CLASS HISTORY ln the fall of 1920, four score and ten bashful, timid children first set foot inside the portals of Sanger Union High School. The vastness of our new hall of knowledge filled us with awe and wonder. The scattered mem- bers of our class were brought together for their first attempt at organization, September 29, l920 and the following officers were chosen: Walter Tipton, Presilent: Lois Allen, Vice-President, Anna Curran, Secretary: Eloise Pool, Treasurer. Thus the only Freshman class of 1920 came into being. After being duly initiated, a reception was given in our honor. At this time the upper classmen enlightened Us with some of the many mysteries of etiquette. To show our appreciation and how much we had learned from their examples and teaching we gave them a reception in return. After having gone through many trials and tribulations along with our pleasures, we were ready for a vacation. So endeth the first year. With the new year our number had diminished to three score and ten. We set out with much planning for the year l922. We now had another step to climb, and to help us along we chose our' banner of old rose and black. Our officers for the year were: President, Lois Allen, Vice-President, Kathryn Cole: Secretary, Frances Pruntyg Treasurer, Allen Barringerg Ser- geant at Arms, Charles Byrd: Yell Leader, Walter Tipton. We showed our artistic ability by winning second prize in the Legion Day Parade. This in- creased our wealth by ten dollars, which we could very well put to use. Our gift to the Student Body was a statue, The Appeal to the Great Spirit. Our dramatic ability was here displayed in the play, ln the Spring A Young lVlan's Fancy. ln order to bid each other fond farewell till the next year, we had a very delightful picnic. Thus we had climbed another rungg and so endeth the second year. Our Junior year was one of the best and peppiest years of our school life. We were successful in most of our contests with the other classes. The Juniors came out victorious in the inter-class football game, yelling contest, and the girls' basketball. Early in the year we had a weinie roast at Reed- ley Beach. Here we had some trouble in keeping tagging members of other classes away. On January 9, we gave our class play, Green, Stockings. This proved a great success. It was another big event of the year when we received our class rings and pins. They will aways be cherished by us all. On May 25, we entertained the Seniors at a banquet. With this our activities for the year closed and we parted, knowing that we would be together just one more year. The officers for our Junior Year were: President, Allen Bar- ringerg Vice-President, Edith Reeseg Secretary, Verda Bullisg Treasurer, Blanche Grimes. v The Senior Year has been one of much work, and so we have been kept very busy. Along with our work there have been many good times, and

It seems but a day since we entered the school that has led us onward for four years. But in that day we feel that we have accomplished a great deal and We are now beginning to feel a small portion of the burden of respon- sibility. When We sum up the events of the four short years we find that it has all been worth while. We are glad that we have obtained the advantages of a high school education. Such is the message we would leave with the students who are now seeking the goal that we sought and gained. Stick to the job and the job will bring rewards. It is all over and we can say that high school is a four year circus as well as a workshop, --high school where love affairs are cultivated, enmities terminated and friendships accumulated. W. T. '24. ASSEMBLY Something should be told about the great number of peppv assemb- lies, which we have had. Some of these in connection with our Constitution study were speeches on the Constitution and American ideals. It is now a state requirement that every year in all the classes of the high schools, a certain amount of time be spent in the studv of the Constitution Cseventy-1 two hours in case of Seniors, thirty-six for all othersl. Sanger High School has gone into this subject very thoroughly, taking up the Constitution, an article at a time, and not leaving that article until every one' was able to pass a test on it. On account of this work it was all the more interesting to hear the views of these different speakers on the subject. Une rnan told us about the framing of the Constitution, others dwelt on the students' relation to the government. We have also had many interesting assemblies along the entertain- ment line. The Girls' League put 'on some very good programs and the Hi-Y Boys staged a mock trial concerning the stealing of twenty-five cents from the trouser pocket of Mr. Homrighausen. Chester lVlcl'laley or the one they thought was Chester was charged with the crime. It was discov- ered that they had arrested Lester lVlcl-laley instead of Chester. ln the confusion, Chester, who was serving pn the jury, escaped. Mr. Glass, the physical education instructor served as judge. Two other assemblies worthy of special mention are the piano recital given us by Daniel Popovich of Fresno, and the talk delivered by a forest- ranger on the preservation of the National Forests. All the students of Sanger High unanimously pledged themselves to help take ctre of the forests. F. '26.

now towards the end of the year come regrets at leaving. Our class officers for this year were: Roger Taylor, Presidentg Francis Prunty, Vice-President: Lois Allen, Secretaryg Clifford Butler, Treasurer. The Class Play was Come Out of the Kitchen , which was given with great success. Now as we leave thee we bid a fond farewell and hope to meet again in some other Path of Life. CLASS WILL '24 We, the Class of '24 of the Sanger Union High School, after no sleep- less nights and after four years of strife and inconsistent labor, still of sound mind, fbut expecting to changej, hereby give notice of our decision concern- ing properties belonging to our class and individuals thereof.
