THE ECHO, ’27 ■a Senior History On September 7, 1923, twenty-five of the most brilliant Freshmen in the vicinity were discovered in the North Study Hall. They were not of the “pea-green freshie” type, although everyone looked upon them as such. With Miss Lundgren as adviser, the class was soon or- ganized. Bob Koch assumed the title of “Honorable Mr. President”. Eunice Stuber was called upon to service as Vice-President and Esther Stuber as Secretary and Treasurer. The Sophomores proved to be very hospitable folks and welcomed the radiant Freshmen with an initiation party that was greatly enjoyed by all present. After their first excitement was over they soon became better acquainted with the teachers. High school life seemed very discouraging to some of the members and soon brought the loss of Viola Getz, How- ard Staker, Ruth Hodgson, Martha Foley and Donald Gillan. Cora Tunis soon moved to Pekin to continue her work. The others soon acquired courage after Santa’s visit and their first year of school was over before they realized it. Sixteen of the number braved return the following September to try Sophomore life. None of them were disappointed. Miss Rhoades was honored with the title of Sophomore class adviser and Esther Stuber as Sophomore President. Russell Becker was again chosen to his office and Myrtle Davis now become the financial overseer. Cherry red and gray were chosen as class colors. The class in due time ini- tiated the Freshmen—failing to be as lenient as the preceding class. February 18, 1925, the famous class presented its first play, “Poor Father” to a large audience. Soon after, the horrors of the final exams were over, and the class enjoyed its last meeting as Sophomores at Pekin Park. The next fall the class met as Juniors. The Freshmen looked upon them and the Seniors as wonders. Clara Mae Washburn returned for only a few days but now Lucille Taylor entered—leaving us still with eight boys and eight girls. Miss Rhoades was again the adviser and Clyde Coddington was called to the presidency. Lucille Taylor was elected Vice-President and Matilda Moser, Secretary-Treasurer. Dur- ing the first semester the whole school watched the progress in erecting the new high school building. During the second semester it was ready for occupancy and the Juniors were very proud of the new chemistry laboratory. The class presented, “Daddy Long Legs” during the year to another appreciative audience. During the season the class derived much pleasure and some knowledge by listening to the occasional quar- rels of their superiors, the members of the Senior class. The year closed the adventures of the class with the Junior-Senior banquet. This was the most humorous event in its history due to the energy, vigor and vim of the two classes. In September the class reassembled as Seniors. They now pos- sessed the knowledge they thought they did as Sophomores. What they lacked now was the desired diploma. Robert again became Pres- ident as he did ’way back when we began our high school career. With Mr. Johnson as guide, the Echo staff was soon chosen and the Seniors were the busiest members in high school. The star basketball team Page Sixteen
