We managed to elect Ray Lynch, president. We had a “swell” picnic, way up in the mountains at '‘Dutch” Springs. Next was a rally for football. ’Nuff said about that. Our class had one man on the football team, Ray Lynch. In athletics, we beat all but the Seniors in basketball and track, and placed several men on both school teams. At the end of the year, most of us passed. Vacation arrived. On September 14, the class came together again. We had attained superior knowledge of the world. The average growth during the ‘vacation was about three inches in height and about 300% brain per student. We easily won the class stunt. We elected our president Jack Hiatt. This year saw our athletes play an important part in football, several made their letters. Our picnics this year were jinxed because it rained every time we went. One was to be held at Ladd Canyon but we were driven by the rain to the park. We won the ticket contest, the track meet, and interclass basketball con- test, placed five men on the basketball team and several on the track team. Exams. As Juniors we were very sedate and looked with distain upon the silly pranks of the Sophomores and Freshmen. When ever anything came up to be won, we won it. This was our peppiest year so far. Our class president was Clark Price. The football team was the Eastern Oregon Champs; we had seven men on it showing their stuff. The basketball team was placed second in the district and five of its members were Juniors. We won the Inter-class basketball championship and the track meet. Members from our class won three prizes In one state contest on essay writing and two in another. We put on the Junior Play “The Arrival of Kitty.” The proceeds of this successful play went to make the Junior-Senior banquet. A tragedy of our class history occurred when we failed to take the Mascot from the Seniors. On September 11, 1923, we came again to attend, for the last year our old L. H. S. We had grown in knowledge and size and strength, but in number we had decreased. The duty of upholding the honor of the school in athletics has largely fallen upon our shoulders. Our success we lay to our pep and spirit and to having people of ability to aid and counsel with us as have been the Hi-Dads and our advisers. Our football team was composed largely of Seniors. In scholastic events we have taken six prizes. We won the class stunt and several ticket selling contests. Our basketball team was composed of all Seniors, except one. Our class team won the interclass games. As the Senior play was a great success, we are assured of one of the best Annuals ever put out by our school. Most of the boys in school are out for track, we Seniors are behind them. About the only things of importance left are the Senior all-day picnic and the Mascot fight. We know we will win the latter through our great strength and pep. The other will be enjoyed that is certain. As our school days are drawing to a close, we are reluctant to leave old L. H. S. —Dallas Jacobson Page Twenty-Six
