President, LYNN PARKINSON Vice-President, HAROLD NOWELS Secretary, HELEN WARNER Treasurer, HAROLD HALLECK SOPHOMORES Class Motto— Always Ready. Class Colors — Old Rose and If hite. CLASS HISTORY On the fourth day of September, 1916, eighty boys and girls gathered at the High School building to enter the green pathway of Freshman life. We did not enter our High School career in fear and trembling, as some classes before us have done, for we knew that our old friend, Mr. Coe, had become principal and would see us through. Our class was so large we could not all find seats in the assembly, so an annex was formed in the adjoining room, where a few of us pur- sued our studies in peace and quietness. A class meeting was held for the election of officers, Harold Nowels being enthusiastically chosen President. We selected as our colors Old Rose and White, and our motto “Always Ready. ' Of course, we had a class party, which was held in the gymnasium. A very enjoyable affair it proved to be, though with the usual diversion, of hair-cutting by the upperclassmen. The year passed pleasantly and profitably, giving us slight insight into the mysteries of Algebra and Latin, so improving our spelling that we were able to rival even the Seniors in orthography, and leaving with us many happy memories of our Freshman life. How proud we were when September came again, and once more we met in the High School halls, this time as Sophomores, no longer the objects of taunts from the upperclassmen, but privileged ourselves to look with disdain upon the Fresliies. The number in our class was slightly diminished, as several had dropped out and one had married. Our leader this year was Lynn Parkinson, who has certainly dis- charged his duties with “pep” and ardor. We are exceedingly proud of the fact that one of our boys made the basketball team and has proven himself a star. The remaining joys and sorrows of the class of 1920 are left for the future to reveal. GLADYS CARR, ' 20. TWENTY-SEVEN
