1 aa3 Hagflmuer Class History □□ X N the fall of 1919 the class of ’23 entered Plymouth High School as Freshmen, and caused con- siderable commotion among the upper classmen. For two or three weeks times were still troublesome. But after the new class was initiated by the upper classmen, things became settled again. After four or five days, the class, num- bering si xty-four , held a meeting and elect- ed David Gibson as our first President, Raymond Ball our vice-president, Helen Rantz, our Secretary, and Gladys Izor our Treasurer. During our first year we enjoyed several social events; a Hallowe’en party and a picnic. It was during this year that our capable actors, Mr. Ball and Mr. Seymour, made their first public appearance as “Mutt” and “Jeff”. As Sophomores of 1920, we emerged from the Freshman class, survived in spirit, but not in numbers, for our class had de- creased to the number of f orty- fou r. We were now free from that feeling of inferior- ity, and were better prepared to meet the new responsibilities, that we have had to meet during our high school life. During our second year, David Gibson again took the bench as president, Leonard Clizbc was his assistant, as vice-president, Helen Rantz was elected Secretary, and Edith Boyer, our treasurer. We contributed several members to the orchestra, glee clubs, operetta, and debating teams. We were well represented in Dec- lamation, as our classmate, Athalind Kelli - son won first in the Northern Indiana Dec- lamation contest. On September 5, 1921, we entered the assembly as a Junior class of thirty-nine. We had played the game for two years, and it was with pleasant anticipation, that w e looked forward to the Junior year. David Gibson was again elected president, William Gammons, vice-president, while Helen Rantz and Edith Boyer took their places as Secretary and Treasurer. One evening during the month of No- vember, the class journeyed to the home of Mrs. Boyer, our class adviser, to attend a party, at which our class pins and rings were presented to us. On February 8 the class was royally entertained at the home of our classmate, May Schlosser. This was a jolly “Kid party.” Our ambition to accomplish something was represented by our Junior class play, “My Lord In Livery,” given at the Rialto Theatre, February 28. One of our num- ber, Athalind Kellison, was also honored by appearing as the “Star” of the high school operetta. The finis of our Junior year was the glorious banquet, that we gave to the Seniors of ’22. It was wit h eagerness and longing that we looked forward to the time, when we would again enter P. El. S. and be enrolled as Seniors. Very soon, our Senior year opened be- fore us. The honor of being our first “Miss President” was bestowed upon our classmate, Mary Harris, while Raymond Ball was elected vice-president, Katherine Garn, Secretary, and Harry Scott, Treas On October 28, the class enjoyed a Hallowe’en party at the home of Mae Murgatroyd. A picnic in the spring, and our “Chemistry” dinner marked the last of our social events. The class of ’23 was well represented in Debating during the last year, as six of our number took part in the debate, and one of our number, Katherine Moore, in the Dis- cussion league. We also have had many members in the choruses, and one member on the Boys’ Quartette. For three years the class of ’23 had been living a more or less idealistic life. We have formed ideals and dreamed dreams. We are now “waiting on the threshold” of a new experience. Our high school course has opened new fields of opportunities (which would hardly have come to our vision in any other way). We have also acquired a training, which will help us to meet these opportunities, now open to us. We must take advantage of these if we are to suc- cessfully proceed along the pathway of life. We, the Seniors of 1923 bid farewell to the high school halls of our Alma Mater, and hope that we may give the largest pos- sible service to the world and thus find in life an everlasting joy, and success. Eva Webster. Seventeen
