Basketball (2), (3), (4); Glee Club (4); Business Manager of Dramatic Club; Tennis Club (1); Busi- ness Manager of Athletic Association (4); The Eagle staff. Many people with a goodly amount of avoirdupois tend to sluggishness; but not so with Carrie. She is a noted worker both in her studies and our class activities. She always wears a broad smile, especially on History quizes, and only allows a serious expression to come near her face when debating some hea1?ed question. Pa(1e Twenty three

History of the Class ISTORY meanSj I suppose, facts clironologieally arranged with, perhaps, the addition of some causes and effects of the same. In giving these facts, I must be careful not to trench upon any of the interesting happenings for fear of being called down by Leo Ennis, statistician. I must not indulge in rhyme lest Lawrence Staneil, poet, may be offended. I can ' t even dare to make song of our most inspiring facts lest I be violently reminded that our class song (and we must have but one) is already entrusted to Ben Baker. I must not even ask that undergraduates may, when another session begins, occupy our desks where we ' ve laughed and cried, and which we ' ve beautified with ink blotches and hair pin scratches, for that solemn duty belongs to our testator, Irene Page Stevens. Handicapped as you see I am, yet I am permitted to give a few facts chrono- logically arranged. ' 22. We entered high school in a class of forty-four (mostly boys and girls) — a menagerie well managed by Miss Ora C. Canceler, who diligently watched over and guided us in the use of her plough — algebra. Roots of Latin were dug up before our eyes and transplanted in our brains by Miss Laura Weddell. Being far too young and inexperienced to realize the need of officers, we left all matters of class welfare to our teachers. ' 23. Sophistocated Sophomores ! What excitement ! A new building and a top-floor room — quite a rise over our old basement quarters. But alas, a great number of us were missing. However, the new school trucks gathered in enough students to almost fill the places of our lost members, finally giving us the number of forty-two. We began to sparkle with quite a number of gems in athletics. Miss Wilson, the girls ' coach, unearthed them. These, added to our brilliants already starring in that line, brought us into the limelight. But the crowning achievement of our Sophomore class was the acquisition of our good luck Penny. ' 24. ISTot having lost our aforementioned Penny, good luck awaited us at every turn. The following officers were elected to seize upon any stray bits of responsibility that might be found, and brand them with our seal. Henry Royall was chosen to the high office of President, while the records and finances Avere very capably looked after by Lawrence Staneil. During this year our activities varied somewhat. Athletics were still at the front, but early in the fall our attention was seized by the money-making microbe. As a result we sallied forth to the county fair to sell red-hot hot-dogs and ice-cold coca-colas. The wealth accumulated there, we unselfishly used for taking the Seniors on a Page Twenty-four
