T H E T A T T L E R was captured by these mighty Sophomore warriors, who swore that they should keep it and honor it to the end of their days. It also came to pass that high point man in the Track Meet, by name Clayton Donohoe, boasted manfully that he was from the Class ot three and twenty, and said class was filled with much pride, that the prized gold medal should be awarded to one of their classm ' ates. Three members were retained on the basketball team and seven of the football team. With our pedigree now thoroughly established in this Land of Learning by our un- cejasing activities and triumphant victories over other classmen, we were satisfied that we would come back as mighty Juniors and have our standard of ’23 as a beacon of encourage- ment to the struggling under classes and one to be feared and honored by the upper classmen. It came to pass, that Clayton Donohoe deciding to move to a distant land did bid the class of three and twenty adieu. With his farewell, we lost our best athlete. Chapter III Now it came to pass that the ambition of this class did not waver or turn from the straight and narrow path and that all things sworn to be done in the Sophomore year carried triumphantly on the backs of the deserving Juniors. All others now looked upon this energetic class with due respect. Their merits were now recognized from even tlie smallest and untutored Freshman to the Senior overladen with learning and his own im- portance. Now, when the seventh day of the fourth month of the year of two and twenty was fully come, this Class did give a great feast, and did send messages over all the land,, aest, west, north and south, to all the inhabitants thereof, saying, “Come ye and make merry with us; for the Class of two and twenty is to depart to a far country, and all things are now ready for the feast.” And as they were bidden, so came they in large numbers to the place set apart, and did eat of the good things of the Land, and did re- joice with the Class of two and twenty at the good fortune which had come to them, in return for all their long and patient laboring at the tasks that had been set before them. And when the guests did at last depart from the festivities, they were exceedingly glad that things were as they had proclaimed, and did give much thanks to the Class of three and twenty for the pleasure they had provided for their enjoyment. Again history repeated itself and four of the members from the Class of three and twenty were chosen for Student Body Officers. As the years rolled by more and more members were chosen to hold a position on the football and basketball teams. Of the letter men in Football, nine were from the twice honored Class of three and twenty. Of the six letter men in Basketball, five were selected from this Class. It came to pass that in the Track Meet of two and twenty, this Class took honors even greater than the preceding year. Heber Sharp captured the gold medal which is always awarded to the best athletic member of the High School. It also came to pass that the first year that the girls were given medals for track meet that Evelyn Jacobs was awarded the bronze medal. At the close of the third year we left the Land of Learning with intentions of raising the standard of the class of three and twenty to still higher planes. Chapter IV Now. this, the fourth year in the history of this great and powerful Class of three and twenty has been one of much hard labor, and but little resting by the wayside ; for preparations have been making ready for them to take their final departure from this land. Now it came to pass as their pride grew to a great bigness within them, that the Class began to wish for badges befitting their station ; and many messages were sent to the big cities and all the towns roundabout for samples of their fine jewelry; and at last, after much considering and reconsidering, the Class professed itself to be satisfied with its choice, and rings and pins were purchased with which they rested well content.

7 HE TATTLER Class Chronicle Chapter I. Now the history of the Class of Twenty-three, of the High School of the City of St. Anthony, County of Fremont. State of Idaho, is in this wise: In the beginning, in the ten-and-ninth year of our Lord, in the ninth month, in the twentieth century, there entered this Land of Learning, sixty and one seekers of knowledge. Some came from the Eighth Grade, where they had for many months been busily engaged m storing their minds with the honey of wisdom; some were green and fresh from a far country; some came from farms, where they had been tillers of the soil; and some were from other halls of instruction. And it came to pass, as they did enter their land, that they were received with wild welcomings and rejoicings by those who it was decreed, should henceforth lead them up the slippery by-ways of knowledge. Likewise it came also to pass that they were received with malicious and diabolical glee by a certain band of wild beings who were called “Sophomores” and who because of their fierce wild taste for Freshmen blocd did pounce upon them daily and nightly, and did cause them to suffer great things and to say in their hearts: “Behold, blessed be the name of Edu ation, for because of it have we endured great torments both of the body and of the mind. Verily have we been martyrs to its great and noble cause!” And as they dwelt long in the land they fell in with the customs of the inhabitants thereof, and their strangeness wore away, and they each became as one among the rest. Now it came to pass that they were foreordained to become leaders and that many members would gain fame. Therefore soon after entering the land they were seized with a strange infirmity which did cause them to act with much fierceness and strangeness of manner, and to grapple and wrestle with their kind in much rage and seething ferocity. Wise men were called and they pronounced it “football.” This disease was allowed to run its natural course, and io, none were killed, and few were seriously injured, whereat there was great rejoicing throughout the land. Leaders they were foreordained to be. Soon after entering the land they showed their ability. “First Honor Student” of the High School was awarded to Clyde Cox. A leader for the govern ng of the land was chosen from their class. Whereat the remaining became jealous and left the meeting in wrath. Eight members played on the football team. Two re eived places of honor on the basketball team. It came to pass, that although it was our first year and we were looked down upon by upper classes and classmen, that Clayton Donahue, one of our entries in the Track Meet, took second honors and was awarded the silver medal. It was his athletic ability that put the Freshmen into the third place and above the socially inclined and snobbish Juniors. Chapter II Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year that a new band of youths did come up from the adjoining territory, and the Class of three and twenty, in the new dignity of its promotion, remembered the days of its own greenness, and as the Sopho- mores of their day had done unto them, even so did they do unto these new Freshmen, and did show no mercy unto their sufferings, and no heed unto their lamentations until all were bruised and fuff of much sorrow. And as it was the first, their Class again showed their superiority over all others, and pgain Ill ' s class was hciicred by the election of two members for officers in the Student Body. Only the best could suffice so accordingly they looked to us. It came to pass that the coveted silver loving cup, awarded to the class highest in points in the Track Meet, Page Twenty-five

7 HE TATTLER And it so happened that a certain great member of the Class, having been given the one talent of speech making and blessed with physical powers was chosen as valedictorian, and an equally great member the distinction of salutatorian, Clyde Cox being the former and Frank Soule the latter. After much deliberation “Nothing but the Truth” was selected as the class play. The play as well as the cast was carefully selected and will of course, be a great success, surpassing any that has been given and will be given in the future. It came to pass that as the days grew longer and nature began to put on her spring dress, that this Class began training for the Track Meet. The result cannot be given this year but that is hardly necessary because of our past triumphs. The success of this class is not doubted or will not be hotiy disputed. Our name shall again be engraved on tlie silver cup. We point with pride to the symbols, “Sophomores ’21.” “Juniors ! 22,” and as it shall be “Seniors : 23.’ The gold medal shall not be taken from us and we have high hopes of winning one of the other two. It came to pass that after three years of most discouraging defeats by other school teams that the football season of ' 22 was the best season that St. Anthony lias had. This can easily be seen if one will take into consideration the fact that eleven of the sixteen men of letters were enrolled in the class of three and twenty. The Class of three and twenty boasts of the following letter men for the four ' years: Sharp, four years; Jackson, three years; J. Bauer, four years; Ferney, four years; BPecken ridge, three years; F. Soule, four years; Chase, two years; Cox, two years; White, two years; Davis, one year: E. Soule, one year; R. Bauer, one year; Watson, one year; McArthur, one year. The Class also claims many of its members as being on the letter list for basketball; Sharp, four years; Chase, two years; J. Bauer, two years; F. Soule, two years; White, two years; Henrichs, one year; King, one year; Ferney, two years; and Donolioe, two years. Letter men in basketball for three and twenty w r ere eight in number. Six were Seniors. Since our advent into the high school over fifty per cent of the members of the football and basketball teams have been enrolled under the banner of three and twenty. Four Student Body Presidents have come from the far famed Class of three and twenty. In three years of participation in the Track Meet, two very worthy members have received the gold medal for their athletic ability. These were Heber Sharp and Clayton Donahoe. In the Girls entries at this Track Meet, Evelyn Jacobs honored the Class and the girls by winning the bronze medal. Very good for the first year. We shall expect more from her at the Track of ’23. The Class of three and twenty has taken and held most hon- orably, for two consecutive years, the Silver Loving Cup of the St. Anthony High School. We feel that we have outlived the worst of our warlike inclinations although we have grave fears for the Juniors along that line. We know the Juniors are beginning to feel the influence of modern civilization. But there are some cannibalistic tastes that at times assert themselves, even yet. We will leave you, kind reader to figure this out from your personal observations as modesty forbids our being any more explicit. So it came to pass that of the three and sixty that entered this Land in ten and nine, only five and twenty will depart, for verily, verily, 1 say unto you, that broad is the gate and wide is the way that leadeth to the High School, and many there be that go in thereat; but straight is the gate, and narrow is the way that leadeth to graduation, and few there be that find it. Four years hath the Class of three and twenty sojourned in the land, and gathered in large portions the fruits from the Tree of Knowledge. But it is written, “In the days when ye shall have eaten of all these fru ' ts, ye shall surely be driven from the land ” Now, I say unto you, they must depart thence, to go each a separate way, to lands they know not of, to do, they know not what. But, “let us not weary in well doing, for in due season we shhll reap if we faint not.” And now may the blessings that ev er attend the noble and good and true, follow and abide with us, each and all, now and forevermore. Amen. — E. S. Page Twenty-seven
