Jfiesijman Oass %)istovp IX the fall of the eventful year of 1!»17 the Steamboat Springs Iliijh School was made aware oi the fact that an unusually brilliant Freshman class was in their midst. Our career was started when we were invited to the Sunset supper given by the Seniors. We enjoyed ourselves very much and became quite well acquainted with our fellow classmen. A few days later the hoys had the delightful experience of making the acquaintance of the painting qualities of iodine. It was lather a painful and embarrassing experience, but the upper «.lasses seemed t« think it necessary to initiate us. hollowing the example of the other classes the Freshmen held a meeting and elected officers. Wallace Homier was chosen president. Fay (iinter vice-president, and Vivienne Stukev treas- tuci. I urple and gold were chosen as our class colors. During the year two parties were given by the Freshmen, one at Thanksgiving in honor of the Junior class and the other on Washington’s birthday. At riianksgiving tlie first grade room was the scene of our festivities and was decorated with purple and gold crepe paper. (»ames and dancing furnished amusement and 1 i o’clock much too soon. During the evening dainty refreshments served. came were On ashington’s birthday we decorated with flags. The events of the evening included stunts performed by the faculty. Mr. .Muir executed such a perfect jig that the judges awarded him the prize (a long stick «.f red candy.) In March the Freshmen decided to give a coasting party for themselves, but the upper classes displayed such an interest in the paitv that it was necessary for us to entertain them too. for a while. Our class is quite proud of the record made by its boys in the Ski Carnival. Orin Marvin. Who jumped in Class A, won third prize, and Edgar Dorr, who jumped in Class C, won the special prize given by the Bakery. The original class numbered twenty, but of this number only fourteen entered High School, though the number was in- creased to twenty-eight by the addition of new pupils through- out the first term.

 opfjomore Class tstorp IN the fall of nineteen hundred and sixteen the present Sopho- mure class, then Freshmen, entered High School and started on the way through High School under the guidance of Pro- fessor Thompson, Principal linker. Miss Stukey. Miss Keller. Miss immer, Miss Robert and Miss Clark. At our first meet- ing we found ourselves to he the largest Freshmen class of the former years. And as our number was thirty-two members, from all parts ol the state, we naturally came to be slightly feared by the other classes, and very few were ever initiated. At our first meeting Lloyd illiams was elected president ; Mary Insley. vice-president; Ralph Mann, secretary, and Willard I'isher, treasurer. I o show our good spirit and fellowship we gave an entertainment in honor of the Juniors, for the whole High School. nd as every person present enjoyed this enter- tainment so much we gave another later, to show we were stdl able to produce as good or better entertainments, as a whole, than the other classes. c also had a very enjoyable little skiing party to ourselves, which was not bothered or broken up by other classes. As a whole the class of '20 showed a large amount of good fellowship and class spirit. During the year several of the High School’s best football Players and ski jumpers were members of the Freshman class. In the fall of nineteen hundred and seventeen the past Fresh- men. now Sophomores, again entered High School. And al- though we have suffered a loss of several members, we are still the same old jubilant class. Yc have the same old spirit which always makes the ball keep rolling and leads many up the ladder to success. At our first meeting Willard Fisher was elected president. K« bert Col in an vice-president, Helen Long secretary, and Nellie I HI is treasurer. Again this year our abilities as Sophomores were recognized by the success of an ciitetrainmcnt given, in honor of the Seniors, to the whole High School. It was a perfect success ami an example which we hope the classes following in our wake can duplicate. During the second semester William Fisher was elected president. Florence West vice-president and Anns Adams secre- tary and treasurer. During this period we again gave an entertainment which was another great success. I he successful drives which the athletes of the High School are making and have already made are due to the members of the Sophomore class which have taken part. And as Juniors next year vve hope to be able to enjoy success ami happiness. e hope also to be a better class as Juniors than the Seniors. And at the rate which our class is progressing we will he heard of favorably and often in the years to come. LLOYD WILLIAMS.
