1 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 19.33 By Isabelle and Lorraine The writing of the history of the class of 1933 has heroine a serious matter. Because of the comments and expressions associated with all freshmen it is difficult to write a history of this class accurately without appearing boastful. However, the task must be undertaken, so a simple account follows: Why are we famous? Ask the upperclassmen, and see how they explain why our class is liked bv all the school! Is it because of the number in the class, or the nature of the class? We have an enrollment of forty-four and a better-natured class would be hard to find. On the first day of school, we were a trifle bewildered when we arrived in the large assembly room, but we were not confused. Oh no! we couldn’t be confused. For the expressions from the other classmen such as, “Aren’t they a sight?” “Greener than ever!” etc., so angered us that we settled down at once and the expressions slowly but surely changed to, “What a remarkable class!” In our studies we have had the best of success and have had little trouble with our teachers. During the first of the year, we elected class officers, as follows: Class Adviser: Miss Gilchrist. President: Raymond Perrin. Secretary-Treasurer: Ernest Bergeland. Several of our classmates were active members on both of the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams, receiving letters to their worthy credit. Also, two of our classmates represented the school in the Sub-District Declamatory contest. This year we were likened to acorns, just planted. Now we have sprouted and grown, and may be likened to sturdy saplings with well established roots and branches spreading out to catch the light of knowledge. It would be well to still keep your eyes on us and watch us grow, physically, mentally and morally. Wit and Humor Marcella M.: What kind of a ear have you got Howard? Howard K.: Oh—a runabout—runabout a mile and then stop. Mr. Knight: What’s the matter Howard, you don’t get as much milk out of ten cows as you used to. Howard: Guess not Dad, sort of lost my pull. Dorothy W.: I just adore dark men. El win B.: You’d sure have a swell time in Africa. Edward K.: Where were you last night? Cleone: With you. Edward: Yes 1 know but where were you? Mr. Matteson: You should place your hand over your mouth when you yawn. Bob Roy: What and get bit. Roy Prentis: Does air mail always have to be written on fly paper? “Bread” cried the actor and tin curtain came down with a roll. William P.: Why do you always roll your socks? Edward: Well my feet got hot and I turned the hose on them. Gwendolyn: I’m cold. Leland: Do you want my coat? Gwen: Yes—but just the sleeves.
