i . W? CLASS HISTORY The Class of '31 has had one of the hardest histories of any class which we can remember. It has been a long, hard road to become Juniors. In the fall of 1917 about fifty-five students filled out schedule cards under the name of Freshmen. The newcomers were packed into the various rooms until the new addi- tion should be completed. Then the much imagined day arrived, the Old High School was totally destroyed by fire. To our enjoyment the high school was put on half time to accommodate the grades. When the regents were over that June it was found that the class had lost heavily in the contest against short classes. As Sophomores the survivors plunged into another year of one session days but the congestion was gradually relieved as the addition was completed. However, when the classes were separated, it was too late to organize -as a class and elect officers, but during the year we entered a strong team in the inter-class basketball tournament and at the interclass track meet our men did their best against the more experienced Juniors. At the class elections we chose Miss Healy as faculty advisor and elected Carl Trippany, presidentg Nick Viskovich, vice-president, and Hazel Demers, secretary-treasurer. Despite our lack of numbers we have done much better in the line of extra-curricular activities. We claim Carl Trippany and Nick Viskovich even if they did desert us to graduate this June with a number of other Juniors. In the inter-home room basketball tourney we went to the championship even if the majority of our stars were on the varsity and were unable to play. We kept our standing in all clubs and our members took part in dramatics and public speaking. We are represented by Florence Mattice and James Martin in the Athletic Association Council. 2.8
