 ntuirfl It was one September morning when there was seen coming up the street what, at a distance, appeared to be a grove of trees, but as it drew near it was seen that it was the Class of ’24, in its Freshman year. Yes, we were as green as the average. We came into the assembly and sat back in the Seniors’ section, until we were informed by Mr. Young that we had the honor of sitting in the front rows. As time went on we were constantly reminded that we were of an inferior class and that we were not to enjoy the privileges of the Seniors. But in spite of all these daily happenings our education progressed rapidly; we learned that, under favorable conditions, A could accomplish more in one hour than B could in one week. We also found out that C could do as much as both of them put together, there- fore he was the best man. It was soon found that these Frosh were not as awkward as they looked, for in our Freshman year we placed four men on the Football team, two on the Basketball team and four on the Track team. As Sophs, we went through the regular routine as any other class might do, except for the fact that our athletics stood out far above the rest. We began to shine in our Junior year. We placed seven men on the Football team, four on the Basketball team and four on the Track team; we also gave the “Fun Festi- val,” the first affair of its kind ever held in S. S. H. S. The main event of the year was the Prom, a formal banquet and dance given by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors. Members of this class also won in Declamation and Oration. As Seniors the publishing of the paper and the breaking in of a new Faculty, along with many other responsibilities, fell upon our shoulders. Hugh Roberts, Lillian Rector, Dorothy Bergen and Louis Dalpez left our ranks this last year, to go to various other schools. Nellie Fritz joined us from Glenwood Springs, Pete Becker from Denver Manual High, and Lawrence Mann from Gothenburg, Nebraska. Esther Suttle, Oliver Welch. Willard Smith and Eunice Lewis joined us, from the ranks of ’25. As thi4 was the last year of our High School life we did our best, we placed eight men on the Football team, six men on the Basketball squad, and four on the Track team. The officers of this class were Borden Neiman, President of the Class and of the Student Council; Lela Follett, Secretary-Treasurer; Oliver Welch, Editor in Chief of “The Whistle,” and Willard Smith, Editor of “The Sailor.” (This class accomplished many other things too numerous to mention. Anyone who wishes to know about them, should just ask us.) 19-SAIL0R-24 = Tago 1

dlmttor (Elaaa Top Row—Magill, Curtis, Patton, Cross, Poulson, Edmondson. Middle Row—Utterback, Wood, Ratcliff, Smith, Bartholomew, Dorr. Bottom Row—Hix, Brown, West, Mulkey, Thompson, Williams (Sponsor). Of all our years in school this has been the busiest. Our first event of note was the Chapel program, in which we presented “Wild Nell.” February 8 and 9 we pre- sented “Green Stockings,” a very successful play. March 22, in collaboration with the Annual Board, we gave a Fun Festival. The crowning event of the year was the Junior Prom, on May 2. Due to the untiring effort of our Sponsor, Miss Williams, and the cooperation of the class, this proved to be one of the most elaborate and enjoyable affairs of j.he year. Both the boys and the girls of the class did their part in making this a successful year for the school in athletics, and have in every other way upheld the name of S. S. H. S. There is now but one year left, and when the class of ’25 grad- uates, let us hope that everyone agrees with us that it is the best class ever. - 19-SAIL0R-24 Page 17
