History of 4-B Class By ERWIN EASTWOOD In January, 1920, a class of twenty-six left Miss Wheatley’s care and came into High School as green f reshies. We were invited upon the stage by the seniors and received our first instructions. The first thing the class did was to organize. The following officers were elected: Erwin Eastwood, presi- dent; Helen Woods, vice-president; Nedra Edwards, sec- retary, and Beatrice Bowman, treasurer. During our Freshman year we had two parties, both held in the Garfield building. When we started our Sophomore year we lost a few members but gained others, still keeping our original number of twenty-six. We were very studious during our Sophomore year and had time for only one party which we held in the Garfield building. In our Junior year we lost six of our members, some going ahead and others we left behind. While Junior Bs we could not und time for a party, but when Junior As we enjoyed one in the Garfield building, entertaining the Junior Bs. When we started as Senior Bs we lost all but eleven of our members, some going ahead, others moving away and still others going behind. The last half of the semester when the roll was called we found we had only six members, three of which were of the original twenty- six, namely, Rae White, Amherst Spitzer and Erwin East- wood. We hope that when we graduate we will still possess the high standards which we have obtained during our previous High School years. T toenty-seven
