20 THE COMMENT THE CLASS HISTORY Every year in school there are a few phases which are used quite extensively. Une of those this year is 'Khlake it short and snappy. I shall follow this rule while giving the class history. There were nearly 100 of us who started school as Freshmen. At that time we looked at the four years in High School as something very hard, yet we had a determination to master the many difficulties. As the United States was at war with Germany, everyone was asked to save. We sacrificed our social gatherings. All of our energy was put upon our studies. For the first three years the only social gath- ering, as a class, was at the Country Club. VVe, as Juniors did much hard work to make the Junior-Senior a success. While Juniors we elected the following ofhcersz Albert C-lewe, President. Fame Bell, Vice-President. lWary Cochrane, Secretary.

VVC were looked up to as we looked upon the Seniors when we were lower classmen. VVe elected the following 0Hicers of our class: Raymond Kirchner, President. Mary Cochrane, Vice-President. Evelyn Harter, Secretary. Carroll Nelson, Treasurer. The first party we had as Seniors was September 30, 1920, at Frank Bertsch's place, on the Main Street road. Miss Handy, bliss Casey, Miss Solomon and Miss Roberts were our guests. lVIiss Casey sur- prised us when she told the fortunes of a few of us. Our next social event was at Katherine Dimond's house, on Uctober 28, 1920. Games were played, dancing was indulged in, and refresh- ments were served. The witty remarks of lylr. Dillbeck were the cause of much laughter. Everyone had a good time. On December 17, the juniors and the Seniors had a party at the Masonic building. A few of the teachers were invited and they
