Class History 0 ELL. well, Seniors! Here we are ready to graduate! Who would ever dream that we could ac- complish so much in so short a time? In reality it has been four years since we entered the good old Washington Build- ing fee I in’ kind»’ little and out of place. Remember the good old times we hail in that assembly; how the teachers stood in front at morning and noon to see that we behaved. And oh, those double seats! Sometimes you would have a Sophomore for your seatmate and you would feel so big and important. Then one day the Bixel boys entered. We wondered what school they were from; which boy was which; who was the older; how tall they were; and numerous other things. Don’t you think our class is endowed with talent? I nderclassmen, you must acknowledge that such is the fact after we have stated our activities. Our musical ability is so well shown by the great numbers of the Senior class in the Band and Glee Clubs. About half of the orchestra are members of the Senior Class. What will they ever do without us next year? We have also been repre- sented on the boys’ quartette of ’23 and ’24. the girls’ quartette of '25 and ’26, and on the Ye Pilgrim Staff each year. The class ot ’26 has won many honors through its literary skill. Ina won first place in the oratorical contest during our Sophomore year; Victoria represented the school in oratory in 25; Bertha represent- ed the school in debate in '25. The Lincoln Essay Contest was won by members of our class. Vcrda took second place in ’26 and Victoria second place in ’25 and first in ’26. Then there were the essays from the Home Economics Department sent to Purdue University. Rebecca won first and Helen second. There were a goodly number of the class sent to the Purdue Round-up each year and one of our mem- bers was honored by being sent to the State Fair School at Indianapolis. 0 In the High School plays, “Clarence” and “Second Childhood”, our rare quali- ties as actors were displayed. Let’s not forget the parties we had; most enjoyable times of all. Always we had a picnic at the close of school when Pretty Lake seemed to call. The Hal- lowe’en festivals, too, we always enjoyed. Though the last two years a masquerade took its place at a later date so the foot- ball boys could join in the celebration. Ho-bos, dancers, little girls of all nations, and men and women of Washington’s day made merry those nights. We dare not forget the Junior-Senior Banquet we gave. Not only our class, but many of the other classes have said that it was the loviest banquet ever given. The decorations had much to do with its success. Surely the Alumni thought this so, for did they not buy the decorations as they were? This is the third year for the Athletic Association. Each year found a member of our class an officer—Hal as President for this year and Ina and Bob as yell leaders for the past two years. Our officers for the four years were as follows: President, Alfred '2.?; Hal '24. ’2s, 26; Vice-President, Hal '23; Harold M., ’24; Ina '25, ‘26; Secretary, Rebecca '23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Treasurer, Helen ’23. '24; Harold B. '2S, 26. Last, but not least, we have the basket ball years. For our Junior year we won both girls’ and boys’ Inter-Class Tourna- ments. This last season of Basket Ball cannot be praised too highly. YVe know you are all proud, but we are especially so when four of the “Fighting Five” are Seniors. Class of ’26, will we ever forget these years? No, we cannot, for they are woven into our lives for all time. We hope we have set a fair example for you, underclassmen, and that your coming years will bring you as much happiness as those years we are now leaving. —11 tlni Tanner. 25
