CLASS CHRONICLE Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! The memorable history of the renowned Class of Twenty-six. When that we, as Freshmen, did number three hundred and sixty, little did we wist that, as Sophomores we would number two hundred and ninety-two, as Juniors two hundred and sixty, and finally as Seniors, one hundred and eighty-five,— the survival of the fittest,—this same being the last class e’er to enter Saginaw High School as Freshmen and twice to hear the sorrow of being the humblest class in the school. A. D. 1922-23 This year, the Class of ’26 did with due success begin its conquest in the realm of high learning amid the jests and taunts of its elders. Sept. 5 This day did we enter upon our duties as Freshmen. Nov. 14 This day the class elected its officers. The highest honor was given to Virginia Frueh. Second honors were bestowed upon Geraldine Medler. As our scribe we chose Dorothy Schade. To Curt Gottschalk was intrusted the class funds, at that time very small. Feb. 16 A merrie event took place in the Freshman Frolic which was enjoyed by not a few. May 4 On this day did one of us fitly represent his class in the annual declamation contest. June 12 The Gym Exhibition, in which many of our number took part, was a series of enjoyable feats including the famous dumb-bell exercises. June 21 Our Freshman year did here come to a happy close. A. D. 1923-24 Sept. 5 Our Sophomore year did here begin. Oct. 1 This day we did choose our class leaders for the coming year.

GRADE XIIB President .........Milton Diamond Treasurer .........Chester Haeger Vice-President .......Alice O’Brien Student Council........Irma St. John Secretary ............Helen Butzin Student Council...Edwin Zacharias About the year 1918 in many public schools all over the city, a movement started that divided the grades into two distinct groups, classes A and B. It was at this time that the mid-year class of 1927 was forming in the grammar schools through- out the city. After having passed through three distinct stages—entering the old Central School as freshmen, passing into the new Junior High, and entering Saginaw High School as sophomores—we have reached the fourth and last stage, that stage which was our goal in the grammar school. In another short half year we, the members of the mid-year class of 1927, will be the first class in Saginaw to graduate in the middle of the year. Let us make a name for our class, and make the day that we graduate from Saginaw High School as big a graduation day as any held in June. MILTON DIAMOND.
