Paxton Community High School Reflector HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1922 (By Rachael Tweet.) Three years and nine months ago. there came into P. H. S. a new c:ass. conceived in ignorance, and dedicated to the proposition that all Freshmen are created green. In the beginning, there were Hfty-six in number, of whom (lien Hanson was elected President, Grace Larson, Vice-President; Omie Oneal. Secretary and Paul Nelson. Treasurer. We were the usual Jolly, yet studious Freshmen. As stately Sophomores, we answered the roll of forty-three, thirteen having left us, while ten new Sophomores, wishing to become members of the class, were ready to take their places. These were Earlene N'ees. Elizabeth Patton, Catherine Lochenmyer, Lela Noble, Irez Thompson, Cora Webber, Edmund Ludlow, Ray Corbly, Donald Kirk and Glen Shramm. The officers chosen this year were; Paul Nelson, President; Rita Lientz, Vice-President; Kathryn Jane Dunnan. Secretary and Treasurer. The class was now recognized by the school as they took active part in musical and literary entertainments. In the autumn of 1920, this class assembled for the third time at P. H. S. It was the prominent and outstanding class of forty members, three new ones having joined the class, namely: Pearl Nicewander, Clara Shinker and Helen Johnson. The class was organized with Edmund Ludlow as President; Earlene Nees, Vice-President, and Mary Wampler, Secretary and Treasurer. The pep aroused by this class has never been exceeded. This was shown by the girls’ basketball team, the boys’ athletics, and by literary activities. It was during this exciting period that the Junior boys won a pennant in the inter-class baseball contest, which was followed by an appreciation of the girls in the form of a party. Strange to say that such a peppy bunch could leave their Junior pranks behind and become real dignified Seniors, entering again last fall with thirty-eight members. Three additional students came to graduate with us—Ruey Stanford. Lydia Brenner and Ada Clapp—the total number graduating being thirty-seven. This year, the officers elected were: Paul Nelson. President: Grace Larson, Vive-President; Rachael Tweet, Secretary, and Elizabeth Patton, Treasurer. The class has retained its popularity by its numerous representatives in the literary programs, as well as in other school activities. As to the future, a large number of the class are undecided as to w’hat they are going to do next year. Ten or more will enter various colleges and institutions of learning; eight will make teaching their profession, and three will become stenographers. We. the class of ’22, here, highly resolve that we have not spent these four long years in vain; that this class shall have a bright future before them, and that the memory of the class, by the class, and for the class shall not perish from this school.
