Page Eighteen THE FLAMBEAU Sophomores, ’22-’23 We came hack in the fall with a sure and steady step for we were Sophomores. The first meeting was called September 11. 1922, by our adviser. Miss Hamilton. The former officers having fulfilled their task of the first year so competently were re-elected. We held a Halloween party in the Auditorium October 30. It proved a success as everyone declared they had a good time. We held a social at Salem Hall in November, which proved quite successful for the first attempt. November 15. a special meeting was called to elect a new president. Willard Crist, our former president had left us. August Miller was elected. Another important meeting was called for the choosing of Class Motto and Colors. The blue violet was chosen as Class Flower, Brown and White as colors, and “Deeds not Words’’ our Motto, which we hope to have followed. A sleigh-ride was enjoyed by all, January eleventh. The mid-term exams once more tried to take away our bright smiles, but we conquered like warriors of old. We finished a very successful year. —Exit Sophomores. Juniors, ’23-’24 We filed into Miss Bailey’s room as respected Juniors, the green long since worn off. Nature’s law, “Survival of the Fittest,” seems to lx applied directly to us. The smallest class, but fit for the hardest task. Our first meeting was held and officers were elected. President...........................A. Miller Vice President.... ................C. Slattery Secretary..........................A. Hetrick Treasurer............................E. Kemp Class Conductor............... .....J. Harter The Juniors, a jolly bunch, enjoyed making people happy. They gave their party to the school and faculty, October 26. Everyone enjoyed a fine time. The Christinas vacation was needed to give such studious pupils a rest, but we were glad to come back to school and—(exams). The class gave a play entitled “Excuse Me.” It was very successfully put over by an excellent cast. The profits from the play were used for the Junior-Senior reception. We entertained at (Jreenwood Park, May 21. Sports, dancing and music were the main features—and eats, of course. —Exit Juniors. Seniors, ’24-’25 We had reached the final goal as we well knew when we came back to Sandy High for the last fleeting year. Though we were dignified and sedate, the little frightened Freshmen brought back pleasant memories. We, now, partly realized the duties that a Senior has cast upon him in preparing for the future. The following class officers were elected: President............................E. Kemp Vice President.......................D. Lewis Secretary............................M. Smith Treasurer •.......................F. Engell We held a social in November at Oklahoma Hall. It

Dedicated to the Class of ’25 Freshmen, ’21-’22 It hasn't been long, just four short years ago, we entered Sandy High as shy little Freshmen. e were hailed on all sides by, “Lost, greenie?” ••Off the grass, greenie!” “Wrong room, greenie!” Yes, that is what they said to us. With time and guidance from our teachers we became accustomed to our places. We made the other classes see we came for business bv holding a class meeting, October 12. 1921. The officers elected were: Willard Crist, Nora Bailey, Avis Hetrick and Hladys Emerick. Those elected were proud to be the officers of such a “gang”, and did their best to guide them through their first timid steps. We stepped out by giving a Hallowe’en party, October 31, to the school and Faculty. We were complimented on being such tine hosts. The Christmas holidays soon passed and we came back for mid-term. Those were the dreary days. But we managed to pull through as only “we” could. The days flew past and we found ourselves in front of the photographer—you see time was bringing us to the end of the term and we were to honor the Seniors by allowing them to have our pictures for The Flambeau. The first of June we came back for the last time as “(Ireenies”. —Exit Freshmen.

THE FLAMBEAU Page Nineteen proved a humming success. The Christmas vacation and “mid-term” passed like the flying wind. The Flambeau play, “Mr. Bob,” was a bowling success. We hope The Flambeau will be as successful. The Senior play soon followed, “Hurry. Hurry, Hurry.” It did not fall down in the reputation made by previous plays given at S. H. S. The (iraduating exercises and activities and our four glorious years together as a class, we pass out never to return again as Students of Sandy, realizing that “Knowledge is proud because she knows so much, Wisdom is humble because she knows no more.” —Avis Hetrick, ’25. CLASS PROPHECY Dreams to Awake Year—1935. Date—May 2( . “Ten years tonight since I graduated from Sandy High, I wonder if my classmates remember,” I mused as I glanced at the calendar. “A letter for you, Miss Nora,” said the little maid. (dancing at the post-mark I saw the name of my old home town, DuBois, Pennsylvania. Opening it, I read: DuBois, Pa. May 24, 1935. Dear Nora: Do you remember the day in Professor Attinger's study hall that I told you of my ambition to tour the world! I have carried out that ambition, and it has taken me exactly ten years. During my travels I met every student in the class but you, so I am writing to find out what von are doing in the State of Vermont. The month of May always brings memories of our graduation; it hardly seems possible that ten years have passed since that time. It was so interesting to meet all my old school chums and to find out their occupations. The first person I met was Anthony Talasky, in New York. He has a chain of garages extending from coast to coast. He informed me that Andrew owned a silver mine in Nevada and that he had married Olive Stiteler. Visiting Nevada I looked them up and they have a little girl that reminds me of Margaret Smith—always talking, you know. I met Margaret in Boston. She is an elocutionist and hasn’t found a Romeo vet. My tour through China is one that certainly is worth while mentioning, for I mot Neil Walters, lie has become an accomplished scientist ami author. My visit in California gave me the pleasure of meeting Dan Lewis and Fred Engell. They are in the fruit growing business. They always were fond of peaches. You wouldn’t know Fred, for he is a three-hundred weight. I found Dan without a wife but he said he still had an eye for the women. Fred is married to a Mexican girl who has a mysterious past. While in Chicago 1 attended a style show. It was a very elaborate affair; the models were dressed beautifully. Who do you suppose they were? Etha (iuiher and Catherine Ellis. They always were the models of our class. Etha is a divorced woman and Catherine is still single, but still has many suitors.
