CLASS HISTORY ll is with considerable difficulty that the reminiscences of the first year of the life of the class of '23 are recalled. Nothing of much importance happened during this year. During the first year, shortly after Christmas, the entire school was saddened to hear of the death of one of our classmates, Gail O’Connor, who was a victim of the influenza. The next year the class came back with more enthusiasm than it had shown the year before. Now% most of the boys in the class got out for football and basketball. Not many of them got on the team. The Junior year was one of the best in the history of the class of ’23. During this year the spirit and enthusiasm began to assert itself. The thing which all the members of this class are proud of, is the Junior Prom, which the class gave. It was the most elaborate social event that took place during the year. The class set out to make it, “The Prom of Proms,” and everyone who attended the event agrees, with the class, that it was. One of the many new practices that originated with this class, was the inviting of all the members of the school to attend the Prom, and not only the seniors, as had formerly been the custom. More people enjoyed themselves at this Prom than had ever attended other Proms. On the fifth of September. 1022, the class began the fourth year of its life. More of the spirit of the class w'as showm than had ever been shown before. More enthusiasm and loyalty for the school was shown by this class than any before it. The Seniors now lead the other classes in all lines of work, whether in athletics, forensics, glee clubs or in the classes. Now that the year is ended and the Senior class has graduated, a feeling of sadness comes over them when they think that they must leave the school for which they have worked so long and so hard; while a feeling of gladness and of proudness comes over them when thev think that they have graduated from so great an institution as the Reedsburg High School. The class of ’23 will now have to sro out into the world taking with it the spirit of the class and of the Reedsburg High School. Page Fifteen
