Svninr 0112155 llliatnrg F the graduating class of 19724 only three, Clifford Cline, Merrell Draper and Mena Bolton, were members of the class when it originally started in the Kindergarten at Plymouth. Seventy-five girls and boys wanted to be, and were, freshmen in 1920. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President, Helen Fish, vice- president, Marie Hahn, secretary, Clifford Clineg treasurer, NVinston Cooper. XfVe selected silver and blue as class colors and lily of the 'valley as class tlower, and also the class motto , Carpe diem. Our formal presentation to high scheol life cccurred on the evening of October 16 at the Freshman reception. The next year we were as proud to be Sophs as we were the year previous to become Freshies. At our Hrst class meeting we elected officers as follows: President, Helen Fish, vice-president, Mena Boltong secretary, Floyd Hustong treasurer, Marie Johnson. XYe also decided to leave our class colors, flower and motto as it was in the Freshman year. And now we were only one year behind the Seniors. Our officers were: Alton Sayles, president, Mena Bolton, vice-president, Douglas Carruthers, secretary, and Helen Fish, treasurer. Harold Stevens was elected president, but declined, not enough time, he said, but not all of us believed him. Our colors were changed to maroon and white and the flower to white carna- tion. During the latter part of the year we ordered our rings and pins, which, we are very proud to say, have become standardized for the school, though in a somewhat smaller pattern. 'llwo one-act plays, Two of a Kindu and lVho's the Boss? were given and the proceeds used for the Junior-Senior banquet which was served to one hundred and twenty-five people. A box social was also given, which netted a tidy sum. And now we are Seniors, spelled with a capital S. Thirty-three graduates and not a few sad ones among us as graduation days approach, for we are just beginning to realize how much our High School days mean to us. Senior officers are all boys: President, Clifford Cline, vice-president, Harold Stevens, secretary, James Hickey, treasurer, Alton Sayles. Maroon and white are again our colors, but the flower is changed to red and white roses. Our motto, Carpe diemf' meaning Pluck every' day, still stands by us as it has all during our High School. And now we leave High School and its good old days, and may we always remember old friends and old times and always keep in our thoughts our old class motto, Carpe diem. ' '
