The shocking de- cadence of the morals of the younger genera- tion is .indeed a source of great concern to those who contemplate it from a sane and' thoughtful view point with due consideration for the future welfare of our nation.

Grandmother: Xliell we may look dumb to you hut we were mighty proud of ourselves. There were about -ltltl of us, and we were an enthusiastic crowd. Une of our members in writing the tirst Freshmen notes for the I -that was our school paper-was so enthused that he indulged in a flight of fancy, and said that the Freshmen had more ofncers in the R. O. T, C. than any other class. I remember our girls lost in the hasehall tou1'nament that year, hut we were all terribly proud of the way they played. Granddaughter: tilnly one basehall tourna- ment in a year? XYhy, we have one every week until the basket hall season begins, And didn't all of you play every day like we do? Grandmother: No, not at 'that time, Wflhen I was in high school girls' athletics were com- paratively new, and not nearly all the girls participated, but when I was a Freshman we organized a Girls' Athletic Association which had that in view. A great many of our Fresh- men girls joined and were very lively meni- Page Tw euty -two Class History 1923 As Told In 1965 b T C rs. he association was a great success. They hoosted all kinds of athletics and gave clever parties, One year we had a Green- wich Yillage Follies and another a lack and -Iill party, and we all dressed in littleigingham aprons, Our girls were very enthusiastic about basket-ball, and in our -Iunior vear we won the class tournament. Xthen we were ,luniors we had soccer too, Ite played Lock- port, which was a small town then and not a we won, suburb, as now. As I recall Granddaughter: nl -Board of Control-why this hunch doesn't look like anything. Grandmother: That was managed the policy of the I remember in our ,lnnior year we had af our l'C'Itl'CiE-1'lt21- tives: .loc Barr, Flizahctl Lawyer, and Billy Hlock.

Grantlniotlier: Xlvell, it! lvftztrtl' out of a Block than out of a hlock it could control the group that I suppose you make a board easier to make a lteitfl. Bill was our iiI'5-I l't'Ill'L'5E'11t2itlYC ill- lttlllclics too, He was the only one ot our fellows that made the football team in our Freshman year. It used to eznharrass us girls dreadfully to wgttqh him play because he always had a hole in his sock. There was a big athletic boom during our four years. We 23ers always thought we had A lot to do with it. There were always more of us out to the games than from any other class and our fellows made a good showing in every sport. In our Sophomore year nine of our fellows made the foothall team and two new coaches came onto the scene, and though we didn't have much to do with get- ting them there we always took considerable credit to ourselves for being therc at the same time they were, because they certainly helped to wake us up. Granddaughter: This must he one of your illustrious teams. Good heavens, what did they put on their hair?-it must have been mucilage to get it stuck down so tight. Don't they look sweet! Did they take time out in a foothall game to comb it down slick and when they played basket-ball did they have to wear hairnets? Grandmother: tilh, patent leather uphols- tery was the style, but our team had some- thing hesides their hair to think about when they were playing. '21, that was otir Junior year. Here are Liess, Ashley, Alherg, and De-larld and I-Iill, and Cardwell, aluschott and Maxwell. They were all Juniors, and they were a hard lighting bunch. Granddaughter: tTurns pagel IYas this your hasket-ball team that same year? I guess they aren't so bad looking even if they did spend their spare cash on mucilage? tl-Iands to grandmothenl Grandmother: I should say not. More than one feminine heart did gymnastics in space when they grabbed the title from Gard- ner in the tournament that year. tTurns the pagel And this was our flashy baseball team of that year: Granddaughter: Oh, isn't he a cute little fellow?
