T H E 19 2 4 B I S B I L A CHAPTER X THE REIGN OF AN IDEAL CLASS In the year High School ns The Reign of Ideal Class Freshman Fit, Pandemonium, some special ev an 1920 commenced what has been popularly known in University the Reign of an Ideal Class. The history of this famous class started in .September of that year, and covers four years, respectively, from that time until June, 1924. There were four distinct periods in this reign generally classed thus: The The Sophomore Spasm, The Junior Convulsion, and The Senior Each period has its prominent political leaders and is noted for ent occurring within it. The famous reign commences brilliantly with The Freshman Fit, which covers the first year. In order fully to appreciate this period, it is necessary that one should become acquainted with its leaders. Perhaps the most noticeable of these was Robert Tambornino, who ruled the court as president of the executive department. Wirt Stickler assisted with these duties as vice-president, while Katherine Kelley was the sturdy keeper of the records. Julia Partington was safe-keeper of the funds of this period and proved very worthy of this responsible position. The court of this period was still in its infancy and appointed Cecil Hanson as sergeant-at-arms in order that a revolution should not break out. As the class reporter, David Wing showed his talent, and Miss Pauline Thornton, as class adviser, was the most prominent leader of The Fit. The Political Leaders of the Fit The first important event of this age was a Hallowe’en party which proved to THp Mortal QMp ° e a ver.v 8°° “ice-breaker for getting the members of the court together. It seems that aside from a jolly party in Of the Fit February, 1921, given for the class by Mary White, there were no other important social events of the period. The Ideal Class seems to have been very prominent in athletics from the very Th A rhlptir» beginning, and history records that several of the boys of the class were on the second teams during The Fit. But the boys Ot tne rlt alone did not excel along this line, for the girls received their honors when they captured the cup for athletics at the end of the year. The Sophomore Spasm started out with Miss Margaret McGuire as the new authoritative member of the Ideal Class. Miss McGuire, it seems, was a very charming character and possessed remarkable ability. She seemed most worthy to fill the new position and was received bv all with applause. The other noted leaders of the period were James McConnell, the very efficient president; Mar- The Leaders of the Sophmore Spasm garet Hummel, vice-president; I.orna Scott, secretary; and Robert Rhamc, treas- urer. The social life was not very prominent as there was only one really great event of this period. A sleigh ride party which was very well attended was given on a Social Life of clear winter evening. After the ride cocoa and sandwiches were served at the school, and refreshments were so good that the Spasm the njg|lt watchman permitted himself to be bribed into let- ting the young people dance till eleven o’clock. From all records it is evident that this party was a great success, although it was the only one of the period. 1 27 1
