9 in W lg ll by fffi 1 .I i V W Fourteen History of the Class of 24 I-'TER four years of steady grinding the Class of '24 has declared its battle won. We are proud that our class is the first to graduate, after having spent six years in South High School. Back in 1920-21 the world looked bright to us Freshies. With George Williams as our leader, we plunged on to victory in the Color Day events. Green and gold hats figured prominently on the field south of the building. Our basketball girls con- quered Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores, and won the tournament. The boys showed up equally well and won the baseball tournament. Though merely sheep , we were very well represented on the varsity in football and basketball. Spirit was kept alive by parties, the most notable being the weiner roast at Hoover's Lake. As Salas we welcomed the sunny side of the Study Hall as our Home Room. Richard Thompson was elected president, but at his early leaving, we chose Calvin Early to guide us through the remaining months. Again, the girls won the basketball tournament, and received their numerals. Following their custom, the'boys won the baseball tournament. One bright day in early spring every Sap did his bit in helping to beautify our lawn. Our varsity representation in basketball and football was un- usually large. By September, 1922, we took on new dignity, climbed four flights of stairs and claimed the Cafeteria as our own. That year Henry Giberson was elected to steer our class through fair or foul weather. Early in the fall, we trooped to the City Park and thoroughly enjoyed a Weenie roast. Soon after we celebrated Hallowe'en with a dance. We ordered our rings and pins and one day received them amid great rejoicing. Our boys won the basketball and baseball tournaments. Twelve of the boys won letters for gridiron work, and seven for work in basketball. ln April we staged The Touchdown with great success. With our money we gave the Seniors a farewell reception at the Moose Temple. ln the middle of September, 1923, we again took up our work. But our gait was more dignified and our features took on a serious air to classify us as mighty Seniors. To our disappointment, we had to share the Study Hall with the Juniors. Thelma Irwin was chosen to lead us through our last and most momentous year. To start the year right we had a Weiner roast in Kissing Hollow. One day the supposedly dignified Senior girls came to school wearing hair ribbons and kid dresses. Miss Conrath joined in the eating of lollypops. It is needless to say that the whole school was shocked. As soon as the new additions were completed, we moved to the traditional Senior room, 204. We christened it Heaven and we, as angels, adorned it most becomingly. Just before Christmas, on a very rainy night, some of the Seniors enjoyed a box supper in the old gymn. If you want to know about the eats, just ask our two Louie Smiths. We spent many trying minutes in deciding on styles for name cards, and ordered our invitations. For the third time our girls won the basket- ball tournament. Who can say that we did not enjoy ourselves on Valentine Day? just ask Miss Conrath to see the Valentines she received. In March The Charm School was given before a large and appreciative audience. On Senior Day our class I talent entertained Senior High, and we presented our beloved school with an ap- 5 propriate gift. Our farewell over, we attended the Junior Hop and prepared for E Commencement. In dramatic and music circles Seniors have gained renown. We were also well Y represented in Welfare and Blue Triangle work, Art and Science. Q Farewell, all. Nlay your record be as bright as ours has been! ...I if Q0 'iii x ,,,,,..,.,,,.,,.Qig,f.'1'..f E 443 5 xl lil ri g , ig ' 1 . i l 9
