At last we were ready to take the big step into High School. On that fatal Sep- tember morning, in the year 1919, we gathered one by one, until thirty-two Freshmen had assembled. Many of us had never been in a building larger that a district school house. and the upper classmen did all they could to add to our fright. VVe were put to work immediately, and, oh! the tasks they expected us to perform! VVe carried our books home as if each day was our last, or we were afraid of having our cherished lesson stolen. VVe didn,t even take time to elect officers during that busy lirst year. A few of our number auto- matically dissolved relationship with us before the report cards were given out. and a second group were helped out at the end of the year. The panting remainder welcomed a much-needed vacation and began to tell how easy it was to get by in high school. In the autumn of 1920 we assembled with far more confidence and brag- gadocia than ever before for sincelg we were Sophomoreg we had mastered one year, we could now cut class with safety once a semester, altogether, we were quite pleased with ourselves throughout this year. VVe allowed two or three more comrades to backslide, but on the whole we established a record for expediency in all lines from spring poetry to gum-chewing. As Juniors, we had our uprisings and downsettings. VVhat the Seniors didn't know, we attempted to tell them. And more often than they cared to confess, we did it. We ventured into the field of drama, presenting In NValked Jimmy. For further information, consult sundry notices not yet painted over in the Community Theatre. We also entered boldly into the various activities so attractive to this pre-dignitatus stage, and, as a conse- quence, reserved several half units of credit to be acquired at a later date. But we weren't a bunch to be ashamed of, and only missed becoming the teachers' pets by a very few points. Our banner year witnessed an assemblage of only fifteen students, with a sixteenth enrolling during the second week. Of these, only twelve were members of the original class of thirty-two timid Freshmen. At the first class meeting Williani Luking was elected president, Leo Eaton vice-presi- dent, Harold Herschelman secretary-treasurer, and Mrs. Vernon class ad- viser. .llllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllillllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllbtllllllllllllllltlllllllllll llllllllllllll lllHlllIllllullll1IlllllllIIllIIlllIIIIllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIllIIlllIllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllli
