wwf--'4 f Senior Class History r HESE four years of high school have been as a mighty drama to us. The four years comprise the acts, and the events of each respective year might well be taken to comprise the scenes. We, as the characters of this play, have faith- fully tried to portray the roles selected by us, and through the untiring help of our prompters, the teachers, in conjunction with our willingness to co-operate with them in their effort to lead us successfully to the end, we are about to enact the last scene of this drama of high school life, the whole being ended with the dropping of the commencement curtain. Our first appearance in this high school drama was truly and realistically made on the high-school stage the night of the Freshman Reception. That was the first scene in the first act of the play, and though we were a little timid at first, we soon became accustomed to our new environment, and progressed very splendidly ever after that. We were somewhat puzzled that we the guests should do the entertaining, but we played our part so well, regardless of the fact that the custom was such, that we were applauded on every side by the ostentatious upper- classmen, being next compensated for our labors by refreshments, the only part of the entertainment which we really enjoyed. Being the largest Freshman class, that had thus far entered this high school, it is to be expected that we ought to accomplish a great deal in proportion to our numbers. So we did! Our class numbered about thirty, and among them good scholastic as well as good athletic material was much in evidence. Members of the present football, basket ball, and baseball teams are reminiscent of Freshman accomplishment, and some members of the present Senior Class have been dis- tinguished as honor students. With Victor Etzkorn presiding over class meetings, we proceeded from one new scene to the next quite successfully. Several business enterprises of an epicu- rean nature were conducted successfully from a money standpoint, and we derived enjoyment therefrom, since we now understood what high school life was, both socially and academically. The vote of the class decided that Victor Etzkorn should again lead us through the Sophomore year as he had done previously when a Freshman. As the first two years of high school are usually spent Without much responsibility, we were a joyous, carefree crowd. Nevertheless, the majority realized that some work must be done, so we passed through the term quite successfully, both in academic work and in Student Body undertakings. We furnished our part of the high school float at the Prune and Apricot Exposition Parade. In football a large part of the team was composed of Sophomore boys, we also had our representation in basketball, baseball, and track, in the musical organizations and the Dramatics Club. Honor students were Doris Smith and Annette Chapman. Money for providing socials was obtained by the usual method of selling delicacies, to which the sweet-toothed students and faculty all fell a prey. The Junior year found us enacting the most exciting as well as the most laborious scenes of our high school drama. We immediately selected our class officers.
