Sara Liningerg Class Sponsor, Miss Allen. .During our junior year Theodore Funk, Margaret Wiood and Edna Leer left our ranks against our wishes but we were joined by Ernest and Rolena Leh- man again. This year our class was well repre- sented in athletics, debating, literary and ora- torical work. Our class offered to the public its first attempt on the stage. The play Peg O' My Heart was given at the Auditorium two nights before well filled houses. VVe also contracted for a lecture course to be given the next year. Of course the school work couldn't be im- proved if a person's mind was not refreshed and rested by several parties. One was held at Stone lake and the other at the school house. NVe had a box social in the school building at which time we made about S44. VVe finished our junior year by giving the Seniors a ban- quet and also attending the Baccalaureate ser- mon at the Lutheran church. VVe gradually felt ourselves becoming more and more im- portant, as is the case with all Seniors. Soon after school was dismissed for vaca- tion a party was held on the banks of the creek near the Valley church. Everyone, feeling himself released after the hard and busy school year, rejoiced at the thought of the coming vacation. After a few months rest, everyone was ready to start to school again. But not all of our class came back to Middlebury, for Paul and Mary Mishler deserted us and went to Goshen. For fear that our numbers should decrease, Mary Beals and Dorothy Sherck joined our class to our great approval. Officers were elected as follows: President, Orland Eashg Vice-President, VVilliam Nus- baumg Secretary, Elsie Yoderg Treasurer, Sara Liningerg Class Sponsor, Miss Allen. Soon after school started we ordered our rings and pins, which were readily liked by everyone. The class visited the Hainline photo shop at Elkhart for the purpose of securing individ- ual engravings for the Annual. Afterward the class visited Conn's Instrument Factory and the Aluminum VVorks. W'e decided to publish an Annual this year, so a staff was selected which immediately be- gan working on this book with the hopes that it may be finished financially and literarily suc- cessful before the school year is finished. The Lecture course contracted for by the class in its junior year proved a success, both to the class and to the community. It is our belief that the community needs such a thing as a lecture course, so it is hoped this practice will be kept up. The play Clarence was decided upon as our class play. lt was presented during the spring months. Nusbaum, '23, 'ey W: ll! ,fx iv G T x Sl fd iw iy ..,.. - t at - - -- Page Seventeen

As we are about to leave high school, we, the Senior class, feel it our duty and desire to put our history, as a class, on paper. Our history is extraordinary in that it is one of a class the largest to enter and the largest to leave Middlebury High School thus far. But the peculiarity of our class lies not only in its great quantity but also in its great quality as our records and history will reveal. VVe hope the histories of the following classes to leave Middlebury High School will be as encourag- ing to the development and general welfare of this school. Thirty-two members enrolled in our class on September Sth, 1919, when we started in on our high school days. Officers of the class were elected for one year. They were as fol- lows: President, Theodore liunkg Vice-Presi- dent, Ray Gohng Secretary, Sara Liningerg Treasurer, Elsie Yoder. Brown and' Burnt Orange were selected as our class colors at a meeting called for this purpose soon -after school started. Our banner was soon pur- chased. Due to the large number in our class it is remarkable the number that have remained with us during the whole high school course. Only Lucile Sherck, Carl Corson, .lennie Hos- tetler and Ethel Pickerel left the class and they either to attend other schools or to turn their minds toward other occupations. During our Freshman year we were for- tunate in enjoying two class parties. As may he expected when a crowd of thirty-two young Page Sixteen people get together, we had some merry times at both parties. After a few months vacation we again started in on our school work for the Sopho- more year. Of course, we thought we were just it when we were Sophomores, in fact, we had to look down a long way to see the Freshman class. Although the Freshman class tried very hard to defeat our class in number of members, they were not successful. All completing the Freshman year returned. Also six other students joined the class during the year. They were, Homer Miller, Rolena Leh- man, Ernest Lehman, Mark Schrock, jonathan and VVilbur Hostetler. NVe were sorry to lose Ethel Nihart, Rolena and Ernest Lehman as classmates at the end of the semester. Our class officers during our Sophomore year were. President, Ray Cohng Vice-President, Sara Liningerg Secretary and Treasurer, Dorothy Edwardsg Class Sponsor, Miss Lenore Lowry. Two class parties were held during our Sophomore year. One at Stone lake and the other at the school building on january Zlst. A class party was something that was always looked forward to by everyone as a time when the school routine would be temporarily laid aside and everyone would be permitted to en- joy himself to the full extent of the law. Having completed two years of our High school career. we entered school as juniors after a short vacation. Officers elected to serve during our .luior year were: President, Ray Gohng Vice-President.
