Earl Hoffman Class of ’20 As the class of ’26 we embarked on the mystical and terrorizing sea of knowledge which flows between the Grade and High Schools of Tremont. Our class consisted of twenty-six green tars with Captain Johnson in command and Pilot Chism at the helm. We steered successfully through the first year. We endured two terrific storms, our initiation by the Sophomores and the loss of several of our crew. As law and government are necessary even on ship board, we elected Clyde McQueen as President, Garth Russell as Vice- President, Lois Hoffman as secretary and Josephine Kinsey as treasurer. We chose colors of Harding blue and white. We took part in the stunt show which removed all thought of study from our minds. After nine months of ex- perience as sailors of the deep, we landed on the isles of acation, Rest, Duty and Recreation. After three long and joyful months of pleasure, we again set sail on the second lap of our journey towards Graduation. This year we lost many of our crew. Pilot Skinner succeeded Pilot Chism but our good ole captain remained with us. Our officers of the year were as follows: Mildred Moser, President; Margaret Maurer, Vice President; Clyde McQueen, Sec- retary and Treasurer. We welcomed the new class of 27 with a grand old party, which we hope they enjoyed to the utmost. We gave the play Mother Mine’ which was proclaimed the best of the year. The county meet came on and we were represented by Willis Diffenbaugh and Clyde McQueen in athlet- ics, also Nadena Morgenthaler in Literary. We also had representatives in the chorus. We then after a successful voyage, landed again on the Isles of Rest. After several months we started the third and present part of our voyage. We re-elected the President and Vice President with Lari Hoffman acting as Secretary and Treasurer. The important events of the first part were the play Cozy Corners and a Reception for the teachers. Captain Johnson and Pilot Skinner are still with us. We are planning great things. When we started our career the Sophomores gave us a hearty welcome. Now we are Juniors and they are Seniors who will soon leave us, we are planning to give them a farewell they never will forget. We are hoping to sail triumphantly into the Port of Success with the colors of our class and school ever floating proudly on high. TWENTY-ONE
