HURON TIGER Senior Class HistorW On September 15th in the year of 19m, an event at such great importance took place. an event which so affected hise Lory, that it must be recorded on these pages. At that time the class at '23 entered the awe-inspirmg portals of this great institution. After eight ltng years we had at last at tained the dignity Of Freshmen in Huron High School, al- though we must admit We were not allowed to feel that dib- nity long. A few upnei' ciassmcn, evidently believing in the old adage that old must be tried by tire. and wishing to prove our worth. ndulged in thitt perilous. hut delightful pas- time known as hazing with the usual result, that a slight ill feeling arose between us. This reeling of antagonism was rather added to than diminished when they further humilie aterl us by sweeping down upon us and carrying off our eats, while we were inhueehuy enjoying a class party. These starved superiors were, however, made to feel a little less superior by a sharp reprimand mm the facuity, and never molested us ngLli . As soon as our class Was organized we ehcse Fred Rich- artls president, Rose Weir vice president. Mary Davis secre- Iary, Jeannette Crawford treasurer, and Miss Jessie McKay sponsor. besides Florence Feenan aml Howard chtteh for members of the Student Culincil. These ufiicers proved to he very capahie aha euhieti us sateiy through -:ur nest year. Some of our members showed their athletic ambitions and ability as members at the Boy Scout Basket Ball Team. Our ers plavell their nmmhtic worth in the productions Silas Mamet ; the Miser 0f Ravaioe, in which Our illustrious pres- ident scored a triumph in the leading role, and Unit t the Toy Shop, LI musical extravaganza With Jeannette . aw- ford. our worthy treasurer, in the, leading part. In this car, Miss Fitzgerald founded the W.

We huti been convened to the doctrine oi 'tDo unto uthets he has heon dune unto you. At. our first meeting we rc-ulevted Fred Richards president of our t use, selected Gladys shim tor vice-president and Jane r' e ror secretary anti treasurer.

Our class was nDt organized until about six weeks after the upehihg or the school year, but atter once organizing we were not ling in getting under wily, We elected a new mem- her or our class. Robert shell, as president, Stacey Puoie be- came vice-president. and Claire Markell took the position of secretary and treasurer. As mes Jessie McKay had guided n5 so safely through the trials and tribulations of Our freshman year we IIOW elected her sister, Miss Catherine VMAKIIY. :Is spontscr f:r ollr Junior year, w ich pmvell to he one of the wisest decisions we had ever made. We started out bravely on our third year by giving a Junior Danee, which we followed up With othttr harmless gaieties. such as Junior Day. We feel that it is best. to pass lightly over this momentuus oceasio It is wutficient, perhaps, to say that we displayed cur illeas of desirable decorations for the exterior of this hi'lh school building, ilml that we never gave up our colors without struggle. A11 in all it proved t: he a rather exciting day for most of us. In athletics many of unr boys took prominent parts, one 0' them, Claire Groves, being captain of both the Ecotball and basketball teams. 21an ill! at them making a creditable record. The next great event in our Junior year Was the Presen- tation of that must papillar cnmcdy, t'Clarencu. which firm- ly convinced us that the legitimate Stage would be decided- ly the gainer it some members of the cast further developed their histrionic ability. And we must net forget to mention the uperetta, Miss Cherry Blossom, which proved to be ' other' triumph for certain of our classmates who had leading parts. Indeed the title role was entrusted to Florence Feenan, a Junior. In May, the Junior issue of the Tiger camt- uut, and on May 13th the most imrr tam event of the year took place, the Junior-Senim' Banquet, Xve Were the hrst ClilSS to hold this banquet in the new Marvin Hilghitt Hotel :mtl remem- bering the Tavorhhle cnmmenls nussed upon it wt- all felt amply repaid for any work we had IiOnC tuwartl making the banquet a success.
