Bistorp of Class of 1915 7 .vtandr for ffuniors and M for llflollie, The one fwhom the juniors appointed their queen, Size said there fwas nefuer a class quite Jo jolly, AJ the one .vlze liked best,--the class ofjifteen. The Class of 1915 entered the Red Oak High School the third day of Sep- tember, Nineteen Hundred and Eleven. The class had previously had its graduation from the eighth grade, May twenty-ninth at the High School Auditorium. Fifty-six members were graduated from the eighth grade. There are seventy-six pupils in the new Freshman class. The class officers were Harvey Spears, presidentg Elsa Foster, vice-presidentg Doris Rapp, secretary, and Laura Ostrom, treasurer. Doris Rapp was also class representative for the Acorn and we think that if ever a Freshman class was roasted, it was ours, for every issue of the Acorn brought some new cartoon or poem illustrating our greenness. It didn't take us long, however, to overcome this disease. Several class parties were held that year and a picnic during the summer at Clara Gibler's home. Mary Palmer honored the class by winning a silver medal in the Declamatory contest. The class as a whole thought that the Freshman year had been successful after all. Our class had somewhat decreased in the number of pupils by the Sophomore year, having only fifty-seven members. We were glad that we hadreached the place where we could feel superior to the Freshmen. ' The class during the second season had more parties even than the dignified and fun-loving Senior class of '13. Marjorie Madden v. as made president to fill the va- cancy caused by the leaving of Russel Rickelton. The vice-president was De Vere Horton, Merrill Olson was treasurer and secretary. The girls' basket ball team made quite a showing that year, winning the class championship over the Freshmen and Juniors, fthe Seniors having no team.J The class celebrated the closing of school by a picnic at the home-of Mrs. Erickson, northeast of the city. And now we come to our Junior year, almost the best year of all for we are not stately like CCP! Crefer to Miss Kramerb the Seniors or like the modest little Fresh- men or retiring like the Sophomores, but just jolly Juniors. We have still fewer mem- bers now in our class. Luther Erickson is our president, Jack Longstreet, vice-presi- dent, and Gladys Hill, secretary and treasurer. We have had several enjoyable class affairs and some of the Junior boys have created a little Tornado by their publication of The Wind during the three years of High School, several members have left our class for various reasons, some going to vlork, so-ne moving to other cities, and even one entering the matrimonial state. W'e have now forty members left. Our Junior year has been highly prosperous, no seed falling on unproductive brains, and we have enjoyed ourselves immensely fin all except exams.J lg' U 1 -Y
