CLASS HISTORY '24 Gunnison, Colorado. January 10, 1954. Dear Gladys, Do you still remember the Class of Twenty-four? Doesn't it give you pleasure to recollect the achievements of the best class ever? Re- member that day in September 1920 when we went to high school as Fresh- men? I remember how foolish I felt as I meekly asked Mrs. Ridgeway where the Freshmen were to sit. It was a large class that started as Freshmen. Miss Wadell kindly sponsored us and kept us from making many mistakes. Our first classgmeeting was orderly as we chose Joe Stewart presidentg Norman Parker vice presidentg Myrtle. Jacobson secretary-treasurerg and Donald Evans athletic councilman. Our first social event was a Hallowe'en masquerade party given at the Legion Hall. I still laugh when I remember that awfful blunder I made. Oh, how we did argue when we chose our debating team! I-Iow hil- ariously happy we were when our team was victorious. When we found out we were to take mid-year exams, wc renewed our efforts to pass them. Then when these were over we studied less diligently until the final exams. When our last report cards were given out some of us were sad and others were glad. When school began again we were Sophomores, fifty nine strong. Under the able leadership of Miss Ruth Rubin we survived the year. Our class meeting were more orderly that year. John Mohrman was elected presi- dentg Ernest johnson was his assistantg Norman Parker kept our valuable annals and Mildred Davidson took charge of our money. Ula Handshy and jim Dilley were our athletic councilors. We wanted people to know we were around and chose jim Dilley as yell leader. It was in that year that our class won renown as baseball players. Guy Edmondson was our leader. Do you still remember how angry I was when our debating team was de- feated by the little Freshmen? But our victory was to come in the drama- tic. humorous and oratorical contest. How we did yell when our class carried off three places, two of them being first. The class of twenty-four seems to like Hallowe'en parties. The party was held in the Assembly Hall and was an immense success. How greatly shocked we were at the sudden death of Lois Shelton, our class mate! Never, never shall I forget what a sweet and charming class- mate she was. At the end of the year we gave a picnic at Wellsville. When we 11ext assembled in high school we were Juniors. How joyfully we assembled and after choosing our leaders and ofhcers, we began to plan for the big event, the junior-Senior banquet. Wallace Cole was our president that year. We chose Arthur Garrelts vice-president, Ida Miller as secretary, Francis Mahar, as treasurer, and Ruby Rumsey and Fay Lang as athletic councilors. It was the first year of football and the Juniors were prominent on the field. What class spirit and pep we showed! We all came out pretty well in the test. The banquet was the only topic talked about. At last the day arrived. NNE all assembled at the Rainbow Hotel. Exclamations of pleasure greeted
