Under the management of Haas Sz Hammett a Junior-Senior dance was held in Kepner Hall on November 21. The whole High School was invited, and our finger in the pie assured the fine affair it turned out to be. School closed on account of Scarlet Fever for a month, and this 'un- expected vacation released from mid-term exams. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. . Our part in a parade in behalf of a Bond Issue for a new High School brought a large vote in its favor. The coming generations should give us many thanks for the new building in which they will receive their training. Once more we lent our support to a High School Circus. In fact, we were the whole show. We engineered the Dance, presented the Style Show, managed the decorating and in general were the goats for the Sen- iors' laziness. The proceeds went to the Red and Black, and Senior Class. Another picnic at Spades Grove was our last event for the year. We chased the Freshmen, who had arrived there ahead of us, and claimed the place for our own. We forgot the chaperons until it was time to sit down at the tables, but Betty Maskrey made time in her machine and brought them out in short order. Miss Ferer rallied and ran an ice-cream race with Alden Humeston. , A CHAPTER iv ' 4 The Survival of the Fittest After four years struggle we emerged the Class of 1922 and started on the home stretch with la bang. That is, our intentions started with a bang. We were going to do every thing that Seniors have ever been known to do and a few things that no one has ever been known to do. We were going to have dances, picnic,parties and above all a Senior play. In short, the Class of '22, as Seniors, was going to make up for all that it hadn't done as Freshies, Sophs and Juniors, and break the record at that. Joe Peifily was re-elected President, Joe Pardee, Vice-President, June Sisley, Secretary, and Virginia Hatch, Treasurer, with Miss H. Carroll again as Faculty Adviser and then things started. First a dance was proposed, but somebody sat on it. Next a party, but the committee forgot about it. The school board decided that there was no talent in the class, so the Senior Play, from which we even hoped to get enough proceeds to pay the class debts, took its place on that long list of good intentions. N At mid-year Joe Peiflly graduated and Charles Haas was elected presi- dent for the remainder of the year. Lots of snow suggested a sleighride. A committee was duly appointed, but by the time the plans were completed the snow had gone. A minor detail like that coudn't be allowed to spoil the party so we went to Rupert's cottage on Wheels. Miss Peters and Mr. Kerr chaperoned and Jo Pardee and Kate Freund carried the lantern. Snive seemed to be mighty hungry and ate a good deal but luckily we had plenty. Marion Stratton was almost frozen and the next day Miss Peters had to go home and was absent the rest of the week. No more sleigh ride parties. This book goes to press with the good intentions of 1922 still running high,-good intentions which we hope will carry us through the High School Circus, a banquet, and numerous picnics and parties, but as yet these are only prophesies and not history. But in the history of many generations to come, we claim this little bit of history for ours: we were the last class to graduate from the old High School Building. 26
