I I I I I I I lllllllllllilllfl illlllllllllll llllllll I I I Illl I ll ill I I I I I ll ll I I I Class Histor N the Fall of 1923 our Class organized as Freshmen with a member- I ship of sixty-two. The following officers were elected : President, Emily Rogers, Vice-President, Ethel Booth, Treasurer, Beverley Cooley, Cheer Leader, Raymond Allen, Class Adviser, Miss Lucy Bush, for the Hrst semester, and Miss Emma Reed for the second. The first social activity of the class was a Hot Dog roast, held at Lake Mont- rose. All that remains of our second party is a paper napkin, cherish- ed by Alburta Andre. This party caused considerable comment by its attractive decorations. In September of the following year the class organized as Sophomores and elected Edwin Gardner, Presidentg Edward Decker, Vice-President, Ether Booth, Secretary, Merritt Estus, Treasurer, and Miss Irene Pedrick, Sponsor. That year we entertained the Seniors and gave them twenty dollars to help with their Washington fund. There was also a memorable sleigh-ride to South Montrose, followed by refreshments in the domestic science rooms. In the Spring we had the first of a series of picnics at Elk Lake. The Junior year was entered upon with forty-five members. The increase in the knowledge we were attaining entirely overbal- anced our continually decreasing numbers. Beverley Cooley was chosen for Junior President, Merritt Estus for Vice-President, Edwin Dayton for Secretary, Edward Keough and Edwin Dayton for Treas- urerg and Miss Margaret Curtis for Sponsor. During the' year the school was retarded in its work by epidemics of scarlet fever and measles. 'Ihe principal party of this year was one in honor of the football team. Our Senior President is Edwin Dayton, Vice-President, Alta Preston, Secretary, Ethel Booth, Treasurer, Merritt Estus, and Spon- sor, Miss Marian Taylor. The first party of our Senior year was a wienie roast, held in the domestic science rooms, We are very grate- ful io the Sophomores for the party they gave us. April eleventh was the date set for our much anticipated 'trip to IfVashington. A few of the students spent Sunday night in Scranton, but the majoriy started from home Monday morning at the early hour of four-thirty by auto to take the train at seven-ten from the Jersey Central station. We need not remind the students who took the trip of the anxious moments nor the happy ones, for we shall not soon forget either. One of the great- est events of any Senior year is the class play. We have been proud to work on Pomander Walk, a classic among comedies, and as our year book goes to print we are hoping for happy results. At this mo- znent, the play, Commencement, Class Day are filling our minds, and we feel that no lengthy mention of them is needed, for the events them- selves will be stamped upon our memories.
