CLASS HISTORY About the beginning of September in the year 1918, a number of small, green, unso- phisticated, illiterate, group of human beings began to g ther about the brick structure, commonly called the schoolhouse. Their purpose there was vague, perhaps some of them had no purpose and if they did have a purpose there, they did not know it. Nev- ertheless they were there mingling With the more superior beings who did not appear to notce them. They were Freshmen-they were the class of 1922. They did not all sur- vive the hardships which confronted them in the way of Algebra, English, Geometry, Latin, Faculty and othe-r miscellaneous articles. As a result of this a number of. them fell by the waysideg some as Freshmen, some as Sophomores, and some as Juniors- and even Seniors. VVhat we h-ve left are probably the ones who started out in 1922 with a purpose. Our Freshman year, we regret to say, was rather a failure. Due to the efforts, or rather mis-efforts of Pat, alias Bernard Webb, since fallen by the wayside, we ac- complished nothing. We scarcely had a class meeting and never a party. At the end of the year, however, as is usually the custom, a good share of our Freshmen went to Crystal Lake and enjoyed a class picnic. Our Sophomore year, although judged so by some, was not a failure. lWith Russell Frank as president, we accomplished many things and rather woke up to the fact that we were alive as the rest of the cl1.sses.J We enjoyed one sleigh ride party during the winter. Arrangements were made to go to Bingham Grange hall, but owing to a severe snow storm during the day, we were unable to make the trip and had to re- sort to having our party at the school house. It was not altogether a failure after all. At the end of the year we again went to Crystal. At the beginning of our Junior year we elected Russel Frank as president of the class, and started things out with a rush. This was the year that the classes found out that we were not altogether a dead class. Thanks to the help of Mr. Rainey and Miss Hunt we were able to present Oliver Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer. It was a huge success and we realized a satisfactory pecuniary remuneration. NVe were also able to put on the first and we hope not the last Junior Hop in the history of the school. It was held at the Masonic Temple, April 5, 1921. Our annual, picnic was held at Crystal at the end of the year. At the time of this writing the Senior year is not complete. We have a class of about forty of about sixty or seventy who started as Freshmen. For the third and undoubtedly the last time, Mr. Frank was elected presi- dent. With John Zabelka as editor-in-chief and accumulation of other talent we have been able to put out the first year-book which has been published for a number of years. We c-we much thanks to the lower classmen, faculty, business men and others who have helped to make this book a success. At the present time we are making preparations to put on Shakespeare'5 Twelfth Night. Wlth the aid of Miss Hunt and a talented cast we hope to make this a success. -WOODBURY.
