HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1923 Early one morning, four years ago, (luring the month of September, a number of young folks were up at sunrise all getting ready for school. They were all excited because they were going to start high school. As soon as they saw the busses come, they rushed out forgetting their hats and lunches and climbed into the bus. After having arrived at school, they went in at the front door and asked the first person they saw where the elevator was as they were anxious to get upstairs. Of course, everybody was surprised because such a question was asked, but they guessed that they were freshmen. At a quarter of nine, forty-four freshmen were seated in seats at the right hand side of the assembly room. The three other classes sat staring at them because they had never seen such a large number enrolled before. Soon after school opened, the three upper classes welcomed us to school by giving us a party. We were not allowed to take part in the activities that year but we were not disappointed because we knew we had three more years. As the second year of school opened, we w'-ere not as green as we had been the year before. Only thirty-five of our class came back but we were still the Largest class of any. At the beginning of the year our spirit was aroused and we chose our class colors—blue and gold; and our motto. The motto (TO RE RATHER THAN TO SEEM TO BE) suited us because we were determined to be something in the school. We entered basketball, literary work, and the declamatory contest. When the second year came to a close, the other classes thought that we surely had “pep”. Our third year began with only twenty-five Juniors. Loren L. Kuske became one of our group. This year was a busy year for all of us. Resides taking part in the activities vde planned a Junior-Senior banquet which proved to be a success. The seniors had always believed us to be a class worth while and we proved it to them. When school opened in 1922, we entered as seniors to spend our last year. Two new members joined us, Elizabeth Wheeler and Hector Nordquist. We welcomed them into our class heartily because we had lost two of our old members, Gladys 'Haucter and Dorothy Mix, who left to attend another school. This year we presented our class play, “And (Home Came Ted,” which was a big success. As we leave our school, we think of the many happy times we have had together and we wish one another great success in life. Anna Swanson, 1923.
