CLASS HISTORY We, the Senior class of l923 are about to say farewell to the old l. U. H. S. For four years we have been striving toward one goal. For four years we have been looking forward to the time when we should leave high school life behind us. The time is drawing near, the goal is almost won, but yet we tarry for just a moment to look back over what now seems four very short years of happy high school life. ln l9l9 we entered the l. U. H. S. sixteen strong, where, for the first time, we learned what high school life really is. To refresh the memories of those who are interested in us, let us consider the names of the Freshman class: Allen Martin, Hart Stewart, Byron Prouty, Karl joses, Louis Gebharclt, Matilda Amick, Doris Amick, Emily Fairbank, Esther Prouty, Eva Chapman, Georgia Chouleur, Everett Wheeler, William Leach, lrene Peat and Earl Cheek. After our initiation on the second Friday, High School Life commenced. ln our Sophomore year, Poppy Cheney joined our ranks but Eva Chap- man, Earl Cheek and William Leach went to San Francisco. During this year our members began to get into athletics and several were on the base- ball and basket ball teams. After an eventful year full of parties and good times we entered upon our junior year when we became upper class men and felt our responsibilities greatly. Velora Carpenter joined the class this year. Most of the junior class were in the Senior play because of the smallness of the Senior class. At last we became Seniors and this was an eventful year for us indeed. We have had a successful football team and also a very successful basket ball team, having lost only one game during the season. Also we have endeav- ored to make our 1923 Annual a success. We have also been active in dramatics having given besides our Senior Play an Operetta. We hope to give our own entertainment for Commencement and we will leave to the school a class song for which we ourselves are responsible. KARL JOSES Page Seven
