l'ITI111TI'fI1'l111TlITITfl g T' M'H 5 'llmlImnlllIH'I1'iTll HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1921 By Agnes Rude September of 1918 was an eveniful month for the class cf 1921, for the first of that month found us, Freshmen in High School. . Although we were not formlally initiated, we soon took part in the various activities of the school with all possible interest. During the last semester of that year in High we lost one member, Ralph Staples, Ralph left us to go out to Montana. Our first year was one to be remembered for many reasons. We were easily frightened, timid and very studious. As usual, we as Freshmen, were called greenies by the upper classrnen. However, we were good sports, saying that it was all in the game, and that our chance was coming. Our Sophomore year found us without one of the old members of the class, but adopting a new one. That year Russell Lee decided against school and Gordon Clcsway, present President cf our class, took his place with us. We abandoned our Freshman timidity, took active part in the initiation of the Freshmen, and all other activities taking place during that school terlrn.. We had dozens of class picnics besides all the H. S. parties. As Sophs, we were a studious, active, an all-around class, but as Juniors ! ! Really we can't compare the two years, Basket-ball was taken up by the boys and by the girls for a short time. The Athletic Association was orgainzed with one of our class members, Harold Hamilton, as president. Quite an honor to carry off. Several parties, picnics, etc., were given, among them the rcrzeption for the Freshmen, and the Mid-year party. Each one a great success. Then, in the spring we were busy as bees getting ready for the closing of school. Several of the Juniors took part in the Senior class play. In May the great event, the Junior- Senior picnic, took plate This proved to be one of the 'mlost exciting picnics that we ever had because, while we were enjoying our supper bv Lake Arbutus at Hatfield. a terrible rain storm came up. There was a hasty clearing-up--everything and everybody piled into the cars and we scudded off to find shelter. Everything came right through, everyone reaching home that night except a few girls who stayed in Hatfield until the next morning. We worked hard, and with the true class-spirit, decorating and preparixig for the Baccalaureate Sermon. The close of that term found the future-Seniors eight in number-two of the class, Ruby Frost and Fred Kroshinski having left us during that term. In May the District Contest in Commercial Work was held at the schoolhouse. Our class was represented in the typing and penfmlanship con- tests, and though no prizes were carried off, good work was done. In the evening there was a party for all H. S. students and the people who were here for the contest. The fall of 1920 and those dignified Seniors! Some kind advisor told us that we, the Seniors, were to be held up as examples for the members of other classes and we should conduct ourselves accordingly. This, in some way, caused good behavior among us ftho some people say it was only temporary goodnessi. In this, our last year in M. H. S., we have succeeded in many new undertakings. We are members of several successful societies, the Literary Society, Literary Club, and the Athletic Association, But the biggest and best work we have done in our four years in High, is on the first annual of the school, The Radio. We have enjoyed several parties and among these was the party given by the Seniors and Juniors. I am sorry that we, the challengers, were the final losers, but we gave the Juniors their party and an evening was very well spent in doing so. In the first month of' the second semester, Cora Borger joined us and is now helping in every way possible to make all our undertakings successful. SYNOPSIS OF LIFE OF THE CLASS OF 1921 As Freshmen they knew not, but knew not that they knew not. As Sophs they knew not and knew that they knew not. As Juniors they knew and knew not that they knew, As Seniors they knew and knew that they knew.
