HISTORY OF CLASS OF ,24 On a beautiful September morning in the year 1920, the Class of '24, a green and bewildered group numbering fifty-seven entered Red Oak High School. Although our first year was marked by many crazy experiences, on our part, causing the amusement of the more experienced students, it was also remarkable for many changes. During this year the present high school build- ing was completed, and it was with much pleasure that we left the old building to the elementary grades. To this year also belongs the organization of Red Oak's first football team. WVhen we met as Sophs the next Fall, we realized that we had lost, not only our honorary member, Miss Benton, but many of our own number as well. But under the leadership of Mr. Kesler, our new honorary member, and with our energetic spirit, we determined to show the rest of the school that our days of insignihcance had ended with the fading of our greenness. YVe proved this on the athletic field, where several of our members starred, as well as in the class room. Returning for our junior year, we found things much as they had been before, in many respects. We still had our same superintendent, Mr. Creech, and our former principal, Mr. Young. Although several more of our mem- bers failed to return, others came to join us, so our number was not greatly changed. The Valentine party given in our honor by Miss Boyd, our new honorary member, and Mary Beal: as well as the campfire supper at Riverside Park. at which time we entertained the seniors of '23, are events to be remem- bered during this year. WVhen the Fall of 1923 found us at Red Oak in the role of seniors, we learned that our ranks were considerably thinner than the year before, yet we numbered twenty-eight, the largest senior class in the history of the school. At this time we found plenty of work in store for us, for in addition to our regu- lar school work, there was the senior play, which we gave in February, and also the annual, which we published in the Spring. But realizing that, All work and no play makes .lack a dull boy, Miss Boyd, still our honorary member, little Ellen McIntyre, our Mascot, the Junior Class, and several of our other friends delightfully entertained us on various occasions. Looking back now as we come to the parting of the ways, we realize how much we have enjoyed our four years together, and feel that the time spent here has not been in vain, but of the utmost profit to us.
