J THE ORIOLE TT' f sf History of the Junior Class ln l924 we were a class of forty-four. The second day of school a class meeting was held to elect officers and our class advisors. President, Louise Lindsey: Vice President, Ellis Hard: Secretary, Donald Gouldg Treasurer, Mearl Kunklerg Class Advisors, Miss Ball and Miss Hicks. ln October the Sophomores gave a reception in our honor, after which we were not so bashful. During the year several class parties were held, at the homes of Marie Louise Gottschalk, Marion Boley, Arlene Dunton, and Florence Mc- Connell. The next year we were Sophomores, at the beginning of the year there were forty-two in our class. We elected officers, President, Martin Batesg Vice President, Leola Evardg Secretary, Myrtle Hall, Treas- urer Theodore Penoyer: journalist, Grace MacDonald, Class Advisor, Miss Rath. Later another meeting was called at which we chose the class motto Life is what you make it, class colors, blue and whiteg class Hower, lily. Early in the year we gave the Freshman a reception at the l. O. O. F. Hall. Not long after this we held a meeting to decide on what kind of rings we wanted. We selected green gold rings trimmed in white gold, and a cup was presented to the class which was to be given to the Honor student on graduation. About this time we had a sandwich sale, a baked goods sale, and did other things to earn money. Class parties held this year were at the homes of Arlene Dunton, Harold Smith, Theo- dore Penoyer and Olga Gilbert. ln the spring we gave a reception for the teachers. At the end of this year we left with thirty-nine in our class. Now we are juniors. Our class officers are: President, Mearl Kunklerg Vice President, Earl Vannoy: Secretary, Grace MacDonaldg Treasurer, Margaret Smithg Journalist, Martin Batesg Class Advisors, Miss Graf and Miss Rath. Arlene Dunton and Mary Zurbrugg entertained the juniors this year. Before Christmas vacation the rings came and were gladly received. Early in the spring school was closed a week because of the mumps. After we came back we had a sandwich sale, sold pompoms, had a baked goods sale, put on a moving picture showand held a dance at Quincy Grange Hall to get money to give the Seniors a banquet. The banquet was given the latter part of May and was a success. We all enjoyed ourselves very much at the Juniors and Seniors picnic. School closed in june. Everyone welcomed the vacation. 1 f 1 ill? 19 2 a My Page 27

J l ' THEORIOLE 1 N- Sophomore Class History After eight years of minor education, we entered the first stage of our High School career. There is an old saying to the effect that, The first hundred years is the hardest, with which we all agree. Although we were shy, we managed to call a class meeting and choose our class advisor and class officers, which were as follows: Advisor, Miss Parry, President, Ruth Blackman, Vice President, Elvin jones: Secretary, Dorothy Hickokg Treasurer, Esther Blackman. The first few days as Freshman left a rather hazy idea of what was to be done and how. And with all the confusion in going back and forth to classes, we were entirely at a loss. But everything gradually became clear and we began to realize what it was all about. Then we found out the other classes were having parties so we followed the style and had a party at the home of our president, Ruth Blackman. We were given a reception by the Sophomores at the l. O. O. F. hall. Here we became better acquainted and tried to feel as important as our fellow students. Soon we became aware of the fact that if we had any intentions of passing we had better settle down to work. So we strove hard to gain the marks that would meet with the approval of teachers and par- ents. ' After Christmas vacation, we were all in high spirits and to continue our good times we immediately had another party at the home of lda May lngram, at Marble Lake. Almost everyone intended to skate but due to the weather conditions, we entertained ourselves indoors. By this time we had lost all traces of being green or shy, but the sophomores, being one step ahead in our journey, still considered themselves superior to us. Another party was planned and held at the home of Helen Houghtaling. A large crowd attended, in- cluding a few prying Seniors and Sophomores who insisted upon bothering us. About this time the Teachers' Reception or Spring Party was given at l. O. O. F. hall. We did not like to think of seeing our beloved teachers depart though some left us for good, others came back to see us through another year of High School. We were immensely elated when we discovered that our class was to celebrate their first class picnic. Wishing to make it as important as possible, the nearby picnic grounds would never do, so we went to Lake james, indiana. The picnic went off great and we returned home satisfied. This capped the climax of our Freshman career, and we were good and ready for our summer vacation. When we entered school the following September we were no longer frivolous Freshmen, but industri- ous Sophomores, as some say. We once more chose our advisor and officers, who are: Advisor, Miss Suttong President, Eddie Hodgeg Vice President, Helen Houghtalingg Secretary, Otto Lucey Treasurer, Esther Blackman. 1 This year we have been more faithful to our studies, because we know work and study only can pro- duce satisfactory standings. But that does not necessarily mean we did not have festivities, because we most certainly started enjoying ourselves in spite of hard work. We first gave the Freshmen a reception. The High School and Faculty were invited. This party proved to be a big success as was reported by those who attended. Other parties of the year were held at the homes of Ruth Blackman and jane Gottschalk. Also, the Juniors invited us to a party held at the home of Arlene Dunton. This compliment was returned by inviting them to the home of Donald Struble. All the members of the Sophomore Class have done their bit in making this a year to be remembered at Quincy High. And we are pleased to think we have made so much progress. Our second year of High School finished, we are eagerly looking forward to the summer vacation, and our honored position as juniors the coming September. I Cv- ,,3 S Ill? 1 Q 2 3 My
