THE NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE TIGER The History of Our Class Dear Father Time: When we entered High School as Frosh in 1919, little did we think that you could turn your great wheel so swiftly. You have never made four years fly as fast as you did these last fourg at least, so it seems to us. So many things have happened during this time that we can tell you about only a few of them. It took us a full year to get used to our new school, and, as Freshmen, we didn't do very much, besides annoying our worthy superiors, except perhaps having a party and a picnic. When we were tenth graders, we felt so sophisticated tl'at we thought activities and parties were below us. So we only had the almost required class partv. But, as Juniors, we suddenly acquired a little common sense and decided to make our class of '23 renowned. Early in the year we gave a benefit movie, Wedding Bells, and because of the enthusiastic ticket-selling campaign, there was a full house. We gave several dances which were enioyed both by High School and College students. Quite often we had Eskimo pie sales to refresh our wearv school-mates. Several members of our class gave a play entitled Neighbors before the afternoon assembly of all the students. The play was very humorous and the cast kept their audience laughing. Oh yes, we were a very enterprising class. Then, of course, the big Prom, given May 12 for the class of 22, was a glorious ending to that year. The gym was decorated elaborately with yellow and white, the class colors of '22, being divided into two distinctive parts. A four course banquet was served at six-thirty. The programs were unique and of course the banquet was excellent. Dancing and cards made a fitting ending. Leslie Butler, John Dillon, Glenn Konow, Betty Evans, and Reuben Witt repre- sented us in debateg Harold Hamley in basketball, Harold Hamley, Floyd Fortnum, Herbert Wallschlacger, John Dillon, and George Oyster in football. Two of our class won places in the declzmatory contest, namely: Betty Evans and Edythe Simmons. Tlien Betty represented us at Princeton, Waupun, and Oshkosh. Harold Hamley was the editor-in-chief of the Spectator the last semester of our Junior year. In the second month of our Senior year we gave the Teacher's Reception which was also a Hallowe'en party. First all went to the auditorium where they enjoyed a movie, Romeo and Juliet? After the movie the teachers were entertained in the gym and refreshments were served. Again Betty Evans and Edythe Simmons won first and second places in .the de- clamatory contest and Harold Hfimley received first place in the ormtorical contest. Doris Tucker was the editor-in-chief of the Spectator. Leland Tabbcrt was the athletic manager both last year and this year. There, Father Time, I have told 5ou of everything I could tliink of, if I have for- gotten anyone who is deserving praise, you will probably hear of him later. With the guidance of Miss Silver the first two years, and of Miss Griffiths the last two, as our faculty advisors, we have followed a straight upward path and now as Seniors, we feel that our career as High School students has not been in vain. Most of us are now going to institutions of higher learning, but we will never forget the four years we spent as students of our dear Ripon High School. THE SENIORS OF '23. Page Twenty-six '
