8. H Tim SANDPIPER Senior Class History One bright morning of September, 1916, the members of the Class of 1920 met in the Assembly prepared for the four years of ligh School work in which each person made a resolution to do his best. The class which was .quite large for a school of this size consisted of the following members: Leone McBride, Fama Garrison, Amelia Koch, Warren Knee, Wilma Warner, Grace Moulton, Edith Dugan, Jay Stevenson, Alfred Jungblom, George Dea- ton, Emma Suchland, Elizabeth Doell, Charity Weston and Cornnie Neare. Soon after the beginning of school the class held its first meeting with Miss Scott as the class adviser. Since Warren Knee had the distinction of being the only boy present he was elected first president. The other officers were Amelia Koch, vice-president, and Fama Garrison, secretary and treasurer. Orange and white were chosen as the class colors. The Seniors of 1916 had willed the white rose bud to the Freshman class which they gratefully accepted. The first class party was given on February 10 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Griffith where a pleasant evening was spent in playing games. Quite a task was undertaken when the first reception, which was sup- posed to represent an April Fool reception was given March 30, 1917. At the beginning of the school year of 1917 the members of the class of '20 were called back to school by the familiar sound of the bell. Everyone had spent a pleasant vacation wandering far from the land of studies and was glad to return again. Grace Moulton, Jay Stevenson, Alfred Jungblom and George Deaton did not return but four new members were added to the class-they were Eva and Edna Watkins, Chester Pittman and Floyd Morgan. Again the class underwent the form of being organized With Miss Bre- eount as adviser. Charity Weston was elected president, Warren Knee. vice-president, and Elizabeth Doell. secretary and treasurer. lt was discovered at that meeting that some of the members did not like the class colors, orange and white, which they had chosen during the Fresh- man year. Since they were Sophomores they considered it safe to adopt green and white, the colors of their choice. A plan was agreed upon by which the class should buy one large pennant by using the money in the treasury and that each person should buy a small individual pennant. A The White rosebud had been the class flower but in the Sophomore year the Maidenhair Fern was also chosen. Another thing that was decided upon at the meeting was that they should join the other three classes in giving the Freshman Class a rousing welcome at a Freshman Frolic and they did. The class party that year was given at the home of Warren Knee. On November 2 a reception was given to which ghosts or witches only were ad- mitted. The guests had to pass thru more horrible places than they could possibly imagine but they soon forgot them when they joined in the fun of the evening. lt was during the Sophomore year that the Lind High School started to

The class of '20 was among those that went over the top and as a reward they ,were allowed to choose any three periods of the day to be used as a holiday.

At the end of the year the class gave a Junior-Senior Banquet in honor of the Seniors who were leaving. It was held Wednesday, May 14, in the hall of the school building where two long tables were spread for the teachers and the members of the Junior and Senior Flasses.

Charles Campbell, president, Amelia Koch, vice- president and Elizabeth Doell, secretary and treasurer. Miss Haller was asked to act as class adviser and after some time she consented. This year it was decided that instead of each class giving a class party and a reception, each should give two receptions. This would result in the High School having one reception each month. The Freshman Frolic this year was given under the direction of the Senior Class. Another reception
