The MILESTONE NINETEEN-TWENTY-ONE The Class of 21 History XN SEPTEMBER, 1917, about 120 of us entered High School as green as any Freshies. At a meeting held the first week of school we elected George Schelly, president; vice-president, Guy Best, and La Verne Schiebe, secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Sonneland was our Sponsor. Later in the year Laurence Beckenhaur was elected president as George Schelly resigned. We made our debut into society when the Sophmores entertained us in the assembly hall of the High School. On Hallowe’en we had a masquerade party in the cave in Doctor Verge’s Park. In the last week of school we had a picnic at Yellow Banks. During our Sophmore year we had Guy Best as President, Marion Craven as Vice-President, Mildred Miller as Secretary and Treasurer and for Sponsors, we had Miss Gleason and Miss Chippei field. We elected Dorothy Campbell and Everett Isaacson as our Student Council members. Because of the Hu interrupting our school year, we had scarcely any class affairs. In the District Declamatory contest held here one of our menders, Harry Carson won second place. Upon returning to school next year, the class elected Marion Craven, President; George Wilson, Vice-President and Dorothy Campbell, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Coulson and Miss Gleason were our Sponsors. About five weeks after the opening of school we challenged the Seniors to the annual Hare and Hound race—we lost. The class play was the next event. We gave “The Hoodoo” under the supervision of Miss Haves and Miss Gleason. We defeated all of the other classes in the Inter-class Basket Ball Tournament. For our last year in High School Darrel Dudley was President; Guy Best. Vice-President and Eleanor Lewis, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Deeke and Mr. Wells were our class sponsors. We had now decreased in number to 54 members. We had a moonlight hike and picn'c at the Black Bridge in the middle of Novemlrer. The next week was the Hare and Hound race. Both sides claimed to be victorious. One morning on coming to school our class colors were found all over the assembly and on the roof. As the l oys were dismissed from school for the morning the senior girls went too and all enjoyed a weiner roast at the ball park. The senior class play will be given the middle of May. In the last week of school there will be the Junior-Senior banquet and the graduation exercises will be held on May 27. twenty-six

I The MILESTONE NINETEEN-TWENTY-ONE Class Will Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Herewith enclosed find the last will and testament of the Senior Class of 1920 of Norfolk High School, to their beneficiaries, the other students of said High School, their hearers; assigns and bequeaths forever, to do with said articles received by this will as they may. And to those that have been left out of this will, either intentionally or not so, will please come around to the ash pile, where they might find something of aid that might have been overlooked by the heroic and sturdy Class of 1921. Hear Ye, hear ye, following is the will, which is not to be read in a grave yard at moonlight: Gene Andress wills his position at the “Y” to some other aristocratic soul. Rosella Bauermeister leaves her knowledge of Physics to Bart McClow, and hopes Bart appreciates the gift. Art Bauriedal and Earl Bohl will their natural marcel to some of our small girls who will soon grow up. Maurine Berquist leaves her talent as a declamei to Dora Lee Stewart who shows great promise. Guy Best wills his basket shooting eye to Gerald Henning and associates and wishes them the best of luck next year. Dorothy Boyle wills her mirror in the D. S. House to Dot Witters. Dorothy Campbell leaves her sweet cheerful disposition to Clark Allen. Ruth Casselman and Lily Berner will their companionship to Avery Casteel and Reuben Steffen. Mildred Christoph wills her ability to keep quiet to Chas. Wetzler. Georgia Cowles leaves her golden silence to Ruth McCune, the dear girl. Marion Craven wills his smile to Lloyd Higginlxitham, who we hope will get rid of his brutal laugh and use the smile instead. Amanda Diedricksen wills her rosy checks to Mary Pyche who we hope will appreciate the natural hue. Darrel Dudley wills his cute remarks to Bill Reynolds, who should improve the stuff he now puts out. Charles Evans wills his job as meter reader (although he should keep it) to Zip Foster, so Zip can keep himself in cigarettes. Luiee Evans leaves Harry to anyone that has the pep to get him and keep him. Edna Felger wills her comer seat in American History to Joe Maylard. tho’ Joe probably will get moved back up in front sooner or later. Eva Goldsworthy wills her size to Reuben Rottler, who may some day win fame as the human stepladder. Ronald Gow leaves his bashful disposition to Gordon Hurlbert. Violet Granlund leaves her ability to figure up percentages to Elmer McGinnis, but will this do any good? Clara Harrington wills her temper and G. O. G. to Ruth Harrington, though they are not relations. Carl Henning wills his Khaki shirts to Fat Avery, who usually seems to be dressed for Sunday School. Chas. Hudson wills his dancing shoes to Harvey Hutchinson to use to his advantage.
