The 5. F cf? Q31 J inaugural address of the president will always . 'Wi-TJ N-H- be remembered by those who heard it. It was One summer evening in the year 1937, Mr. J. A. Craig, the veteran principal of Muskegon High School, was seated at the radiophone in his office listening to a concert from Chicago. Suddenly he ceased to hear the music, and in- stead was startled by a voice which he soon re- cognized as that of Noel Black, an orator of world renown. -and so I finally consented to give this report of the famous class of 1922, said the voice. Immediately Mr. Craig became alert and listened attentively. On the ninth of October, 1918, continued Mr. Black, a group of Freshmen met to organ- ize their class. They elected Evelyn Wyman, president, Dorothy Chamberlain, secretary, and Reinhardt Lewis, treasurer. In November of that year the first party was given. It must have been a success, since 56.97 was added to the treasury. It was that same month that the Armistice was signed, I remember how a few conscientious students reported at school, while the majority of them celebrated the day in a far different manner. The following Feb- ruary Reinhardt Lewis was chosen class pres- ident, Dorothy Cayan, secretary, and Fred McDonald, treasurer. For several days that winter we were forced to strain our voices through influenza masks, and we all looked like inmates of a Turkish harem. The next October we again met to elect officers. Harriet Wilson was made president, Reinhardt Lewis, secretary, and Ed Swett, treasurer. We were Sophomores then, and oh, how wise we were. In February, 1920, Harold Sawyer was chosen president, Dorothy Cham- berlain, secretaryg and Dorothy Cayan, treas- urer. During this year the Student Council was organized. Reinhardt Lewis and Ardis Johnson were first to represent our class in that body. A party was given this year for the younger classmenf' Oh, yes, said Mr. Craig to himself, I re- merely this: 'I thank every one who voted for me.' We made a momentous decision that semester, we chose our class pin. - In order to procure funds for the Junior Supper, we held a sandwich sale at one of the football games, and we made nearly thirty-five dollars profit. The Junior Supper was a success in every way. Ah, mused Mr. Craig, smacking his lips, that was a good supper. I recall how I com- plimented them on it, just as I do all classes. The oflicers for the next semester , Black went on, were Alice Prescott, president, Doro- thy Chamberlain, secretary, and Vernon Wells, treasurer. The big event of the year was the Senior Reception. Candy, cake, and pie sales were held at quite regular intervals. The Class actually had some money left after all the bills for the reception were paid. Finally we became Seniors, and our opinions were at last considered of some account. The officers for the first semester were Alice Pres- cott, president, Harriet Wilson, secretary, and Walter Dewald, treasurer. We almost gave a party that half, but we decided to wait until the next term. For the final semester I was pres- ident, here Black's voice assumed a very mod- est tone, Alice Prescott was secretary, and Reinhardt Lewis was treasurer. The Senior Play and the Commencement activities demand- ed so much of our time that we were not able to appreciate fully the honor of being the first Senior Class to take the final examinations. But in spite of everything we deeply regretted leaving the school where we had spent four of the happiest-. Just then something went wrong with the radiophone, but Mr. Craig did not even notice itg he was lost in revery. Yes , he sighed, that was a splendid class. There remains for me but one unsolved mystery in connection with it. Who removed the physiology specimen from Room I? ALICE PRESCOTT BEATRICE JOHNSON LAWRENCE CUDAHY
