History of the Cla ss of ‘21 Four years ago the Class of ’21 sailed from the port and entered the troublesome sea of studies in L. H. S. Vivien Kayden being at the prow, steered us safely through the first year of our voyage. During the year a few of our members grew sea-sick and were safely transported on a homeward bound ship, but a goodly number remained faithful to the end. During our very first year on the sea we did not lack the art of entertaining. About the thirty-first of October, 1 917 the Class of ’21 appeared at the High School building rigged out in costumes and prepared to enjoy the evening behind masks. Later a fair was given at which everyone was highly entertained. A few more months passed and ’21 again met at the High School to perceive with pleasure the entertainment given by our own classmates. At the beginning of our second year’s voyage a few of the members of cur crew were missing. We sailed through our second year with Marion Nelson at the prow, who guided us safely through our trials and troubles of school life. In the middle of the September of 1918 the entire High School was invited to attend the “Get Acquainted” party which was given at the H. S. building and at which our class was distinguished from the rest of the classes by wearing caps and bands of our class colors. A few more social events were given during the year and thus ended our career as Sophomores. Our third year found us still on our seaward voyage with Marion Nelson again at the prow steering us straight toward “Success.” That year there were five new members added to our crew. When the Basketball season came it found Vivien Hayden and Russel Burroughs of the Class of ’21 fighting for the Red and Black of L. H. S. A “Fete des Lanternes” was given by ’21, March 6, 1920 at which the mirth of all bubbled over. Then came the zenith of our social functions of 1920, the Junior-Senior Banquet at which the whole crew assembled to entertain our “higher” classmates. The refreshment committee must have thought we were “Acrobats at the Banquet Table” as they served “solid” head lettuce to be eaten with forks. The sea was unus¬ ually rough, the lettuce unusually slippery, and the forks un¬ manageable and as a result the lettuce slipped off the table and into the lap of an embarressed guest. One of the guests happen¬ ed to have retained a knife and everyone envied him. Thus our Junior year came to a close. In the fall of 1920 we could still be seen sailing among the High School Rocks with Hughe Hayden at the prow guiding us safely onward. The Basketball season opened; Vivien Hay¬ den and Russel Burroughs responded to the call for Basketball players. Later in the year a new member named Myron Born was added to our crew. He was not with us long until he became a Basketball star.
