THE ’.SEVENTEEN AHDAWAGAM Senior (’lass I Hstorq came into the High School in 1913, when one hundred and twenty of us were enrolled as freshmen. Ours was the largest freshman class in the history of the High School, and we have reason to l»e proud of it, though not alone on account of its numbers. That year, near Hallowe’en, we had a party, which was a great success and much enjoyed. We contributed our share to the Athletic debt, by some of our members participating in an athletic exhibit, which was quite well attended, and as a remembrance of our class, we all gave money toward buying a picture for Miss Haskell's room. The title of it is, “A Reading from Homer.” Our boys took part in the basket ball tournament, doing very good work, although some of the players who now make our class illustrious, were not there. We became Sophomores after the usual amount of work as freshman had l een covered, and renewed our efforts to make a name for ourselves. The first sc.iool activity was football, and several of the Sophomore boys made second team. Donald McGlynn acted as yell leader, and was one of the most efficient the school ever had. In the middle of the year, a play called ‘‘The College Town” was given, the prweeds to go for the purpose of beautifying the sehoolgrounds. Six members of our class were chosen for the cast; Bernice (Jill, Maurine Dutcher, Zelda Kggert, Harlow Morrill, Donald McGlynn, and Helen Hougen, showing that we have ability in dramatic work also. Ours was the class which organized the Bird Club, the membership in which we opened to all classes. In 1915 we became juniors, and we felt very proud to be sitting in the seats on the north side of the room, we were glad to la there, knowing that every year brought us nearer to our own coveted senior year. Our class officers were: Malon McSwain, President; Luverne Ellis, Vice President; Donald Daly, Treasurer, and Helen Hougen, Secretary. We hud very many activities and events during that year. The first was football, of course, and those of our class who played did very good work. The next event was a junior party, and we enjoyed it very much, in spite of the ice damaging the electric wires, thus making the lighting very uncertain. Soon after, the junior girls were initiated into the Literary Society, and furnished much amusement to the other students l eoause we had to wear our hair in two tight pigtails, and were not allowed to speak the whole afternoon. In that year, us usual, Wausau, Marshfield, and Grand Rapids held a triangular delate, and of the six debaters, four were members of our class. Our class colors were lavender and green, and with them, we marked off a section of the main room seats for the juniors on the night of the Junior class play. The play was .‘‘The Touchdown,” and was one of the best Junior plays which has ever been given at Lincoln High. loiter in the year. Miss Gaskells’ Junior English classes gave a Washington dinner at which toast were an important part of the evening’s entertainment. Our rlass gave a booth at the candy sale which was held just In'fore the Marshfield basket ball game, and although our lx oth was the smallest of any, we made more money than any of the others, Ixs-ause we sold the horns. That year the High School team won the Valley Basket Ball Championship, and won second place in the state tournament. We were ‘‘some proud” when it was known that McSwain of our class had made the basket that won us the game with Pond du I ac. Our Senior year began propitiously, and we “began to sit up and take notice, ” as we were on the last lap of our High School career. We elected as class officers, George Purnell, president; Maurine Dutcher, Vice President; Marie Bein, Treasurer, and Arthur Hatch, Secretary. Then the football season began, and some of our boys played. There were some verv interesting games. The Junior and Senior girls had been getting ui basket ball teams in the meanwhile, and in January and February played two public games. The Juniors won them l oth, but the Seniors were handicapped by sick players in both games. The triangular debate occurred about this time, and members from our class alone, repre- sented the school on both of the regular teams. The two alternates were Juniors. We were defeated at Marshfield, but won unanimously here. The basket ball season had again opened, and Mahlon McSwain. from our class became captain. We won all but two of our regular games, and took third place at the Stevens Point 1261
