'I can.' HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS Upon beginning this short history of our Senior Class, the thought came to me how greatly our destinies, as we enter High School, resemble this page. We start out with a clean white sheet, pure and undefiled. Four years lay ahead and what record is Written down concerning the achieve- ments of these years of Work and play depends upon each of us. We can either strive diligently or be very slothful. It is to be hoped that We have all been of the former class, and Willing to help others. A few in our illustrious class have been with us since primary days. These are Helen Rogers, Helen Rider. Helen Van Hoy, Kathryn Keesling Elizabeth Seybert, Irma Kramer, Stella Kramer, Lawrence Murfin, Robert .Tones and Ralph Studley, long since respected Misses and Messrs. Our number has been added to and taken from, until now we graduate, a class of twenty-seven. Some have specialized in Home Economics, and three girls, Esther McCabe, Gertrude Alley and Adella Reichert have finished a four year course in this line of Work. The four boys who have successfully completed four years of Vocational Agriculture are: Russell Koeniger, Thomas Har- rison, Clarence Foust and Ward Jacobs. They may become prosperous far- mers or civil engineers, or perhaps, Vocational Teachers. There have been any number of good Latin and English students in our class, and some regu- lar History Sharks. Many of us aspire to a college education and all are determined to be a credit to P. H. S. We started out as Freshmen, thirty-three in number. Our lessons were our chief enemies but we gradually overcame them. When We looked at our upper classmen, it was with awe but it gave us an inspiration to Work. The teachers thought us a very ignorant bunch, but soon found that we were regular students and could accomplish almost any task put be- fore us. We enjoyed dozens of parties during the year and the usual initations and, consequently, at the end of the term, we felt We were a hundred per cent class, fully qualified to occupy the Sophomore row.

THE PAPYRUS '23 Not much is to be said of our Sophomore year. All of us seemed to be a little more advanced than when we had left P. H. S. the spring before. Several of the girls had done up their hair, a few boys had donned long trousers and quite a few had improved in looks. Our old officers were exhausted by reasons of their various duties, so we held a class meeting and elected new ones. Our first business engagement was held at the Pendleton Fair where we learned that several of our pretty girls were born saleswomen and, where quite a large sum of money was added to our slim account. Many social events were held this year, one that was espec- ially enjoyable being the Weiner roast at Idlewold Park, carefully chaper- oned by Miss Elvin. Bonfires, races, buns, marshmallows and a few weiners figured in the entertainment. As Juniors we were naturally the most important class in the world- in our estimation. We had for our President, Donald Dennis, who had served us faithfully the year before. Cecil La Fuze was Vice-President, Pauliena Gaither and Helen Rider were the supporting cast. We had sev- eral delightful parties-a particularly entertaining one on Christmas and the morning after-but the banquet was the climax of the entire year. The hall was elaborately decorated in the class colors, with a great dome as the unusual feature. A At the end of the Junior year, our president, Donald Dennis, and our classmate, Helen Frampton deserted us and were united in the bonds of holy matrimony. This left us Presidentless at the beginning of the last lap. Thereupon we elected the Hon. Lawrence Murfin as chief executive, a place which he has filled very commendably. We have not had many parties this y ear, but the ones we have had will linger in our memory forever-for in- stance, when Casey drank the cream. Our boys have been unusually active in athletics. In basketball Rus- sell Koeniger, Elbert Gustin, Arthur Stanley, Otto Crosley, Robert Jones and Ralph Studley have honorably represented the class. We have some creditable debaters, also, some of the boys and girls would rather argue than eat. So. considering all things, we think the class of '23 is a mighty good class. But as Solomon says-'Let another man praise thee' so we will bring this to a close. As we approach this, the end of our Senior year in dear old P. H. S. a feeling almost of sadness comes over us. We realize now, as never before, that the days our elders have termed our 'happiest days' are drawing to an unwilling close. We also realize that with the aid of a justly revered faculty, these years have Htted us in a little measure to go bravely forth and fight life's battles. And as if knowing our worthiest aims. Kipling has written a poem-our poem, we call it, expressing them for us. Go to your work and be strong, halting not in your ways, Balking the ond half-won, for an instant dole of praise. Stand to your work and be wise- certain of sword and pen Who are neither children or Gods, but men, in a world of men . THDYAWCQ 'MW TTWMW Page 11 ' ' 'W' i
