rat jp Efauf rise v that rm HBO? ii! ! o 0 M Senior Class H1story OUR years ago it would have been hard to believe that our jour- ney through High School was to be such a pleasant, successful, and satisfactory one. We, the Class of 1924, entered High School with the idea of accomplishing what we undertook to do. Did we do it? Listen and you will see clearly how we carried out our aim. In the year of 1920 we became members of the student body of Sheffield High School. We were Freshies and, perhaps a little green. The commands of Go on , This is not one's funeral, and the like, fell unheedingly on our ears. Where do we go and what do we do now were-the only questions we wanted to have settled. Louise Schweitzer, a member who has since left us, was always a good guide. She would look around, find a room, and cry out in the midst of every- thing, Come in here. I guess this is where we go. Dorothy Ritchie was chosen as our first president. Gilbert Gustafson became prominent in dramatics, and showed his ability in the play, Strongheart. We had representatives from our class on the Basket Ball Team. Dot Johnston won a Basket Ball Letter. We, indeed, started a renowned career. It was considered then, as now, a great honor to belong to our class. Many important events happened during our Sophomore year. VVe won fame in Basket Ball. The leading man in the High School play, The Gold Bug, was one of our classmates. W'e started some social events in our High School. Do you recall our party? There is no doubt that it was a complete success. During this year, Bernice O'Leary served as president. We were slowly creeping through the halls of fame. The Junior year was full of happenings. The path was sometimes strewn with hard work and hard knocks, but we bore these with a smile and a grin. VVe were represented on everything. The other classes were beginning to realize how important we were. Our class rings! Our parties! Our Junior Prom! Worry and worry but everything ended satisfactorily. Thanks to you, Goofey, for your helpful guidance during this year! We realize now that it was enough to break any ordinary man's life but we all know that you are extraordinary. We are now on our last stretch of High School. We are proud to think we are so near graduation but still there is a sadness felt by all of us in leaving S. H. S. This year the Seniors have been taking a prominent part in every acticity. We have a famous basket ball team. 24

The Seniors are the liveliest of all classes. The Roughnecks are known by everyone and are envied by some. We are entertained very often and we are always sure of a good time. Clarence Slater is our able president. Miss Coleman, our faculty advisor, helps us in all diffi- culties and leads us along diligently. The Class of 1924 is such a bright and studious class that we are sure that whenever the History of S. H. S. is mentioned we shall always be accorded the highest place. -Bernice O'Leary.
