EN AVANT 23 CLASS HISTORY There is one hook wliich we o])eii vvitli pride, we memhers of the class of June, ' 21, and the name of that book is The History of Our Class. We love to read it because it tells of our hopes, ambitions and accom- I)lish ments. The first part oi our little book is devoted to the narration of our experiences, as fresh- men, — bewildered, amazed, little freshmen trying to get used to a new routine and to an enormous building thronged with stu- dents. As the days passed by we found that it was exciting to be freshmen. l)ut it was better to be sophomores. In our sophomore year several of the boys turned out for athletics, and a few of them earned their letters. A desire for social life obsessed us, and so we had a ]3arty at the W oodward tiieater. This event brought to a close a most eventful year. The Junior year found us witli our ranks reinforced I)y a group of returned soldiers and sailors who had come back from the world war to finish their studies at North Central. Although we considered ourselves very sober and dignified, we had a Kid ' party to which we invited the Junior A ' s. The feature of the event was Brick John- son, who was immaculately attired in gym- nasium trousers, a white sailor ' s middy, white shoes, and half socks. In the fall oi that year vc learned to bear defeat in a sportsmanlike manner when Lewis and Clark won the annual football game. However, during the winter and spring we won bas- ket ball and baseball. Just before school closed for the summer we went on a hike to Downriver park. The fall of 1920 found us back at North Central ready to do our very best in our last year. The year was begun successfully, and on Thanksgiving Day our footbajl team brought victory home to the north side. In accordance with a long-established custom, we invited the Senior A ' s to a theater partv at the Woodward. When the last semester rolled around, we elected Glen Johnson president. It was a busy semester. Many of our class- mates received honor emblems by winning places on the Scholastic Honor Roll. Margaret Bement made the highest aver- age ever attained in North Central. The class play, Merely Mary Ann, was an un- qualified success, and the cast displayed un- usual dramatic ability. On kid day we forgot our newly acquired dignity and paraded through the halls in the garbs of our childhood. Not long after we were in- vited to a picnic at ledical Lake, by the Senior B ' s. Class Day found us in a turmoil of excite- ment mingled with regret at the thouglu that it was (jur last in North Central. The supreme moment arrived and, as in a dream, we received oui diplomas and were ready to go forth into the outside world. Thus ends our litlc book, and though you may never care to open its pages again, we shall open it always with the .same loving pride as we do on this day in June, 1921. EDWARD MURPHY, Chairman.

24 ENAVANT CLASS lUON ' T The class of June, ' 21, being of a selfish and egotistical nature, and realizing that never before in the history of North Central has a class done so much for the school, desires to keep its many virtues, willing away only those possessions which are ot no value. We, therefore, dispose of our belongings accordingly. We keep the gift of gab peculiar to the infamous Smiths, in order that it may serve in persuading St. Peter to take them in. To entertain us in our heavenly home, we take Lenna Baird. She won the prize in grade school for singing the loudest. ( Twas a leather medal, but ' twas nice.) Maggie Miller will feel at home in heaven, for she ' s always harping about something. Bury me with my head out, so you can use it for a tombstone, says Harleth Steinke. If this were a class will, we ' d leave Dick and Lucille ' s matrimonial bliss to Dwight and Louise, but we won ' t. Rosy Johnson leaves North Central (almost as good as he found it). The class won ' t writer, doubtful of his reaching the pearly gates with the rest of the class, intends to take a fan and some ice with him. We leave a vote of thanks to Doctor Ben- efiel and the athletic board.. We sure ap preciate getting our letters. We leave our appreciation to Walt Horn for helping Margaret with her studies. (P.S. She even got A in astronomy.) We take our wonderful goocl humor, as evidenced by Bob Woods when he said, Most of the fellows intend to be broke when they graduate, but I ' m going to be a little broker. Ah, we ' ll be different in this won ' t. In- stead of willing our seats in convocation to the senior B ' s. we leave them to the fresh- men. (They ' ll sit there anyway.) .Another jiroNerbial gift to leave is a new joke book to Mr. Collins, but in order not to trouble future class will writers, we desire to lake all his joke books with us, instead. We take with us, Hod Pollock and his ambition to return to his native home in Sweden. Swede Swanson was seen walking down the street singing, Ireland must be heaven, for my mother came from there. ' He ' ll be happy in his new home for he will see St. Patrick. W ' c leave out of this will — all the teach- ers and students who want free publicity. (They wouldn ' t pay us enough.) l OR SALE — One palm beach suit; it won ' t be hot where I ' m going. See Jerome . ndrus. (Paid adv.) We can hardly say anything about Ron without getting personal, or at least getting Witt-y. Omigosh ! Whomelse have we got a grudge against? We wonder what Jean W ' illiams would do if we took Ed with us? Helen Howard hopes that all angels ain ' t females. Neal Smith challenges any one to break his record of seven years flat at North Cen- tral. (Doubtful contestants are Ernie Henry. Harold Berven, and Aston-Burke Co.) Yes, Neal started in September, 1914. Finally realizing that Hanley, Morrow, Gullette, and Whitfield already have the other destiny ahead of them, we ' re unable to take them with us, but we hope that their future comj)any is enjoyable. And so, for better or for worse, and feel- ing sorry for the school, we depart. THE CLASS. OF JUNE, ' 21, CLASS WILL COMMITTEE. Neal Smith, Chairman, Lura Hall, Jo} ' Williams.
