A few days later, a class meeting was held and the following officers were chosen: Williaiii McCune-President. Allen Baker4Vice President. Loretta McCune-Secretary-Treasurer. The number of pupils in the class remained the same until the month of November when four discontinued their work: later one in February, and another in March. Our class was well represented in various school activities the first year: the boys in basket ball, and other sports and the girls in plays and music. On May the Sth our class colors-Old Rose and Purple- decorated the Assembly hall. The latter part of that month Allen Baker was chosen as the vocal contestant to represent the school at the County Meet at Chillicothe and Bernice Tindall in the tennis matches. At the close of the school year only twenty members re- mained in the class to become Sophomores the following September. The next time we came back to Timber we came as Soph- omores. Mr. Huey's place was filled by Mr. Reddick, and Miss Siegel's by Miss Lamb. Miss johnson still remained with us. The latter part of September the class officers were elected: Gladys Schoon-President. Loretta McCune-Vice President. Hazel Haller-Secretary-Treasurer. During the fall . Xllen. jesse. and l'l'illiam won praise on the first team in basket ball. The other members of the class won their praise in various plays: Her Honor the Mayor, O Joy San. Good Morning judge, and Sewing for the Heathen. Again .Xllen and Bernice represented the school at the County Track Meet at Princeville. the former receiving a second place medal in the vocal contest and the latter a first place medal in tennis. .Xt the end of this school term we realized we were only half way thru High School. On entering school the next year we were the first Junior class to assemble in the new building. Our colors appeared on the front of the Assembly room the first day. An apos- trophe added to the word junior showed possession of the room. It remained until a jealous Senior took it away. CThis didn't seem to bring the juniors and Seniors any closer to- getherj. :Xt the election of class officers, Hazel was elected Presi- dent, Allen, Vice President and Marion. Secretary-Treasurer. Vklith such lively officers at the head of the class, the Jun- iors were always called upon to supply the school with pep. Glenn and Bernice were chosen cheer leaders and they did everything in their power to create a lively spirit at the bas- ket ball games. A school carnival was given and seven juniors were called upon to furnish music for the occasion. lVe did this by join- ing the liitchen Cabinet Orchestra. Later on in the year we gave a school party, and on the 25th of January the class presented the play, 'lCivil Service. The cast of characters was well selected and each took his
