OLe ALPHA 1(523 High J uniors Glenn }. larders President Mae Harris Vice-President Doris Fry Tax Collector Viola Cole Sec y and Treas. HERE’S TO the class of “24”! What class has more ahead of her? With the laurels already won and with success and the foundation of success who should win more honors? Never in the history of the school has a class been better represented in all school activities as well as social functions. But it takes “pep” and “grit” to ever accomplish success a.iJ so we can say that if the lower classmen would follow in our footsteps and acquire some of “Wise Man Juniors” pep they are a sure sign of success. One of the most remarkable features of this class is that the whole of the Girls’ Basketball team consists of Juniors with the exception of one guard, a high Sophomore. They are Ella Crum, Mae Harris, Isabel Andrews, Glenda Carpenter, Beroha Crum, a low Junior and Belva Smith a high Sophmore. In Boys’ Basketball oar joys also made quite a showing. “A” team, Gene Good; “B” team, Jack C .ambers; “C” t am, Randall Egan and Fletcher Chamberlin. On the football field we were well represented by Otto Crum, Arnold Grubbs, Eugene Good, Capt. Elect, Ar id Pauley, Glen Marders, Fletcher Chamberlin, Ulysses Strang and Frank James. Not only in athletics do the Juniors hold honors but in musical talents also. The orchestra this year is a great success. The boys all conscientious workers practice several times a week. They have been in public demand on many occasions. Robert Harlan, Glenn Marders, Randall Egan and Gherald McCoy do much towards making this organization the success that it is. We have one girl in our class who is worthy of special praise, as she has spent much of her time in helping the school in many ways. Viola Cole has accomplished what perhaps no other one in the history of the school has ever done, she has made six of the cuts for the Alpha this year. The Girls Operetta this year was very successful, and the Class of “24” can boast the two principal characters and several others, most of whom have taken active part in previous plays. They are : Mae Harris, Annette Huganey, Isabel Andrews, Doris Fry, Frances Crowe, Edythe Guerin and Elizabeth Guerin. The boys that have won Block “O” have formed a society and it is expected that this society will prove very popular. They hope to give several dances and it has been proved in the past that they are very successful affairs. At the first school party this year each class gave some skit and we are very proud of the one given by the Junior class. Page Twenty-one
