THE TRAIL Senior Class History Of ,24 Four short years ago, ninety-six of us came to old Norman High feeling rather out of place. We were called to the auditorium by class sponsors to have our first class meeting. Where we were given our new’ name “Freshmen and there we elected our officers whose duty it was to lead us up the first thorny steps toward the ultimate goal of achievement. Victor Bracht was elected president; Edith Newblock, vice-president; and Robert Barhour. the secretary and treasurer; Miss Barhour and Miss Butler were our sponsors. The Freshmen were well represented in all activities. In November the class showed pep by having a Freshmen Party” in the “Old Gym. Outside of our ability to entertain ourselves we were outstanding in ability to put over a business proposition. We were the first to turn n money for our pages in the Trail. Fighty-two Freshmen remained faithful to the end of the term until our laliors of the year were over. Advanced in honor and title to Sophomores, we enrolled one hundred strong with promising prospects. Again Miss Butler and Miss Barlmur were our kind sponsors. With Lewis Day, presi- dent; Beatrice Folmar. vice-president; and Kohert Barlstur, secretary and treasurer, we endeavored to make our Sophomore year successful. There was more interest than usual shown in activities this year. Again our class was the first to turn in the money for the Trail. Our Sophomore year thus completed we looked forward to the coming fall with the hope of one hundred and fifty classmates. How grand it was to he a Junior! Most of our plans centered on making the class finan- cially able to have the customary Junior-Senior entertainment. In March a play was given, entitled “Safety First” to aid in this undertaking. We made about eighty-five dollars from the play. In April the Junior Carnival was the attraction of the month. This raised our financial standing forty dollars. In May we entertained the Seniors with a banquet which we know sur- passed any other ever given. We were glad to have had as our president. Herman Mitschrich; vice- president, Ted Keynelds; and secretary and treasurer. David Lindsay. Miss Barintur was still faithful as sponsor, the others were Miss Cralle and Miss Bieber. Our work, joys and disappoint- ments as members of the Junior class ended in the spring with the closing of the scholastic year and the magical name of Seniors was embedded in all our hearts and we were ready to enter our last efforts toward graduation - the Senior year. Our class officers who had been elected at the close of the prevous year, are: Thomas Armstrong, president; Robert Barintur, vice-president; Dorothy Downing, secretary and Egbert Clement, treasurer; and with these as leaders we felt confident that this would be our greatest year. Also at the time of this election Herman Mitschrich was elected Editor and Dick Downing Business Manager of the Trail. Our greatest endeavor this year has been to make the Trail the best in the history of our school. To help finance this publication “Ellen Elopes, a play was presented under the supervision of Mrs. Elmore and Miss Wiest. our sponsors. The closing class event was the annual Spring Senior Class Flay which was in April. The Juniors entertained for us with an informal Junior-Senior Event during the last of March. This is always given as the Senior Farewell. It will really not Ik Farewell for us because we will always return to our Alma Mater and ever as alumni of the class of '24 her praises will always be sung to the tune of “Norman High School.” twenty .19 2 4
