THE ENTERPRISE ’2 2 Oliver Blackburn, President. Evelyn Steitz, Vive-President. Elma Barry, Secretary. ' Natalie Lapike, Treasurer. W HEN we entered P. H. S. we felt and acted as Freshmen. At the Freshman Jolly-Up, we were still rather dazed, but by the time we gave our dance at Christmas, we felt that we really belonged to the school. Emmett Olmsted was president. The next term, Winfield Williams was elected president. During this term we gave a very successful dance in the gym. and felt very proud to be in the class of ’24. Since we have been Sophomores, Oliver Blackburn has been pres¬ ident. In the last year we have given two dances and members of our class have taken important parts in athletics and dramatics. Vir¬ gil Valandingham won a Block “P” in high jump. Fred Ellsworth is on the track team now and next year we expect big things from him. Eleanor Phillips won a Literary Block for having written the best Freshman story and Raymond Ray has taken important parts in the High School Play, the Operetta and the Opera. Our motto is “Watch Us Grow,” and as Freshmen and Sopho¬ mores we proved that we did grow, but as Juniors and finally as Seniors we will have a better chance to show what the class of ’24 can do.

THE ENTERPRISE ’2 2 Freshmen Forest Jackson, Pres. Marion Olmsted, Vice-Pres. Doris Hopkins, Secretary-Treasurer T HE Class of 1925 entered High School with a reputation to sus¬ tain. With this in view we set to work to make our presence felt in the various activities of the Petaluma High School. This idea has been carried out throughout the year, and it is a noticeable fact, that although there have been less Freshmen class functions, the Freshmen have entered whole-heartedly into many Student Body activities. The Freshman dance at Christmas time proved to be one of the jolliest events of the year. Soon after that we lost our upper class- men, whose place was taken by the incoming Freshmen, who gave a promise of keeping up the pep and spirit of their class. The Freshmen took part in the plays, operas, and vaudevilles. They sacrificed their given date for their dance to the School Carni¬ val, but were active in making the carnival a big success. Nor have the Freshmen been idle in athletics. The Freshman girls gave the Seniors a close run for the basket ball championship. The boys made their presence felt in track, one of them, George Stud- dert, winning his block “P”. DORIS HOPKINS
