Page twenty History of the Seniors of '26 We began our Freshman year with an enrollment of 53, al- most one half of the high school. It did not take us long to iind that we were very, very, green. The Sophomores initiated us at a party given in the old school building, and right then and there we learned something about high school life. The rest of the year was -spent in study, and the usual things. A few weeks before school let out the high school was transferred to the new school building, and in this we saw the close of our Freshman year. Our Sophomore year was begun, and we were beginning to feel like real members of the high school, since we were not the greenest. We initiated the Freshmen at a party given in the new gymnasium, and here we took out our revenge for the year be- fore. This year a few parties were given, and the class spirit was beginning to show. Our enrollment had dropped some, but still we were the largest class in school. The Sophomores assisted the rest of the high school in the operetta, The Windmills of Holland. The first part of our Junior year was rather quiet, until the class tournaments began. With the tournaments began class fighting. We won first in basketball and second in debate, and the girls won second in basketball. Then came the time for the basketball and debating teams to go to Laramie. They both made good showings. The real class fights began while the teams were in Laramie, 'but there were too many Juniors for the Seniors. The rivalry was intense for a long while. Then came the Junior play, All a Mistake, on which we cleared about seventy-five dollars. It was our year to put on the Junior Senior banquet, and we spent nearly a week in preparation of the gymnasium, and the many other things that had to be done. The gym was decorated nicer than it ever had been before, and the banquet was a grand success. So ended our Junior year. h With the beginning of our Senior year we had an enroll- ment of 29, which was still the largest class in school.
