8 dji' fHintir '(Tlie Senior Class 191 9 CLASS OFFICERS President Lloyd Chandler Vice-president Florence Thompson See’y-Treasurer Ardis Palmer (Class jfttsturu cr» 1919 In the fall of 1915 our class of about forty-six entered L. H. S. Miss Howard, Room 12, was our class advisor and remained so during the first three years. At mid-year Harvey Carter, Lloyd Chandler, Theodore George and Zilpha Allen joined us. During our Freshman year Mr. Henline taught us the art of solving simultaneous linear equations, and Miss Koch tried to teach the profes- sion of pronouncing the conglomerated names of Greek heroes. And I imagine that not one of us will ever forget Miss Gunderson’s repeated attempts to make orators of us by having each stand up before a group of critical listeners and give an “original” theme. Our Sophomore year found us with about forty-eight members, a great many leaving us, but more new ones coming in. This was the year that the famous Company M was in town and that date will ever be held memorable to the girls of our class. Thirty-nine members made up our Junior Class. We gave a banquet for the Seniors this year which proved a great success, although some lower classmen did try to spoil it by distributing around in the gym a sub- stance of very disagreeable odor. It was this night that we presented to the Seniors their mascot, which we had captured a short time before. We also helped in Mike Carroll’s Pi U Pi An Show, given in the gym. In our Senior year our class of thirty-five moved to Room 10 with Miss Williamson as our advisor. During our last two years, we lost a great many of our number. Some enlisted, others stopped school, and still others left town. In spite of this fact a great many from other places came in. From Alicel we had Ruth Johnson, Pansy Van Housen, Ruth Schafer, Florence Thompson and Ray Ledbetter. Jeanne Tuttle from Im- bler, Lee El Us from Joseph, and Irene Poston from Kansas, are also members of our class. The publication of a record breaking Mimir and the great success of the Senior Play, we leave as precedents for the success of the following classes. Zilpha Allen, '19
