The Hassayamfler C lass History HOW different it seemed to be Freshmen! Well we remember the first day, when we stood a frightened group, listening to the terrible, exag- gerated tales of the Sophomores and Seniors. But the time was not long before we felt at home and were holding our own with the wise upper classes. We were lead in our defenses by our president, Wells Heap, ably assisted by Anna Healy, the vice-commander. Our class consisted of fifty, every one of whom remembers the “all-day-sucker-party ” given by the Seniors, it was our class that showed marked talent at entertaining when we gave the school a dance with a lively program to start the evening. I believe all enjoyed it even though they hated to make such an admission to the “Freshies.” We entered the Sophomore class, fewer in number, but with a much stronger spirit, for it was this year a long vacation was inflicted upon us by the influenza quarantine, and we all realized the necessity of sticking together for the short time that remained to us. As a result, we have this Senior class to offer, of which everyone is proud to be a member. In this year we reversed our class officers. Anna Healy became leader, with Wells Heap assisting. Then Juniors! Second only to the one class, but our role still growing smaller. Again we chose Wells to lead us, and Anna to preside in his absence. After much rehearsing it was found impossible to give the Junior play, “The Importance of Being Ernest,” because of illness in the cast, and our hero’s departure for Texas. So instead, a vaudeville was given, which made a tre- mendous hit and produced the coveted gold necessary to finance our Junior From. This social event, we were pleased to be told, was one f the most attractive parties ever given in the Prescott High School. For variety’s sake we gave the Senior class a picnic in place of the more formal banquet, which had been the custom of many former classes. Here was read the prophecy of the C'lass of ’20. And then, at last looking down on the lower classmen from the heights of our superiority, we are Seniors. Only fifteen of us have stood the test of time, seven joining us in the last two years. Sorry were we all to lose Maxine Davis, our famous basketball guard, and Jack Mills, the Senior comedian, who were among the most popular students in school. Again Anna leads the chorus of our grand finale, with our football hero, “Lefty” Thompson, to assist her. And now P. H. S. we are leaving you and it is time to say “Good-bye!” HELEN BLAIN. ’21.
