teams, and all other worthy activities of the school, including literary work. Three out of the five regulars on this year’s basketball team were Seniors. Doc Corbly and Carl Campbell were captains of the football teams of '22 and '23 respectively. The class play, the Junior-Senior Banquet, Commencement and Baccalaureate services are events of the spring. Others will take our places and old P. C. H. S. will no doubt go on without us, but if the Class of '24 has done nothing for the betterment of the school or for ourselves, our four years here have been wasted—so we hope that we have accomplished at least some small thing which will help us along life's way.

CLASS HISTORY It was in September, 1920, that a throng of green Freshies entered the walls of P. C. H. S., frightened by the great admiration of the upper classmen. They numbered seventy-one strong, and their brightness swelled out upon the air, and was felt by everyone, even the dignified. Now, after four years in this temple of learning, we are about to depart, dignified, and equipped with sufficient (?) knowledge to serve us for life. Of this goodly number, there remains but thirty-nine. We expect all these will receive their diplomas, with full honors, in June. During the first year, being Freshmen and blessed with the usual amount of GREENNESS and modesty, we attended mainly to our own business, which kept us well occupied. Our one and only diverting activity was a picnic, which everyone enjoyed, although it did take some time to pay the pickle bill. The class is very proud to recall that Orren Pierce was elected Captain of the “Basketball Team his first year in P. C. H. S. In our Sophomore year little was done besides getting our lessons, except on September 22, 1921, when a weiner roast was held at Kemp's farm. During these two years we kept our eyes and ears open and were ready to make ourselves known during our Junior year. The various activities of this year gave us the name of the “peppiest class in P. C. H. S. Leroy Johnson was elected Class President. The class is pleased to accredit our advisors. Miss Wylie and Miss Geyer, with giving us much friendly aid and valuable counsel during the year. Our first sign of life was a class picnic held October 1 3, at Harding’s woods. After eating, the time was spent in singing and telling stories, some of which were so spooky that several almost stayed all night, as they were afraid to go home. During the year various things were done to raise money for the class. A carnival, which was a great success, was given; candy was sold at football and basketball games, and a silver tea was held at the home of Emily Wylie on May 10. Two Junior Tag Days were held for the purpose of collecting Junior dues. In the middle of the year, the class bought their pins and rings. Santa Claus delivered them to them for Christmas. As a final for the Junior events, the Junior-Senior banquet was held at the Middlecoff Hotel on May 25. Places were set for nearly one hundred. After the address and response of the class Presidents, and the toasts by Mr. Swinney and Mr. Hoskinson, a short entertainment was given by some of the members of the Junior class. Now we come to our last and Senior year. Many have dropped out until there are only thirty-nine out of the original seventy-one. Some of these members have been together since the first grade of the Paxton schools. Among these are Russell Johnson. Arline Carlsten, Robert Benjamin, Ebba Tinberg, Emily Wylie, Martha Belle Dunnan, Frances Glad, Nina Mullinax, Evelyn Turner, Bessie Steward, Bercille Burkard, Zetta Jones, Rachel Thompson, Arnold Carlsten and Pauline Given. The Class of '24 has had more than its share of members in the athletic —PAGE TWENTY ONE—
