direction. This year we have certainly excelled that record for “day by day, in every way, we’re getting better and better” and intend to keep on doing so. Our record in athletics is exceptional for any one class. Edwin Keltner was on the football team and several good substitutes were from our class. He was also on the basketball team for which we again had several substitutes. Dena Mast and Libyan LaBranche are the forwards on the girls’ basketball team. The juniors and sophomores were able to defeat the freshmen and seniors, so, you see, we have several fine substitutes to our credit. Several sophomores have been on the track team. In other activites we had a more brilliant record. The vice-president of the student-body and the secretary of the Junior Chamber of Commerce were sophomores. Myrtle Pomt High School won the District Debate Championship and the two first speakers. Marjorie Stemmier and Leland Wagner, were from our class. The winners of the city Oratorical and Declamatory Contest. William Ladd and Marjorie Stemmier were also sophomores. Florence Felsher and Aileen Barker were on the Myrtle Leaf Staff and one of the assistant business managers of the Annual was a sophomore. The “Rooks” this year were initiated much more thoroughly than we were, for we gave them a masquerade party so they could enjoy themselves when the initiation was over. In April we gave a sophomore party at the Lundy H ill and enjoyed the long-put-off treat immensely. We are busy now counting our days of perfect attendance and planning our picnic which will be held soon. The class officers who have brought us through such a successful year are: Rodnev Davenport ..................................... President Genevieve Clarke .................................Vice-President Al-'ce Nosier............................Secretary and Treasurer Paul McNair ......................• •......—.... Sergeant-at-Arms Leland Wagner .......................................... Council Representative Miss Frazier ................................... faculty Advisor Altogether, we are proud of our record and expect to have a brilliant history which will long be remembered as that of the illustrated class of ’26.

Poem We hear a noise on the upstairs floor Where some poor freshman has been shown the door It makes no difference whether we stand or sit, For the seniors will say something or else they’ll split. We hear a voice on the ball ground say, “Here comes a freshie, get out of the way!” And don’t you know every doggone time We turn our back, we’re hit from behind. They always tell us we ought to wear green. Don’t you think that is awfully mean? 1 guess they’ll always play jokes on the frosh. So you just wait till we’re seniors, by gosh! --------®---------- History One sunny day last September we found ourselves inside the high school building, wondering what to do next. We were given a room down stairs for our assembly. At first we had some difficulty in finding our classes, hut we soon learned where to go. At our first class meeting we elected the following ollicers: president, Harold Carver; vice-president, John Dickson; secretary and treasurer, Donald Adams; sergeant-at-arms, Glenn Gibbs, who was later succeeded by Earl Fite; counci representative, Isabelle Bryant. We became quite curious when we heard the sophomores making plans for our initiation party, wh:ch was to be in tin form of a masquerade. We wrere slightly initiated, after which games were played and refreshments served. The party broke up at a late hour and a good time was enjoyed by all. We went home, feeling that ’nitiation parties were not so bad after all. At a later meeting we decided or. a return party for th'» entire student body; but as late hours are not in keeping with football rules, the party was rostnoned. At midyear we were joined by eight grammar school students. This brought the total number in our class up to forty-five. The bovs among thnse beg’nnirg freshmen were quite roughly treated by some of the upper classmen. Page Twenty-four
