Kennedy, and Frank Gartiez. During the basketball season our class won three banners for the sale of the most basketball tickets. At the beginning of our Junior year two new members (Junior Leidy a nd Emma Duarte) entered our class, and during the year three Freshmen (Myrle Trousdale, Mabel Connor and Mary Quilici) left the Freshman class to become Juniors in order that they might complete their course in three years, and Segunda Laucerica and Geraldine Har- vey left the Junior class to become Seniors for the same reason. Now we, the class of ’25, are looking forward to the next school term, our Senior year. We hope to do as much or more than we have yet accomplished that we might leave to H. C. H. S. a record of which such a school is worthy. President .......................

SOPHOMORE HISTORY SPOTS OF GREEN appeared twice on the horizon, once in the fall of 1922 and again in January, 1923. Was it St. Patrick’s Day? No, for this was not March 17. On nearing H. C. H. S. they developed to be small groups of poor Freshies entering the school to be laughed and sneered at, as the joke for the coming year. But this did not last long, for we soon overlooked the mockery of the upper classmen, and began to feel at home. About a week after entering, each group was initiated and after this elected officers. On the evening of March 17 we gave a very successful dance. But now at last the green age is over, and we are dignified Sopho- mores. Upon returning in the fall we were very sorry to discover that two of oar classmates, Carol Savage and Edith Hibbard, had moved away. Our number was increased for a short time by Teddie Webb, and we are very glad to have Ralph Adamson back with us after a short absence. It did not seem to fall to our lot to have many in athletics this year, but we were represented by one who was one of the best players on the girls’ team. She received honorable mention at the tournament and also was elected secretary of the Block W. Her name is Frances Otis, but to us she is more commonly known as “Oats.” Our reputation for entertaining, so well established last year, was in no way diminished on December 6th when we gave our second dance. It was quite original, consisting of a canopy of blue with silver stars of all sizes, silver and blue being our class colors. There was also entertain- ment, which included a dance by Susie Abel and Vera Leonard, and a song and dance by Bernice Rossier and Estelle Petrinovich. Drinks (rather punch) were served during the entire evening. We have been assisted throughout the year by Miss Gertrude Webb, our sponsor, to whom we wish to show our appreciation. As guileless Freshmen we were happy in our awkward innocence. We are now enjoying our Sophomore year, but we are eager to begin next fall, the last half of our High School course.
