I shall try to tell a little of the history of our original Freshmen class as it ascended upward, toward the honorable goal—the Senior Class and Graduation. On the first Monday in September, 1! 21. there was eager anticipation, and perhaps a little fear in the hearts of twelve young people. The twelve young people were: Harvey Biggs. Violet Sanders. Oakley Lutes. Alice Tanner, John Cuson, Marcus Miller, Hirain Frank. Robert Wheeler, Wallace Johnson, Arthur Schmidt, Leonard Dillingham, and Gertrude Ilockelberg. The great event they were awaiting was their enrollment as high school students. During the first week or two of school, we felt rather strange and unsettled, but we soon became organised. Mr. Charles Reider taught us Botany; Mr. Harvey Larnhka taught us Algebra and I atln, and Miss Beatrice Morse taught us English. Some of the young people decided to quit high school during tin Freshmen year. Among these were: Murcus Miller, who moved to Chicago; Robert Wheeler, who wont to Alliance, Nebraska, to work in the ear shops; John Cuson. who started to use his Botanical know- ledge oil his father's farm; ami Hiraln Frank, who answered the luring call of the Golden West. Wallace Johnson «lid not return to school after the Freshmen year. During the Sophomore year, we studied Commercial Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry, under Mr, Klijah Wright; and Caesar and Kngllsh under Mrs. Hazel Itockelman. We only lost one of our beloved classmates during the Sophomore year. This was Alice Tanner, who discontinued her studies after her mother's death. There were Just six remaining members in our class, when we entered as Juniors in 11123. The memliership had decreased fifty per cent, in just two ye»i-8. During the Junior year we did not lose any of our classmates. We studied Physiology and Solid Geometry, under Mr. Welch; English under Miss Muriel Deopker, and History under Mr. C. K. Davidson. lastly, and most important of all. comes the fall of nineteen twenty- four, which marks the loginning of our last year of high school. There arc only five of us left. Harvey Biggs decided that it was more of an advantage to stay at home and become an Agriculturist. The five remaining Seniors are: Arthur Schmidt, Violet Sanders, Oakley Lutes, I onard Dillingham and Gertrude Hockelberg. This year we studied Trigonometry the first semester, and College Algebra the second semester. Mr. Welch is our teacher In these two subjects. Miss Cecil Corlew is our English and Economics teacher, and Miss Margaret Calkins is our History teacher. This year has been a pleasant one for all of ns. There have been times during our four years of high school, when the outlook for the future seemed hazy, but this is all past now. We have the long sought for reward. We wish to thank all of our teachers for the faithfulness they have shown us. and for the extreme patience they used with us, when we were unusually «lull. We all hope to make good use of our high school training by becoming pmsperous men an«l women. God grant that this may come to pass. GERTRUDE HOCKELBERG, '25. NEAR ENOUGH!
