CLASS HISTORY OF '24 In the 'fall of 1919, a class of awkward, frightened and bashful chil- dren entered the Princeton High School to begin, what has proved to be, an illustrious career. We held a class meeting and elected Arthur Bolz as our president. We learned during this year to tumble down stairs with the speed of bullets shot out of cannons, but we also found a teacher stationed at the foot of each stairway. As Freshmen, a step higher on the ladder, we chose Theodore Klatt as our leader. By this time we had fully comprehended the advantages and privileges that the High School offered. Social affairs had not as yet be- come an important part in our school program. The next year we were classified as Sophomores and began to feel like young men and women. We were no longer ridiculed by the upper classmen or looked down upon as little Preps or Freshies and felt perfectly at ease in looking twice at the same girl. Arthur Bolz served his second term of administration in this year. We were well represented in athletics, especially track and basketball. The most important event during our Sophomore year was the Sight Reading Contest, play and banquet. Elizabeth Dunham won first place in the contest for the girls and Cyril Dreman for the boys. At the beginning of our Junior year we placed Marjorie McDermand on the throne. This year was very eventful and class spirit was empha- sized strongly. We were well represente-d in track, basketball and foot- ball. The Junior Declamatory Contest held an important part in the his- tory of our class. Augustine Scott carried off first honors in the girls' contest and Arthur Bolz in the boys'. Social affairs were many. The Junior-Senior and Senior-Junior parties were well attended by both classes, The Senior-Junior picnic could well be called a farewell party for the Class of 1923. It was held at Glen Oak Park, Peoria, Illinois. The trip was made in automobiles and greatly enjoyed by one and all. Coming back to school in September, 1923, we realized that our High School life would soon be at an end. We needed an able minded leader and elected Cyril Dreman as our Chief Executive. We were kept busy during this year with the publication of The Annual, which we have dedicated to Miss Stetson, Assistant Principal, in appreciation of her kind guidance and help. Our class numbers seventy-six, the largest class that has ever graduated from the Princeton Township High School. The Senior play, Clarence was given at the Opera House on April 25, 1924. Under the guidance of Miss Stinson, Miss Cline and Mr. Little, our class counselors, and Mr. Black, our principal, we feel that our Senior year has been a success. We would like to make mention of a certain member of our class, Charles Uthoff, who has made a perfect record in punctuality. It has become known that he has never been tardy during his complete school 1..i.-11ii-1111.-...iqlqiu-...tail-.-1.--..........-..1ppipl1gq-.gn p1..1..-.gg-...linin-lqilgllp.
