 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Harry Gibson Lawrence Brest Malcolm Johnson Eleanor Staffold HJimtor Class Histnru — N the fall of 1912 we entered High School as Freshmen. rl here were one hundred and twenty-seven boys and girls who filled the ranks of the class of 1910. We were commonly alluded to as green, and were often reprimanded for our follies and misdeeds. In the halls we often heard Juniors or Seniors say, “Oh, it’s noth- ing but those Freshmen,” or, “Oh! I know she's a Freshie.” Hut many new and interesting things were happening. Among them was the honor of electing class officers to aid in the edit- ing of our page in the High School paper, called The Ahdawahgum. an Indian name meaning Grand Rapids. Malcolm Johnson was elected president; Frederic Voss, vice-president; James Lavigne, treasurer; and Eleanor Staffeld. secretary. We also chose two reporters, Mildred Kruger and Lawrence Brost, whose hard work made our Freshman page one of the wittiest and most interesting of the paper. Tnose busy, happy days flew swiftly by. The football and basketball seasons came and went, and in both teams Ernim Smith represented our class. So happily the days passed until a shadow crossed our school life, for death claimed one of our dearest classmates, Helen Anderson. Her death left us sad for many days, and her memory will linger with us long after we have left our school. Spring soon came. The days became balmy and warm, and it was only by diligent study that we eluded the clutches of the epidemic spring fever. But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so we decided to have a Freshman party. The dining room and music room in the Witter building were decorated very prettily in green and pink.
