S. was that of September l3th, 1920, when twenty-seven Freshies entered high school. After a few days of difficulty we or- ganized. lllue and gold were selected as our class colors. XYQ had several social events, as we had decided the old proverb All work and no play makes jack a dull boy proved to be true. lluring the year we regreted losing sev- eral members of our class. Feeling that we were benefited by a year of experience, we were ready to meet new difficulties as Sopho- mores. With sixteen members that year we enjoyed the duties and pleasures that belong to high school life. A program given on the last day of school proved to be a good adver- tisement of the dramatic ability of our boys. 'l'his year we fully appreciate the name of jolly juniors as it is one greatly enjoyed along all phases of our high school career. XVI: numbered only fiteen but in quality not quan- tity in our work as well as play. NVe were the First in Middlebury high school to purchase our pins and rings as juniors. Having promoted our ingenuity farther, we will be ready to enter our Senior year with greater pep and enthusiasm. Usie Showalter. 'Z-l, Page Twenty-one

On the street corner I noticed two people, whom I later recognized as Edith Smith and Elsie Yoder, or at least that had been their former names. All at once I saw, what I at first thought were two meteors, but upon closer exam- inations found greatly to resemble mounted horsemenq They were riding very swiftly amidst a throng of sheep and cattle. They rode up to a small tent with several large shepherd dogs. These words were printed on the tent in large black letters, Hostetler and Yoder Ranch. Sure enough it was jonathan and Albert. Then the scene was changed from the west to the east and I saw several bright stars in the room of a large college office. I noticed a program and upon reading it I no- ticed the name of President Beals. Looking farther down the list of teachers I saw the names of Miss Cooper, a teacher in English. The name of the college was Vasser. Lastly, I noticed a very small but exceedingly brilliant star above me. It did not twinkle a bit, but -la- 35 91679 shone with a very steady and bright light. In the background I faintly distinguished the words Prof, Hostetlerf' Then I roused myself and 'looked about me. How changed everything was. The night which had set in very dark and dreary, was arrayed in a very brilliant, soft and powerful light. As I gazed longer the barren plain changed to a very fertile plain. Everything showed marks of progress, you could hear tht hum of factories, the land was filled with schools, big fields of wheat and corn were growing. The sight was marvelous and I watched still longer. Soon the plain changed to a map of the world. Yea, the whole world was filled with the light of these twenty-eight stars. As I was about to make a great excla- mation of admiration I heard a very loud. gruff voice cry in an imparitive tone, Mark thou what thou hast seen! 'Tis truth and prophecy. . I awoke, and, behold. it was a dream! Samuel Yoder, '23. CLASS OFFICERS Freshman Year. President .............,......................................

Un September 12th, 1921, twenty-two very intelligent looking Freshmen found seats in the west side of the assembly room. Unlike most Freshmen we did not have any trouble finding recitation rooms, getting lost in the halls, or any such things that usually bother newcomers. ln a few days we had a meeting and or- ganized the class. VVe chose the following ollicers for the year: llresident, Helen Cohn: Vice-President, l'aul llowellg Secretary and Treasurer, Urene Kauffman. VVe chose for our class colors, burnt orange and black. Page Twenty-two Un the 25th of October we gave our first program. and raised our banner. Some of the upper classmen were kind enough to admit that it was very pretty. During the year we held three parties. 'llhe first was held on October 7th at the school house. 'llhe second was a bob-sled party. after which we came to the school house and had lunch. 'llhe third party was held at the home of Alvin Yoder on May l2th. NVe had hardly realized that our hrst year of our high school course was over. l'm sure we all had enjoyed it. and all, but two of our
