red marks changed its name to that of junior. That year we were in more activities than ever. Every one acknowledged that the junior class was the best in school. During that year Miss Long and Mr. Martin were given to us as class advisers, and they proved to be such excellent helpers that we besought Mr. Hester to let us retain them. We tried some new stunts that year. One was a moonlight picnic, on which the mudhole played an important part. Another new stunt was that of giving a picture to the school. At last the crowning moment came and we were seniors. Dur- ing this year we have had a number of delightful social functions. Some of the especially enjoyable events were the reception given by the juniors, the evening at Mr. and Mrs. W. Fl. Hester's home. the banquet given by our parents, our party at Anna Margaret Kline's home, our moonlight picnics, the parties at the homes of Wilma and Leona Schendel and Augusta flarquist-in fact, they were all especially enjoyable. Mr. Martin 's Good Night, Ladies will never be forgotten by the seniors. One of the best times we have ever had was the afternoon we spent with Ralph Ayres Mar- tin. He is such a delightful entertainer that we shall not soon for get it, and the young men will always linger in our memories as the handsomest fellow we know. Another one of our undertakings for this year was the giving of the Follies of l9l7. The whole class took part in this enterg tainrnent. This was a new idea for the school, but as we are such a talented class, it was quite easy for us to make the Follies of 1917 a very pleasing event. lVe have a number of distinguished people in our class. Har- old McMurry has won two state and two National prizes for writing essays. There were three seniors on the debating team, four on the tennis teams, two in the annual play, five on the basketball tam, seven in the double quartet, three on the baseball team, and five on the track team. The most wonderful thing of all is that we are not a bit conceited because of our successes, although the jun iors think we are. We are graduating with an enrollment of forty- three-the largest class in the history of our high. Now, although we don 't know what the school will do without us, we must bid farewell to Mr. Hester, to our excellent faculty. to our classmates, to the members ofthe lower classes, and to our dear old alma mater. May all members of the Turlock High School have a happy, successful life is the wish of the class of 1917-the best class ever! ALICE CHAPPELL '17. Twenty-three
