CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1925 eleven of the seniors grad- uating from high school this year began their jour- ney through Joy School. During the next seven years Pauline Walgren and Robert Gates were absent from the group, but joined again before Eighth Grade Graduation. W ' -August 2l,flf33! A group of verdant freshmen assemtici in rwom five to begin a nine months' siege with Ancient History, English, Algebra, .and Physiology. However, after completing a portion of the last two years in the standing army, we didn't feel so much like raw recruits as some of the upper class-men seemed to think us. Gordon McNielly was chosen president, and Betty Marie Kiddoo, sec- retary treasurer. Mr. Hultgren did much to make our two parties successful: one was in December at the hall and the other in Burns's yard in the spring. While we were pursuing this part of our education Maurice Johnson, Harold Swanson, Clyde Anderson, and Lytle Welch saw fields more 'attrac- tive than ours and departed from the group. We re- gretted hafing Gordon McNiel1y move from this dis- trict. When, after a three months' vacation, we again met, our path divided, the majority preferring the land of biology and those remaining visiting an- cient Rome. Mr. Ingalsbe, this year and the two remaining, very competently guided us. Earl Mc Daniel presided at the class meetings with Robert Gates as vice president. Betty Marie Kiddoo was re-eloctcd secretary-treasurer. There were two parties, one at McKown's and the other at the skat- ing rink with the freshmen. This year Bob Gates made the team in baseball, Russell Crawford, Bob Gatos, and Wayne Haas in basket-ball, and Russell in track. Earl McDaniel and Pauline Walgren placed in the county literary contest. Marna Jayne Holmes got second in the county music contest: During the year we were sorry to have John Burns move to Galesburg and Glenn Epperly move to Rock Island. Leland Nelson who joined our class last year also left. Dorothy Bailey went to Woodhull.

When we started to school as juniors, we had a very interesting year before us. After having elected Pauline Walgren president, Marne Jayne Holmes vice-president, and Betty Marie Kiddoo sec- retary-treasurer, we were ready to proceed. First we enjoyed helping the seniors initiate the freshmen. Next an invitational progressive bunco party was held at the hall. High prizes went to Martha May Seiver and Eddie Munson and consola- tion prizes to Earl McDaniel and Verla Holmes. In the fall Ethel Dewhirst had her credits transfer- red to the Neponset high school and is still there Harold Harroun started in Joy after two years in the Aledo high sehooll Early in the fall the seniors decided they wanted a make-up box and new stage equipment for their play. They persuaded us to help them by pay- ing half after the track meet. It was a great im- provement for the stage, but it made a large dent in our treasury. In the latter part of our sophomore year Mr. Olson from the Josten Company came to our class and convinced us that we should select our class rings and pay a dollar on them so that they would come earlier in the following year. By October 7 everyone ordering a ring had turned his money in and all had received their rings. During the basket-ball season this class sold candy at the home games. Russell Crawford repre- sented our class on the team this year. In March some of the girls in our class were good enough vocalists to get to go to the state contest with Miss Dewhirst and help win first place. Earl McDaniel placed third in the oratori- cal contest in Aledo, and Marna Jayne Holmes won second plice inbthe county piano contest. After the many, various Nvacationsn we finally get together long enough to pick out a play. Prac- tice was delayed because we decided NHeart Trouble didn't have enough action, so we had to wait for information concerning nTiger Housean We added much to the stage faithfully, and the play was a big success. ' Before the play was off our hands we were work ing for the Junior-Senior Banquet. The nautical idea was carried out with a ship as centerpiece and programs in the shape of sail boats. For each senior we had a corsage of a gladiola and sweet- peas, and then pictures were taken to keep as a memory of the pleasant evening. Dancing and card playing followed the banquet.
