18 The Pilgrim CLASS HISTORY Things had been gliding along quietly in P. H. S. for many years with only the occa- sional clipping of a meek Freshman's hair, or the disappearance of some Senior's brilliant class hat by some presuming underclassman. But suddenly a new order of things arose when the class of 'l 5 entered as Freshmen. The dignified upper classmen were, on the third day of our arrival, astounded to see several Freshmen fighting some of their number after one of the meek Freshmen had pulverized a Sophomore's weapon fa barrel stavej, had licked a Junior, and made a Senior run, they decided to let the Class of I9l5 entirely alone. So after this excitement, we, with our Nile Green and pink class colors, acting upon a friendly hint from a friendly member of the faculty, elected our officers. Our president proved to be none other than Chester Thompson, now famed for his wonderful oratorical voice. Chet guided our class faithfully but fearfully through our initial year. The first year we did not enter H. S. activities because we were Freshmen and too bashful to talk or even appear in public. Some of our more bold members did receive some distinction in athletics. Although our class was somewhat diminished at the beginning of the second year, we decided that we'd show the Class of i l 6 our strength. Only one tall, thin fellow, weighing about two hundred pounds, escaped. This year, we speedily elected Lloyd Keyser presi- dent. We demanded much attention in scholarship, and in athletics - our class even showed up the more polished Juniors and Seniors. By the time we were Juniors we about decided that we would show the class of ' l 4 a real model class. After electing Martin Ness president, we started by purchasing class hats of the unsurpassed, hamionizing colors, orange and blue, and also some nifty class pins. Our class B. B. Team was just about the School Team, too. We were represented in De- ibating, Oratory, and Track, and besides all this, we set the standard for scholarship, and, as a climax, we gave the Seniors an excellent banquet. Never did such a promising Senior class enter the P. H. S. as entered last September. Martin Ness, on account of his splendid oratory and good sound business ability, was again elected president: Carol Humrichouser was elected vice-president, that we might still make a noise if Ness should at any time be disabld. Grace Milner, who gave promise of being a splendid penman, was our secretary, and Arthur Cleveland was chosen treasurer - for we knew he would want an office too. Art also became president of the Student Council Ness an Honorary member, and Wise our spokesman. Marie Carothers was chosen editor- in-chief of the Pilgrim, and Ness its business manager. We are confident that we have as- sisted in making this year successful in Basketball, Track, Debating, Oratory and Scholar- ship. We have all worked so hard Ol, that any one will say, on looking at us, Oh, over-worked Seniors! As a monument to our splendid career we are going to bring out a Senior Annual of superior quality, and as a crowning feature, we are about to give the play, The Colonel's Maid. And now, that our commencement is near, the volume of our history will be forever closed. C1.ia1'1s HAMMAKER.
