And so, in the fall of 1918-we, the Class of Double Nineteen became 'lhlighty Seniors. Every class has to have its officers-quite a number of our class mates realized this and offered themselves as sacrihces to the cause-so likewise did your historian. We accepted as sacrifices Corydon Bradley for Presidenty Sarah White, First Vice President, Helen Hoffman, Second Vice Presidentg Norman Stitt, for Secretary, and Harold Davis, for Treasurer. VVe were most fortunate in having as Faculty Adviser, R111 White, the never regretted choice of any Senior class who have had him. VVe continued our war work with more vim than ever until the armistice was signed on November ll, 1918. VVe collected nut shells by the thousands as they were needed for manufacture of carbon to be used in gas masks. We went IQOZ in Red Cross lvfembership Drive, collected discarded clothes and brought them to swell the piles for the Belgian Relief. Again we became active in Thrift Stamp Campaigihs, and in United War Work. We filled Comfort Kits for the wounded soliders in Hospitals int France, at Christmas time, and then the War being ended, our thoughts turned to lighter things and we gave our class party. Our class placed four men on the first team in Basketball, and awarded class basketball numerals in Senior Assembly to the Senior Basketball team which took second place honors in class basketball games. With Joe Sternamen as Senior Track lXfIanager, our men were trained for the Indoor Track lVIeet. Due to the hard work of Mr. White, Herbert Walton, Norman Stitt, and Corydon Bradley, our electric sign SENIURS which never failed a class yet, was swung over the balcony at promptly 8 o'clock, none the worse for the damages done by our enemies, the Juniors. Inspired by the loyal rooters in the balcony led by their yell leader, Lyman Coe, our class took second place in the Track lVIeet. Our class is more than well represented in the debating and literary societies of the high school. In all, we are proud of the 'fClass of Double Nineteenfl MARJORIE MATLOCK. Page Twenty-Six.
