—19 41 THE NOKTHEHN LIliHT GlaM. Jhlt uf. Ill I ' hjIliH ll««e and llnnald Welch It is a well known fact that all senior classes claim to be the best class. While we will not go so far as to say that, we WILL say that we are the most intelligent and appreciated body of seniors that this charitable institution has ever had the pleasure of donating diplomas to. My worthy colleague and I happened upon this institution accidentally and have tried to live up to its high standards. We shall go back over our childhood so that our underclass- men may fully understand and appreciate how we have benefited this vener- able building by our presence, and so that they might see how worthy we are of those valuable documents that shall be given us on the eve of our de- parture. The day that we entered high school was not like any other day. The sun shone brightly and the warm breezes whispered their encouragement to us as we stumbled into the vast auditorium. We all took front seats so that we might get a good look at this boogie man that everyone told us about; but we had not been seated long when a herd of big brutes came in and told us we had reserved seats in the rear. Of course we couldn ' t do anything but meekly troop back to the reserved seats, because they were giants and we were just beginning to grow. That old boogie man turned out to be our good friend, Mr. Mott, who has been our best friend and advisor for four years. He really is nice, too. After we got settled we proceeded to hold a class meeting at which we elected Ruel Smith, president; Donnie Welch, vice-president; Bernice Marlow, secretary; and Walter Bradstreet Clark, treasurer. Naturally, as freshmen, we held no social functions during that year and we were surprised to find that all we could do was to attend other dances, given by the upperclassmen, and act as meek as little mice, for we were only small fry. Our freshman year was not an eventful one except for one incident when Ralph Hall made all three varsity athletic teams. Our sophomore year was almost as uneventful, the only difference being that this year we could heckle the freshmen. In the election of 1939, Ruel was again elected president; Mary McAdams, vice-president; Hazel Wilmore, secretary; and Bucky Clark again took over the role of treasurer just to see if he could really make a little money for us this time. In the world of sports, Roy Phipps joined Ralph Hall on the gridiron, and remained there throughout the rest of his high school career. Bill Precourt, also, contributed to the class ' s athletics when he made the baseball team. Our junior year proved to be more eventful than the past years. Our election took place a few weeks after school opened, and we elected Ralph Hall to succeed Ruel Smith as president. lanet Thompson took over the posi- tion of vice-president. Milly Woodbury became secretary, and Donnie Welch was elected treasurer to see if he could better our financial status. Page Nineteen
