THE TATTLER »:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiir which was held at Blackfoot. Four members from the Sophomore class contested in this district. At the beginning of the second semester the class officers elected were Theo- dore Harder, president; Lavern Hansen, vice-president, and Earl Anderson, sec- retary and treasurer. When school closed that spring we were proud of the fine record and good reputation which we had made for ourselves as a class. In our jolly Junior year we began with thirty members. The officers elected for the first semester were Earl Anderson, president; Millie Birch, vice president; Ida Osguthorpe, secretary and treasurer, and Air. Jewell, class advisor. Debates again held a prominent place in the school work and four of our class made names for themselves and honors for the school. The praises for this go to Norma Soule, James Sharp, Lavern Hansen and Tyler Buchaneau. Five of our members entered the Declamatory contest and three of them, Hazel Van Tassel, Tyler Buchaneau and Ida Osguthorpe won in this district and were sent to Idaho Falls. In Athletics the Juniors came forth again both as players on the teams and as supporters of all the games. In March we gave our Junior Prom. It was proclaimed the most elaborate affair ever given and the Seniors who were the honored guests reported an ex- cellent time. At the close of our term as Juniors, we began to feel the responsibility which had been shifted to our shoulders by the Seniors. We began to feel more serious and dignified and to look at life from a different view point. During the summer vacation two of our numbers Bess Fisher and Arvilla Brower, decided to forsake the single life. Both married fine young men who were graduates from the St. Anthony High School and are now very happily settled. This last year has passed very quickly and we are now almost ready to make our exit. But before we go we must tell you about this — the crowning year of our High School career. For the first semester we chose Norma Soule, president; Leah Evans, vice- president ; Mollie Hopkins, secretary and treasurer, and Mr. Lewis, class advisor. Three of the Juniors became ambitious and joined our class. Welcome fel- low classmates. Our class has always been strong for athletics so of course members from it again entered football and basetball teams. The best players on the teams are hailed as Seniors. We were again represented in the Declamatory contest by Hazel Van Tassel, Ida Osguthorpe, James Sharp, Tyler Buchaneau and Lucile Hudson. Al- though we did not have a chance to do much in the line of debating four of the Seniors were on the team. For the second semester our Senior class officers were : Orville Potts, presi- dent ; Glen Perham, vice president, and Hazel Kooch, secretary and treasurer. We feel grateful to the Juniors for the lovely party which they gave in our honor. We know that we shall never again be treated so royally. On the evening of April 15th occurred the Senior Ball. We only hope that everybody had the good time which we wished them to have. The play selected for the Senior class is called “Assisted by Sadie. Since the Seniors have proven their ability in every other line it is certain that they will succeed as actors and actresses. Judging from all which the Seniors have accomplished we will let you deter- mine whether or not we have lived up to our motto : : Be not simply good. Be good for something. Page Thirty-one

THE TATTLER »:iilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMlMllllllllMlllllllllllllliiiiiiilllllllllllllliiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii» History of the Class of 1921 NE definition which has been securely fixed in our minds is — His- tory is a record of past important events, their causes and results. The student will say that the history which he enjoys most is one with very few dates. In this I shall attempt to please that class by mentioning only two dates, both of which are important to the members of the class at least. In September 1917, fifty girls and boys having obtained by hard study their release papers from the eighth grade entered the Freshman class of the High School. We were Freshmen hut not doomed to drift — determined Freshmen to row out and meet the rough places. We were very often impressed by the Seniors on whom we looked with eyes of awe — those Seniors who had almost completed this higher education. With Professor Sparks in the Superintendent ' s chair and Mr. Cotton as prin- cipal and our class advisor we soon gained confidence in ourselves and soon were able to hold our own with the upper classmen. The Freshmen held a class meeting soon after school started for the purpose of electing a leader. James Sharp was chosen president; Bessie Fisher, vice- president; and .Millie Birch, secretary and treasurer. Under their leadership the class was well able to endure the taunts and jeers of the upper classmen. In the beginning of the second semester the class constitution was drawn up and the following officers were selected: Fyle Ferney, president; Ida Osgu- thorpe, vice-president, and Hugh Baumberger, secretary and treasurer. We were represented that year on the debating team by James Sharp and the boys’ and girl’s basketball by Theodore Harder and Millie Birch. Our Freshmen class party was a great success. Then our ability as en- tertainers was brought to light and we have been prominent in that line ever since. We enjoyed several High School parties during that year. These little so- cial functions made things seem brighter and we found our first year’s work a very pleasant one. When school began the next fall we felt somewhat more dignified, for weren’t we now to be known as Sophomores? We found it much easier now to command the respect of the other classes. The faculty was almost entirely new. Mr. Fewis, who has remained with us ever since was Superintendent. His noble qualities were recognized imme- diately, and he at once gained the due respect of all the students. Miss Wood was principal and the remarkable manner with which she has managed every thing for the good of the High School is admirable. Our officers for the first semester were: Arvilla Brower, president; Hugh Baumberger, vice-president; Fucile Hudson secretary; Forrest Buster, treasurer and Miss Hynds, class advisor. The first party held in the Gym that year was given by the Sophomore class. The class colors, purple and white, which we had chosen when we were Freshmen were artistically used in decorating. Two members from onr class were again given places on the High School Basketball team. It was during this year that the school entered the State Declamatory contest Page Thirty

THE TATTLER MiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinmiiiiiiiiiiMimiiiiiiiiiii Class Prophecy of ’21 p| PON receiving the opportunity of a six months tour through the United States, my ambitions were centered upon a visit to Wash- ington, D. C., to see and understand how the government and business of our large country was being handled and carried on. Upon my arrival 1 was immediately struck by the magnificent beauty of the place. During my short ride to the White House I picked up a morning ' s paper and was astounded to find an article announcing that Miss Norma Soule, a social reformer, was established in Washington and was to give a confidential talk to the people that night concerning her ideas of the serious problems she was now confronting. I learned later that she had made an appointment with a commit- tee to consider the adoption of some of her theories into Congress. Norma’s convincing manner would certainly prove very influential in her present un- dertakings. Next my interests led me to New York, the largest and strangest of all the American cities. I was very much surprised to meet my old school chum, Hugh Baumberger, and to learn that his love for experimenting had finally amounted to something. The head lines of the extras acquainted the- public of the remark- able achievemnt ; an areocjuadromotoplane so constructed as to be suitable for air, water or highway. My stay in the city was made very pleasant by this unus- usual coincidence and I am glad to announce that I had the pleasure of enjoying a long ride in the new machine. I was also very glad to learn that Frances Ferney, who was always undecided as to what her career should be, bad, through her kind generous nature, decided to help humanity, and was now one of the country’s most prominent and diligent care-takers of the sick and was then established i n one of New York ' s largest hospitals as head nurse. From New York my next important stop was at Chicago, the city of contin- ual bustle and activity. Here I encountered Orville Potts, who was just return- ing to his office after a long serious seige at the hospital, having been badly hurt while carrying out one of his new and famous electrical engineering schemes. While waiting for my train at Omaha my attention was arrested by a con- tented and very familiar laugh. Could my ears be deceiving me? No it was Lucile. After a friendly embrace and a few hurried words of gretting, I was introduced to a very handsome young man standing by her side, whom I after- wards learned was her husband. Lucile, despite our predictions, taught school for one year, but at the end of that time the temptations of matrimony proved too great, and she was at that time enjoying a most delightful honeymoon. Dur- ing our chat she told me of Sylvia’s success as a business manager of one of the large mercantile stores in Portland, Oregon. Page Thirty-two
