fduninr Qllewn illintnrg N September, 1921, ninety-six students enrolled as Freshmen. At our first class meeting we elected Alice Leslie as presidntg Roma Fisher, secretary, and Pierre Kenyon, treasurer. The one big event of the year was the reception, at which the Seniors gave us a very cordial welcome into High School life. As Sophomores we chose for our class officers: Pierre Kenyon, presi- dent, Gladys Hake, vice-president, Margaret Amrhein, secretary, and Frank Millard, treasurer. XVe were well represented in football, boys' and girls' basket ball, track, public speaking and orchestra. Owing to the fact that there was such a large junior class, we decided to adopt a new form of class management, which is explained under the picture of the executive board. During the winter we had a sleigh ride party to Newburg and also entertained the Seniors at a skating party. On january 3, 1924, We pre- sented a play, Green Stockings, the proceeds of which added considerably to the fund we are raising for a trip to Washington, D. C., next year. VVe have increased this fund by selling hot dogs, candy, pop corn and apples at basket ball and football games, we have also sold carnations and chrysanthemums. From the fund so raised we hope to pay one-half the expenses of each individual on the trip. On May 16 we gave the annual Junior-Senior banquet. The speakers of the evening were: Toast to the Seniors-Mary Parrott. Toast to the Juniors-Clifford Cline. Toast to Faculty and Board-Louva Rowland. Response from Board-Evered Jolliffe. Response from Faculty-Katherine Schmid. Toast to the Boys-Dorothy Melowi. Toast to the Girls-James Hickey. Toast to Athletes-Ernest Ambrus.
